The Gathering

This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we wrapped up our series on Jesus and politics.  The band performed songs by Joni Mitchell, Audrey Assad, Drew Holcomb and Mary Gauthier.

There have been many revolutions throughout history, but only one revolutionized revolutions. This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we continued our series on Jesus and Politics.   The band performed songs by The Beatles, Beyonce, Alicia Keys, The Cranberries and more.

Jesus has been called many things - even a revolutionary.  But, that isn't altogether fair, especially when you consider all He could have done, but didn't.  When it came to politics Jesus revolutionized what it meant to be a revolutionary. This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we began a three part series on Jesus and politics.   The band performed songs by Marvin Gaye, Stealers Wheel, a Mi...

This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we explored the term Christian; what it means, what it meant. What it could mean? The band performed songs by Coldplay, William Matthews, Bethel and more.

This past Sunday, we wanted to explore some of your favorite and least favorite things. We could have been fans of so many different ideas, people, flavors, teams, and music. If that was just the way the world worked, who were God’s favorites? Who did he cheer for? The band performed songs by Randy Newman, Echosmith, Drew Holcomb, and more.

We wrapped up our series on "Questions God Asks Us" by looking at questions from Storyliners (shared during that week and shared during the Gathering - live, and anonymously) about God, faith, church, and Storyline. In addition, Mike Cook performed a couple songs for us.

Life generates a lot of questions. Mystery and complications abound. But, it is not as if we weren't a part of all of that. We too, were complicated and even mysterious. And every once in a while, it was a good idea for us to allow God to ask us some questions. Last Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, we continued our series on the questions God asked us. The band performed songs by Tom Petty, Maggie...

It is not unusual for each of us to have questions about God and even questions for God. But did you know that God has questions for us?

It's easy to experience God's grace when life is good and everything is going as planned.  But what about when things don't go how we want or expect them to?  This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we took a look at how to find God in the midst of unexpected and unwelcome circumstances. The band performed songs by Fleetwood Mac, Peter Bradley Adams, City and Colour, and more.

What is life for?  There is no bigger question.  And no easy answers. But what if there is a direction?  A path to follow?

To say we live in a time of change is to put it mildly - everything is changing and faster than ever.  Yet, there are episodes in the bible that recount settings very similar to ours; enormous upheaval, dislocation and unclear paths forward.  This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we continued our search for the Grace of God in the Old Testament in a book all about just such a time, whose tit...

All summer, we have been looking at ways to find the Grace of God in the most difficult parts of the Bible.  This past Sunday, we continued to do the same by exploring how God's deliverance of the Israelite people could surprise us in ways we never expected.   The band performed songs by Creedence Clearwater Revival, Cat Stevens, Michael Koch, and more.

Sometimes it is very difficult to see the good, the benefit, the grace in the rules.  We don't like 'em!  But God sees it another way. Why? The answer might surprise you.  This is what we considered, this past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering.   The band performed songs by Johnny Cash, Dawes, Don Henley and more.

The world is pretty crazy right now, and it can be hard to find the grace of God in it some days.

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2024!!  Graduating from high school is no small task, and we are so proud of our 2024 graduates. The moment of graduation is full of excitement, but it is also a gateway into a very daunting unknown.  “What is going to happen next?”  This past week, at the Gathering, we contemplated this question together and wondered what might be coming for all of us. ...

Stories have the power to shape our lives in many ways, which is why it's so critical for us to choose our stories wisely. This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we continued to look at one of the elements that make great stories, and the impact this has on our lives. The band performed songs by Bob Dylan, Taylor Swift, Jackson Browne, and Aimee Mann.

Every great story starts with hope, but that won't get us through to the end -we have to have something else, something critical, something that will push us through each day and pull us into the future. This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we continued to look at the power of stories and a crucial element we all need for our lives to be a great one! The band performed songs by Jon Legend,...

Jesus told stories all the time, because he knows how much they can impact us.  But are we aware of how many stories we are already living in?  Part of the invitation of Jesus is to choose the story we want to live in and live out.  This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering we considered all of the stories that swirl around and God's story of Grace as an alternative.  The band performed songs by B...
