The Parish Podcast

This morning we enter Acts 3-4 in a new way as Sarah tells the story and asks us simple questions in response. As you hear the story, consider these questions:

What did you like about this story?

What bothered you or confused you about this story?

What does this story show you about God/Jesus?

What does this story show you about people?

If this story is really true how does it change you?

Who in your life needs to hear this story?

Jesus says, as the Father sent me, so I send you.’ What does it mean to be sent by Jesus into the world, and how do we go in the same manner that he was sent?

We look at the final part of Paul’s pattern for formation into the image of Christ - 'put on therefore.’ How can we cooperate with God to be clothed in the image of Christ? We explore three ways: restorying, forbearance, and forgiveness.

We explore the third part of Paul’s pattern for formation into the image of Christ - 'put off therefore.’ In light of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit at Pentecost, what lesser ways of being no longer belong in our lives? And how can we practically cooperate with God to do for Jesus’ sake what we formerly did for our own? Plus, some thoughts on the “wrath of God”.

As community this morning we walk through the story of Jesus' Ascension and the coming of the Holy Spirit. The gathering and podcast are unique for this post, in that it is a full service recording with music and teaching.

We continue exploring Easter's implications for ordinary life using a pattern found in Paul's letters: first since we died and now that we have been raised.

This Sunday we begin exploring Easter's implications for ordinary life using a pattern of spiritual formation found in Paul's letters.

In this podcast, Andy Culp (senior warden of The Parish Vestry) introduces "Parish Night: Our story & the Next Chapters," provides a church financial update, and gives an important announcement about our next steps for our staff team.

Jordan reflects on the baptism of Jesus in light of the Easter event, and how we are carried with Jesus through our own baptisms.

On a Spring Day in AD 30, two parades entered Jerusalem from opposite sides of town. Both were on the way to the temple, but the way they embodied could not have been more different.
