There’s a freedom that comes from surviving together for a long time - that kind of freedom is what Paul dreams of for the little group of saints in Corinth. He longs for them to grow into the kind of hard won resilience and maturity that come from sustained the practice of living lives rooted in Jesus and guided by an active gospel imagination.

Let me share with you a passage from CS Lewis’s seminal work Mere Christianity “I want to make it as clear as I possibly can that the centre of Christian morality is not [sexual behavior]. If anyone thinks that Christians regard unchastity as the supreme vice, he is quite wrong. The sins of the flesh are bad, but they are the least bad of all sins. All the worst pleasures are purely spiritual: the...

This summer we’re taking time to look back on specific elements of experiences that are common to those who have gone to camp, specifically but not limited to church camp, and examine these experiences in light of what we are all coming to know and practice about our faith now. We may not need sunscreen or bug spray, but it will take an adventurous spirit and willingness to experience new things....

Our passage this week talks about the posture that we must take as followers of Christ. It is one that invites us to acknowledge the privilege and power we have been given by the world, and to humble ourselves wholly to God for the service of others. In a time where Christians in the West are throwing themselves into positions of more power, creating bigger walls, and shutting more people out, we...

This week we have the privilege of hearing from Mike Rusch. Mike’s life involves way to much to sum up here, but suffice it to say you don’t want to miss this Sunday. Among many other things, Mike is creator and host of The Underview podcast , which contributes significantly to dialog around what wholeness means, and takes, for our community. I encourage you to listen, specifically to season two....

Have you ever noticed that when you get a new car, you suddenly start seeing that car everywhere? It happens with all kinds of things, things that are there every day and we barely notice them, but when we get one for ourselves, or even start to want one for ourselves, we immediately begin taking notice of them. Something similar happens when Jesus comes on the scene and people start to take notic...

As an adopted kid, “where do I belong?” has been a question that colors almost every experience of my life. But it’s not just adopted kids who ask this question, it’s one basic to every person and one the Bible addresses over and over again in different ways. It most clearly addressed in our text this week. Let’s dig in and see what we can find. You can find out more about us at our website www.gr...

Even though the Galatians had received the faith by faith from Paul and had learned a new Gospel, the old ways of thinking about God and habits and practices of relating to God were deeply set. They needed to unlearn things so they could embrace the new thing.

Let’s dig in this week to see what it meant for the Galatians to be called out for their strongly-held identities and how we can work to regain our child-like wonder in growing our faith in Christ.

Last week we laid out the framework for our series “Letters for Change: An American church's reading of Paul’s letters”. If you weren’t there please give the podcast a listen as we covered some very important things we are going to be referencing throughout the series. Sunday we’re going to add onto that an outline of something we will encounter again and again in Paul’s writings, something theolo...

NOTE: The first 30 seconds of the podcast's audio was lost after the introduction, but the rest of the podcast should be normal. Buckle up, cowpokes, as we jump on the bucking bronco of contemporary exegesis and application in the arena of history shaking 21st century America - kicking off a study called “Letters for Change: An American Church's Reading of Paul’s letters”. You can find out more ab...
