The blessings God speaks over creation in Genesis 2 reveal His ongoing, life-giving care for us. Day seven of the creation story is a celebration of God’s creative work.

While what we celebrate at Easter—the resurrection of Jesus Christ—remains steadfast, we acknowledge that this year looks and feels different. For over a year, we have carried the burdens of worldwide sickness, deep loss, anxiety and polarization. We cannot gloss over these struggles, but we can create space for honest conversation and honest stories about who Jesus is.   In our cultural moment, w...

While many of us might at times discount ourselves due to our age, education or circumstances, Paul makes it clear that everyone following Jesus is meant to pursue this maturity.

Sunday worship is a means of grace. It is a place where we realign ourselves with the Gospel. The more we are faithful to this practice, the longer we stay aligned. Alex Choi, Imago Dei’s executive pastor, continues our series Colossians: Christ Our Life.

We are all seekers. No matter what we buy, acquire, or reach, we ultimately find ourselves seeking something more. We seek because we were created in the image of a relational, triune God—Father, Son, and Spirit who seek to love and delight in one another. As we begin a new year, Pastor Rick McKinley looks to the Scriptures to consider what it might look like to give ourselves over to seeking what...
