The ceremony of the Red Heifer of Numbers 19 is perplexing and mysterious. Most recognize there's a paradox of clean and unclean switching places. In this talk, we consider what this may mean for the evolution of this ancient religion, and a grounding ethic for the faith that has emerged.

The rebellion of Korach leaves many questions...unanswered. Regardless, we still have a responsibility, to ourselves, to our community, and to our God.

During the teaching time of our Sparkiversary Party, we took some time to simply remember, and honor the work that God has been doing in and through this amazing community. We then invite you to join us in living The Way of Jesus.

In chapter 15 the Israelites are commanded to make "tassels" and put them on the "fringes" of their garments. In this teaching, Pastor Danielle is joined with Rabbi Ari to help explain why.

The story of sibling rivalry is a lesson in how to redeem difficult and challenging relationships with the most difficult people in the world with whom to reconcile, our family.

Do we want God's blessing, provision, and goodness without God's judgment? We pick up on our series in Numbers that we began a while ago to dive deeper into these questions and lessons from the desert.

One of our young adult Sparkers discusses his upbringing, journey through education and creative work.

The follow-up live public conversation Q&R (Question & Response) time.

From birth control and abortion, to sexual harassment and sex education, R. Marie Griffith's most recent work Moral Combat is a sweeping historical account of the people and ideas that shaped how American Christianity taught, lived, and legislated sex over the last hundred years. We have asked Dr. Griffith to come share on the topic "Moral Combat: How Sex Formed and Fractured American Christianity" to help us better understand Christianity's past ideas of sex in relation with power, gender, race, education, etc. Perhaps we can then forge a redemptive and life giving way forward.
