What if we imagine the stories of Jesus as if they happened today? This week, we take a closer look at one of Jesus' well-known feeding stories, as told in John's Gospel, the feeding of the 5,000.

Once more, we return to 2 Samuel to guide our learning this week. Alongside this story of David, we look at a passage from the prophet Jeremiah, a couple psalms, a passage from Ephesians 2, and a section of Mark's gospel to consider how God desires to use his leaders—his shepherds, his prophets, his apostles, his teachers—to care for his people.…

This weekend, our friend and Impact Campus Minister, Mitch Lavender, invites us to take a closer look at King David's story as shared in 2 Samuel.

This week we kick off our summer journey through the weekly lectionary passages, beginning with Paul's words to the church in Corinth.

This week, we look at a story from Acts 10/11 to explore the role experience plays in helping us know (1) how to form our faith, and (2) how to live our beliefs as contemporary followers of Jesus in the world today. Tune in as we round out our 3-part series on the Wesleyan Quadrilateral.Jeremiah Johnson

Why do we believe what we believe? How do we live because of what we believe? Jeremiah leads us in a teaching, looking at two stories from Acts, to explore how "reason" plays a role in the development of our faith, and our engagement with the world around us.Jeremiah Johnson

How do we live as Christians in our contemporary world—amid the rapid change, complexities, and cultural forces of our time and place?

On Trinity Sunday, Jeremiah seeks to help us understand the relationship between Father, Son, and Holy Spirit—a relationship the church has been trying to comprehend for centuries. How might reckoning with the mystery of the Trinity deepen our discipleship? Listen in...Jeremiah Johnson

God moves when God's people come together. God moves when God's people wait. God moves when God's people surrender to the Spirit's movement. The Spirit's movement unites the unlikeliest of characters—living stones built-up together in God's house.Daniel Hickman
  continue reading
 
What's possible when we open ourselves to the leading of the Spirit as we engage the Scriptures? Anything! Everything. More than we can imagine. In today's sermon, Megan tells some stories, and shares what she's learning when it comes to engaging the Spirit in the reading of Scripture, and invites us to consider some practices we might explore to h…

Are there different kinds of truths? Are all facts truthful, all truths factual? How do you communicate truth that can only be seen through the eyes of the heart? In true Marty fashion, we ask questions, seeking to fill our toolbox with a few more tools for engaging the bible well.Marty Solomon
  continue reading
 
Today, Marty invites us to consider how we posture ourselves towards the bible, suggesting that “asking better questions of the bible,” is one way we mature in our discipleship. Marty touches on many themes including: why it’s important to understand the bible as a singular, cohesive narrative; the differences between the bible’s distinct sections …
  continue reading
 
In order to understand the bible well, apply the bible well, engage the bible well, and utilize the bible well, the bible must be (scary word) “interpreted.” In this second teaching in our, “How We Read the Bible” series, Jeremiah invites us to look closer at how we draw meaning from this collection of ancient voices—that which comes from the Spiri…

A final reflection on Lamentations, guided by Marty Solomon. What needs to die in us? Who might we need to walk with in solidarity through suffering? What new perspective is God showing us? Can we embrace the dying and trust the new life to follow? Let us hope.Marty Solomon
  continue reading
 
We “round the corner” in our 5-part series through Lamentations and ask: is there any hope? Might the circumstances we suffer, the situations that bring us sorrow, the realities that leave us anguished bring us closer to new life? So it was for Jesus. So it might be for us?Megan Trischler
  continue reading
 
The poetry of Lamentations invites us into “the tensive interplay of unresolvable, open dialogue”—with affliction, with grief, with persistent suffering. In week three of our Lamentations series, Katie asks us to consider the role unanswerable questions, incomplete answers, and the more complex aspects of human experience play in our formation into…
  continue reading
 
Lament is a physical and embodied expression of grief, based on the recognition that things are not as they should be. When we take our pain to God, we proclaim hope—to ourselves and to our communities—that we believe things will change. Today, we continue our series through Lamentations, looking to faithful followers of the past to learn how to pr…

To “lament” is to take our sorrows before the Lord. This Lenten season, we’re working our way through the five chapters of Lamentations. Jeremiah kicks-off our series by inviting us to take a closer look at what we do when we encounter suffering—in our own lives, and in the lives of those around us.Jeremiah Johnson
  continue reading
 
Jesus brings transformation into the lives of all who encounter him, into every place he goes. Today, we look at what transpires when Jesus meets God people in three different settings: a private place, a public place, and a hidden place. As we continue our journey through Mark’s Gospel, we invite you to reflect on the ways you’ve already experienc…

Jesus comes onto the scene with power from on High. If we believe Jesus’ authority comes from God Almighty, what are we to make of his teaching? What could change in our lives, if we lived believing there is STILL power in Jesus’ name?Megan Trischler
  continue reading
 
On Christmas Eve morning, Shannon took us on a journey across the arc of scripture, and invited us to reflect in new, deeper ways on the love God has for all his people. Just what kind of love is this? We hope this re-recording of Shannon’s message blesses you as much as it did listeners who gathered on the eve of Christmas.…

Today, we continue along in Mark’s Gospel, where we see Jesus driven into wilderness; Jesus proclaiming Kingdom nearness; and Jesus calling his first disciples. What can we learn about the Good News from these three stories?Jeremiah Johnson
  continue reading
 
What can the story of the Magi, these “odd,” star-gazing wanderers, who follow a rising star to Bethlehem, teach us about God? About who God reveals himself to? About how and where God shows up? Much, for the one humble enough and curious enough to go looking.Marty Solomon
  continue reading
 
The Apostle Paul exhorts, “Rejoice always,” (1 Thessalonians 5:16) but what does this mean? And how do we do it? Daniel asks us to consider joy in the light of our Christian faith: what joy is (and isn’t); what can get in the way of experiencing joy; and how we might practice joy in ongoing, sustainable, life-giving ways.…
  continue reading
 
Before we have peace on earth, we must have peace with God. Peace with God, is the foundation of our peace with others and with ourselves. We're joined by friends from Calvary Missionary Baptist Church this morning to consider together what it means to be recipients of Christ's peace, that which surpasses understanding.…

Advent is a season of waiting. Waiting. Waiting. The challenge of Advent is learning how to let the waiting produce something beautiful in us. Perhaps, a deeper faith? Perhaps, a greater hope? This morning, Tyler weaves together the poetry of Shel Silverstein, the drama of Mark’s gospel, and parts of his own personal journey to help us hope more bo…

What does it mean to be people with sexuality? This week, we broaden our understanding of the word “sexuality,” (its more than “who can do what with whom!”) then take a closer look at Paul’s first epistle to the Thessalonians to glean what we can from the apostle’s teaching with regard to living in ways that honor God, honor ourselves, and honor on…
  continue reading
 
What does it mean to be made in the image of God? It means we are incarnational. It means we are called to vocations. It means we are made for community. It means we have sexuality. Dive into Genesis 1 & 2 with us this morning.Jeremiah Johnson
  continue reading
 
To be reconciled in the body of Christ requires us to forgive when we’ve been hurt. But how? This morning, we take a closer look at Romans 14/15 to see what we can glean from the Apostle Paul as it relates to finding unity after (and within) the experience of pain.Katie Ranum
