1 Cor. 15: 3-4, 21-22

Elder and Mars Hill community member shares about his personal perspective on the power and significance of Jesus Christ's resurrection.

1 Peter 3:18-19

"There is no line in the creed more misunderstood and more neglected than this one," writes author Michael F. Bird. We explore the significance of Jesus' continued descent to the dead, what that means for us, and why this understanding is so crucial to further illuminating the power of Christ's resurrection.

Matthew 27:11

The Creed invites us to consider that following Jesus can mean following him into suffering, persecution and even death. 

Luke 1, Matthew 1, Gen 1, Mark 10

In the incarnation and birth of Jesus, God is doing something unique in history... and also offering to do something profoundly new in us! Where might the Holy Spirit want to bring new life in your life?

Matthew 16:13-16

What’s in a name? In week 3 exploring the Apostles’ Creed, we dive into the phrase: “and Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord,” re-capturing the weight of the name of Jesus and talking about why it’s worthy of our worship.

Nehemiah 9:5b-6

This teaching invites all to consider an "inverted" understanding of calling God "Almighty." It also highlights three possible temptations if one does not take seriously the claim that God is the Maker of heaven and earth.

Ephesians 3:14,20-21

Zechariah 8:20-23

The nations notice what God's people are up to and they want to be a part of it. They cling to the hem of the garment because God's people live a communal life that reflects the God to Whom they cling. All of this happens because God dwells within creation and so heaven and earth overlap. 

Zechariah 7:1-14

We cannot ignore God's anger in response to His people in the book of Zechariah. How might we receive a greater understanding of God's wrath and judgment in the context of covenant and justice, not just consequence? What might God want to mend: in us and in relationship with Godself and one another?

Zechariah 8, Isaiah 55, Psalm 126

God is restoring [and re-storying] us, inviting our participation in the restoration of all things, especially as we surrender our pain, expectations and anxieties over to God.
