Sunday Gathering February 19th, 2023 Ryan Kenny (1 Thess. 4:9-12)

Sunday Gathering February 12th, 2023 Ryan Kenny (Luke 19:10) Have you ever gotten what you wanted and still aren’t happy? Found success but still aren’t satisfied? Lived your desires but still aren’t fulfilled? What if we have it backwards? In a life that is all about us… Jesus invites us to find life in others, to find happiness, satisfaction and fulfillment by partnering on his mission of restor...

Sunday Gathering February 5th, 2023 Ryan Kenny (Exodus 33:9-14) We all depend on something (yes, even you, model of self-dependence). Imagine going a day without your phone, your email, your car... how would you fare? While it might be easy to realize how much you depend on everyday things, are you able to realize where and when you depend on God's Spirit? A little trickier huh?

Sunday Gathering January 29th, 2023 Ryan Kenny (Luke 18:9-14) We hear "authenticity" quite a bit right now. Is it just about one "wearing their heart on their sleeve"?

Jesus and the Respectable (Luke 14:15-24) - Tim Geddert Jesus accepts the invitation to hang out and eat with the respectable in society. However, it becomes clear, that only those who recognize their need can benefit from dining and interacting with him.

Jesus and Sinners (Matthew 9:9-13) - Layla Van Gerpen Jesus chooses to eat with those who are considered undesirable, out of bounds, even dangerously immoral. Jesus seeks those who are struggling. Is he seeking you? Is he calling you to seek others who are internally twisted and confused?

Judgment and Justice (Revelation 19:1-11; 20:11-15; 21:1-4) - Daniel Dominguez Finally, John is given a glimpse of where everything is going- the evil are judged and the virtuous are vindicated. Even more, everything is restored to how it should be.

Satan’s Shock Jock (Revelation 13:1-17) - Ryan Kenny John is led to understand that the leader(s) of this world are often in opposition to all that is Good, to the Way of God. Mass messaging is used to lead people astray.

Dungeons and Dragons (Revelation 12:1-17) - Ryan Kenny The images that John sees go to a higher level- it becomes clear to him that there is a spiritual battle being waged, behind all of the earthly struggles that human beings experience.

Finality as Freedom (Revelation 6:1-17; 7:9-10) - Brian Ross John has a vision of Christ opening seals that announce mass destruction to earthly life as we know it. The finality of this world’s order (and of the rich and powerful who oversee it) is interpreted as ultimate freedom by virtuous souls, found in every culture, around the globe. 

Victim as Victor (Revelation 1:9-18) - Ryan Kenny While John of Patmos seeks God while in prison, he has a personal experience of Christ. He is startled with the vivid vision of how the one who was crucified is truly the king.

(Mark 10:17-27) - Ryan Kenny 

" I am here…" (James 3:18) - Daniel Dominguez Relational connections are built by those who commit to others, despite their personal problems, and how they may cause hurts.

"I am not able to…" (James 1:10) - Ryan Kenny Relational connections are built by those who know that they are not able to be everything that another person needs.

" I am sorry… " (James 5:16) Ryan Kenny Relational connections are built by those who can admit their personal shortcomings and who realize that they are dependent on others’ kindness.

" I am listening…" (James 1:19) - Ryan Kenny Relational connections are built by those who seek to understand the other first and share their perspective later.

" I don’t know…"  (James 4:14) - Ryan Kenny Relational connections are built by humble people who know that there is much that they do not know.
