How difficult is it to be told you're wrong or to be corrected? After all, isn't that how a person grows? Our tendency is to internalize the reprimand and stall out rather than grow in the wisdom of our mistake. Yet "Lady Wisdom" cares enough to offer us just that. This week, Pastor Tony Minear continues his series on "Lady Wisdom" and re-examines criticism and our response to reprimand. Listen an...

Would it surprise you to learn that 90% of American debts (personal and public) are owed to the richest 10% of the population? This disparity was a reality in Jesus' time as well. In a voice aligned with the prophets before him, he denounced economic disparity—an action that likely resulted in his execution. And yet, Christians continue to want and focus on sex as the cause of society's ills. Just...

Economic disparity in the United States has increased by 20% in the last 30-40 years. However, this distinction between the “haves” and the “have nots” is not something new. In fact, unequal distribution of income and opportunity between different groups in society has been around for centuries and was just as prevalent in Jesus’ time as it is today. So much so that Jesus told a parable about it a...

Transformation of body, mind and spirit can happen on many levels. Take minimalism. Many believe that you can have a better quality of life if you minimalize your possessions and downsize. Jesus admonished this same notion in Mark 10:17-27, when he asked a wealthy man to give up all his possessions, give to the poor and follow him. But was Jesus speaking literally to this individual man or was he...

Join us this week for our new worship series "Choose: God or Money." Scripture gives us no lack of references to money, being mentioned more than 800 times in the Bible. But what exactly did Jesus have to say about the role of money in our lives and why is he so polarizing when it comes to speaking about money? Listen as Pastor Tony Minear unpacks scripture’s reference to God versus Mammon in Luke...

Merry Christmas to you from Beatitudes Church! Like most Christians, you’ve probably seen countless Christmas pageants. This is just one of many Christmas traditions we hold dear. Who can forget the little four-year-old sheep that wanders stage right to stare off seemingly dazed by the big audience? Each year we gather together in worship to watch the story unfold. The shepherds with their sheep,...

Rest. For you. For the earth. Shabbat reminds us of our rightful place to the rest of God's creation. Shabbat chastises us for forgetting that the land does not belong to us. We belong to each other. Therein lies our HOPE. Join us today as Pastor Tony reflects on restoring HOPE by accepting our own and nature’s limitations. Reflect on the wisdom of the ancients and discover how cutting back and do...

Is it possible to have no enemies? Jesus taught us to “love your enemies,” but maybe it’s time to recast that appeal with a new and more relevant translation for today? What if instead we were to “have no enemies?” As evolutionary biology concludes, it is instinctual for Homo sapiens to have enemies; it’s how we survived as a species. Old Testament wisdom repeatedly refers to the preservation of G...

Ever felt left out or found yourself relegated to the “third wheel?” Quite often the “odd one out” finds themself being leveraged to help the other two succeed. Throughout the ages within Christianity, you can identify three entities that constantly juggle this precarious balance of relationship: God, humanity, and the Earth. This is especially true when it comes to the restoration of Hope as pres...

Hope is not something that is static. It is adaptable and always shifting. Similarly, the gospel narratives regarding hope are fluid and don’t always match. Nevertheless, it is through this messiness and discrepancy that the full reflection of the human condition is realized, and hope can be restored. Join us this week for our new Advent worship series, “Hope”. These are extraordinary times of unc...

All of us have experienced a time of hardship and struggle, a time in which our spirits are low and brittle.

But at the same time, it has also manifested a spirit of hope through our shared stories of the struggle. Join us this week as we conclude our worship series, "JOSEPH." Explore wi...
