Pastor Timothy on Matthew 3:1-12, John the Baptist’s call to repentance. A queer-Christian reading of the prophet’s voice in the wilderness: ‘come out’ — out of hiding, out of self-denial, out of the closet — ‘for the Kingdom of Heaven is near.’ The reign of God begins where we step into honesty.

Rev. Phyllis Wong on Luke 15 — the parable of the prodigal son. Who, really, is the prodigal? The younger son who left, the older brother who stayed in resentment, or perhaps the father who runs out to embrace them both? A reading that invites us to see ourselves in each of the three.

Jason Ho on Mark 4:26-32 — the parables of the growing seed and the mustard seed. Every believer is a seed created by God — small, planted in the earth, growing in ways the gardener does not entirely see. Trust the growth.
