Nehemiah 9:5b-6 This teaching invites all to consider an "inverted" understanding of calling God "Almighty." It also highlights three possible temptations if one does not take seriously the claim that God is the Maker of heaven and earth.

Ephesians 3:14,20-21

Zechariah 8:20-23 The nations notice what God's people are up to and they want to be a part of it. They cling to the hem of the garment because God's people live a communal life that reflects the God to Whom they cling. All of this happens because God dwells within creation and so heaven and earth overlap. 

Zechariah 7:1-14 We cannot ignore God's anger in response to His people in the book of Zechariah. How might we receive a greater understanding of God's wrath and judgment in the context of covenant and justice, not just consequence? What might God want to mend: in us and in relationship with Godself and one another?

Zechariah 8, Isaiah 55, Psalm 126 God is restoring [and re-storying] us, inviting our participation in the restoration of all things, especially as we surrender our pain, expectations and anxieties over to God. 

Zechariah 14:6-9 At some point, we all lose sight of home and where things are headed. We can find hope in the already-not yet reality of God's rule and reign, living in particular ways that help that "unique day" be realized even now.

Zechariah 1:1-17 As we kick off a new series called "Dreams + Visions" based out of the book of Zechariah, we take this first week to explore how God comforted His people despite both generational disobedience of the past and uncertainties about the future. As we navigate our various present-day realities, what might this Old Testament prophet show us about God's willingness and ability to comfort...

John 21:15-25 This passage is about more than the relationship between Jesus and Peter being restored. This is also an invitation to all disciples to renewed relationship and faithful, particular care for Jesus' sheep. 

John is inviting his readers to see the unchanging and ever-faithful nature of the risen Christ. We clearly see how God deeply desires to speak to, guide, and partner with humanity. So, come on! Bring what you've got and join in the Kingdom work. John 21:1-14

Guest preacher Tara Beth Leach focuses on the confession of Thomas and how subversive and courageous it was, re-storying the narrative as Thomas the doubter. That confession was life-altering for both Thomas and the disciples, and that same confession can be life-altering for us today. John 20:11-31

God is concerned with the suffering of the world. Drawing on the image of the Passover Lamb, John's gospel presents Jesus as God's decisive action of love by becoming the new Passover Lamb who not only takes the sins of the world, but also, is victorious over the Powers of Sin, Death, and Evil. John 19:28-37 

In Jesus’ trial, we see that choices with great consequences are made along way. In a current age of decision fatigue, what does it look like to be disciples of Jesus that make Kingdom-minded choices - and how might we remain hopeful in light of the ultimate choice He made? John 18:28-40

When Jesus is questioned about his teaching and his disciples, he points first to himself. He is his teaching and the Church is called to point to him. Jesus also points to his disciples as those who have heard him and know him. John 18:19-24

A familiar story to many, these verses describe Peter's answers when asked about his relationship with Jesus. But that's not the end of the story. Peter's entire life is an encouragement to "all who are far off." John 18:15-18, 25-27

John 18:1-14 Guest teacher Gary Burge unpacks the point at which Jesus was arrested and betrayed and what that has to do with us.

Join us for an Ash Wednesday Service.

John 17 As Jesus prays for his followers and for the world in John 17, we get a unique window into the heart of God. There seem to be two profound invitations here; to hear again that we are deeply loved, cherished and prayed for by Jesus, and that we too are invited again into the priestly role as those to intercede for the world in prayer. 

John 16 Jesus has important words for his disciples knowing they're about to face opposition in an unfriendly world. He's leaving, but not without a plan for them to endure trouble. And so it is for us today: peace is actually possible for what is surely to come.

Followers of Jesus are a peculiar people [1 Peter 2v9 KJV]. Through our faithful loyalty to Jesus as King and our inclusive commitment to the other, we join the Spirit in testifying about the love of God in Christ. John 15v18-27
