    Come, O Wisdom!
    This Sunday we're starting Advent, the season which most closely reflects the posture of the entire Christian life. We are people who live "in between" - between the first and second comings of Jesus, between the promise made and the promise fulfilled, between grace and shalom. Advent is a training ground for our entire life in Christ.

    Keep Open House
    Next Sunday we will dive more deeply into the two key metaphors Jesus employs in this teaching: salt and light. But this Sunday, we'll focus on verse 15: “In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”
