The ancient Israelites imagined the chaos and tragedies of their lives as embodied in a fabled sea creature known as the Leviathan. Even though we don't believe the same mythologies, what can we learn from these poetic descriptions of the Leviathan about dealing with the chaos and tragedies in our own lives?

Most of us heard the story of David and Goliath for the first time as children, but the nuances of the story become even more powerful as adults. What can we learn from David about facing our own giants in today's fractured world.

The story of the ten plagues reads like a typical Hollywood disaster movie, but it contains one of the most theologically problematic sentences in Scripture. What does it mean for God to harden Pharaoh's heart?

Christianity has become a mainstream religion in America, but sometimes we forget that our Scriptures are full of strange mythical creatures and bizarre monsters such as the Nephilim. Join Pastor Jen as she kicks off this new sermon series and invites us to embrace the weirdness of our faith.

We conclude our series by examining how we are able to accomplish so much more together. Let's continue our creative process by connecting with one another!

We could spend all day coming up to reasons not to create, but ultimately God invites us to set aside our hesitations and simply begin.

Guest preacher Rev. Wally Hoeger takes us back to the Sabbath commandment to remind us that part of the creative process is to make sure we PLAY!

Pastor Jacob comes out of the pulpit to talk about some serious community issues.

The story of Paul's non-linear mission path through Asia Minor and his chance encounter with Lydia teaches us that if our creative projects (including our lives) are not neat and tidy, we are doing them just right.

In our hurried, frenzied lives, it can be hard to pause and listen to the Holy Spirit's guidance. Today, may you take a breath, and create the space needed to be your most creative self.
