Splagchnizomai - It's All Greek - Luke 10, Mark 1, Matthew 9

June 12, 2025 • 7 mins
The word splagchnizomai means to be deeply moved with compassion or to feel profound sympathy. Literally, it refers to the bowels yearning—a phrase that might not resonate as clearly today. A more relatable way to express it might be "moved to your core" or "having your heart stirred." Let's dig into this.

Pneuma - It's All Greek - 2 Timothy 1, John 3, John 20, Romans 8

June 11, 2025 • 7 mins
Last fall in the Pacific Northwest, we were hit with what was called a "bomb cyclone", which is a "rapidly intensifying mid-latitude cyclone characterized by a significant drop in atmospheric pressure." Today, we're looking at the Greek word, "pneuma", which means breath or wind, but often implied a force you couldn't see.

Charis - It's All Greek - John 1, Ephesians 2, Titus 2

June 10, 2025 • 8 mins
"Charis" is linked to gratitude and is sometimes translated that way—a thankfulness sparked by favor or kindness. It shares the same root as "eucharisteo," which means to give thanks or be thankful.

Logos - It's All Greek - John 1, Hebrews 4, Colossians 3

June 9, 2025 • 8 mins
This week, we're exploring the richness of words in Scripture—especially in their original context. Familiar verses can reveal new depth when we look closely at their language. My hope is that this brings fresh insight, like seeing them in colors we've never noticed before.

The Vine - He Is - John 15

June 6, 2025 • 8 mins
Sometimes the simplest stories leave the most lasting impression. Jesus used a similar technique when he spoke to his followers. Jesus uses common, everyday imagery--one more sign that He made the Gospel accessible enough for people to relate to if they seek Him. Jesus wants to be found and to connect with us. He's not trying to make it difficult. This in itself is contrasting to the Pharisees.

The Way, the Truth, and the Life - He Is - John 14

June 5, 2025 • 9 mins
They say "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery," but honestly most of the time imitation is just so very funny... When comedians imitate others, or when our kids imitate us!  Jesus wasn't just imitating his Father though--Jesus was the same as His Father, and this is crucial for us to know in terms of our relationship with God.

The Resurrection and the Life - He Is - John 11

June 4, 2025 • 8 mins
Have you ever laughed at the wrong moment? Like when things were too serious or awkward or sad? It gets uncomfortable and you make a faux pas. It almost seems like Jesus makes several faux pas in the situation of the death of his friend Lazarus. Let me tell you about it.

The Gate and the Good Shepherd - He Is - John 10

Entrance ways are significant. They can be welcoming or intimidating, distinctive or hidden. It's a way through, and those who belong enter confidently. They know the way. Those who don’t belong there get in the wrong way. Jesus talks about being an entrance. What kind was He?

The Light of the World - He Is - John 1, 8, 9

June 2, 2025 • 8 mins
Lately, I've been starting to realize that God sets us apart in Christ to reflect Him and be different from the world - in humility, in love, in serving others. Not so much about my reputation, how I look, but how I see and care for others. So, this week we're digging into who God Is.

Unleavened - In Remembrance - 1 Corinthians 5

May 30, 2025 • 7 mins
Small things can make a big difference. The Bible talks about this often: the seed of faith that moves mountains, or how a spark can become a great fire. Which leads us to leaven today. Leaven, or yeast, causes dough to rise by producing gas bubbles like carbon dioxide, and it only takes a little to work. Let's knead this a bit more!

Feasts and Freedoms - In Remembrance - 1 Corinthians 10

May 29, 2025 • 7 mins
Something I love about God is that feasts and banquets and celebrations were meant to be an ongoing part of our faith journey, out of remembrance and honor and praise. That's what the Lord's Supper continues to be.

A Worthy Manner - In Remembrance - 1 Corinthians 11

Paul is serious about the practice of observing the Lord's Supper, saying it does more harm than good when we participate in the wrong way. In this example, what's he concerned about?

Bread of Life - In Remembrance - John 6

May 27, 2025 • 7 mins
Today we're talking about a time when Jesus had performed a miracle, and so people came back for more miracles - missing the point of who Jesus was. Today, we can look at what God's done in our lives and let those things draw us nearer to our Creator, and deepen our belief.

The Lord's Supper - In Remembrance - Luke 22

May 26, 2025 • 7 mins
Remembrance is so important. We need to remember where we've been and those who have come before us, those who have sacrificed for us. When I was reflecting on this, I thought of how Jesus asked us to remember Him. Jesus also made the ultimate sacrifice, fighting a spiritual battle, and died for our freedom to be whole, restored, and reconciled with God.

This week we'll be discussing the topic of the Lord's Supper, or communion--wha...

No Boundaries Grace - Atrocious Math - Luke 10

May 23, 2025 • 7 mins
As we finish up our study on "atrocious math" or God's abundant, generous grace that goes beyond our transactional society, today we're talking about how one person went beyond limits and boundaries set by society to maybe "foolishly" or "wastefully" take care of someone outside his social circle.

Foolish Grace - Atrocious Math - Matthew 13

May 22, 2025 • 7 mins
Abundant grace can feel too extravagant because our society is transactional and capitalistic (at least in the US), and we believe you get what you earn. But God's math looks different than ours, and God's grace operates outside of earning, striving, and proving.

Offensive Grace - Atrocious Math - Matthew 20

May 19, 2025 • 8 mins
This week we're going to talk about the one thing God might be "bad" at... God is good all the time. God knows all things, is all powerful, is able to do anything, is unconditional and absolutely faithful. But sometimes in scripture, the math doesn't quite math.  Is God "bad" at mathematics? Stay with me.
