On The Road Again - PDF
On the road to Emmaus, two travelers encounter the risen Christ and recognize him through the interpretation of Scripture and in the breaking of bread. They turn and head in the opposite direction and gather with others who have had similar experiences. Their journey teaches us about our own.

Were You Out When Jesus Stopped By? - PDF
In the account of "Doubting Thomas" we see how doubt gives way to faith. The very human reactions of the followers of Jesus at the time of the resurrection, confusion, doubt and fear, can nonetheless be the forces that drive us towards clarity, faith and fearlessness in our actions to carry the Good News into the world.

He's Back! - Audio
He is risen! He is risen indeed! Today, we look at John's account of the empty tomb, reading the narrative with new eyes. All attempts to keep Jesus safely "inside the box" fail on Easter morning.

Hosanna! - PDF
On Palm Sunday we recall the entry of Jesus into Jerusalem to the cries of "Hosanna!" from the crowds; cries that turned to "Crucify him!" within a few days. We see how a mistaken view of Jesus and his purpose in journeying to Jerusalem still today leads to confused and negative views, distorting the meaning of discipleship.

Dry Bones - PDF
As Easter draws close, we look at Ezekiel's account of the Valley of Dry Bones as a helpful lens through which to examine the dying, death, resurrection and new life that comes about through Jesus. We see how this metaphor helps us to understand and live through times when we, too, encounter the Valley of Dry Bones.

For God So Loved The World - PDF
As our journey through Lent continues, we encounter the question of how our Lenten practices relate to the tragic situation in Japan where an earthquake and tsunami has caused devastation. How do we respond from a position of holiness and righteousness in the face of such a crisis?

Holiness And Righteousness - PDF
Holiness and righteousness are "big ideas" in Scripture and yet these may be terms that we rarely use in our everyday conversation. As we look at how these words are used in Scripture and made familiar to us in songs, we see the centrality of the concepts of holiness and righteousness in understanding the flow of the Scriptural narrative.

Salvation - PDF
As we think about salvation we encounter Paul's encouragement to, "Work out your own salvation with fear and trembling". Søren Kierkegaard (1813–1855), the philosopher, examined "fear and trembling" in the light of the story of Abraham. We explore this narrative and think about salvation in our own context.

The Will Of God - PDF
Today, we examine some of the big questions about the concept of "the Will of God". What does “the will of God” look like? Is everything that happens the will of God (including the bad things)? If not all things are the will of God, how do we discern God’s will for our lives? We use Leslie Weatherhead's categories of the intentional will of God, the circumstantial will of God and the ultimate will of God to try and answer these questions and others.

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling - PDF
The second stanza of Charles Wesley's classic hymn, "All Love Divine, All Loves Excelling" is missing from many hymnals. This stanza, which gives an account of "Christian Perfection" as a second blessing (a second act of grace that follows justification and regeneration), challenges many ideas on the ultimate outcome of the Christian life.

All Creatures Of Our God And King - PDF
In "All Creatures Of Our God And King", we find an English paraphrase of the "Canticle Of The Sun" by St. Francis of Assisi. St. Francis clearly delineates the difference between Creator and creation while, in an almost unspoken sense, emphasizes the sheer grace of God in all things.
