Reading scripture (who is God really??)

I want more connection with God when I read the Bible, but sometimes the God I read about in the Bible doesn’t seem like the type of person I actually want to connect with at all!

I want more connection with Jesus!

So I should read more scripture right? At least that’s how I have often felt! I often notice myself thinking, “If only I was more consistent with my daily devotions!” or “Surely something is wrong with how I’m reading scripture, because I just don’t feel the presence of God enough!”

Navigating negative narratives and our desires

A theme that we will be exploring this year is the idea of spirituality as our longing for more. We are weary soujourners and this world is not our home. We all desire more peace, more security, more happiness, more connection, the list could go on. While learning to accept the reality of this broken world is important, it’s also important to accept our deep human longing for more, because this longing is ultimately a desire for God and an invitation to know him.

Epiphany is an explosion of grace

Epiphany is where the Gospel goes a little wild, a little unpredictable - not tame, not kosher! On Epiphany, it was pagan diviners who worshipped the child Jesus as “King and God and Sacrifice” (as the words of the carol say) with their gold, incense and embalming spices. Pagans, who ate weird stuff, spoke a strange language, and weren’t children of Abraham, were right there, in the heart of God’s holy family. And that bugs me!
