  • Starting Points: “Examining The Chaos” - Jordan Czichos

    Our idea of who God is comes from sitting in the places God has sat - the dark as well as the light. We need to recognize balance, that God’s radiance of love is a light that illuminates the most in the darkness. That illumination is how we’re able to understand God.

    Genesis 1: 1-5

  • Behold: "To The Ends Of The Earth" - Andy Nixon

    Andy discusses a passage where God sends us out to bring peace to the world - something that's important because, as he notes, “We’re not very good at creating our own peace.” And a lesson he learned from a 91-year-old friend about how God gets him out of bed in the morning.

    Micah 5:3-5a

  • Thy Kingdom Come: “Shalom On Earth” - Ken Coneby

    We are surrounded by people living in emergency at all times, and it wears people out, it destroys their soul.

    Long Description: Today’s verse in Isaiah speaks to a people who were living lives of constant fear and impulse. Ken talks about how little has changed - but how much needs to.

    Isaiah 9:6

    For to us a child is born,
    to us a son is given,
    and the government will be on his shoulders.
    And he will be called
    Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God,
    Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.

  • Thy Kingdom Come: "Mercy" - Amanda Davis

    Today’s scripture is a parable - a lesson on how to short-circuit our tendency to want to get back at those who have hurt us.

    We constantly wander off and come back again, and each time Christ releases us from our debts. And we have to go out into the world and share that same mercy.

    Matthew 18:21-35

  • Thy Kingdom Come: “Justice” - Ken Coneby

    Ken launches our Missions series with a call to conviction - a reminder that being convicted is just a brief moment, but we are required to take that moment. In order to recognize justice, we have to be convicted of our own guilt, and to take some time to actually sit with it.

    The world is unfair to so many, and Ken reminds us how easy it is to ignore that. “So many times we just play the game of the world and assume it’s not keeping down the people around us.” That oversight keeps us not just from God’s truth, but from the world’s restoration.
