In a world of getting what you deserve and taking care of your own before others, this teaching paints a deep contrast. Its one worth examining. Does our love and compassion stir us as people of mercy or justice? Can the two harmonize? Who are we in the story? Could there be a simple solution? Perhaps yes and it comes in the form of a “neighbor”.…

Jesus could be described as the Great Optometrist. He is a master at shaping and forming how we see God, others, and His creation. As he gets hold of our sight he begins to help us see beyond the surface of the empirical. But even the physical dimension we can begin to look at differently. This week we desire to see as Christ sees and to use our ey…

How do we honor the past and bless our future? This is the guiding question as we wade through the waters of our church’s history. While at times its feels as if we are still just a fledging community trying to find our way, we are called to stand firmly in the tradition of Christ and his love for neighbor and enemy. In this series we will look to …

Real love is risky. It requires us to go beyond our comfort zone at times and other times to stay on the porch. Thankfully Jesus puts this kind of love on display and has gifted us with wonderful examples in our own past to help us see the love but also to receive it and give it too.

Turns out the goal of spiritual formation isn’t formation itself, it is a deeper intimacy with Jesus. This week Gavin will sit down with long time friend and guide Steve Riemer to discuss the role of spiritual formation and more specifically the journey of walking with Jesus and others.

Not always has the church understood the richness of the Kingdom. Often in histories past we have thought the Kingdom to be something we had to construct by military power and at other times it was thought to be exclusively a heavenly ideal. Thankfully our parent church held a deep affection for the King and His Kingdom in more ways then one. We we…

Home is somewhere north but north is like half the planet. So, which road do we take? So much hope and possibilities in the beginning, so much luggage to take and so many maps willing to point the way. And yet with all these detours and dreams we are left feeling empty handed arriving at the same dead end again. This week we will learn the paradox …
