Life Around the Table: Breaking Bread Together - The Table Fellowship

We continue our series called Life Around The Table by exploring the concept of table fellowship in the life and ministry of Jesus and in the early church. I think you will be surprised with how significant table fellowship is throughout Scripture. I also discuss a little bit about why we choose to do it the way we do it from a more cultural and missional perspective.

This week, we take a look at the core value of prayer. It is hard to turn the page of the Bible without running into someone praying. It is the default response for those following Jesus in this wild world. If you struggle to pray, get confused about how to pray, find yourself frustrated in praying, or want to know how to deepen prayer life with God, this message will be really relevant. More broadly, this is an area that we really hope to further develop in the life of our congregation.

This Sunday, we look at our first fore value: Being devoted to Jesus and his teachings. We are not a religion organized around a set of principles but rather a person. We believe that devotion to Jesus connects to the life for which we were created. Jesus himself says that his words give life and that when we abide and obey, our joy will be complete. This Sunday, we explore what it means to devote ourselves to Jesus and his teachings as a learning community.

Life Around the Table

This week we begin a brand new series called Life around the Table. We are taking a close look at who we are as church family. For the last few years, Our church has gone through several changes: We have moved spaces, joined two churches together, went through COVID, and a host of other things. In and through all of this, we believe that God has revealed to us certain things about our church that really define who we are and where we are going. This Sunday we take a look at our mission statement and talk about what it looks like to embody it as a church family.

Last week in our series, "The Story of God" we talked about the portion of the story where redemption through Israel is revealed, redemption is completed in Jesus, and redemption is proclaimed by the Church. As we continue in our series, we explore the proclamation of this redemption by the Church. Specifically, we talk about the portion of the story that we live in right here and right now (ordinary time). To do this we explore redemptive images of Jesus and The Church found in Scripture.

Our Series on the Story of God continues. We will look at how redemption was launched in and through Israel in the Old Testament and what in the world that has to do with you. Knowing how Israel fits into our own faith story is essential if we are to make sense of what God has been up to. We will find much encouragement by discovering the relationship between Israel, Jesus, and the Church.

The Story of God

We are continuing our series called the Story of God where we are looking at the four major chapters in which scripture could be divided: Creation, the Fall, Redemption, and Restoration.

This week will be taking a look at the Fall and exploring why things are the way they are in the world and what God is doing and has done to deal with it. It is incredibly important that Christians know how to talk about the reality and implications of sin, precisely because it's been so misused and abused as a term. We will talk about how to talk about sin and make sense of it in light of the broad story we find in Scripture.

The Story of God

This week we are looking at Genesis 2 and the image of God in humans. We hear 'image of God' quite a bit, but what do we actually mean when we say it and what does Scripture teach us about the significance of being created in God's image? We will dive into questions like this and more.

Series: The Story of God

This week, we're going to talk a little bit about how to best tell the story of Jesus to those around us.
