Nothing Unites Like an Enemy
The world gathers people by giving them someone to hate, but the saints show another way: God makes each of us more fully ourselves and gathers us, across every difference, around the living Lamb.

Nothing Unites Like an Enemy
The world gathers people by giving them someone to hate, but the saints show another way: God makes each of us more fully ourselves and gathers us, across every difference, around the living Lamb.
A Gift Only Jesus Noticed
Our small, faithful gifts are never lost on God: he sees them, receives them as a response to his own giving, and carries them into lives and generations we may never meet.
Giving With Great Joy
Everything we hold has already been placed in our hands by God, so we are invited to loosen our grip and give, not out of obligation, but with the willing joy of people who get to share in his work.
Gifts from God
Before we ever give anything to God, God has already been giving to us, and the gifts we can name in one another’s stories ripple outward through ordinary people and point us toward the greatest gift, Jesus Christ.
What More Could God Have Done?
God, who tends his vineyard out of love and has given it everything it needs, grows the life of Christ in his people by the Spirit, so that the world might catch a glimpse of Jesus in ordinary human lives.
What Do You Think?
God's grace meets us in the truth of who we actually are, not in the flattering picture of who we intend to be, so honesty about ourselves is where grace can begin its work.
