Everywhere Jesus goes, he brings the ‘Kingdom of Heaven’ with him and God’s nature is revealed in all it’s majesty, wonder, and goodness. If we can’t see it, perhaps we need to repent on how we view the world around us.
When Christ came through the waters of the Jordan River in his own baptism, he heard the voice of God say, ‘I love my Son and am happy with him.’ As we pass through the waters of our own baptism, and enter into Jesus’ revolutionary Kingdom of love, we hear the same divine words of affirmation.
At the center of Christ’s birth story is a nightmare of magnanimous proportions — a genocide of innocent children at the hands of a power hungry dictator, causing the holy family to take refuge in another country. As we contemplate this ugly side of Christmas, do we identify with the Herods of the world, or the Prince of Peace?
Imaginative Prayer is a spiritual practice//meditation that allows us to enter more fully into a biblical story. As we continue in our celebration and contemplation of Christ’s incarnation, allow yourself a few minutes to create sacred space during this Christmas season.
A special message from 516 Mission’s Nik Locker on how to find joy during what can be a difficult season for so many this time of year.
Advent 2 is all about John the Baptizer and his relentless push for all to repent, change their minds, and then bear fruit that is worthy of that change of mind. Jesus’ Kingdom is already being ushered in through his life, death, resurrection, and ascension, AND is coming its full reality with or without our help, but he gives us the dignity of co-laboring with him in making love and peace and grace etc. a reality in our midst.
Jesus of the vigil, you told us to keep watch, to stay alert for what is coming. Bless us with the strength to watch, to wait, and to work this Advent season, so that your Kingdom which is here and is still to come may be realized in its fullness. Because if we do not keep watch, we may miss it. Amen (Prayer by Michael T. McRay)
This Ignatian based Examen focuses on the gifts we’ve been given and helps to reorient our hearts toward a posture of gratitude.
Part 2 of exploring the ‘I Am’ statements from John’s gospel — the resurrection and the life; the way, truth, and life; the vine — with a spiritual practice contemplating our answer to Jesus’ question, ‘who do you say that I am?’ Meditation begins around the 16 minute mark.
‘Who do you say that I am?’ Jesus asked his disciples and asks us today. Bread? Light? A gate? A good shepherd? All of the above? In this 2 part sermon we dig into 4/7 of Jesus’ ‘I AM’ statements from John’s gospel. We’ll conclude with the other 3 in part 2 followed by a meditation, reflecting on Christ the King.
Jesus redefines who we consider neighbor, and thus who we are commanded to ‘love as ourselves.’ No matter who you are, where you’ve been, or what you’ve done, there is room in Jesus’ story for you, don’t let anyone tell you otherwise.
During Jesus’ ‘Sermon on the Mount’ he gives his followers an alternative way to pray, an alternative melody of sorts, that runs through the ethos of a new Kingdom being ushered in. Commonly known as ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ this invitation of Jesus allows us to align our hearts and will with that of our Father, our Abba, our Papa, as he brings his Kingdom to earth as in heaven.
As the one true King, Jesus renders his judgment upon us from his throne on the cross, ‘Father, forgive them.’ There is nothing we can do to earn this beautiful gift of grace. All we can do is live with gratitude in our hearts and love others in his Kingdom, as King Jesus loves us.
In the 1st century, to claim Jesus as Lord and King meant that you would not bow the knee to Caesar and the Roman Empire’s violent ways. In the 21st century, to claim Jesus as Lord and King means the same; that we as Christians, ‘little Christs’ don’t bend the knee to the ‘Caesars’ and violent empires of the current world in which we live. Jesus and Jesus alone is the one true King that rules his Kingdom with humility, love, patience, peace, and integrity.
Just as the human body works best when all the intricate members are in sync and are unified in it’s quest for a vibrant and full life, so it is with the ‘King’s’ body, Jesus’ body, the church. Both local and universal, the church is called to be unified and bring the gospel of Jesus to the nations.
Imagine you took the time to be thoughtful in giving a gift, and it was never opened. The gift only sat there, ignored and unused. Is this how God feels when his children leave their divine spiritual gifts unopened? Pastor Roland Klauk speaks to the heart of God concerning spiritual gifts.
It can often be overwhelming to look at the heaviness of the world's depravity as we contemplate our participation in Jesus' Kingdom Project, but perhaps it's the small interactions, the small decisions we make that can actually cause change in our hearts, our families, and our communities, Is it possible that Jesus has already taken this burden off our shoulders and instead invites us to walk along side him as he sows seeds of good news? Through both the parable of the mustard seed and the parable of the sower (from Matthew 13) we see that the seeds of Jesus' revolution might not be as overwhelming as we once thought.
How do we see the world around us? What is the lens with which we see the divine in our every day lives? As we prepare to launch a new series this fall, 'The Kingdom Project' it's important to start with eyes that can see Jesus for who he is, what he's done, and what he continues to do 'on earth as in heaven. This 'prequel' to our fall series at Regen seeks to strip off the shiny veneer of the Western Jesus, and instead seek the Jesus that turned the world upside down through his life, death, and resurrection.
