The Walk to Emmaus

Pastor's blogLeave a comment

Dear church,

The Walk to Emmaus is one of my favorite Bible stories because it feels so deeply human. Two grieving disciples walk the road weighed down by disappointment, and Jesus comes alongside them before they even know it is him, opening the scriptures, sharing the meal, and turning their sorrow toward hope. It is a beautiful reminder that the risen Christ still meets us on ordinary roads and makes himself known in word, companionship, and the breaking of the bread.

See you in worship,

Creation Covenant Redemption

Pastor's blogLeave a comment

Dear church,

During the Easter season, many congregations are accustomed to hearing readings from Acts in place of the Old Testament. But more recent liturgical reflection has encouraged the church not to lose the rich witness of the Hebrew Scriptures during these weeks. Because the theology of resurrection is deeply rooted in God’s work of creation, covenant, and redemption, hearing these readings in Easter helps deepen the church’s proclamation of new life. These Old Testament readings are chosen to stand alongside the Gospel, not as predictions to be “fulfilled,” but as scriptures that can shed light on the risen Christ and the living hope of Easter. Listen in!

See you in worship,
Pastor Kyle
