Living for a Vision that will Outlast You
November 26, 2023 • Margaret Emmerson • Luke 1:1–25
After a lifetime of disappointment, Zechariah, Jesus' half-uncle, faces the choice of every aging person: whether to become a grumpy old man, stuck in his ways, unable to see any good in kids today. Can Zechariah embrace the new thing God is doing and receive the next generation as God's answer to his prayers?
Margaret challenges us to ask: is there anything you’ve started that you won’t live to finish? A society grows great when it’s old men that plant trees whose shade they will never enjoy.
How Christmas Redefines Manhood
December 3, 2023 • Michael Befus • Matthew 1
According to the gospel of Matthew, Jesus comes from a long line of failed fathers and dysfunctional families. But as the prophets predicted, God has a plan to rebuild the human family, beginning with a wild bet on one man. In the Christmas narratives, we learn that God stakes his entire plan to save the world on Joseph's willingness to lay down his his pride, his prerogatives, and his privilege to protect an (apparently) illegitimate child and unfaithful fiancé. In rising to the occasion, Joseph forever redefines what it means to be a man, and forever changes the course of human history.
