10.24 [VISION] A different kind of conversation about church and giving

Jason Miller - We're taking a break from our series on the Sermon on the Mount to have a candid conversation about church and giving. This is a teaching probably unlike ones you've heard before about church and money, and it includes a bit of a mythbuster on tithing and the local church. It includes reference at the end to a work of art called "Tethered Sky" by Robert and Shana Parkeharrison. If you'd like to see the image, it's easily found through a web search.

10.17 [VISION] SBCC‘s future home, part 2

Jason Miller - In September, we began a process of communal discernment and feedback as we prepare for the end of our current lease at Studebaker 112 and consider some new possibilities for where we'll call home. Our lead pastor, Jason, took some time in this week's gatherings to report back to the community the feedback we've heard, and to let you know where things stand.

10.17 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 5) - Matthew 5:27-32

Jason Miller - Jesus warns against lust and divorce. Are these matters of purity, or is something deeper going on?

10.10 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 4) - Matthew 5:17-24

Jason Miller - As Jesus begins to give us pictures of the life of God in the sermon on the mount, he takes the prohibition against murder and stretches it to include a condemnation of anger. Why does he do that? Is this just a heavy burden, or a new possibility?

10.3 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 3) - Matthew 5:13-16

Jason Miller - Right after telling people that the kingdom of God is theirs, regardless of any aspect of their circumstance, Jesus speaks of being salt and light. What could these images mean for us, and what purpose do they serve?

9.26 [VISION] SBCC and the Future Possibilities of Where We Call Home

Jason Miller - This week we opened up an important conversation about the place SBCC calls home. We moved into Studebaker 112 in 2017 as renters, and while we have loved our home and flourished here, we've also begun evaluating the wisdom of renting versus owning. In this episode, you'll hear us talk about those questions and share a possibility that we've been exploring that would allow us to own a building. As you listen, you'll notice that we shared some visual resources during the gathering to help illustrate the possibilites we're considering. If you'd like access to a video version of the presentation that includes those resources, email us at info@southbendcitychurch.com and we'll share the link. We also invited feedback on this conversation, and we'd love to hear from you. You can email the same address with any thoughts, concerns, hopes, or questions you have.

9.19 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 2) - Matthew 5:7-10

Jason Miller - We're beginning a new focus on Jesus' sermon on the mount, the picture of the kingdom of God that he teaches in Matthew 5-7. This week we explore the second half of the blessings, or Beatitudes, that begin the teaching.

9.12 [TEACHING] The Sermon on the Mount (wk 1) - Matthew 5:1-6

Jason Miller - We're beginning a new focus on Jesus' sermon on the mount, the picture of the kingdom of God that he teaches in Matthew 5-7.

8.29 [TEACHING] Mantras: Fields, Not Factories

Jason Miller - We often use the things we can see to describe the things we can't see, but what happens when our imagination for the spiritual life is shaped by the factory instead of the field?

8.22 [TEACHING] Mantras: Practices, Not Performances

Jason Miller - We have nothing to prove and failure isn't fatal. Instead of trying to perform, we're invited to practice.
