Valuing the Kingdom of Heaven

Preaching
Repentance, Forgiveness, and Transfiguration
Repentance and forgiveness in Christianity are not what we commonly see. For us, they are hard work that leads to the beauty of a transfigured life.

A Sacred Trust
Each of us has God-given gifts. Not because we have somehow earned them, but because God has trusted us with them for the good of all. How can we make each moment an offering of praise to God?
A Holy Scandal, Indeed
The kingdom of heaven is like many things in Matthew's telling of the Gospel. But it is always a scandal. By human standards, at least.
