1.23 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 11) - Matthew 6:9-13
Monday Jan 24, 2022
Monday Jan 24, 2022
Jason Miller - At the center of the sermon on the mount, we find the prayer Jesus taught his disciples to pray. How do we approach prayer as something other than a lever to pull to make things happen, or a duty to perform to earn divine approval?

1.9 [REFLECTION] You Are Not Alone Liturgy - Isaiah 43:1-7
Thursday Jan 13, 2022
Thursday Jan 13, 2022
In our gatherings this weekend, we took time before jumping back into the Sermon on the Mount to reflect on and respond to the last few weeks. Sometimes we can feel alone in whatever we're going through, whether it's the deep pain of life not being what we thought it would be or experiencing a season of great joy in the midst of everyone else's chaos. We hope that this liturgy serves as a reminder to everyone in our community that "you are not alone".Full Transcript HERESong: I Am Not Alone by Kari Jobe CCLI SONG #7007821

1.9 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 9) - Matthew 6:1-4
Monday Jan 10, 2022
Monday Jan 10, 2022
Jason Miller - Jesus tells us to give in secret, without "trumpeting" the gift or letting one hand know what the other is doing. Why does giving in secret matter? And what do we do with the apparent contradiction between this teaching and his instruction in chapter 5 to let people see our good deeds?

Monday Dec 06, 2021
Monday Dec 06, 2021
Jason Miller and Jim Stump - If Advent is a time to explore the meaning of hope in the face of dark realities, we should talk about one of the most difficult things we're facing in this era: climate change. Jim Stump is the Vice President of Programs at Biologos, an organization that explores the intersection between science and Christian faith. He joined us for a conversation about science and faith, creation care and climate change, and hope in the face of daunting challenges. To learn more about Biologos, head to their website for a rich archive of resources from theologians, scientists, and other thought leaders. Jim also hosts Biologos' podcast, The Language of God, and we highly recommend it.
You'll also hear a brief conversation at the beginning of the episode with Andrea Cramer, Executive Director of Neighbor to Neighbor, explaining how our Christmas offering will support the work they're doing to welcome refugees arriving in our area.
