The Branch

In 1 Peter 4, Peter talks about how we are called to live as Christians and the ramifications of what happens when we speak as Christians. We are called to live differently.

In light of the cross of Jesus, how do we suffer? Peter encourages early Christians that in their suffering, they are like Jesus and challenges them to act like him in that suffering as well.

Peter's charge to the early Christians was to submission because submission aligned them with Jesus. We see Christ's example of submission to the Father as we head into Holy Week hear this same call to submission for our lives.

Peter reminds the early church that God is building a new kind of temple with Jesus as the chief cornerstone. This spiritual building is a representative of Christ to the world.

This is the first episode in our series through 1 Peter. In 1 Peter 1, Peter encourages his readers to consider who they have been created to be.

In this episode, we walk through the mission and vision of The Branch to remind ourselves of what we have been called to as believers; focusing on rest, and how all else flows out of intentional time resting with the Father.

In this episode, we close out our Christoformity series and look at how Jesus trusts the Father in Mark 14:32-42 and how we are called to imitate Christ.

Through the lens Mark 10:42-45 and John 13:1-17, we look at how Jesus serves and how Jesus embraces both authority and vulnerability.

In this episode, we look at how Jesus advocates for those in the margins in Matthew 18:2-5 and 19:13-14. We learn how to become more like Christ by advocating for others in the second episode of our series on Christoformity.

In this first episode discussing Christoformity, we look at forgiveness, how Jesus forgives, and how it is a gift to us from God. Jesus demonstrates forgiveness on the cross in Luke 23:32-43.
