New Creation Albuquerque

Jesus calls us to move from independence to interdependence, from building our own empire to being a part of his kingdom movement. We are to be a people of open hands, serving one another in love with the time, talent and treasure that God has given us.

As we pick up our plates, we put down our divisions. Jesus was and is at work among us as we gather around the table, turning the world upside down. Around the table, the kingdom of God breaks through and separation, hostility and division are turned upside down. All are welcome, all can be forgiven, and all will be restored. The Stranger becomes friend, friend becomes family and family becomes empowered for mission.

So often, the lens through which we look at others is that of hostility, suspicion and competition. Jesus calls us to move from hostility to hospitality. We are called to create spaces of welcome that enable strangers to become friends, rather than enemies.

We kick off our series on Open Rhythms by looking at biblical hospitality. As followers of Jesus we are called to create spaces of welcome in which the presence of Jesus can be known and experienced. This love and welcome is not only for those we know, but is also for the stranger.

Join in on our celebration of God's faithfulness during our first year of living church life as a weekly rhythm of loving God, one another and our neighbors. We will look at Philippians 1:3-11, as we celebrate family on mission and all the partners we share in the proclamation of Good News.

What difference does Advent, God's coming to us, make in death and our grieving?

God has moved into our neighborhood. The Incarnation is a comforting truth in which to believe and a stunning example for how we are to live. God is most fully known through Jesus, and Jesus is known in the world through his people. Jesus is God with us who sends us.

The Good News has the power to transform us and the world from the inside out. How do we appropriate it? This wraps up our series on the Gospel in 1, 3 and 30 words! We'll look at Ephesians 2:8-10, and learn what it looks like to trust in and receive the greatest gift.

Jesus is God with us so that we can share in God's life. We are meant to live in loving and fruitful relationship with God. When we follow Jesus, we are given a new family on a new mission. The result: New Creation!

The good news is not only that we have been saved FROM the bondage of sin, Satan, and death, but that we have been saved TO new life and mission in God's Kingdom here, now and forever.
