Welcome to the 10th sermon in our series looking at personal encounters with Jesus as recorded in the gospel of John.
The idea that God would become a human and “dwell among us” is an astounding thought. The God of the Bible did not remain hidden or removed or indifferent, He actually wrote Himself into the story and became one of His creation!? And when Jesus walked among us, He did not come as a king or a warrior or a leader, He came as a servant. He walked and talked and met with very real people in very real circumstances.
This summer at Refuge, we are going through the Gospel of John and meeting Jesus in these encounters with all kinds of people. We don’t just want to know our opinions about Jesus, we want to know who He really was and how He interacted with people so that we can come to know Him better.

Welcome to the 6th sermon in our series on why the body of Christ still matters. (6 of 6)
Over the past several decades there has been a great shrinking of confidence in many institutions, including the church. Throughout the month of May, we are going to examine what the Church was designed to be while acknowledging her flaws. We will examine our presumptions, perhaps revealing a naive faith in individualism. What benefits might still be beautiful and redemptive in being part of a community of sinners made and being made new? Join us in looking at The Reason for Church.

Welcome to the 45th sermon in our series on the books of 1 & 2 Samuel. (45 of 45)
In the books of 1&2 Samuel, God grants his people a king, but it doesn’t go the way they think it will go. Power is something every person craves, but does it ever deliver what we hope it will deliver? In God’s story, power is a crucible that enables, lifts up, reveals and exposes. It is God’s to grant and ours to either steward or worship…one leads to life, the other to destruction.

Power is something every person craves, but does it ever deliver what we hope it will deliver? In God’s story, power is a crucible that enables, lifts up, reveals and exposes. It is God’s to grant and ours to either steward or worship…one leads to life, the other to destruction.

Welcome to the 3rd sermon in our series on the joy, hope, and peace that our perfect King is bringing. (3 of 3)
What does it look like to wait for Christ our King? Advent is the first season of the Christian liturgical calendar. Just like the Israelites in the Old Testament were commanded to celebrate certain holidays at various times of the year to remember what God had done, the early Church began a yearly cycle of regular remembering. Each time they met together they read Scripture, explained and applied what had been read, sang songs, broke bread together, and gave of tithes and offerings ‘so that none had need.’ In the 4th century they began to formally associate each season with certain parts of Scripture so that they could move through the entire story of Scripture each year. Advent became a retelling of the Old Testament focusing on the coming of the Messiah. So it is in this season that we celebrate the coming of Jesus and anticipate his return. Join us for the next few weeks as we focus on the joy, hope, and peace that our perfect King is bringing to earth.

Welcome to the 6th sermon in our series on how the kingdom of heaven that Jesus introduced grew in the church in Colossae.
Following Jesus’ teachings about the Kingdom of God in the Sermon on the Mount and then his death and resurrection, his disciples were given the charge to now live out this new reality as a people called “the church.” What did that look like?

Welcome to the 3rd sermon in our series on the nature of the coming kingdom based on Colossians 1:13-23. (3 of 3)
We love to hear stories of good kings or rulers reigning with love and justice in their domains. The picture we get of king Jesus in Colossians is that of a loving ruler who, though king over all, has decided to lay down his life to redeem his kingdom from slavery to a domain of darkness. The loving and sacrificial character of king Jesus shows us what life in his kingdom should look like for those of us who follow him.

Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on the season of advent – the season of waiting, remembering, and expecting. (4 of 4)
Two themes that are expressed over and over again in the Bible that we might often miss are the themes of “waiting” and “remembering.” Throughout the Hebrew Scriptures, God tells his people through visions, through names, through prophets and dreams to remember that He has provided and to wait on him to provide again. Over and over we are tempted to make our own world, construct our own reality. We are often tempted with impatience that is fueled by our forgetfulness of God’s provision yesterday and a single vision for something else we need tomorrow. When we wait and remember, we enter into a trusting relationship with the God of scripture who, "in the fullness of time sent forth his Son, born of woman, born under the law, to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption as sons.” (Gal 4:4-5)

Welcome to the 5th sermon in our series on the missional disciplines. (5 of 5)
The mission of Refuge is to “build our identity in Christ for the sake of the world.” One of the major ways we do that is to “practice” being like Jesus: following him, trusting him, becoming more of who we really are by practicing Gospel truths. This is not an effort to change who we are, it’s actually an effort to become MORE of who we now are, in Christ. What we do individually in growing our relationship with Jesus, what we do with fellow followers of Jesus in growing our relationship as the Church, and what we do as the Church in proclaiming and demonstrating this new Kingdom are all important.
For the rest of August, we are going to look at 5 practices of mission or spiritual disciplines of mission. God has gifted each of us in different ways to see and be passionate about these areas, and when we work together in harmony, we carry out the mission of the church while gloriously and freely giving of our selves and leaving the results to the work of the Holy Spirit!
The 5 practices we will be looking at are:
- Engaging in Public Faith
- Gathering for Public Worship
- Ministries of Compassion, Mercy, and Justice
- Integrating Work and Faith
- Hospitality
Each of these practices are incredibly important in the life of the New Testament Church, and we want to learn how to practice each of these better, together, as we continue to build our identity in Christ for the sake of the world!

