Season: Better Than You Remember: A Walk Through Hebrews

Speaker: Ben White

Location: 3800 Marlton Pike

About Talk: Faith gives us purpose. It is not mental assent to a set of beliefs about Jesus and God. We make our faith by trusting as we do what God calls us to do. The author of Hebrews seems to collect all the longing in the Bible so it can be fulfilled in Jesus, now. God’s promise is not complete without us (Hebrews 11:40). We are caught up in the flow right next to heroes of the faith like Noah, Moses, Rahab and others. Our faith and trust work like theirs. They had experiences like ours. We can do the things that require faith now and become heroes in big and tiny ways.

Season: Jesus in the Gospels

Speaker: Julie Hoke

Location: 5720 Ridge Ave.

About Talk: Jesus comes into our human condition to save us. He turns our concepts of weakness and strength upside down by making a new way that is based on what he does in and through us. Our value is not based on us or our assessment of ourselves or the worlds assessment of us.

Season: Better Than You Remember: A Walk Through Hebrews

Speaker: Ben White

Location: 3800 Marlton Pike

About Talk: Being right is overrated. Trying to be a “good person” is often a lie. But we keep trying. There are new ways we try to do the “old system” that is described in Hebrews 10. We are looking for cleansing, but we aren’t finding it in our actions. Being a Christian is about being connected to Jesus, not being correct. If we don’t have to put so much energy in proving ourselves we can do upside down things like Jesus.

Season: Jesus in the Gospels

Speaker: Jerome Stafford

Location: 5720 Ridge Ave.

About Talk: Jerome uses Jesus' promise of making a home for us in John 14 to give comfort to those looking to respond to the upheaval happening in our world. Even though it seems mundane, our cells and Sunday Meetings create the place in which we can rest and from which we can act for redemption.

Season: Apostolic Arithmetic

Speaker: Rod White

Location: 2309 N. Broad St.

About Talk: We certainly would not want to be on the edge of the pool of grace for 38 years! But that might be true of us if we don’t avail ourselves of our excess when Jesus finds us.

Season: FLIP OR FLOP? (Trust the slow work of God)

Speaker: Rachel Sensenig

Location: 2214 S. Broad St.

About Talk: We’re thinking about spiritual development this season. God is the great renovator; will we get flipped or will we flop? I.e. will we become more generative or will we stay stuck in our ruts? The good news is that our brokenness is not the end. It is the beginning. Jesus is saving us, regardless of how we might look / feel in each stage of our rehab. Peter in the Bible starts out with an individualistic faith that relies on spurts of inspiration (that often get derailed by fear) and moves into an others-centered life that is fueled by trust in God. The turning point is forgiveness and love from Jesus.
