Reminders can bring joy, prompt you to take action or cause you to understand an obligation. Join us as we discuss reminders of God's promises, grace, mercy, and love.

To live a life where you hope for justice in a world of injustice, and have faith in a God who upholds the oppressed, is to live a life marked by frustration. AND we are called to be a source of frustration for the ways of the wicked. In the tension of this post election moment,  let us find expression, hope and solidarity in both the frustration and in being a frustrater.

Join us this Sunday, as we welcome special guest Reverend Ayanna Watkins back to our pulpit!

When you lose someone you love what do you do? How do we hold the feelings of unrealized hope, sadness, pain, and memory? Is there hope beyond death? Where is God in all of this loss? Join us as we talk about the pain of hope, the grief of death and seek faith in resurrection.

There is a saying: “Heavy is the head that wears the crown”. Most of us would like to know what it feels like to have that “heavy head” because we have achieved our financial and relational dreams and must deal with the weight of managing it all. Or, to say it another way, “I’d love to know from experience that wealth doesn’t solve all my problems”.  Jesus says the way to leadership and success, in his kingdom, the crown he is bestowes, comes through service. What does it mean to let go of the idea of worldly success and embrace a way of leadership and greatness through a life of service? Join us this Sunday to explore these ideas!

The prosperity gospel is not a 20th-century invention. It's been around a while. Even Jesus' disciples were surprised when he said wealth is not a sign of God's favor. Going against the grain, Jesus says mercy, empathy, and compassion rank above piety. Maybe it's better to give a bicycle than to win one.

Have you ever felt pressure to immediately make decisions, have answers and form judgements about people and events? While our culture tends to gravitate towards this type of posture in life, the wisdom of the gospel tells us there are many things that can only be understood after a time of suspended judgment and unsettling unknowing. Join us as we explore a path toward this wisdom of unknowing in a world of certainty.

Have you noticed how heavy it is to carry your true thoughts and feelings about life when you don’t feel like you can share them? At what cost do we live life only showing up as who we think others want us to be? What would it look like to welcome all of ourselves to our life as followers of Jesus and human beings on a journey to become whole.  Listen in as we explore the path of wholeness and integrity.

Were you “cliqued up” in middle school? High school? Maybe you were on the outside looking in? In the first half of our lives deciding who's in and who’s out is important to form our identity; it can even feel like the difference between life and death. As we get further along in life wisdom calls us to understand belonging in a new way, one that can build desperately needed bridges in our families, churches and cities. Join us as explore the wisdom of inclusion, what it looks like and how we can pursue it.

Have you ever thought “if I just get this, I’ll be satisfied,” only to find yourself back in the same place of discontent moments later? What if finding deep contentment and satisfaction cannot happen through acquiring more things, control, power, money, admiration, etc. but can only happen by letting go, losing, and surrendering? Listen in as we explore this path, the path of a disciple of Jesus.
