Sacrifice Of Praise

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Jun 19, 2021

The Name Above All Names At Which We Bend Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 9, 2025

The Son of God was divine already, but He thought it unfair to glom onto that identity. He became the face of the divine compassion and enduring love, God’s hesed, by emptying Himself of all His divine glory, all His divine dignity.

Palm/Passion Sunday The critical reading we are given from Scripture today is not one of the two Gospels, not the triumphant Palm Sunday story of Christ’s entry to Jerusalem and not the story of the Last Supper, Passion and death of Our Lord. No, the reading that is crucial to an understanding of ...read more

Caring And Sharing

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Feb 5, 2022

Caring enough to share our love and faith meets other people’s needs, physical and spiritual; but it also meets ours as well. Whenever we look out beyond ourselves and reach out to care and share, God delivers us from our own problems.
