A Promise Delivered: Mighty God Through the birth of Jesus we learn that might will indeed make right - Jesus, our Mighty God, will make right the wrongs of this world in a kingdom that will last forever. This story is one worth (re-)considering because it can be our story… if we are willing to see ourselves in the pages.

Christmas Collective: Peace and Reconciliation Mother Theresa famously said, "The reason we do not have peace in this world is that we've forgotten that we belong to each other."  How does Christmas remind us of the truth that we belong to each other?

Promise: Wonderful Counselor Nearly everyone agrees that society and the world flourish under a ruler that was all knowing, all powerful AND especially all LOVING. We just don’t believe anyone fits this ideal description. We're quick to scoff at and dismiss the notion of a kind and benevolent King, because humanity has been down that road before - despite their promises, no political ruler in history has ruled that way. In our cynicism, we can also dismiss Jesus. But Jesus is that King. We simply misunderstand his strategy. His rule is different because his kingdom is unlike any kingdom we've ever seen, fathom or honestly can realize on our own. Listen as we (re-)consider just what is Jesus’ Kingdom strategy. 

Holy Waters: The Incarnational Life There is spiritual significance in everything - even doing the dishes and laundry. And we have a heavenly Father who delights in showing us that he is the God of the ordinary. This Sunday we conclude our series “Holy Waters: Six Streams of Christian Spirituality,” by looking at the place where all the other streams converge - the Incarnational Life.

Holy Waters: The Word Centered Life It can be easy to over-complicate sharing the gospel, and to miss the beautiful simplicity of inviting people to know Jesus Christ. We don’t need elaborate plans or sophisticated speeches. We need only love. This Sunday we explore how the good news message of Jesus Christ is at the heart of our faith tradition.

Holy Waters: The Compassionate Life Nothing is more at the heart of our discipleship to Jesus Christ than an ongoing, ever-deepening love relationship, which in turn compels us to seek the total transformation of people, institutions, and societies - the heartbeat of the Compassionate Life. This Sunday we will explore the Compassionate Life - the stream that combines suffering love with courageous action. 

Holy Waters: The Spirit-Empowered Life While the Virtuous Life centers upon the power to be, the Spirit-Empowered Life centers upon the power to do. However, these two streams are most healthy when they refuse to function independently of one another. This Sunday we feature a very important part two of last week’s message.

Holy Waters: The Virtuous Life As we develop consistent habits of prayer, things that used to tempt us away from God’s presence begin to lose their power over us. This is a wonderful reality to know, and it is the heart of the Virtuous Life.  This Sunday, we take a deeper look into this essential stream of Christian heritage.

Holy Waters: The Prayer-Filled Life This week, we are beginning a brand new series called “Holy Waters: the Six Streams of Christian Heritage.” We’ll be looking at the six  “streams,” or expressions, of the Christian faith tradition, beginning with the stream of the prayer-filled life - which is the steady gaze of the soul upon the God who loves us.

Misquoted: Seeking to Understand This week, we are bringing this series to a close with a very special worship gathering, reflecting on 2 Timothy 3:16,  “All Scripture is God-breathed…”Those five words have immense meaning, and lead to an amazing life-long journey of training together.
