This week, Canon Patrick teaches from 1 Peter 4:1-11. The Apostle Peter encourages followers of Jesus to live as though they belong to another world. Canon Patrick invites us to explore how we orient to the world around us in light of our other-worldly citizenship.

Where do you look for vindication? Dean Peet teaches this week out of 1 Peter 3:1-22. Vanquishing those who oppress and do evil is not ultimately the Christian's job to perform. As witnesses of Christ, Christians can zealously fight for what is good, knowing that the final victory over evil, suffering, and death will belong to the Lord.

1 Peter 2:13-25 speaks of the newness of life given in Christ Jesus and how that changes everything. Since we have died with Christ, how does that transform how we live as we rise with Christ? How does it change how we relate to those in authority? This week Dean Peet encourages us that the causality of the gospel preserves us as we face the fallenness of this world.

What are you doing today? This week, Hunter Myers teaches from 1 Peter 2:1-10. Because we are chosen and precious to God, we are invited to become a people built to last in any circumstance. Hunter encourages us that our very identity is an invitation to become who we were called to be in Christ. What you are doing today is an invitation to participate in the eternal Kingdom of God. 

Wherever you are this Sunday, listen & learn from our friend Tom Hample about the call of Moses. Moses carried years of guilt, shame, and failure before receiving a unique call from God. But when Moses tried to get out of his calling, God spoke an enduring promise into Moses's life that is also available to all in Christ today, "I will be with you." 

Who do you trust? For many of us, the list of people & institutions we trust is shrinking rapidly. So, what does it mean to trust who God calls you to be & where He calls you? In this second 'Missed Calls' sermon series, Canon Patrick Schlabs preaches from Genesis 12:1-9 on the missed calls of Abraham to trust not only God's character but His timing. 

Last week we learned how work can be a (very) good thing, but we know sometimes work can become idolatrous. Listen to this weeks Formation class taught by the Rev. Patrick Schlabs and learn how work can become effected by sin, and what we can do about it.

In the beginning, God called everything into existence. Then God called Adam & Eve to partake in creation and cultivation. But, soon Adam & Eve listened to a different call: the call of selfish consumption, what the Bible calls sin. In this first 'Missed Calls' sermon series, Dean Peet Dickinson preaches from Genesis 2:4-9, 15-25 on the missed call of Adam & Eve. Listen & learn how...

How can we use our 9-5 jobs to show the world God's goodness? This is the question that the Rev. Patrick Schlabs tries to answer in this new formation series titled Called to Work. Listen and learn how you can bring God's goodness to those around you in your day to day job.

What does the ashen cross painted on your forehead mean? Is it a sign of your own piety, or is it an act of public repentance & contrition? This Ash Wednesday, our friend Bishop Terrell Glenn from St. Andrew's City Church shares the heart behind Ash Wednesday from Matthew 6:1-6, 16-21. Listen & learn how an ashen cross proclaims what Christ has done for us on the Cross. 

Integrating faith & work is a key part of maturing in your faith. What does it look like for you to work wisely in your sphere? This February at Public Theology, entrepreneur Brannon McAllister shares a theology & strategy for engaging the "middle spaces" between spheres. Listen & learn how to live more fully into your daily calling! 

We all long for mountain-top experiences, to see life and beauty at it's height. But one time, three disciples witnessed Jesus luminously transfigured on a mountain, and these disciples still fell into sin. Our sin runs deep enough that even the deepest perception of Beauty isn't enough to transform us. So, what hope is there for followers of Christ through every mountain & every valley? This...

How can Christians use technology as a tool to be formed in the beauty of the Gospel rather than being deformed in fear & anxiety? Join this special Christian Formation session as we discuss the formative (and deformative) power of technology. [As a disclaimer, neither Rachel Hajek nor Hunter Myers are trained counselors/psychologists. This conversation will not discuss Generalized Anxiety Dis...

A campfire changes things, as if it transforms weary travelers with the words, "Everything is better now."  Many gathered around Jesus expecting Him to tell them to do better or not to worry so much. Instead, Jesus invites them into a third way, gathered around Him in His life, His death, His resurrection, and His Kingdom. This Baptism Sunday, Dean Peet Dickinson preaches on Matthew 5:21-37 o...

Now that we have learned about how God uses creativity in the world, how are creative people from our church using art to point to the goodness of God? In this week's Formation class, we hear from Anna Brock - pianist, Beth Webb Hart - writer, Edward Hart - composer, and David Stanfield - animator. Listen to how these artists use their creative mediums to show the world God's goodness.

Most of the time, we don't like tensions. We avoid certain relationships to avoid awkward tensions, and if we're not careful, we can ignore important realities to remain at ease. For the follower of Jesus, the consistent tension is to remain distinct within the world. Jesus put it to like as salt & light without abandoning the foundation of Scripture. This week, the Rev. Canon Patrick Schlabs...

Every year carries new challenges & opportunities. However, the call to worship, discipleship, and mission doesn't change for followers of Jesus. This Sunday, Dean Peet Dickinson preaches from Micah 6:1-8. Listen & learn what the call for worship, discipleship, and mission looks like for our community. 

It takes courage to be persistent. When Jesus called to a couple persistent fishers, they couldn't imagine where their call to be "fishers of men" would take them. This week, Dean Peet Dickinson preaches from Matthew 4:12-22 about the calling of the first disciples and, ultimately, the calling of all who follow Jesus to be Gospel-driven, creative, committed, loving fishers of people. 

As Christians, how are we meant to glorify God with our creativity? In this first Called to Create formation class, Stephen Roach answers that question and more. Listen and learn how we can start using your creativeness to glorify God, the one who gave us the desire to create.

Who are we, really? It seems like a chasm exists between our ideal selves and who we really are, between perception and reality. This isn't a new problem either! When our friend St. Paul addressed a church in Corinth overrun with issues, he still called them "saints," those set apart for a holy purpose.  What can followers of Jesus make of our dual situation as broken, sinful people and our c...
