Will you choose death or life? God already chose you a long time ago. You can choose to turn away, and that’s OK. But if you open your heart to God, guess what? You get life – and bunches of it! Life and death – and God’s life-giving Spirit – run through all of today’s […]
Jesus invites you to get lit! When someone says, “that’s lit,” these days it means something is cool or pleasing or maybe even exciting. A somewhat older meaning is that a person is quite drunk, as in, “wow, he was really lit.” Both these meanings have in their background the idea of light, of shining […]
Jesus, a shady lady, and eternal-life water! Jesus compares new life in God to a gushing spring whose water brings new life. That’s amazing news to the woman in today’s story – and maybe to you, too! This woman has quite the history. In a culture that prized chastity, she has been married to five […]
Are you looking for a new beginning? There was this guy, Nicodemus, who was beginning to wonder about Jesus. Nicodemus was a high-level man in the most influential Jewish circles of the time.

Then, the Holy Spirit leads him into the wilderness, where Jesus fasts for 40 days. (What a contrast that must have been!) The Devil comes to […]
Jesus: the first transformer! Jesus’ transforming journey invites us to our own transformation. When we follow his Way, we, too, become transformers. God transforms us through daily acts of love, kindness and justice — seasoned with a big dose of humility before our Creator. Working through our transformed selves, God transforms the world around us. […]
Nope, can’t love my enemies, Jesus! Jesus asks us to love each other. “OK, I can do that.” Then he asks us to love our enemies. We have to pray for people who hate us and are mean to us. “Whoa, now, Jesus! Haven’t you gone too far with that faith business?” Now we’re getting […]
God’s love & healing shine in the darkness! When Jesus starts out his ministry, he settles for a time in the lakeside village of Capernaum, by the Sea of Galilee. There, he heals the sick and suffering. He reaches out to people whose world seems clouded with darkness. As word gets out, folks flock to […]
