Everyone decides what they want to believe. What we choose to believe in, or continue to believe, will expand or limit the borders of our world, and it sets the trajectory of what we can learn and who we will trust. Rational doubt allows us to question our beliefs, thoughts, and experiences and can lead us into deeper levels of trust and awareness. These ingredients can bring life and hope or death and destruction. Those who follow...
Join us this Easter Sunday as we remember the resurrection and its power to reorient our hearts toward the life that God offers us through Christ.
Join us for a sacred and unique Good Friday service.
“The truth can set you free.” - AND freedom comes with the responsibility to make difficult choices, which is why we sometimes prefer to ignore it. Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem was the inevitable clash of mounting tensions between truth and deception, acceptance and denial, responsibility and passivity. Listen in as we are reminded of the power of truth when we stop running from it and start listening to it.
There are seasons in which dramatic change is thrust upon us and times when we bring about change in our lives. Both are challenging, and both take spiritual imagination to navigate well. We are in such a time when volatile change is being thrust upon us. How will we respond? Join us as we conclude the Lenten series, "Resist Hopelessness, Fast from Complacency, and Persist in Imagination."
Reconciliation is the healing or repairing of something broken, fractured, or misaligned, especially a relationship. Reconciliation can give us hope, it can bring newness, and it can be an incredible source of imagination. Listen in this Sunday to hear how a force that is reconciled may be exactly what we, and the world needs.
Join us this Sunday as we welcome back to the pulpit, Rev. Ayanna Watkins, as we continue our Lenten series.
This Sunday we will continue our Lenten series: Resist Hopelessness, Fast From Complacency, Persist in Imagination. Robert Grisham will be teaching on the practice of Contemplative Activism. As followers of Jesus we are called to lives of activism, but when that activism is not rooted in an abiding relationship with Jesus, the results can be damaging, both to ourselves and to the recipients of our activism.
During Jesus’s time in the desert, he learned what it meant to resist the temptation of hopelessness. Why is hopelessness even a temptation? How do we name it and then resist it? Join us in the first sermon in the Lenten series: Resist Hopelessness, Fast From Complacency, Persist in Imagination.
As our series comes to a close, we settle into this important principle for our growth as followers of Jesus – we seek progress, not perfection. What are the steps toward progress we need to take after considering the topics we have addressed over the past two months? This sermon is the conclusion of Setting Your House in Order.
Few words have the power to evoke such deep feelings of love, sadness, passion, loyalty, hate, division and belonging as family. Fewer still are the places we see the dynamics of a family play out with as much clarity as the dinner table. When it comes to addressing the health and spirituality of our families, how we gather (or don’t gather) around the table may be the most important place to start. Join us as we continue to explo...
Join us, as we continue to talk about our sexuality and how we can apply what we are learning to the realms of dating and marriage. Part of the series Setting Your House in Order.
Our sexuality is one of the greatest sources of creative energy we possess. Unfortunately, many of us grew up without elders teaching us of its goodness and power leaving us open to messages that our sexuality is simply something to manage and restrain or to act on without inhibition or humility. Something as holy, powerful, and potent as our sexuality will not be reduced to either. We will not be able to order our lives if we spen...
Out of everything vying for our attention, health may be the most foundational. Our physical, mental, and spiritual well-being determines how we respond to the most significant events in our lives, yet sometimes, we push health to the sidelines of our priorities. Let’s rally together and seek health in all aspects of our lives. In learning to do so, we honor God by stewarding the foremost gift we have been given- ourselves. Listen ...
To be sober is to be aware, alert, observant, and clear-headed. How can an individual, a family, a city, or a country cultivate this awareness if it wasn’t something learned or inherited? Furthermore, how we handle our finances requires tools, skill, and wisdom, but without an emotionally sober relationship with money, we can find ourselves misusing these tools in detrimental ways. Join us as we continue to talk money as part of th...
Join us this Sunday morning as we continue in our new series Setting Your House in Order. Robert Grisham will be teaching on the 10 things that wisdom teaches us about wealth.
Starting a new year gives us an opportunity to reflect on how we spent our energy, time, and money in the previous one. It allows us to take a sobering look at the difference and similarities between what we say we value and what are life choices show we value. Once we have taken a careful look backwards we can, with intention, help, and faith, begin to plan the next year. Listen in as we seek to create a year of purpose in our pur...
What distinguishes one life from another? Why do we fall in love with one person and not another? Surely it’s the particulars of our lives that comprise love. Join us as we discuss the experience of waiting for love and God in the particulars of life on the fourth Sunday of Advent- a time of expectant waiting.
Oftentimes waiting and worrying seem to go together. When you find yourself in a state of worry, how does it impact your life and relationships? Join us as we learn ways to let go of worry as a means of waiting and instead embrace an empowering life of waiting in prayer. The third Sunday of Advent - a time of expectant waiting.
What does it mean for us to find wholeness or completeness? You may have been told it is up to you to figure it out and that you are waiting to be judged as an isolated individual. What if the scriptures say that the work being done in us is a collective work? -That we are waiting, not for our isolated, individual perfection, but for the wholeness that we can only experience in relationship to one another? The work to be completed ...
