Expectations VS Reality
Monday Oct 02, 2023
Monday Oct 02, 2023
(Natalia Terfa) The Israelites are not having a good time, and they would like to make sure God knows about it. I find their grumbling very relatable. What might today’s story of the people of God have to teach us about our own feelings when things don’t go quite the way we want?

The Unfairness of Grace
Monday Sep 25, 2023
Monday Sep 25, 2023
(Natalia Terfa) When we hear someone, usually a child, say the words - “But it’s not fair!” - What is our typical response? “Life isn’t fair!” What a harsh and hard lesson to learn at any age. No matter how hard we try or earn or think we deserve something - sometimes life just doesn’t go the way we want it to. Today’s Gospel is this same lesson - told in parable form - for an audience that was struggling with this same concept.

Two or More

(Natalia Terfa) It’s fall kick-off, and while the lectionary doesn’t follow the school year calendar, it feels like it today. In the Gospel today Jesus addresses some questions about what it means to be church - and how we can be church together, While a lot has changed since Jesus answered these questions, much of what he says can be applied to our own congregation today.

Opposite Day
Monday Sep 04, 2023
Monday Sep 04, 2023
(Chad Brekke) Peter had different ideas about what it means to call Jesus the Messiah. It’s not about power and control and ruling and victory. It’s more about serving, giving, blessing, and hospitality. So when it comes to Paul’s advice to the church, it’s always Opposite Day!

The God Who Sees

Monday Aug 28, 2023
(Natalia Terfa) Welcome to the Natalia Terfa lectionary. We’re in a text today that is never included, not once, in our three-year lectionary cycle. But, as I come back from three months away, I want to talk about Hagar today, and how significant she is, and how much it matters that she names God for all of us.

Where You Stand
Monday Aug 21, 2023
Monday Aug 21, 2023
(Chad Brekke) The woman we meet in the gospel today had no business believing that Jesus would bother to help her in her time of need. Remember that humiliated woman who snuck up behind Jesus just to reach out and touch the hem of his garment? Yeah, this is not that woman! The Canaanite woman we meet today demands a blessing. The disciples are so annoyed they ask Jesus to send her away. But Jesus sees something in this foreign woman in need, something he has been searching for. Something he wants you to have as well.

Rational Fear
Monday Aug 14, 2023
Monday Aug 14, 2023
(Chad Brekke) Let’s say you think you see Jesus coming and are allowed to ask only one question to verify that it is the Lord. What question would you ask? Well, this scenario is just what we have in front of us today and you won’t believe the question chosen. It may have been the last question that would have come to my mind. That is before I saw what happened next!

For All Who Thirst
Monday Aug 07, 2023
Monday Aug 07, 2023
(Angela Denker) In a culture that often shames those who are in need, Jesus calls to all of us who thirst and hunger - reminding us that as we acknowledge our own need, we’re offered in return abundance and community and opportunities to share.
