Our final week in our walk through Paul’s letter to the Galatians (Chapter 6). One more time, for those in the back of the room … It’s not the Gospel if it’s not GOOD NEWS. We’ve been set free. The burden of the law lifted. He heaviness of the law is gone. Now what? Full […] The post Galatians // Easy like Sunday Morning first appeared on Refuge. Church .

This week we walk through Galatians 5:18-26 as we look at the fruit of love and it’s offspring. How we love God. We we love ourselves. How we love others. Full Message Audio Livestream Replay The post Galatians // Love is Good News first appeared on Refuge. Church .

Paul has been reminding the church in the first four Chapters of Galatians about their freedom from the bondage of the law through Christ Jesus. In Chapter 5, he will not only remind them again, he will go further to explain how this freedom in Christ is to be lived out in the goodness of […] The post Good News // Freedom is Good News first appeared on Refuge.

It’s not the gospel if it’s not good news. Being a slave to God is not good news. Being a slave to anything is not good news. But being a child of God is the best news ever. Full Message Audio Livestream Replay The post Good News // Adoption is Good News first appeared on Refuge. Church .

Week 2 of our walk through Paul’s letter to a church in crisis that is attempting to remove the good news from the Gospel. Why would they do such a thing? Full Message Audio Livestream Replay The post Good News // Yes Jesus. No Buts. first appeared on Refuge. Church .

Our final week working through 2 Samuel. David has lived a chaotic life and that chaos has consequences. Some of us create our own storms, and then get upset when it rains. What if the consequences of sin are better for our souls than a success? What if God uses those consequences to remove the […] The post Monarchy of Misfits // Consequences of Chaos first appeared on Refuge. Church .

Talk about CHAOS!!!! We know something about that right about now huh? How do we find calm in this chaos? How did David find calm in his chaos?

The chaos continues in our Monarchy of Misfits this week (and continues and continues…) But one voice is clear in the chaos as we dive into 2 Sam. 13 & 14. Full Message Audio Livestream Replay The post Monarchy of Misfits // Chaos Continues first appeared on Refuge. Church .

The Bible tells one story and that story points to one person. In week two of our series through 2 Samuel we look at chapters 6-7 to see if we can “raid the gospel” from this messed up story.

Last fall we walked through the book of 1 Samuel as we studied the complexity of the first king of Israel (Saul). Not fully good. Not fully bad. A misfit. Like all of us. The Old Testament is a mirror into our lives (if we allow it to be). This fall we are going to […] The post Monarchy of Misfits // Part Deux first appeared on Refuge. Church .

Hard to believe it’s been six years since the inception of Refuge. Church. It’s been a wild journey. We celebrate what God has done and what God will do in the future with this Motley Crue of misfits who have found a home sweet home as we continue to help others find a home.

This week Pastor Brian takes us through the Parable of Lazarus and the Rich Man from Luke 16:19-31. Unlike the other parables, this one does not stay in the realm of first century life. In fact, it doesn’t stay in the realm of planet earth. It’s a strange one to be sure. One that’s easiest […] The post The Stories of Jesus // What the Hell? first appeared on Refuge. Church...

Matthew 12:38-45. Jesus refuses to give a sign to his opponents other than the sign of Jonah. Why is this? Were the Pharisees trying to make Jesus into something he is not? What do the seven evil spirits symbolize? Full Message Audio Livestream Replay The post The Stories of Jesus // Sign of Jonah & The 7 Spirits first appeared on Refuge. Church .

Matthew 14:44-45. Becoming a Christian is leaving your native home and entering the Kingdom of God. But entering the Kingdom of God means being willing to sacrifice everything. Is it expensive? Not at all. It’s a bargain. Full Message Audio Livestream Replay The post The Stories of Jesus // The Hidden Treasure and Pearl first appeared on Refuge. Church .

The first shall be last and the last shall be first. Whoever wants to be first must become a servant – just as the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and give his life as a ransom for many.

No one puts new wine into old wineskins. For the old skins would burst from the pressure, spilling the wine and ruining the skins. New wine is stored in new wineskins so that both are preserved.

The imagery Jesus uses in His stories are sketches of everyday life … fishing, farming, women baking bread, merchants buying pearls. Through these parables Jesus is teaching that the Kingdom is resistible. It’s humble. It’s not going to force itself upon you.
