In this week's teaching, Josh sets the context for the Nicene Creed's teaching on the divinity of Jesus, and he encourages continued belief and trust in the lordship of Christ even in the midst of the tension of our lives and our world.

Rather than preaching a sermon on the divinity of Christ, we asked a few members to discuss the lordship of Jesus in their lives and what it means to confess, "We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ."

In this week's teaching on the Nicene Creed, Josh explores the ancient Near Eastern context of the creation account in Genesis 1. The big takeaways are *that* God created and that God is *still* creating through Christ.

In this week's teaching, Josh introduces the concept of God as Father. With all of the baggage (both positive and negative) that can be attached to this description, we need to reconstruct and recapture the beauty of this biblical metaphor, while also realizing that it cannot fully encapsulate who God is.

In this introductory teaching in our new series, "We Believe," Josh talks about the core beliefs of the Church as outlined in the Nicene Creed and the unity that may be achieved when we understand the inclusiveness embedded in its opening words, "We believe."

We asked our summer intern, Tim Steindl, to talk about the crucifixion this week. In his teaching, he focuses on three main themes in Mark's account: the humiliation and degradation of Jesus, the separation and pain he suffered while on the cross, and the symbolism of the tearing of the temple curtain at Jesus's death.
