Bothell Amplified

On this World Communion Sunday, we launched a new sermon series called "Enemies of Gratitude" exploring how worry shrinks our worldview and prevents us from experiencing the fullness of God's abundance. While there are things to worry about, gratitude invites us to notice what else is true. 

This week, we conclude our series, Love Your Enemies, by turning to the prophet Ezekiel who challenges us to remember that God is still at work and that we, and our enemies, can turn towards God's love. 

Jonah preached the worst sermon of his career — and the whole city repented. He should've been thrilled. Instead he was furious. Because God showed mercy to his enemies.

With Pastor Joe out of town, Reverend Elizabeth Schindler preaches from Jonah 3:10 to 4:11 as we sit with the uncomfortable truth that God's mercy doesn't check our approved list first.

This week, we continue our series called "Love Your Enemies". Turning to the story of Joseph and his brothers, we challenge ourselves to understand the depth of forgiveness, not as a way for everyone to be comfortable, but as a way to break the cycle of harming one another. 

This week, we launched a new series called "Love Your Enemies". Turning to the teachings of Jesus, we named that the absence of tension isn't the same as the presence of justice. Real reconciliation takes courage. How might we build towards a world of justice together?

This week, Pastor Kristin wraps up our series called, "Who is this God?" turning to Matthew 16:21-28 and discovering a God who invites us to live according to the example of Christ who showed us a God who is with us.

Over the past few weeks, we've looked to the person of Jesus to help us know God, not created in our image, but one of love and compassion. This week, we turn to Matthew 16:13-20 and discover who God is on our journey through life. 

This week, we continue our series called, "Who is this God?" looking to the person of Jesus to help us know God, not created in our image, but one of love and compassion. We turn to Matthew 15:21-28 and discover who God is when the world creates boundaries. 

This week, we continue our series called, "Who is this God?" and turn to Matthew 14:22-33 and discover who God is in the midst of the storm. How might we put our trust in a God who does not wait on the shore, and in instead, meets us where we are? 

This week, we launch a new series called "Who is this God?" From this familiar story, Pastor Joe reminds us that God is one of compassion who does not turn people away. How might we imagine a world where scarcity does not limit our realities, and instead, a world that celebrates abundance?
