Thanksgiving: A time of reflection, thankfulness, and making us whole
This Thanksgiving week, we reflect on celebrations of thankfulness from the Old Testament. This helps us see how our modern Thanksgiving is part of a long tradition of setting aside a day for reflection, feasting, and thankfulness. Lastly, we explore how the actual act of being intentionally thankful can have tangible benefits for us. This week’s passage is Esther 8:20-23.

The Gospel of Matthew: Handing off that Golden Baton of Love
Gospel of Matthew: ‘You don’t know who I am! I do what I want!’
This week we continue our journey through the Gospel of Matthew by examining what Jesus says about judging. We often think of judging simply as ‘that person should not have done that!’ But what about the first impressions we form about people? How are we judging people every day and not even realizing it! We look at some examples of how we judge and what we can do to combat our tendency to judge. The main text for this week is: Matthew 7:1-6.

The Gospel of Matthew: Practices and Prayers
We continue our journey through Matthew by looking at what Jesus has to say about righteousness and prayer. The Lord’s Prayer is a passage many people know, but what is Jesus trying to relate to us through it? We break down each petition in the prayer and talk about what they mean for us in our prayer lives today. Our passage this week is: Matthew 6:5-15.
The Gospel of Matthew: Giving and Righteousness
We resume our journey through Matthew together, by jumping back into the Sermon on the Mount. Today, we examine what Jesus says about righteousness and giving. We examine the idea of intent as related to giving and explore how our giving should be reflective of the amazing gift God gave us. This week’s passage is: Matthew 6:1-4.
