Weekday Wrestling - Episode 3
Join us as we continue to wrestle with Luke 10:1-20 and our sending out as messengers of the Kingdom of God, as evangelists.
As we enter into this Decade of Evangelism in our diocese we wrestle first with the question, "What is evangelism?" and then we turn to the Scripture and wrestle with our own sending into the world as lambs among wolves.
Weekday Wrestling - Episode 2
Join us as we wrestle with Luke 10:1-20 and the call to be the Church.
"We find in Galilee a people seeking their own self interest in the fruits of the Kingdom but unwilling to live as people of the Kingdom; unwilling to allow their way of knowing the world to be transformed by the very presence of God among them; they judge Jesus against their own image of God rather than allowing Jesus to shape and correct their way of knowing God."
How do we respond when we find this same blindness in ourselves and in our churches? What do we do when we find ourselves "doing church" instead of "being the Church."

Join us as we begin a new series in which we wrestle with the Word of God and create space for His transforming work.
