October 06, 2024 The Parables | The Rich Man, Lazarus, and the Power of Hades [Kevin Neuner]
The depiction of the "after life" in the Parable of the Rich Man and Lazarus has had an outsized influence in the consciousness of Christians for millennia. Visceral images of a chasm, flames, and the description of agony have so captivated the imagination that principal to many Christian theologies is the avoidance of such a place. But is hell the point? Is avoiding eternal punishment the principle?

September 29, 2024 The Parables | Seeds, Pearls, and Treasures [Danielle Parish]
Jesus says the Kingdom of God is like a seed, like yeast, a pearl ... a treasure. It is productive, it is rare, it is valuable. It must be pursued, found, and nurtured.

September 22, 2024 The Parables | The Parable of the Sower (Or, "The Parable of Parables") [Kevin Neuner]
Parables are told so our ears and hearts are exposed to the teachings. The teachings are given so we understand deeper realities. And understanding deeper realities opens us to the possibility of life, and, in the words of Jesus, "life abundant!" But all of that depends upon the soil in which the teachings are planted.

September 15, 2024 The Parables | The Other Is My Brother [Danielle Parish]
Jesus' parables paint pictures of what the world is, what it should be and how we are to live in it. When the world tries to divide us, the way of Jesus is clear, we are to love ALL of our neighbors. Jesus' teaching on the Good Samaritan is one of the most brilliant of Jesus' parables and goes well beyond just helping someone along the road.

September 01, 2024 Who Do You Say I Am? | Jesus is Lord [Danielle Parish]
We've been asking the question, "Who do the Gospel writers say Jesus is?" From Son of Adam, to Son of David, to a prophet like Moses and Elijah, to Friend & Savior, we've explored these themes in depth. We conclude our series and look closely at the Gospel's declaration that Jesus is LORD.

The Spirit of Justice uncovers the enduring power of faith and resistance in the fight for racial equality. Brave individuals throughout American history stood against racial injustice, and major movements were inspired and upheld by a deep and profound faith. As a result, significant changes were made manifest in society, and through discovering and retelling their stories we will be inspired to continue the ongoing journey towards justice.

August 18, 2024 Who Do You Say I Am? | Lamb Of God [Omair Akhtar]
When John the Baptist announces the launch of his cousin Jesus’ ministry, he introduces Jesus as, “the Lamb of God who takes away the sins of the world!” How does that work? In what way does Jesus being ‘God’s lamb’ translate into forgiveness of our sins? From the beginning, the Church has embraced the joys and pains that come from grappling with that question, the navigation of our “theories of atonement”, which often say more about our own sense of justice than God’s.
