September 20, 2026 "Being People Who Change Our Minds" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Jesus is challenged by the authorities, "Who do you think you are? By what authority are you doing these things?" What things is Jesus doing? I'll give some background: it's the Monday of Holy Week. He's led a protest parade. Exciting! Crowds love it. Then he goes into the temple and clears things out; he's protesting the system of exploitation that keeps the poor out. Then he goes out into the outer courts and heals the people who couldn't get in. Next, he curses a fig tree that doesn't bear an
September 13, 2026 "Forgiveness: Release A Debt" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Forgiveness is central to the message of Jesus, but Peter wants to know how much forgiveness that is. Is there a limit to grace? Jesus says, "Seventy-seven times."

August 30, 2026 "We Must Not Pretend To Love" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paul says these things are good and right and true and beautiful. They sound simple...until we try to do them. The church in Rome was the location this letter was headed, and Paul was writing to a deeply divided church. So where are we in the letter? We're about three quarters of the way through. The first part of the letter is filled with all sorts of theology: sin, grace, mercy, Jesus, life, death, atonement, reconciliation. Theology that is deeply beautiful. Then we get to chapter 12; he says
August 23, 2026 "Compassion As Resistance" (opens the original)
Read excerpt
This is the story of the beginning of the book of Exodus. It is one of our primal stories, a foundational one. So first, let's walk slowly through a retelling of the story and I'll comment along the way. Pharaoh has all the power. Yet he's afraid of people who have no power. He does what fearful people with power often do. Fear turns into policy, suspicion turns into laws of the land. He enslaves them, he uses them, and yet they continue to grow larger in number. So he orders that all newborn ma
