Jesus and the Widow

June 1/2

So busy looking for Jesus in expected places and spaces, we often overlook when He shows up in our everyday, ordinary routines. And when He does, He’s more than aware of our attitudes, motives and heart’s desires.

Jesus and the Leper

June 8/9

Shunned. Avoided. Isolated. And the one thing you never did was touch them. Yet not only did Jesus heal him, He touched him. What does an encounter with God offer? Compassion. Kindness. Inclusion.

Jesus and the Man at the Pool

June 15/16

Sometimes it all seems so unfair. Why them and not us? Why you and not me? When Jesus came face to face with this man and miraculously met his need, others were left pondering the very same questions.

Jesus and the Adulteress

June 22/23

We don’t deserve grace. We don’t deserve forgiveness. We don’t deserve another chance. Yet Jesus shows up and in spite of what we’ve done and who we are, that’s exactly what He offers us.

Jesus and the Young Ruler

June 29/30

Are we too busy to recognize encounters with Jesus? Does the amount of stuff cluttering our lives hinder us from choosing a life-changing connection with God over everything else?
