Genesis 5:1–31In some strange way, Christians tend to confuse death with life. This week we explore why that is, and how Jesus invites us to think about death.

Isaiah 54:10God is an infinite and diverse being that we are unable to capture in a single description. So Christian scriptures and tradition have employed a variety of metaphors to help us understand God and God's relationship with us. This morning we look at one of the oft ignored metaphors revealing a God who bears suffering because of deep love for us.

John 3:16–31Taking the scriptures seriously means wrestling with the reality of God's wrath. But if we will, we will often find something shockingly hopeful and redemptive.

Luke16:19-31What do the scriptures really say about hell if we take them seriously? And more importantly, what sort of picture does this paint of the God we serve and worship? And what sort of damage has this done to those outside the church, but also to those within?

Luke 24:36-53What happens when we die but before the resurrection? Does Jesus talk about this at all and how might this change the way we live now?

Mark 1:1-15I think our misunderstanding of heaven, hell and the afterlife has hijacked what it means to follow Jesus. The Good News of Jesus seems to have shockingly little to death with heaven, or hell. And that makes a huge difference.

John 20:1-18 We could all use some good news, but the good news of Easter isn't just good news for the future, it is good news for right here and now.

Matthew 21:1-11Many of us have come to believe our bodies are bad, or at least neutral containers of the real us. But Jesus shows us something radically different, inviting us into a far richer and more holistic understanding of our selves as bodies.

Matthew 4:1-11The Scriptures played a key role in the life of Jesus and in the life of God's people for centuries. Is there a way for us to move beyond some of the abusive, simplistic, and cynical ways we relate to the Scriptures in order to recover something redemptive? I think so.

Matthew 12:46-50If we are made for love then our relationships are vital to our spiritual life. But what does redemptive, Jesus centered community look like?
