Sermon Snippet:Rev1:4-8 we often transform the humble cross-bearing king into a tyrant king waiting to make those who pierced him wail. Christ the King is still who we met in Nazareth. Wailing comes as we look into his merciful face and finally see ourselves clearly. Kindness leads to repentance.

Sermon Snippet: Mark 13. No matter how immovable a system appears, it can be toppled. Even if we quite like the temple, it still must go. Our role is to be patient, living faithfully according to the rhythm of an alternative Kingdom. Because in Christ, all our 'ends' are really just new beginnings.
Ginkgos are spectacularly on the turn rn: gold-on-blue above, chrome-yellow fallen fans below.
Ginkgo biloba is a profoundly ancient species.
The group of trees it belongs to pre-dates the dinosaurs.
These trees watched us arrive—and they will watch us leave.
