We're kicking off our Scriptural Formation Journey! Week One. We started in the Gospel of Matthew asking the question - "What do we learn about Jesus from the way this book shares the story of the Messiah?"

We have lots of “Why” and “What” questions for God. "Why is this happening?", "God, what are you doing?" But God, for thousands of years, has consistently had the same answer. Learn more in the final sermon in our Peace on Earth series 

Jesus is here, now what?

The goodness of the good news keeps better the more we get it. Scripture says that the Gospel means we are "holy," "without blemish," and "free from accusation." What if we actually believed that were true? 

Everyone is chasing peace. But what if we’re called to create peace for others? What does a life of a shalom-maker look like?

(Watch Online) Everyone is chasing those "perfect" moments where everything is all as it should be. The people of God called those moments "Shalom." We all long for it, but it can't be forced, manufactured, or controlled. It must be received from the Prince of Peace who rules the Kingdom of Shalom.

(Watch Online) We talk a lot about forgiveness but what those who are hurt by the guilty? Does mercy mean that people aren't responsible for their actions? What is the good news for those who have been hurt by the guilt? (Exodus 34:6, 7)

(Watch Online) Sin is an outdated notion. In our effort to rush to "enlightenment" we still suffer the effects of sin but we've cut ourselves from the only solution, forgiveness.
