Joel Hamernick of our Fellowship explores what the scripture has to say about the importance and power of play. While it is easy to relate to God based on a "work ethic" made up of things like calling and purpose, why it is important to have a "play ethic" as well. To be intentional about enjoying God and our world in imaginative and creative ways?

Why are we always in such a hurry? What do these words from Psalm 46 tell us about God, ourselves, and the value of being still?

Ray begins a short series on prayer by sharing some general thoughts about what prayer is and some of the questions we all have related to it. Do our prayers matter to God? Do they matter in this world? How do we experience more of the peace Paul talked about in Phil. 4:5-7 when we pray?

After Jesus' entrance into Jerusalem at the beginning of Holy Week, He did something that seemed to be completely out of character. He entered the temple and drove people out with a whip. What was this cleansing of the temple about and what did Jesus doing it represent?

Joel Hamernick continues his series on "Christians in the Public Square" with a teaching and discussion on how we are called to understand and value our work and the work of others who may not share our faith.

As we approach Holy Week, Ray looks at some scenes in the life of Jesus that take place on the Friday and Saturday before His Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem. What do these often overlooked moments in the life of Jesus tell us about God and ourselves that are important for us to remember? About what my heart longs to know but often struggles to believe?

What is an area of life that you have wanted to experience change but haven't experienced? How can Jesus use Mark 5, neuroscience and spiritual formation to give you hope that you can experience the change you have been desiring?

In this age when we are defined by our desires and instant gratification is the norm, why are we actually experiencing so much less than we are made to experience? As we enter this season of lent, Skye Jethani shares insights into how delayed gratification can actually result in greater joy and satisfaction.

How should our faith be lived out in our world? How do we engage our world for its good with people who may not share our faith or see the world as we see it? Join us as we explore these questions together in Part 2 of this important 2 Part series.
