Which takes more work: caring or being careless? God's creation is entrusted to our care. The same care God has is the same care we must offer. Creation care means loving others and everything which has been created. If this is true, then the work of care will always take more time and energy. It is exactly how God cares for us.

The creation story in the Bible is filled with so much wonder and blessing. Too often, we read right past it to get to the story of the fall of Adam and Eve. Perhaps we should pause a bit longer over God's creative work and find that all we have ever needed is in Him.

The story of Jesus' resurrection is deeply moving. Jesus goes from seemingly being lost but, instead, is found victorious. Our belief in this Jesus is ever-growing as it was for those first witnesses of the resurrection. Even in our doubts, Jesus invites us to new life.

Jesus' entrance into the city of Jerusalem is cause for celebration by his followers. It is an entrance of peace which hails the soon and coming King, Jesus. Not all people welcome his arrival. The week which follows will be an unfolding of Jesus' destiny. A destiny which will set the world free from sin and evil.

We all know what commitments or duties we have. What about our devotion? More than commitment or duty, devotion invites us into something deeper. In devotion we are changed by gratitude and generosity working in the grace of God. This week we discover the power of devotion.

The Parable of the Prodigal Son (Lost Son) is one of the most well-known stories Jesus told. We should wonder why we are fixated on the "lost" son more than the forgiving father as portrayed in this story. It is a powerful story of forgiveness and grace offered to those who welcome it and even resist it.

All of us wonder why things happen the way they do. Sometimes it is about something that creates joy and wonder while, at other moments, it is pain or grief. Trying to know "why" is hard work. Perhaps there is a different way to live where God's Spirit provides all we need.

We live in one of the most polarizing times in recent memory. We argue about politics, religion, relationships, and so much more. What matters most in these times when we are pushed and pulled by so many? This week's episode opens us up to a new way of being followers of Jesus in a polarized age.
