This week, we welcome back to Bothell Angela Molloy, our former pastoral intern and now a student in Denver in the Iliff/DU Joint Doctoral Program. As we journey towards Christmas Eve, she challenges us to remember the "subversive and revolutionarily kind Mary" and how we can live into her call to active, justice-stirring love!

This week, our Director of Discipleship and Care, Brian Fu, shares on our relationship with material possessions and how that relates to joy! 

This week, we enter continue our journey through the season of Advent as we look to the fulfillment of hope, peace, joy, and love. Preaching from Luke 3:1-6, Pastor of Community Engagement, Rev. Kristin Joyner, challenges us to remember that the salvation that we yearn for is freedom from our separation from God. 

This week, we enter the season of Advent as we look to the fulfillment of hope, peace, joy, and love. Preaching from Luke 21:25-36, Pastor Joe challenges us to notice hope, to be hope for our communities, and to invite others to be that hope together!

This week, Pastor Joe challenges us to notice the systems that keep people down and our role in revolutionizing the world towards God's preferred future. Reflecting on Mark 12:38-44, he invites us to experience Jesus' words not as a celebration of the widow's giving, but rather a commentary on the system that has failed her. 

This week we celebrate All Saints Day and remember those  who shaped our lives, all the folks who have left something of themselves inside us. Turning to Ruth 1:1-18, Pastor Joe reminds us that all God's children are connected, through time and space, brought together by the Holy Spirit, and that the presence of each other’s spirits, both the living and the dead, journeys with us in and through all the places God meets us.  

This week, we conclude our series and journey through Mark by turning to Mark 10:46-52 and we dive a little deeper into Liberation Theology and the work of Father Gustavo Gutierrez. Pastor Joe challenges us to focus on connection - with God, with our own community, and with the community beyond!

This week, Pastor Joe preaches from Mark 10:35-45 on the complex and beautiful relationship with greatness that James and John have, and how we might experience that greatness together by serving each other this week.
