If you’ve ever been to a Waffle House, you know it’s a place where all kinds of people gather—early risers, late-night travelers, locals, strangers, and friends. And no matter whether you like your hashbrowns scattered, covered, or smothered, there’s always a seat at the counter and hot coffee waiting. This week’s scripture tells the story of Jesus calling Matthew—a tax collector—and sharing a meal with an unexpected crowd. Much like that diner booth, the table Jesus sets is open to everyone. As...

This week’s scripture paints a picture of two builders—one who builds on rock, and one on sand. It invites us to consider what gives stability and direction to our lives.

Easter morning often begins with familiar traditions—colorful baskets, joyful egg hunts, matching dresses and bowties, family photos in front of the cross draped in white or beautiful flowers. These small rituals help us mark the day as special, a celebration unlike any other. But beyond the lilies and the lace, Easter speaks to something deeper. It speaks to broken hearts and grieving souls. To long Good Fridays and quiet Saturdays. To the hope we’re not always sure we believe in. In John’s Gos...

So where do we stand when the noise of the crowd grows loud? Do we follow faithfully, or do we fade into the background? As we...
