In the final installment of Witnesses to Wonder, we explore Mary’s extraordinary faith and her willingness to say, “Let it be.” Through her story, we’ll see how God "rhymes" through the songs of Miriam, Hannah, and Mary, singing the song he has always sung about his coming King. Like Mary, God is inviting us to prepare our hearts for Christ to be born in us. ________________ Scripture: Luke 1.26-3...

There is a growing interest in spiritual things today. And sometimes that means turning to unusual or unconventional means to find truth and meaning.

In this last lesson of the series, we now shift our gaze on the circle of "Reorder" - asking what does reconstruction look like? How do we bring order out of chaos?

I know...

How aware are you of God's presence in your life, and how does that affect how you pray?

"This is My commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you.” -John 15:12

In the Bible, that phrase is "Who knows?" extracted from the mouth of the Assyrian king in Jonah 3.9. The lesson will serve as a brief sermon sketch demonstrating a posture we can adopt that will strengthen our relationship to God, while hinting at a world of theology concerning the freed...
