9.15 [TEACHING] Everyone an Icon (wk 2) - Creativity

Jason Miller - This is week 2 in our exploration of one of SBCC's core mantra's - Everyone an Icon. We're asking, what does it mean to bear the image of God? We looked at Genesis 1, Sirach 51, Matthew 11, and Ephesians 2, and considered the creative calling on every human life to get our hands on the raw materials of the world and make something beautiful. This week's episode also features performances from guest artists Eric Marshall (Young Oceans) and John Tibbs, who joined us in our Thursday night gathering.

9.8 [CONVERSATION] Everyone an Icon (wk 1) - Dignity

Jason Miller and Beth Graybill:
 
One of our SBCC mantras is “Everyone an Icon” - every human being is a bearer of the image of God. Our new series will explore the meaning of this radical claim over the next several weeks. To begin, Jason Miller and Beth Graybill shared a conversation about Jesus and the ways that he calls out the dignity of the people around him, and the limiting beliefs we hold that keep us from realizing our own sacred story.

9.1 [TEACHING] - Sacred Questions (wk 3) - What are you afraid of?

Jason Miller - In our final week of Sacred Questions, we considered fear and its consequences for the lives we lead and the world we’re creating, through the lens of Jesus’ interactions with his friends in Luke 24 and Mark 4.

7.28 [TEACHING] - Prayers of the People: Embodiment (Part 2)

Spencer French - In this week’s message, we continue to investigate the ways the body has been marred by bad theology. Then, we attempt to recover a proper understanding of the body-centered on the Christian teaching of the Imago Dei, divine empathy in Christ, and the eventual restoration of all things. Genesis 1:26-27, John 1:14, Revelation 21:1-4

7.21 [TEACHING] - Prayers of the People: Embodiment (Part 1)

Haleigh Smith - This week we continue the conversation we sparked before our week-long break. During this “prayers of the people” practice, we engage with poems, communal prayers, and teaching that grapple with the difficulties of living an embodied life as those created in the image of God when messages we’re given often disregard that truth.

7.7 [TEACHING] - Prayers of the People: An introduction

Ryan Yazel - Psalm 13
