Kainos Church PDX

Jake helps us examine the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5:8-9 “Blessed are the pure in heart” and “Blessed are the peacemakers.” We think through what these values would have meant to Jesus’ original audience and how they can encourage and challenge us in our context today.

Jake leads us through a discussion of our next Beatitudes: “Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they shall be satisfied” and “Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy.”

Madison leads us through the story of Jesus’ resurrection from John 20, focusing on Mary Magdalene’s perspective and the “Gardener God” who conquered the grave!

Jake teaches as we continue our study of the Beatitudes together, with “Blessed are those who mourn.”

Jake introduces our passage of Scripture for the year, “The Beatitudes” before diving into the first line “Blessed are the Poor in Spirit.”

Jake teaches through the Christmas story, as we reflect on the pain, grief and loneliness of the 1st Christmas, as well as the beauty and holiness of the Advent season.

As Kainos concludes a 3+ year journey reading from Genesis 1 to Revelation 22, Madison leads us through the Biblical theme of God bringing order to the chaos of the world.

Kainos is celebrating our 3rd anniversary as a church community, so we took some time to reflect on the past years and look ahead at the year to come! Then, as we conclude a 3 year journey through the whole Bible, we begin a conversation about the final book, Revelation, learning about its genre and the different ways Christians have viewed it throughout history.

Jake is joined by Luke Gomes, senior at King’s Way High School, as they unpack the book of James and how we can apply the wisdom of Jesus to our lives today.
