This week's scripture: Luke 1v39-55

Advent opens with an emphasis on Jesus' return and the restoration of all things. It then ends with an everyday doing of God's will. This week Adam asks the question, are you animated by vocation? Reflecting on Mary's story, it becomes clear she had to be motivated by something other than her own will. How might God be inviting you to step toward vocation?

Being a portable church means Narrate relies on a community of people who show up to make the church a reality whether that's with set up, making coffee, greeting, singing in the band, or attending the service. We call these people "owners". Hear some of owners Chris and Amy Watson's story of their faith and decision to have all four of their children baptized this year.

This week's scripture: 
Luke 3v1-6

In the second week of Advent, Adam explores the question, what if Advent, as with any season of fasting, is predicated upon you being too busy for God, not God being unavailable to you?

This week's scripture:
Luke 21v25-36

Adam digs into the first week of Advent. What if Advent reminds us we're called to be people of hope, especially hope in the midst of a lot of crud?
What if we all live from calendars and the church calendar exists to form us in an unhurried, non-anxious way?

This week's scripture: 
Psalm 132v1-12
Exodus 2-3v12

This week Adam explores how Moses is yet another person who started by telling God how he wanted to serve him, but in the end learned to surrender to God's call for him. The same could be said for Job, Mary, John the Baptist, Stephen in Acts, the disciples, Elizabeth, and a host of others. All, in the end, learned to allow God to do the sending and develop the strategy. What if God has a long, glorious history of calling people to live lives other than their first choice?
