​Pastor Dave reminds us how quick we are to judge, even with incomplete information. We see what we expect to see, so we will only see God if we expect to see God. Easter is not a commemoration of a past event, but a celebration of what God is doing now. We are called to be an Easter people, who see the power of God at work in the world, among us, within us, and through us.

​Out of the depths we cry to you, God. Rev. Stina Miller explores the parable of the Prodigal Son. Do you see yourself in one of the figures in the parable? God's indiscriminate prodigal grace does not operate based on merit or just desserts; grace is simply grace, lavishly and lovingly offered.

​Pastor Dave discusses Jesus' lamentation over Jerusalem, a reminder that God responds to our failures and stumbles with lament, not condemnation. In our worst moments, we are given the opportunity for new life.

​Pastor Dave begins Lent by talking about Jesus' temptation in the wilderness, and the idea that self-centeredness is at the root of sin, and it often keeps us from becoming the people we are called to be.
