Saint Andrew’s Evangelism

November 30, 2020 By Marcus Halley Leave a Comment

Saint Andrew was a pioneer in many ways. His festival is often the first major Christian feast celebrated after the beginning of the Christian year to commemorate his status of being the “first called.”

Being Equipped by God

November 13, 2019 By Michelle Heed Leave a Comment

If there is a verse that I have preached to myself, if there is a promise that I have held onto, it is this one.  God equips us for what God calls us do in our lives. In my family, God equips us to homeschool and to care for orphans and to pray for troubled marriages.

Perception

November 4, 2019 By Mary Lee Wile Leave a Comment

“Grandma, where’s your mean picture?” asks my seven-year old grandson.“Mean” picture? Our house is full of family photos, paintings, icons – but I can’t think of any “mean” pictures.

A Picture Study on the Feast of Saint Luke

October 18, 2019 By Emily Watkins Leave a Comment

I am delighted to be celebrating the Feast day of Luke the Evangelist. You see, Luke and I have been traveling closely lately. Along with the fact that it is his turn in the lectionary, I’m also currently writing a curriculum for the families at my school studying his gospel.

Is Church Pleasurable?

February 22, 2019 By Ryan Kuratko 2 Comments

The venerable hymn “All My Hope on God Is Founded” in our Hymnal 1982 offers more than one gem in its verses, but I love looking around every time we sing the above line in a church. “Pleasure leads us where we go.”

As the detritus of Christmas surrounds us, where do we see Jesus?
