⏳ Advent 4 - Biblical Manhood with Shel Boese

“When male pastors call on us to recover something called “biblical manhood,” I suspect they’re not thinking of the silent, loyal Joseph submitting himself humbly to his wife’s God-given calling” -Michael Frost. On this fourth Sunday of Advent, we read one of the classic accounts of the birth of Jesus, and zoom in on Joseph—a model of openness and maturity in the face of cultural pressure and his own expectations.

December 11, 2022 ⏳ Advent 3 - Santa Claus or St. Nicholas? with Shel Boese
⏳ Advent 3 - Santa Claus or St. Nicholas? with Shel Boese

This time of year images of Santa Claus appear and those in more culturally Christian areas speak of the "war over Christmas". But the war over Christmas really began in the Reformation, 500 some years ago when the church fought through many issues, deciding Christmas needed to go. In our desire for justice, we can go overboard—making the cure worse than the disease, killing things that can be redeemed, and forgetting continual negative posture brings no one joy. Justice and joy can hold hands!

December 04, 2022 Advent 2 - Wage Peace with Shel Boese
⏳ Advent 2 - Wage Peace with Shel Boese

NT Wright notes, "There is no insight, no vision of truth, so noble and lofty that it cannot be perverted and made an instrument of human pride. Likewise, there is no small glimmer of light, no faint echo of reality, so small or corrupt that it cannot be taken into the service of the world's creator and rightful Lord...All truth is God's truth."
The Peace Jesus brings is not passive—it calls us into action and satisfies our hearts' longings. But we do wage a battle with various ideologies wanting to claim us vs. the way of Jesus. How do we fight these battles? Paul gives us some insights we will learn this Sunday.

November 27, 2022 ⏳ Advent 1 - Giving Hope with Shel Boese
⏳ Advent 1 - Giving Hope with Shel Boese
Giving produces hope in others and it changes the giver. The principle of synergy is woven throughout the Biblical story. God wants co-workers, mini-creators with Him. You have been given the ability to affect new life and bring uniqueness into the world. The church is a creative community working for not only the undoing of harm through healing, but the creative stirring up of gifts and innovation. God is able and is an enabler, in the BEST sense.

👑 Christ the King with Josh Liem
Do you feel scattered, anxious, or at a loss for how to cope with news about unrest and executions in Iran, or the mental health, housing, and opioid crisis in Vancouver, or paying bills amidst the third recession in three decades? The kings and kingdoms of this world will offer you solutions in exchange for your allegiance, but it is only Christ the Shepherd/Pantocrator/Crucified King that can promise true and lasting justice, peace, and hope.

November 13, 2022 📅 God's Time - The Gift of a New Calendar with Shel Boese
📅 God's Time - The Gift of a New Calendar
How do you mark time in your life? While we are called to stay awake in the present to experience God’s presence, we’re also called to remember in unique ways. Remembering, helps you understand where you are right now. But the calendar you keep shows what is important. Christians are invited not to get our worth in what we produce or consume, but in being beloved by a God who entered time and is moving us onward.

In our Second Corinthian Series, Paul's second letter to the Corinthians, he shares his plans for poverty relief. This touches on themes of careful planning, authority, churches working together, financial accountability, and how structure—while not the main focus—can be important to apply in our own lives and community organizations

October 30, 2022 🌹 Brad Jersak at Pilgrim Church
🌹 Brad Jersak at Pilgrim Church
Many people in deconstruction never had the benefit of experiencing God as real to them. He was an idea or ideology or theology or, at best, an old story feebly held together by scaffolding of apologetics and indoctrination. When life showed up with experiences their construct couldn’t bear, their faith crumbled with it. Those for whom God is real to them have generally had an experience of hearing God’s voice.

How can we as a faith community facilitate that in ways that “count” across temperaments and even beyond bounded-set Christianity?

How does God become real for us? When God talks back in a myriad of ways.

I've heard of a 'personal relationship', so when does it become personal or relational? When we learn how to hear God's voice!

🎧 HEARING GOD: The Contemplative Path to Hearing—In his new book Analog Christian, Jay Kim compared how society viewed cigarette smoking in the past to how we are blinded by the ways technology is harming us today, with study after study revealing the self-centric digital world decreasing contentment, resilience, and wisdom. (Digital Smoke, Analog Air).
We're relearning how to use neglected muscles and to breathe clean air—healing air— and exploring the contemplative path to hearing.
