God vs King

The nation of Israel wanted to be like all of the nations around them.  They didn't want to follow God's lead; they wanted a flesh-and-blood king.  The argument between Samuel and the people might have been short-lived, but the consequences reverberated for generations to come.

Imagining the Kingdom

People come to church for different reasons, but regardless of why we walk through the doors, we are all invited to stand together and imagine a world infused with the presence of God. What does that world look like, and how can we learn to live so that this world of ours begins to look more like the one we imagine?

Luke 8:22-32

Why do people continue to walk through the doors of a church? For some, it’s a restlessness in the soul that pushes them to seek out help, support, or guidance from a community of faith.
