Scripture: Psalm 139:1-18
A song (and Psalm) of the love and mystery of God which has been in us before we were, and still is, reminds us of the worth of each beloved creation. In a day in which we name the pain of domestic and intimate partner violence, we are encouraged to hold fast to these words… that we might know our own worth, and strive for the dignity, freedom, and belovedness of others.
Scripture: Luke 19:1-10
Zaccheus is a tax collector who has been serving the high ups of Rome. Yet, its when he one day looks down that he finally sees the face of Jesus. How are we called to look for God at ground level, and worry a little less about “climbing”?
Scripture: Ephesians 1:11-23
We remember (and reconnect) ourselves to those saints who have called us into more full life in the Spirit. Who are your saints? What have you inherited from them?
Scripture: Galatians 5: 1, 13-25
How do we, determine where the Spirit is leading us: as individuals, and as the church. The Apostle Paul invites us to look for the very specific fruits of our lives… and we explore how we might “listen” for that fruit.
Scripture: John 15:1-8
Jesus invites us into connection with one another as “branches of a vine.” How do nourish our connections with one another? What things might be “pruned” to give more life?
