Kent Carlson, co-author of Renovation of the Church, is sharing the platform with David Johnson. They share about “church as destination” vs. church as an incarnational way of living where people who are being authentically changed into the image of Christ can bring hope and real change to this broken and warring world as we express a vibrant, genuine, beautiful, real-life experience of following Jesus individually and as a community.

This Sunday David takes us to Paul’s directives in 1 Corinthians 11 about what we need to be paying attention to as we come to the Table of Grace.

Christ LaTondresse, Guest Speaker | Acts | www.thedoor.org

We're jumping from Acts 13, where Barnabas and Saul were sent out by the Antioch elders on the first missionary journey, to their return and the reports of how God extended the kingdom among the Gentiles. The debate and dissension over whether these new believers should be circumcised led to the Acts 15 Council of Jerusalem, where church leaders came to some astonishing, “didn’t-see-that-coming,” conclusions.

Chris LaTondresse will take us through this surprising passage, challenging us to wonder, as those first-century followers of Jesus had to, about the non-negotiables of our faith – and what things might no longer be non-negotiable – so that others might be able to enter in without boundaries or barriers.

Scott continues last week’s celebration of the “new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead” (1 Peter 1:3, NIV). What does that new birth and living hope look like? Scott invites us to wonder together.

Teaching Pastor: David Johnson, Lead Teaching Pastor and Annika Johnson, Special Guest Speaker | Lent 2017 | www.thedoor.org

Palm Sunday: branches, processions, a baby donkey. And Hosanna!! Growing up participating in joyous Palm Sunday processions, most of us thought hosanna songs were another way of saying hallelujah. But hosanna means to beseech, to cry out for salvation, to plead for rescue – hosanna is such a beautiful and utterly fitting way to enter Holy Week and the journey to the Cross and Resurrection.

This Sunday, Pastor David Johnson, Annika Johnson, Joel Hanson, and the worship team invite us into the Story to find ourselves in the narrative and see (again!) our own need for rescue; to encounter grace; and to hear Jesus’ invitation to follow, to be with Him in this part of the journey.