Welcome to the 8th sermon in our series on the yearly feasts that God ordained in Leviticus 23. (8 of 8)
When God designed the world, he brought order out of chaos. He made dominions of light and dark, skies and seas and land. He put things in order to guide and govern the way the world operated. He established a kingdom that he would rule over, commissioned Adam and Eve as good overseers, gave them instructions, and then rested on his throne to begin his reign. In all of these things, God gave an “ought-ness” to the world…a rhythm. These are the bases not only of laws and rules, but of seasons and celebrations. In Leviticus 23, God gave his people an annual rhythm of feasts, “holy convocations,” to rest and remember, cease and celebrate, feast and focus.
This Summer at Refuge, we are going to walk through these Rhythms and Feasts in Leviticus 23. We believe that the substance belongs to Christ, but the rhythms of remembrance and celebration are gifts from God to practice with joy and hope.

Welcome to the 13th sermon in our series on The Apostles Creed. (13 of 13)
Every week, as a church, we recite the Apostle's Creed. Creeds have been a part of church history from the very beginning. Some even being recited within Scripture itself! However there have also been some hesitancy about the use of a creed that it is "not Scripture" or that we need "no creed by Christ."
Much of this might be chalked up to a misunderstanding of what a creed is and its very helpful functions. Michael Bird describes a creed like a suitcase that we can pack our essential beliefs into, but always designed to be unpacked and understood with greater depth.
Over the next several weeks, we are going to walk through this confession of beliefs known as the Apostles' Creed. This has unified followers of Jesus for nearly 2,000 years and across nearly every cultural line. What are we confessing when we proclaim "Christ is King," and what does it mean when we say "I believe..."

Welcome to the 13th sermon in our series on the book of 1 John. (13 of 13)
The letter of 1 John has long been a treasure for followers of Jesus. The second generation of the church in Ephesus faces many of the same accusations about the person and work of Jesus that the church still faces to this day. John, writing as an older, caring pastor, wants to steady and encourage the faith of God's people not only to trust and worship Jesus as God, but also to follow his example of light and love. John writes this letter so that the church might know that Jesus is Lord!

Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on a better Christmas story. (4 of 4)
We are entering into the first liturgical season of the Church - Advent, which is Latin for coming. Just as in the season of Lent, we enter into the suffering of Jesus before we celebrate his resurrection, the season of Advent is a season of waiting and longing that ends with the celebration of the incarnation, the birth of Jesus. . .Christmas! The celebration also points us forward to the Advent yet to come, Christ's return!
Culturally, this is known as the "holiday season," where it has become an extended time of shopping and parties and light shows and nostalgia. It seems like Christmas Day is when we finally collapse after all of the busyness, only to recoup just enough energy to celebrate the new year! . . but this year, let's try to recover just a bit of what the meaning of Advent was designed to be.
Our Advent series will tell "a better story" about the history and the future of the world. A story that enters into the longing, but also awaits with glorious anticipation the fulfillment of all time! We will look at the story each week as we Wait, Prepare, Rejoice, and Love. I promise you, this story holds more hope and joy than you could possibly imagine and will fulfill the longings far beyond what nostalgia can only dream about. This is hope. This is advent. This is a better story.

Culturally, this is known as the "holiday season," where it has become an extended time of shopping and parties and light shows and nostalgia. It seems like Christmas Day is when we finally collapse after all of the busyness, only to recoup just enough energy to celebrate the new year! . . but this year, let's try to recover just a bit of what the meaning of Advent was designed to be.
Our Advent series will tell "a better story" about the history and the future of the world. A story that enters into the longing, but also awaits with glorious anticipation the fulfillment of all time! We will look at the story each week as we Wait, Prepare, Rejoice, and Love. I promise you, this story holds more hope and joy than you could possibly imagine and will fulfill the longings far beyond what nostalgia can only dream about. This is hope. This is advent. This is a better story.

John, writing as an older, caring pastor, wants to steady and encourage the faith of God's people not only to trust and worship Jesus as God, but also to follow his example of light and love. John writes this letter so that the church might know that Jesus is Lord!

