How far does God’s love go? The story of Hosea is one that helps us scratch the surface of answering that question, and in doing so, offers a picture of the power of God’s pure love.

Gideon’s story, reflecting the whole of the book of Judges, calls us to question how our identity plays a part in navigating the variety of the circumstances of life.

We close our Exploring Faith series with a story in which Jesus invites even his closest followers to consider the depth of their faith and be nourished by the Bread of Life.

It seems so easy to let our differences divide us. We feel comfort in surrounding ourselves with similar opinons, looks, backgrounds, and abilities to ours.

The Advent season reminds us of the coming of a brilliant light that meets us in our darkness. This source of hope, Jesus, offers us presence and wisdom in a way that brings powerful healing and restoration.
