Sunday March 8th marks one full year that Sojourn Grace Collective has been meeting together. On this special day we heard from our five Ministry Team members as they reflect on what it's been like to start Sojourn. Colby also gives a recap of what our first year together looked like.

Our planet actually produces enough food to feed the almost 8 Billion people who live here. And yet, 1 in 8 people go to bed every night without enough food for their body to function properly. In this message, Colby dives in to the Brokenness of Hunger, and presents a challenge to the people at Sojourn to raise their awareness and move in to action. For more on that, visit The Five Dollar Challenge.

Last week Colby shared 9 Marks, or signs, that a church is heading in a healthy and positive direction. During that service the church took a survey to grade how well Sojo is doing with each Mark. For this Sunday, Colby shares Sojo's grades as well as sharing his own thoughts. (Also during the service we engaged in our Series Ending Discussion, where people share their thoughts and questions relating to the previous Sundays. However we didn't include the audio for that because you could not hear people as they shared.)

Disheartened with the organization 9marks.org's "9 Marks of a Healthy Church," Chris Seay (pastor at Ecclesia Church in Houston) presented his thoughts on what makes for a healthy church at Christianity 21, a conference held in Phoenix a couple weeks back. Colby found resonance with Chris' list, and in this sermon he unpacks them and asks the church to weigh in on how well we are doing with hitting these marks. (Also featured, a Faith Formation Story from Sarah Nichter).

The landscape of America has shifted pretty radically over the past 100, 50, 20, even 10 years. Churches have struggled to adapt and stay afloat. Here at Sojourn, we are determined that the Way of Jesus, and Kingdom living, are not only still relevant for today, but are desperately needed.

The final part of our three-week effort to look back in 2014 so that we might look forward in 2015 ends with the subject of forgiveness. Who were the people who might have wounded you in 2014? And what might that look like to move towards forgiveness?
