Faith, Hope, Love

October 15, 2023 - November 26, 2023

For the last season of the liturgical year, we’ll spend time contemplating the great triad of Christian virtues: faith, hope, and love. Based on the classic text that groups them together (1 Corinthians 13), we’ll address a variety of scriptures that draw our attention to one or two or even all three virtues.

Jehovah Jireh. We begin with the prototypical story of our ancestors’ faith: Abraham’s trust that God will fulfill God’s promises, even as God asks for the relinquishment of the promise’s fulfillment.

All You Need is Love. What does love require of us, actually?

Let Justice Roll Down Like Waters. How do we hold onto hope for justice, as we regularly see those in power “push away the needy in the gate”? How do we hold faith through the injustice? What is our hope?

Two Surprising Things about Faith. 1. The saving faith we require is not our own; it is Jesus’s faith. 2. The faith we long for is a gift of the Spirit, and held communally.

The Thing With Feathers. The greatest may be love, but the most fragile is hope: “the active expectation that God will transform the world.” If the church is a learning lab for love, it is also a catalyst for hope – because what we do in here defies expectations, pulls some of God’s future into the present. Not just because we’re nice to each other, but because lives are being transformed.

Christ the King Sunday. What if, on the last liturgical day before Advent (and the new year), we reflected on Jesus, our exemplar of faith, hope, and love?
