Hang out with us as we talk about the faithfulness of God to us and our faithfulness to God.
Blurb: This week we are in Acts 18, where Paul has arrived in the city of Corinth where he must learn to be faithful to people he would rather condemn.
This week we are talking about our unexamined notions about kindness, what it is, and how it enters into the world.
This week we are talking about evangelism, what it is and, why it matters, and ways that it can be practiced.
This week we are studying Paul’s sermon on Mars Hill to the great Epicurean and Stoic Philosophers. We are finishing up Acts 17 today.
This week we are talking about steps that we can take adorn ourselves in the fruits of the spirit, specifically patience.
This week we are talking about the patience of Paul, and how it is evidence that something altogether different was driving his ministry, the Spirit.
This week we are back in Acts 17 talking about how to "turn the world upside down," as Luke puts it.
This week we are spending some time talking about church health, specifically the UNhealth of self-centered and narcissistic leadership.
This week we are talking about more ways that Paul understands the salvation of God that was accomplished through Christ.
This week we are talking about how the Apostle Paul understood the sweeping narrative of God and the incarnation of Jesus brought salvation.
This week we are looking at the salvation of the jailor in Acts 16. We will investigate what salvation is, what it looks like, and how it should be understood.
Today we are looking at the story Paul healing a possessed girl, and toppling an economic industry at the same time. Join us as we study Acts 16
This week we are in Acts 16 talking about how injustice and oppression in the city of Philippi gave the gospel fertile ground to show it's true idol-smashing, oppression-destroying power.
This week we are in Acts 16, where we meet a business savvy wealthy woman named Lydia, a woman who would inspire some of the most beautiful passages of the New Testament. Join us!
This morning we will be looking at the story of Joseph the Dreamer through as we look at what it means to read the Tex thought the lens of Christ.
This week we are continuing our journey through Acts. We are talking about the leading of the missionaries by the Spirit in Chapter 16, where Paul and his traveling companions are being led by the spirit into their own wilderness.
This week we are reflecting on the turmoil of the nation and asking some serious questions about the relationship between the Christian and the Nation. We will be in Revelation 18. Join us!
This week we are talking about a way forward out of the mess we have all been experiencing. We will talk about how we as a church an live in a way that births new life and a new environment where the kingdom of God can bring out the flourish that humanity is desperately seeking. Join us!
This week we are in Acts 15 talking about failure and redemption. We are particularly focusing in on Mark’s journey from cowardice to the author of the most important Gospel in the New Testament.
This week we will look at Jesus's farewell discourse in the Gospel of John. Jesus declared that he will send the Spirit of God and that the disciples will be given true peace, a peace that comes in paradox and contrary to the Roman Empire. Join us as we dive into John 14!
This week we will be talking about conflict, an ever present force in the church. It was just as present in the first churches as it is today, but Acts 15 gives us a path through it towards discernment and resolution. Join us!
This week we are learning about the council of Jerusalem, where the church had to learn to deal with xenophobia, receiving those who are nothing like them, and the threat of change. Join us!
This week we are talking about Christoformity in leadership, and the role of the spiritual disciplines in the church community as we finish up Acts 14.
Today we will be talking about the thread that runs through both ancient and modern societies: idolatry. Acts 14:8-20
This week we are talking about Christian ethics, and why the apostles in the book of Acts feel that telling the story is so important.
The missionaries in Lukes book are not running around trying to get people to convert to a religion, they were pronouncing the end of the world, that the world as they knew it was over and done!
This week we will be talking about how to become a child of the Devil (obviously not something you want to do). Join us as we move further into Acts 13, where Saul gets a name change and blinds a magician. Its a big one!
This week we are in Acts 13 learning about the ancient church's habit of communal discernment, a practice that offers to change the very fabric of a community (if we will only let it!). Join us.
Jesus said the Kingdom of heaven is many things. This week in Matthew 13:33 we are talking about how the Kingdom of heaven moves about in the quiet hidden ways; many times in ways that are unexpected. Join us!
In Acts 12, Luke offers us a contrast between a king who is filled with death, and a king who is filled with life. We also receive a picture of the kingdoms which both of these kings rule over and how they function. Join us as we wrap up Acts 12.
Luke, in Acts 12, is highlighting that the church has experienced an Exodus from slavery to both earthly kings (Herod) and the overbearing laws of religion (the temple leaders). This week we are talking about how the church has been set free, never again being ruled over by anyone bit Christ; never again submitting to any law but the Spirit of God. Please join us this week, and stick around for the ZOOM afterparty.
This week we are talking about the parable of the persistent widow and the unjust judge in Luke 18:1-8. While at first we only see the characters of the widow and the judge, the presence of a third character helps us to understand what Jesus is telling us when he encourages us to "always pray and never lose heart.
This week we are talking about the response of the first Gentile church in Antioch, and their response to the new that a famine was coming, as well as how the work of the teacher and the prophet worked to equip them for this response. We are finishing Acts 11.
Jesus changes our view of God, he always has. And when Jesus changes our view of God, we will have to answer for these changes because we will find ourselves in places where religious people believe that we ought not to be. Peter understood that following Jesus into fellowship with the Gentiles meant breaking the religious laws of Gods people, and yet he knew he had to move forward.
The most stunning thing about this entire episode is Peters response, and how the it was received. He was sincere, he was known by his accusers, and he was loved by them because he was already in a loving and caring relationship with them. Therefore, he needed only to tell his story and it was accepted. He didn't need to use theological arguments, he didn't need to use the words of the prophets and the law, he simply needed to say 'here is what happened, and this is how it changed me.'
Growth happens best, not in debate with those on the other side of an issue, but rather by remaining in relationship with them.
This week we are in Acts 11, talking about how to have a COMMUNAL relationship with Jesus as our COMMUNAL Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Join us!
