The Surprising Doorway: How the Beatitudes Open the Law of Christ
I didn’t meet the Beatitudes in a classroom. I met them in a waiting room — at Harborview, with a woman holding a paper cup like it was the only warm thing left in her life.

Love’s fruit is the fullness of Christ formed over a lifetime — and what Mr. Alvarez left behind at his bedside. The series closes here.
Love’s Community: How Love Shapes the Church
Love’s community is gathered to be sent. Through Robert, a park bench, and the New Testament’s vision of the church, discover what love builds.
