We ask God to equip us with what's needed in order to bring forth his Kingdom and his will and We are instructed to only ask for what's needed in the moment - this produces dependence on him not just the ideals of his Kingdom.

Truly hallowing God's name requires dismantling empty religious routines and ruthlessly evaluating our daily actions against God's uncompromising standards of love and justice. Ultimately, this prayer demands that we completely surrender our lives and priorities to the transformative power and supreme goodness of our Creator.

We consider the complicated closeness of God the Father and consider passages of scripture that exhibit the Christian life as companionship with God above and beyond adherence to a set of beliefs.

The Scripture covers quite a bit of David's life; this teaching focuses on a constant, repeated faith displayed in his willingness to be restored.

Hebrews 11 lists a few of the Old Testament Judges who displayed faith in the midst of a chaotic time.

Sometimes we have stories, or parts of our story, that are filled with sin and/or struggle and we dont know how to handle theses stories. In our teaching on Rahab, we look at her story as an example of how to handle our our own stories of sin and struggle and letting them become stories of redemption that shape our relationship with God.

The story of Moses inspires us to partner with God in bringing shalom.

A good story contains three essential elements: an arc, an author and a main character. This teaching looks at the life of Joseph (Genesis 37-50) in search of the answer to three questions: 1) Who is the main character of your story? 2) Who is writer of your story? 3) Where is your story going and how will it get there?

God wrestles with Jacob, not to defeat him, but to change him. Jacob is brought to a breaking point and from this moment on, the trajectory of his life and identity are moved towards faithfulness. 

Looking at Isaac's whole life and the ways that God works through macrostories, mesostories, and microstories to form us and advance his Kingdom. Isaac is remembered in Hebrews 11 for having passed the blessing to Jacob and this is the part of his story that is highlighted as faith.

The story of Abraham and Sarah reminds us that God often calls ordinary, unlikely people into His redemptive plan. As our comfort gets disrupted, faith becomes the response to God as we live in the gap between what God has promised and what we currently see.

While Noah's life delivers a great story of struggle, obedience, rescue and sin, Enoch's life is told in just three words: "walked with God". But what if those three words became the summary of each of our stories?

Abel models to us what faithful sacrifice looks like as we delight in the person of God. Cain is a warning against envy and bitterness - coming to God with a sense of entitlement and pride.

Focus on the nature of story and how it not only forms the framework of Scripture but if forms the way we see ourselves and engage others in the Kingdom.  

Jesus, in declaring Himself as the good shepherd, describes how a good shepherd takes care of the flock, with implicaitons of the contrast - how imposter shepherds hurt the flock.

Short Teaching from our Resurrection Sunday Worship and Baptism Potluck Service

Focus on abiding through chosing to set our minds on Jesus and engaging in prayer with Jesus 

To a world that seeks satisfaction tangible objects and circumstances, Jesus offers himself as the bread of life. Not only is he the provider, he is the provision itself. All things that we crave and desire find their fullfullment in him. 

Jesus is the perfect example of how to live a life of meaning, how to live life to the full, and as we center on him and his example, he also calls us to be a light to the world, not through condemning, but through inviting others to follow him.

Matt Densky kicks off our "I AM" series by asking us the question Jesus asks his disciples, "Who do you say that I am?". This teaching will begin to lay out the 7 statements where Jesus reveals to us who he is - as recorded in the gospel of John. Along with some history about the covenant name for God YHWH or I AM who I AM out of Exodus.

Part 2 of our Advent Series- the angels bringing Good News of Great Joy for All people.

When we know the promises of God are a surety- they will be fulfilled- then it changes how we wait for Him in joyful anticipation and expectation. This is the source of our true hope that will not put us to shame.
