We continue to learn about spiritual practices that make up our Rule of Life by looking at Jesus’ longest prayer in John 17:1-18. Through a mix of teaching and reflection, Karli Baldwin invites us to note the blessings and battles of Jesus. The video shown at 19:01, which we weren't able to capture the audio from, can be seen here.

This week, we were invited to consider the spiritual practice of reconciliation through guest speakers, Gordie Lagore and Frances Carlick. Gordie shared how the church community of Vancouver Eastside Vineyard Church learned to partner with God in reconciliation with communities of Lower Post, BC. Recorded July 31, 2023 - we apologize for the poor sound quality.

This week we begin our annual summer Rule of Life series as we teach and explore practices that help us become people that look like Jesus. Teaching from The Lord’s Prayer in the gospel of Luke, Pastor Mitch Claassen encourages us to see how a life of prayer modelled by Jesus satisfies our deepest longings and allows us to be refreshed in our identities and the vision of what God is doing in the world. Originally recorded July 16, 2023.

In the final teaching in our series on extending the table, we return to Luke 10 to learn how Jesus sends his disciples. In this message, we learn about the character that we are to have as guests and how God invites us to communicate about his kingdom in both action and word. Recorded July 9, 2023.

This week, we focus on the third and final table - the half circle of mission in the world - as we continue on in our series on the extension of God’s presence through the table. In this teaching, we begin to look at Jesus’ invitation to mission in Luke 10 by focusing on the calling and context of mission. This is the first in a two part teaching and was recorded July 2, 2023.

This week, we continue in our series about tables by looking at how we can extend the communion / close table into our homes by taking the role of host. We learn from the story of the feeding of the 5000 how Jesus invites into the role of host by being grateful, asking what we have to give and by focusing on the presence of Jesus. Recorded June 25, 2023.

This week we continue to look at Jesus' words to the disciples at the first Lord's Supper recorded in Luke 22. We see a surprising turn in the conversation and how Jesus' can renew and correct our stories around the close table. Recorded June 18, 2023.

In this teaching, we begin to look at the close table that Jesus sets for his followers in Luke 22. Here we learn the setting for the table as story, the invitation to find our place with the story, and that Jesus is at the center of the table as present, host and partner. This is part 1 of 2 on the close table, originally recorded June 11, 2023.

In this week's teaching, we begin to look at one of the surprising practices of the early church: breaking bread together around the table. We also begin to explore how this table fellowship extends from our weekly gatherings to our homes into the world. Recorded June 4, 2023.

This week, Mitch Claassen walks us through Acts 2 to see and learn how the early church created space for God’s presence. Together we learn how to prepare ourselves internally and externally to meet with God and His people. Recorded May 28, 2023.
