Jesus’s Message for Turbulent Times

“Christians need not despair,” writes Summerlee Staten, “God’s word for us is eternal — the pinprick of light before and beyond the coming storm. When we keep our eyes on that light . . . we see beyond the darkness, guarding a future not fully known to us, and yet already held by God.”

Scripture Reflection: What We Gain by Letting Go

What does it mean to follow Jesus’s example and lay down our lives? Trinity’s Faith Formation team suggests “it’s in letting go of power, the endless work of protecting ourselves at the expense of others, that we find true freedom — our deepest wants and needs met in community.”

Scripture Reflection: Not the End of the Story

“Death isn’t a secret or surprise for any of us, even Jesus. In fact, it’s an essential part of being alive. But when we spend our time and energy fighting the inevitable, we lose sight of the life happening right in front of us.” Trinity’s Faith Formation team digs into Sunday’s scripture reading from Mark’s Gospel and considers a paradox of the Christian faith: The path to wholeness, purpose, and connection is through surrender.

Down from the Mountaintop

”This is how mountaintop experiences — epiphanies and revelations that open our minds to new realities — change us,” writes Summerlee Staten, reflecting on Jesus's transfiguration. ”We come to understand the mystery of God in a new way, and by comparison the miracles we experienced before seem ordinary.”
