Today we begin our trek through the book of Acts to discover the power of the Spirit through language and story—and an invitation to participate.

Join us for our special live stream service.

On this third Sunday of Advent we're invited to see the shape of God's salvation and receive an invitation to take part.

On this second Sunday of Advent, we consider how Isaiah’s longing invites us to wait with hope until our truest desire comes into focus so that we might respond accordingly. 

On this first Sunday of Advent, we are invited into the transformative experience of waiting.

This week we address the radical new reality Christ ushers in and how it redeems work as worship and subverts cultural hierarchy’s. We also hear testimonies of the transformative power of discipleship to Jesus within the context of marriage, parenting and vocational calling. 

This week we discover the high calling and deep destiny God has in mind for children, parents, and how our Kingdom identity in the workplace can glorify Jesus.

This week we explore how the call to to mutual submission and Christ-like love challenges and transforms the husband and wife relationship specifically, and gender relations more broadly.

This week we explore the crucial role wisdom plays in our discipleship to the way of Jesus, call into question which spirit is animating our lives, and meditate on the power of song and thanksgiving as expressions of God alive in us.

This week we slowly begin digging into the qualities that characterize God’s people as we “practice resurrection” and surrender, to be transformed into individuals— and then a community— that make a habit of “walking the way of love”, modeled for us by Jesus.

What role does Scripture have in our lives as apprentices of Jesus? The library we call “the Bible” can connect us to God and form us into people of love, but distraction, hurry, lingering mental maps from our family of origin and other influences can hinder our experience with these ancient texts.

This week we explore one of the most crucial aspects of being a disciple of Jesus: the role of the mind in the active, ongoing process of transformation; what it looks like and how we are called to partner with the Spirit of Christ to experience it.

This week Paul deepens our understanding of how the unique unity of the Spirit-filled community depends on the five-fold ministry of gift-people God gives the Church, so that the conditions for maturing from infants into healthy individuals persists and the new-community of God is realized.

This week we discover how to slow down and live out of creative love—to safeguard and grow a resilient, peaceful, and unified community—that finds its source in the loving unity of the Father, Son and Spirit.

Today we join Paul in prayer; discovering how the Spirit empowers us to cultivate lives of continual prayer, alive and attentive to the intimate presence of Christ, so that we might experience more and more the boundless depths of his love, becoming people who love like he does.

Today we reflect on the three-fold movement of faith in Ephesians 1-3: understanding God’s identity, our own, and the invitation to participation in a community on mission.

Today we explore Paul’s journey of transformation, discovering how the grace and power of God reframes suffering and catalyzes us to join God in the work of the Kingdom: creating a new humanity to the praise of his glory and the healing of all things.

Today we explore the power of God’s grace: where it places us, how it saves us, and what unique identity and destiny it calls us into.

Jesus not only restored our relationship with God but has made all people, both Jews and gentiles, a new humanity, one family, a holy temple, joined together in Christ.

Today we explore the before and after-effects of God’s audacious work in Christ and encounter the three forces that seek to keep us trapped in the land of death: the world, the flesh and the devil
