2.6 [TEACHING + REFLECTION] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 13) - Matthew 6:25-34

Jason Miller - When Jesus tells us not to worry, is this just a command that adds shame to our struggles with anxiety? Or does he give us wisdom for how we can become more aware of the care and competency of God?

1.23 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 11) - Matthew 6:9-13

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

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

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?

12.19 [TEACHING] Advent (wk 4) - Hope and Being Human

Jason Miller - When things are hard, like they are right now, we find all kinds of ways to try to escape. Some of those paths are more destructive than others, but they all take us further away from hope.

12.12 [CONVERSATION] Advent (wk 3) - Christian Hope and the Beautiful Resistance

Jason Miller and Daniel Bannoura - If Advent is a time to explore the meaning of hope in the face of dark realities, we should talk about injustice. Daniel Bannoura is a Palestinian Christian and a member of our SBCC family who shared with us about the experience of violence and injustice in his homeland and the ways he seeks hope.
