It’s not enough to say “the Bible says…”. What’s important is how Jesus read and applied Scripture. Jesus often challenged the traditional reading and application of scripture in favor of a compassionate and life-giving posture. This is the hermeneutic that the first disciples employed as they navigated difficult subject matters. This is also how we are invited into our own discernment processes.

As we seek after the good gift of discernment we have to start and be constantly tethered to a fear of the Lord, obedience to Him, and a reverence for His image in others.

In this message, we explore learning to trust in the mystery of God’s love, which is so expansive that it is incomprehensible and yet lives inside of each of us and in all of our stories.

In this message, we look at how we can celebrate in times of doubt and unrest because of God's faithfulness to complete the work in us that He started.

If we are willing to be face to face with God, we might find that we also come face to face with ourselves, willing and able to be honest with ourselves with others, and with God. Jacob's wrestling was an honest one and God wants that from us. We are challenged to come and wrestle for the blessing. And then to walk with a new name and limp forever after, transformed.

This message on the book of Philemon explores the apostle Paul's view of a way of unity that's rooted in Christ.

I want to share stories about my personal journey towards loving others as I have also learned to love and accept myself. I've discovered that these things aren't mutually exclusive, but rather, they are intertwined. This has been difficult because it has forced me to uncover my own prejudices. Genesis tells us that God created the world as good and beautiful, and our own spiritual formation is about uncovering that beauty.

In Romans 14-15:13 we enter into a 1st-century debate plaguing Roman house churches regarding dietary restrictions. Paul instead of advocating for one side or the other invites both to the table where the shared costly fellowship will reflect God's glory to a world full of tribal divisiveness.

In this last message on our series Jesus and Women, we look at the story of Jesus and the woman caught in adultery.

In a context surrounded by storms, fear, and chaos, a remarkable woman who has been ill for twelve years shows us what faith in Jesus should look like.
