  • Sound the Alarm: Palm Sunday, Nehemiah, and a Call to Community

    The people lining the road into Jerusalem on Palm Sunday weren’t just being festive—they were desperate.

  • Rediscovering Christmas: Hope in the Darkness

    Christmas is often portrayed as a season of perfection—gleaming decorations, endless laughter, and tables overflowing with food. But for many, this image feels far removed from reality. If you’re carrying grief, loneliness, or the weight of loss, the holidays can feel more like a struggle than a celebration. The true heart of Christmas, though, isn’t…

  • The Urgency of Advent: Make Way for Change

    Advent is more than a season of twinkling lights and nostalgic carols; it’s a call to action. Both Malachi and John the Baptist remind us that the message of “Prepare the way!” is not optional—it’s urgent. In a world overwhelmed by chaos and doubt, the Gospel is often dismissed as a comforting but nonessential luxury,…
