Trouble With Strangers - 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 37:46

Play Pause

1d ago37:46

37:46

The Apostle Paul uses the metaphor of a body to describe the church. In the Roman world, this metaphor reinforced hierarchy—some parts were “more important” than others. Paul flips this: every member is indispensable, and the “weaker” members are given special honor. The church, Bonhoeffer reminds us, is “Christ existing as community.” We represent…

Trouble With Strangers - Ephesians 2:13-22 35:21

8d ago35:21

35:21

We live in a world where belonging is both deeply longed for and painfully difficult. Political divides, cultural differences, personal wounds, and busy schedules all work against community. And yet, research and Scripture agree: we flourish when we belong. Paul writes to the Ephesian church, a community divided by culture, tradition, and class, to…

Cosmic Thoughts - Colossians 4:2-1 36:39

16d ago36:39

36:39

In the book of Colossians, the Apostle Paul gives us a cosmic vision of Christ—Creator, Sustainer, and Reconciler of everything. Colossians is filled with big ideas and wondrous descriptions. But Paul’s theology isn’t just big ideas or idle theories, it's also deeply practical, both cosmic and grounded––expanding our imaginations and at the same ti…

Cosmic Thoughts - Colossians 3:1-4:1 38:13

1M ago38:13

38:13

Paul and Timothy’s letter to the Colossians moves between the biggest, boldest thoughts about God and the very ordinary realities of daily life. This week, we explore how cosmic truths—Christ’s victory, reconciliation, and kingdom—crash into everyday spaces like relationships, households, and work. The theme for this week is tension: The tension of…

Cosmic Thoughts - Colossians 1:24-2:23 30:38

1M ago30:38

30:38

In this part of Colossians, Paul moves between the cosmic and the everyday—from grand visions of Christ as the center of all things to the ordinary details of life. He reminds the Colossians that everything we believe about God shapes how we live. But Paul also warns that there are competing stories, powers, and philosophies that try to pull us awa…

Cosmic Thoughts - Colossians 1:1-23 39:01

1M ago39:01

39:01

This week begins our new series, Cosmic Thoughts for Everyday Life, where we explore how the vast, sweeping truths about Christ connect directly to the smallest details of our daily living. Paul’s letter to the Colossians moves between cosmic-scale theology—Christ as the center of creation, redemption, and the future—and very practical issues like …

Jonah 4: Great Rage 40:12

2M ago40:12

40:12

The book of Jonah is a strange tale that you probably remember from Sunday School. It’s got a big whale, a rebellious prophet, a tree eating worm, and a repentant Nineveh. These features make Jonah perfect for the screen but a bit hard to understand as scripture. Should we read Jonah like any other prophet or is it a parable? That strange ambiguity…

Jonah 1:5-16 Great Storm 27:30

2M ago27:30

27:30

The book of Jonah is more than a story about a reluctant prophet and a big fish—it’s a literary masterpiece rich with irony, symbolism, personification, and foreshadowing. In this week’s message, Abby invited us to read Jonah not just for its literal details, but for the deeper truths it conveys about the heart of God. Through the storm narrative i…

Reckless? - Future 37:57

3M ago37:57

37:57

This week we conclude our series Reckless?, exploring the bold, relational, and non-coercive love of God. Today’s focus is the tension between suffering and hope, control and trust, certainty and identity. Romans 8 reminds us that even in the groaning of creation, the ache of uncertainty, and the absence of easy answers, God is with us. Not through…

Reckless? - Vulnerable Love 38:10

3M ago38:10

38:10

This week in our Reckless? series, we explore a powerful and surprising truth: God's love is vulnerable. While vulnerability might seem weak or unsafe, the story of Jesus reveals a God who does not grasp at power or rule from a distance, but who gives, descends, and draws near—even to the point of suffering. Paul’s hymn in Philippians 2 invites us …

Reckless? - Trinity Sunday 26:11

3M ago26:11

26:11

On Trinity Sunday—and Father’s Day—we reflect on what it means to say “God is love.” This week, we explored the idea of God’s love being “reckless”—not in a careless way, but in a bold, self-giving, audacious way that risks for the sake of relationship. The Trinity shows us that God is not an isolated being but a community—Father, Son, and Spirit—d…

Easter 2025 34:29

On this Easter Sunday, we reflect on the story of two disciples walking the road to Emmaus—grieving, confused, and unsure if hope has truly come. Through their journey, we discover that Jesus meets us in our unraveling, walks with us at the speed of love, and reveals himself not through quick fixes or perfect answers, but through presence, patience…

Portraits of a King - Palm Sunday 38:26

5M ago38:26

38:26

On Palm Sunday, we remember Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem—a moment of celebration, hope, and political tension. The crowd celebrates, expecting victory. The Pharisees fear conflict. But Jesus weeps, knowing that neither group fully understands the kind of King he is—or the kind of peace he brings. His kingdom is not won through force but th…

Portraits of a King - Jesus Serves 33:01

6M ago33:01

33:01

As we continue our Lenten journey toward Easter, we turn our attention to a striking portrait of Jesus in John 13—kneeling, apron-clad, and washing the feet of his disciples. This is no ordinary act of hospitality. It’s a profound disruption of social norms, a voluntary reversal of power and status, and a love-soaked redefinition of leadership and …

Portraits of a King - A Barren Temple 33:37

6M ago33:37

33:37

After Jesus’ triumphal entry into Jerusalem, he observes the temple but does nothing—yet. The next day, he curses a fig tree that has no fruit, even though it is not the season for figs. Then, he enters the temple and overturns tables, condemning it as a "den of thieves." The following morning, the disciples find the fig tree withered, and Jesus te…

The Transfiguration is a pivotal moment in the life of Jesus, revealing his divine identity to his disciples in a dramatic way.

This moment marks a turning point in his journey toward the cross and challenges the …

Stories reveal who someone truly is. If we want to know what Jesus is like, we don’t just rely on facts—we look at the stories about him. This Lent, we are exploring six stories that reveal what kind of king Jesus is. Our first story, the temptation of Jesus in the wilderness, shows us how he chooses to rule—not through power, performance, or contr…

Throughout this series, we've explored the vision of extending our table—how God calls us into unexpected places and welcomes unexpected people.

In this guide, we will reflect on how Jesus models tabl…

This week we explore how an obsession with efficiency can hinder wholeness and following the way of Jesus. While efficiency—the ability to maximize outputs with minimal inputs—can be a valuable tool, it becomes problematic when applied to every aspect of life. Instead of alleviating anxiety and creating space, an obsession with efficiency often mag…

In Unseen Spaces - Ruth 31:42

31:42

There are certain characters in the Bible with bigger than life stories. People like Moses who led the Israelites out of Egypt, or David who became king, or Elijah who was a wild and honestly very strange prophet. These stories are captivating and inspiring, but they are also marked by seasons of mundanity, isolation, & wilderness and it’s in these…
