Epiphany V: Disturbance on Solomon’s Porch

On a stone porch, a Black man in saffron robes sits beside an older white man with a beard, who holds a leafless branch.

At Solomon’s Porch, an unexpected bloom appears on a leafless branch — the restoration of one long crippled. How can this be? And how can such a fragile miracle be protected without being silenced?

Epiphany IV: Peter’s Speech

A single red rose blooming in deep snow.

At Solomon’s Colonnade, an unexpected bloom appears — the restoration of one long crippled. Peter makes clear this did not happen by his power or John’s alone, but through an ancient love, wounded yet never destroyed.

Epiphany II: Jesus the Gate

In the season of Epiphany, Scripture invites us to pause and recognize what has come into view. At the Beautiful Gate, Peter gives what he has in the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth and takes the hand of one born unable to walk, opening the way forward into life ever after.
