This week, we are in between series. So, we will take a few moments and talk about the ‘little song book of the Bible” the Psalms. We will explore how Psalms 1 acts as a forward or preface to the entire collection and about the basic question it poses to us. Our main passages this week come from Psalms 1.

This week, we are in between series. So, we take some time to expand upon a point from last week—Moses at the burning bush. We examine just how significant it is that God told Moses the Divine Personal Name—how that shifts the relational dynamic, and what that means for us today. Our main passages this week come from Exodus 3:11-14.

This week we wrap up our summer series “Theater and Theology” by looking at the movie Encanto. We look at the idea that Mirabel's story closely parallels the Moses story. We look at how each overcomes obstacles in order to save their family. Then we ask how can we mirror this same courage and way to live? Our main passages this week come from Exodus 2 and 5.

This week we continue our summer series “Theater and Theology” by looking at the movie Avengers: Infinity War. We explore the idea of what was Jesus’ death like for God the Father. What conflicting emotions were at play. How can we make time for God, time to genuinely listen to God. Our main passages this week come from Isaiah 53 and 59.

This week we continue our summer series “Theater and Theology” by looking at the movie Fight Club. We explore the idea that Fight Club is modern retelling of the Book of Ecclesiastes. Both the main characters in the movie and the Narrator of Ecclesiastes struggle with the question of finding happiness in a broken world. We ask ourselves the question, ‘can we truly find happiness outside of God?’

This week, continue our summer series, Theater and Theology, by looking at The Martian. This movie is about a group of people banding together to save one person. It shows how none of them could do it on their own, it is only when they set differences aside can they make a true difference. We liken that idea to the church—how the kingdom of God is spread through us putting our own individual egos aside and uniting under the idea of love. Our main passage this week is Luke 15:1-7.

This week, continue our Summer Series, Theater and Theology, by looking at The Haunting of Hill House. This story explores the idea of desire and what happens when good intentioned desires take over our lives. Hill House uses the Red Room against people, turning it into whatever would keep them pacify sitting in the house. The question becomes what would the Red Room turn into for you and how can we make sure Christ is our Treasure so that evil cannot use our desire against us? Our main passage this week is Luke 12:29-34.

This week, continue our Summer Series, Theater and Theology, where we examine deep Biblical themes in some of our favorite movies, by looking at Frozen 2. We examine what it means to ‘do the next right thing’ and to take the ‘next faithful step’. By looking at Anna’s lowest moment, we can see some of ourselves and how Jesus knows that we need to take things one single step at a time. Our main passage this week is Psalm 119:81-87, 105.

This week, we kick off our Summer Series, Theater and Theology, where we examine deep Biblical themes in some of our favorite movies. First up, is X-men: Days of Future Past. We will see the story of Mystic and how her quest for vengeance has consequences beyond anything we could ever imagine. Then, we compare her story to the tale of Joseph, who also had to make a choice between vengeance and mercy. Jesus calls us to me merciful; how can we do that this week? Our main passage this week is Luke 6:31-37.

This week, we pause for a moment to reflect back on the first half of 2026. We will reexamine our UP-IN-OUT goals from January and think of ways we can keep moving forward with them for the remaining part of this year. Our main passage this week is Matthew 22:37-40.
