John's introduction in Chapter 1.1-18 is beautiful, poetic, mysterious and shows you he has so much depth in his writing. In these verses, John really wants to declare that Jesus is God. We've probably heard this claim. But do we live as if we believe this claim? This week Jeff wrestles with the idea of Jesus' divinity and what believing really means for us.

Jesus invites his disciples to come and see. We often think of this as intellectual knowledge and understanding. But what if what Jesus was inviting his disciples, and now us, into was something far more than information? Tune in to hear Catherine preach on John 1.35-51.

In the last week of the year, we love to give seniors a chance to share what God has done in their life through their time in XA, as well as pass on the baton for those returning next year. After our 5 grads share, Jeff concludes with a quick word about celebration.

The year is about to end, what will you do as you transition to summer? You've grown in Christ, life is different. How will you respond to all of this? Tune in to hear Catherine preach from themes of the exile and how they shape us and prepare us as we go home.

This week pastor Caitlin preaches from Colossians 3 about work, integrity and the lure to find an easy way instead of working as for the Lord himself. Cheating is easy as a college student in our online world, but what is God's heart behind all of this?

This week Rachel takes us through a classic scenario of dealing with frustrating professors. As followers of Jesus, what is our response to authority? What about bad authority? Have you ever struggled to love and honor while also confronting people in authority? Listen is as Rachel brings out wisdom from Numbers 12.

This week Jeff preaches from Romans 12.9-21 as well as 1 Samuel 24-26. God offers us a whole new way to respond to people when it is difficult or they are being difficult - do good! Bless! Be a peace! This is hard and we need each other to continue to grow in Godliness. Which is why Abigail is such a great example for us.

You are going to mess up a situation, and thats gonna put you in a situation where you will need to respond well. But if we're honest, we'd rather be so prepared that we never even make a mistake and pretend we never have! Tune in this week to hear Catherine preach from Genesis 3 on how we can't control the situations and avoid messes, but we have a good God who clothes us and gives us hope, even as we walk through our messes.

This week, during Holy week, Caitlin preaches from 1 Thessalonians 4 where Paul reminds us that as believers we do grieve, but we do so with hope. Tune in this week as we make room for the grief we all carry and we also welcome in Jesus, the grief master who knows how to mourn with those who mourn.

This week Jeff traces the biblical message for men and women as co-rulers and co-heirs. Many people have many things to say about what role women play in society, in marriage and in the mission of the church. Whatever your views are, it is vitally important to ask, "what is your starting point?"
