In a time where offering our thoughts and prayers is seen as an excuse for inaction. What if we believed that it is the most powerful thing that we can do?
The Wisdom of Christ is the only thing that will truly fulfill us. In Colossians we’re seeing how Christ disarms the lies of the empire because he is Truth, takes down the currency of the empire (fear) through Love, and brings Life where the results of empire are death. Let’s pursue Jesus this week as the source of our wholeness!
Colossians was written in the context of the growing emperor cult of the Roman Empire. This Empire was capturing not only the peoples lives but their imaginations as well. Limiting their future dreaming of an alternative reality. Although thousands of years separate us from Ancient Rome, we still know all about Empire. We struggle with global economics and corporate interests that commodify people for profit. How does Colossians help us live our faith in Jesus today? Well, it might be the best book in the Bible to subvert the empire that tries to colonize our imaginations. Jesus is THE revelation that ALLOWS US to enter and live an ALTERNATIVE REALITY to Empire - a NEW way to live.
The revelation of Jesus is the best way to combat our fear. Peter’s example of faith and failure as he responds to Jesus’ invitation to walk on water is a revealing look into the ways our misconceptions fuel our fear and keep us from walking with Jesus - even in places we could never imagine.
Jesus movement invites us to confront fatalism, moving instead to sympathy, empathy and compassion that acts towards transformation. Joining Jesus will empower us to do the same. We are a ressurection people.
As we begin a New Year following the footsteps of Jesus, we look at the places that those footsteps take us, and the gentle rhythms that will move us there.

This Sunday our church rests. Listen to Bette Dickenson, the artist in residence at Infinitum as she walks us through Visio Divina.
In the most impactful event in history, the birth of Christ is surrounded by God’s generous invitation to EVERYONE. This is clearer than ever in the way God goes out of His way to get in the way of the Shepherds, in order to invite them to Jesus’ birth.
We're captivated by stories of the "suddenly" of the scriptures. We often think of God’s intervention as immediate and instant, but we forget the longer work of preparation. How can our faithfulness to what God asks us to do, that seems ordinary, be a place of Divine connection?
The Christmas Challenge preaching series is a deeper look into Luke’s narrative of the events surrounding the birth of Jesus. Each message is accompanied by an artwork that features something from the passage for that week painted by Bette Dickinson.
