Let There Be Light

Let There Be Light

Like with salt, Jesus tells those who came to hear him on the mountainside that they are the light of the world. Did he just bookend the creation story in Genesis 1 by creating light at the beginning and at the end? Hang on to your photons, and read or watch to learn more.

A Covenant of Salt

A Covenant of Salt

Jesus told those assembled on a hillside that they were the salt of the earth but warned that salt could lose its flavor. Is it really about taste? To find the answer we need to look to the beginnings of civilization and then to God’s Covenant of Salt in the book of Numbers. Click one of the buttons below to watch or read more; and stay salty

On Being Good

On Being Good

One of the more perplexing lines in the Gospels is when a man comes to Jesus with a question and begins by addressing Jesus as, “Good Teacher.” Jesus’ first response is not to answer the man’s question, but to ask the man why he had addressed him as “good,” when only God is good.  What’s going on there?

Guided by Starlight

Guided by Starlight

On this Epiphany Sunday, we remember the star that guided the Wise Men to Bethlehem as well as the other biblical signs that pointed to Jesus’ nature and mission. Join us in looking forward to the full year ahead, when we will be exploring the metaphorical stars that guide our lives and faith.

The Parents of God

The Parents of God

We have just a few characters in the nativity scene left. Mary and Joseph are our focus for this Sunday, with the baby Jesus coming on Christmas Eve. What might God have been looking for in searching for the couple who would become Jesus’ parents? Watch and listen to see what you think.

The Night Visitors: A Conversation

The Night Visitors: A Conversation

As we continue our journey through the characters in typical nativity scenes, this week we put together two groups that weren’t at the manger even in the same year, let alone the same night: The shepherds and the kings. But looking at them together tells us something that is harder to see when looking at them separately. I am joined by Sal Caraviello for a conversation about the impact of these figures on the Christmas story and on our faith.
