This week, James charges us to remember not only that it is fundamental to God's character to give good gifts, but that it is our responsibility to give to God as God has given us. Christ invites us to join his great Dance, accepting which empowers us to give great gifts with immediacy, generosity, and freedom.

With so much to be discouraged about in our time, and with so many things to distract us, how should we respond when Christ gently warns us about the end that is to come? What sort of responsibility does such an awareness bestow upon us? Listen in as James meets us in our common doom and despair and invites us to see Christ there.

Continuing with outdoor services in October, James identifies the last of the identity paradoxes of St. Luke Medical District: Ancient & Contemporary. What does it mean to belong to an ancient tradition while maintaining responsibility to our own present context? Is there a way to live in this tension that honors the nuances of both contexts? The answer might just lie in an age-old horticultural discipline.

We continue our series on the Church as we move outdoors for the month! Join us as James reflects on the story of Jacob and the nature of the Church as people who can suffer the depths of darkness, experience healing, and walk with a limp as they suffer alongside others.
*We apologize for the ambient noise and intermittent sound issues. We are doing our best to figure out how to best produce our services outside!*

For this week's identity paradox for the Church, James explores how the community of Jesus followers has been called to be set apart for righteous living and also to be a celebratory people who enjoy festively and invite generously. What does that paradox look like in practice? Jesus' parable of the Prodigal Son paints a great portrait for us to consider.

James does a deep dive on the paradoxical call on the church to be active participants in the movement of God in the world while also being passive recipients of God's invitations to grace, transformation, and peace. How can we balance these two parts of the Christian life? How can we be both adventurous and bold while also resting in wait?

To kick off the Fall season, James begins a sermon series about The Church. Listen as James describes the nature of the people of God as those who are called simultaneously to come together and to go out from one another. James challenges us to embrace this paradox in order to become who we are meant to be.

Visiting with us from Restoration Church in Richardson, Kolby Kerr addresses what it truly means to "offer ourselves as a living sacrifice." Is it the daily rehearsal of the response to own adequacy or inadequacy? Or could it be God's invitation to participate in the story of the reality of his Kingdom all around us? Do we start with ourselves and proceed to God, or do we begin with God's righteousness and grace and find our true selves in his worship and glorification?
