From now through Pentecost, we’ll be focusing on how our faith is a living faith - it is a living part of us. Like our cells as the near-infinite microbiome that makes up our bodies, our faith grows, shifts, changes, and responds to circumstances. When we nurture our faith, we cooperate with the Spirit’s calling to us. When we nurture our faith, we grow to desire God and God’s will above anything else. 

He's Not Here

“He is not here, he has been raised.” I can’t even imagine what it felt like to see that empty tomb, the spot where their friend’s body should have been, and have it confirmed by a mysterious stranger that Jesus is indeed not there. The women weren’t left with only the mystery - they were told that Jesus had gone ahead to Galilee, where he did so many miracles while he was alive.

​

We too may not find Jesus where we expect, but we can trust that he is still going before us, making ways, anticipating our arrival, and planning what we can do together when we get there.
