Today we lean in and listen to Zechariah as he prophesies the peace for those willing to listen to his son, John. But are we willing to receive the gift of a non-anxious message of peace that Christ will bring? 

This morning we begin our advent series by pondering a peculiar text from Matthew's gospel about the coming of Christ. We must "be ready" and yet prepare ourselves with the illuminating hope of Christ's coming again.

We conclude our series by exploring Paul's prayer for the Ephesian church and his desire for their "strength with power through the Spirit." Join us as we discover why our gathering on Sunday is a place of great significance for the Spirit to empower us to form habits for our Christlikeness in the world.

This morning we join Jesus and listen as he empowers the seventy to "ask the Lord of the harvest" to send them out as "lambs into the midst of wolves." Join us as we learn how to do the "hard work" of discipleship and the dis-empowering rhythms of being sent into the world for His sake. 

Jesus did not just call disciples he empowered them for ministry. This morning we look at key moments in the gospel accounts and how Jesus empowered men and women for ministry in their world and time.

When Paul wrote his letters to the early disciples, he wrote to people who were struggling to get along and "work things out." This morning we look at Paul's plea to come together and submit to one another for the sake of shining like stars in the universe so their reconciled selves can serve the world around them.

Join us as we dive into one of the shortest yet most profound letters in the second testament: Paul's plea for a slave to return to his owner for the sake of reconciliation. Today we look at how the gospel can invite us to reframe our past and future life together.

Today we begin with Jesus and the Sermon on the Mount and explore how Jesus imagined disciples would reconcile with one another. Join us as we begin to unpack this difficult topic and learn from the one who turned relationships "upside down."

The writer of Acts tells us that when Peter and John were released from prison "the place they had prayed was shaken and they spoke the word of God with boldness." Join us as we discover how prayer fueled the courage of the early church and its witness.

This morning we take a step back into the ancient world of Nehemiah and learn how he took several months to pray and fast over the brokenness of the walls of Jerusalem. Join us as we notice his commitment and calling to a posture of earnest listening before action.
