If the story of Jesus is the story of God's radical embrace of all people, what do we do about our natural tendency to exclude those who don't belong?

America's founders sought to relegate the Church's power to mere "opinions," stuffing it into a box of irrelevance. But what if opened that box and asked how Jesus might want us to vote?

There's an old, old story about a box... one that unleashes all manner of suffering on earth. The Genesis account of sin, while it has some similarities, is different—and points the way to a more hopeful future.

If we come to Scripture with honest questions about who God wants to lead our political systems, we might be surprised by the answers.

Conspiratorial thinking seduces us with ideas that sound almost Christian—but really aren't. Pastor Jon sketches out three ways we can resist the allure of deceptive ideas and instead discover the Jesus' truth, which sets us free.

Imprisoned on death row, Paul is thinking about the unity of the church in Philippi. What can we learn from their disagreements?

Is Paul serious when he tells Christians to "work out our own salvation"? What's the relationship between God's work and our work? Thinking through that apparent tension might help us to "shine like stars in the world."

Over four months into the worst pandemic the world has seen in a century, many of us are asking... how did it come to this? Working through that question, we might find ourselves in good company, standing shoulder to shoulder with one of the most influential followers of Jesus in history—Paul of Tarsus.

In one of the most astonishing passages of the New Testament, Paul describes Jesus —the true ruler of the universe—choosing to voluntary empty himself of his natural rights and privileges. This radical humility is a stunning rebuke to the social structures of Paul's day... and possibly ours, too.

Incarcerated as a political prisoner, Paul encourages Christians in Philippi to "exercise their citizenship." But very few of them were, in fact, citizens. What kind of rebellion is Paul trying to foment here?
