What false thinking pattern is too easy for you to lean into? Pay attention that. The thing you ignore has the potential to take...

EC ArchivesMan down (1)When temptation comes, we need to think about two things: Now & Later. In this message centered around men & Father's Day, we looked at two brothers: Jacob & Esau. One decision in the now caused a huge effect in the later. There’s more going on behind the scenes than you may realize. You are being studied and cultivated for a fall that will leave a wake of destruction.

EC ArchivesRoad 2 Faith: (6) Jordan PopeJordan Pope delivered this message on Genesis 19. A life of faith is a rescue mission for others against the effects of sin. Sin will always lead to destruction. Sin must be hated. Why don’t we run from sin? For many of us it’s because we don’t really mind it. A characteristic of the believer in Christ is to hate sin and love what is good.

Sacred Things After MidnightSt Blaise, Resurrection of a girl, Absalom, and "bad hair days"“Maybe nothing ever happens once and is finished.” Perhaps William Faulkner’s line from the novel "Absalom, Absalom" unsettles the assumption that death is an absolute end, opening a space where interruption is possible? In today’s Gospel reading from Mark, Jesus enters that very space, refusing the finality pronounced over Jairus’s daughter and calling her back to life. What the mourners see as finished, Christ names as sleep, revealing a God for whom endings are never beyond recall.Absalom, son of King David, was beloved for his beauty and charisma, yet consumed b...
