Pastor Marcus shares some reflections, historically and personally, on living a life like Peter, and how we all have a really powerful calling.

During a tour to Israel, Pastor Danielle was a guest speaker at our home church in Jerusalem, Narkis Street Baptist Church. Here, she shares on the Parable of the Good Samaritan, and dives into Israel's history as context for Jesus's teaching.

Pastor Tom speaks to the radically rebellious nature of the Jesus movement, that we are to be different, in very transformative ways.

By taking a few snapshots of Paul's life, we get a glimpse into his full agenda, a personal transformation that had profound public influence.

While love is sometimes seen as perhaps the fount from which our faith flows, Pastor Danielle will argue here that it is actually the Resurrection that transforms everything, including how we love.

A Conversation with Dr. Diana Butler Bass, including Q&R from the audience.

Our special guest, Dr. Diana Butler Bass, shares how the Zacchaeus story illustrates Jesus's radical upending of the patron system of the first-century, causing gratitude to emerge in the heart of Zacchaeus.

Most popularly known about the story of Jonah is the big fish and the controversy (?) discussion (?) around the "miracle" or "myth" of that event. However, this story is far deeper, more profound and more convicting than that. It is more about the categories we put people in, and the challenge to love our enemies.

This is a very informal follow up conversation between Rabbi Ari and Pastor Danielle on a variety of questions about the book of Esther.

Our friend Rabbi Ari led us through the reading of the Megillah, the scroll of Esther. With song, and wit, we tell the story of hiddenness, irony, and redemption.
