Preacher: Chris CoonScripture: Mark 5:24b-34.

The Bible says a lot of good things about waiting ("For those

who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength..." says Isaiah 40:31),

but it doesn't give us much direction about how to wait. This podcast does some

reflection on the importance of waiting when we're in transition, but also some

thoughts about how we can be active waiters.

Preacher: Trey Hall

Scripture: Matthew 4.1-7 & 2

Timothy 3.16-17

Description: The Bible says that all Scripture is "useful for

teaching" -- how do we deal with the "texts of terror"?

PreacherL Brittany IsaacScripture: John 9: 1-12

Preacher: Chris CoonScripture: Genesis 11:27-12:9.

We usually have a pretty good idea of where we're starting when we

head into a new chapter in our lives and we also may have a good idea of where

we're going, but what happens in the transition? Where is God in the midst of

the "to" in the phrase "from here to there"?

Preacher: Emily McGinley

Scripture: Jeremiah 29:1, 4-14 Psalm 137

Title: A My My People

Description:

When Japanese Americans were collectively and unjustly incarcerated during

World War II, they seemed to have two choices: 1) Assimilate and wipe out their

identity, or 2) Reject America and withdraw from society. The Judeans exiled to

Babylon thought they had the same options. But for both, God proposed a third

way.

Preacher: Trey HallScripture: Matthew 5.17-20 & Matthew

22.34-40

Description: How did Jesus read the Bible?

Preacher: Emily McGinleyScripture: Luke 18:31-34 & Luke 19:28-42The Christian concept of atonement can get a bad rap. Is it really

about sacrificing a life to get into God's good graces, or was there a bigger

purpose at play?

Preacher: Ben SnipesScripture: Genesis 32:22-28 and 33:1-4

God is always with us,

especially as we work on forgiveness.  Jacob's story shows us that God is

part of the process of admitting our flaws and living into our Christian

identity before saying, "I'm Sorry."

Preacher: Emily McGinleyScripture: Psalm 51:1-6, 10-17Living in autopilot can set us drifting away

from being the person that we were created to be. How do we get back to a place

of alignment and unity?

Preacher: Brittany IsaacScripture: John 21: 25 and Mark 4:35-41How do we dig deep into scripture and find ourself within the stories? What questions and tools can we use to connect further with scripture in our lives today?
