The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end of the world, and when Christ comes for us at the end of our individual worlds, at death.
Our Gospel from St. Luke today is a little unsettling. Not very Christmasy. Unseasonal thoughts about the end of the world. Yet, the word Advent from the Latin, adventus, means “coming.” The Church tells the Christmas Story backwards: the focus is to prepare for the coming of the Lord: at the end ...read more

What is the biggest message in prophecy? Is it prediction addiction, figuring out times and dates and personalities? Is it to simply be alert? Let's find out in 1 Thessalonians 5.
A church that is a joy to be around is still far from perfect. We all fail in some things. There is always room to grow in Christ. When it comes to prophecy, should we get caught up in conspiracy theories and setting dates? Should we rather always be alert and awake? Let’s find out in 1 ...read more

Jesus actions in the temple demonstrate that we have a responsibility to reach out and not just to make things comfortable for ourselves.

How does a loving Jesus, who goes around teaching good morals, fit with this violent figure who disrupts a market place, stops temple worship and causes chaos. If ...read more
