Follow Me

At Jesus' baptism, the evidence of God's presence couldn't be clearer: a voice from heaven announcing "This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased."

George Washington quoted Scripture frequently, and he quoted from the prophet Micah more than any other Biblical author. Looking ahead to God's preferred future, Micah envisions that "everyone will sit under their own vine and fig tree, and no one will make them afraid." Is it possible for us to live into this vision?

Flesh and Blood

Dr. Nancy Heisey explores the letter to the Ephesians, and God's desire to invite real flesh and blood human beings into the common good.
