The mystery of Resurrection is first announced in a garden. From barren, stone-sealed shadowy tomb, into loamy, breeze-breathed, sun-dappled soil bursting with life, Easter interrupts deathly endings with new-day budding potential. This mysterious way of Jesus is meant to open us to new-creation stories, habits and belonging that bring our truest, God-breathed selves into fully- formed being.

This sermon series will explore the way of Jesus through the lens of formation. After building a foundations of how narratives, practices, and community rhythms deepen us into new ways of being, we’ll turn to explore the classical disciplines that have opened Eastertide living throughout the ages, bringing these ancient tools into our modern setting. Each week will invite us into practical ways of inhabiting the Resurrection mystery and finding new creation already blooming among us.

Wilderness Reflections: David Khalaf

Lent is a season to intentionally face suffering, which is part of every human experience. Such intention is necessary because suffering is difficult. And yet, part of being Christian is to follow after Jesus who willingly participated in the shadows, in the decaying, and in the death. With this in mind, this sermon series intends to notice and to celebrate the surprising good—not easy but good—that springs up out of the darkness.

This week’s reflection is from Oversight Team member David Khalaf.
