Genesis 2v25-3v7with Jonny Morrison

From creation to chaos, the early chapters of Genesis reveal a God who consistently resists domination, limits violence, and works toward healing through relationship, not force. In these opening pages, we are given a vision of God’s intention for the world — a life of image-bearing, shalom, and mutuality, where humanity lives in right relationship with God, one another, and all creation. Even when humanity fractures the world, God responds not with annihilation, but with covenant and grace — a story that reaches its climax in Jesus, where what began at a tree is healed on the cross, and in the resurrection, we taste the first fruits of the renewal of all creation.

A panel discussion on image bearing as part of our Genesis series with 3 members of the Missio community - Becker Bullard, Lauren Cole, and Jordan Moss.

In this community night we introduce our community initiative. We hear from two members of the community, Kait Garcia and Josh Craner about the nonprofits that they are doing important work with.

Note: The first 5 minutes were missed due to technical difficulties.

John 18v33-38 with Phil Hughes

Christians often inherit words before they inherit meaning. Over time, essential gospel language becomes distorted, weaponized, moralized, or flattened. In our Lenten series, we're taking time to to slow down, return to Scripture, and recover the life-giving, Jesus-centered meaning of the words we use to describe God, ourselves, and the work of salvation.