Welcome to the 4th sermon in our series on hard questions. (4 of 4)
It seems we live in a world of dichotomies: some people seem to be afraid to ask questions, while others seem to be afraid to give answers. There are so many opinions, so many “what about’s,” so much information that can render us almost paralyzed. What should we think? What should we believe? What should we do? In our context, many of those questions and doubts and critiques are directed at Christians and/or Christianity. Some seem pretty fair, some seem pretty far fetched.
We’re going to take the month of August and, with the help of some guest preachers, explore some of the hard questions about Christianity. How do we ask good questions? What about God and suffering? How can people claim an “exclusive” belief? Doesn’t religion lead to violence? Is Christianity homophobic? We are excited to welcome some wonderful, Christian thinkers in these areas to help us navigate Scripture and culture and belief and sort through some hard questions for Christianity.

Welcome to the 14th sermon in our series on the book of Colossians. (14 of 14)
Colossians is a wonderful letter written to a newer church in the city of Colossae. There are a number of different backgrounds that are represented in this young gathering of followers of Jesus that Paul is encouraging and equipping toward faithfulness! There are differing opinions on whether this was Paul's instruction to a very young and new church or if Paul was writing to them after a few years when their former ways of life had started to creep in. Either way, what Paul writes to this church is SO helpful and encouraging for any church to remember what Christ has delivered us from and what He is delivering us toward!

Welcome to the 23rd sermon in our series on the overall story of the Bible. (23 of 23)
The Bible is filled with a whole lot of characters and stories that ultimately tell one big story. We believe the Bible ultimately tells the story of God...and we’re all included! This grand story is the story we tell every week when we gather: God Created the world and it was good and we enjoyed perfect relationship with God. In Genesis 3, however, mankind Rebelled against God and from that, everything fell apart. God made a covenant, made many covenants that He, alone would be faithful to keep. And, through Jesus, He will Redeem His people! One day, God, through Christ, will Restore all things, he will make the world right again. God, one day, will make His glories known as far as the curse has reached. Starting this Sunday, we will look more in depth at this whole story.

Welcome to our 3rd sermon in our series on walking with God through pain and suffering. (3 of 3)
Normally, every January, we take time to focus on various spiritual disciplines that we can re-commit to practicing throughout the year. Spiritual disciplines and practices are not "goals to accomplish," although certainly feeling a measure of joy in starting and sustaining times of prayer and fasting is worthy of celebrating. Spiritual disciplines are strategies toward reaching the goal, and that goal is to know and trust and be more and more conformed to the image of Jesus.
Culturally, we are simply ill-equipped to walk confidently, yet humbly with God in times of suffering. This doesn't just affect our trust and walk with God in difficult situations, it affects our view and trust of God in ALL of life. So, to begin this year, we'll take a few weeks to examine the regular practices and habits of walking with God through pain and suffering and toward deep, transformational, long lasting hope.
Welcome to our 2nd sermon in our series on walking with God through pain and suffering. (2 of 3)
Normally, every January, we take time to focus on various spiritual disciplines that we can re-commit to practicing throughout the year. Spiritual disciplines and practices are not "goals to accomplish," although certainly feeling a measure of joy in starting and sustaining times of prayer and fasting is worthy of celebrating. Spiritual disciplines are strategies toward reaching the goal, and that goal is to know and trust and be more and more conformed to the image of Jesus.

Welcome to the 10th sermon in our series on the overall story of the Bible. (10 of 23)
The Bible is filled with a whole lot of characters and stories that ultimately tell one big story. We believe the Bible ultimately tells the story of God...and we’re all included! This grand story is the story we tell every week when we gather: God Created the world and it was good and we enjoyed perfect relationship with God. In Genesis 3, however, mankind Rebelled against God and from that, everything fell apart. God made a covenant, made many covenants that He, alone would be faithful to keep. And, through Jesus, He will Redeem His people! One day, God, through Christ, will Restore all things, he will make the world right again. God, one day, will make His glories known as far as the curse has reached. Starting this Sunday, we will look more in depth at this whole story.

Welcome to the 15th sermon in our sermon series about the parables of Jesus. (15 of 15)
Over the summer we are going to take a deep dive into the Parables of Jesus. Jesus’ parables, while they are certainly filled with moral guidance and helpful insight, they are also about some things that are quite a bit more than that. They will reveal a new authority, a new “sheriff in town,” so to speak. When we examine these short stories of Jesus in their context, we’ll start to see that they don’t just make everything easier to understand, they are actually telling the climax of the story. It’s the same story that Paul is proclaiming, and it’s the same story that upends all that we’ve known. We will hear whispered and then shouted... “The Kingdom is coming, and the King is here.” This changes everything!

Welcome to the 16th sermon in our series on the book of Galatians. (16 of 16)
Perhaps Paul’s earliest letter to a group of churches, Galatians both confronts and comforts those who have trusted Jesus. All at once, Paul forces us to look in the mirror at our self-promotion and self-protection; while also comforting us with the hope and reality that those who are in Christ are, in fact, sons and daughters of the most high God. Join us as we continue to build our identity in Christ for the sake of the world through Paul’s letter to the Galatians.
