In our series "In Unseen Spaces" series, we are exploring how God meets people in unseen, quiet places to do deep, formative work. Following Jesus’ wilderness experience and Moses’ time in the desert, we now look at the prophet Elijah, whose story unfolds in a tense period of Israel’s history. Facing the corrupt rule of Ahab and Jezebel, Elijah tir…

In this teaching, we explore the often-overlooked years Moses spent in the wilderness, away from his dramatic encounters with Pharaoh and the Exodus. These forty years, filled with the quiet work of shepherding, were crucial as God transformed Moses, helping him shed Egypt’s influence and learn patience. In these unseen spaces, Moses found that tru…

In our new series "In Unseen Spaces," we explore moments where life unexpectedly slows down, leading us into hidden, quieter places—just as it did for biblical figures like Moses, Elijah, and Jesus. Beginning with Jesus' time in the wilderness (Matthew 4:1-11), we delve into the tests of identity, anxiety, and control he faced, revealing a deeper p…

Humans are created in the imago dei, which is not simply a state of being, but a vocation. Being an image-bearer is a calling to create and cultivate in ways that resemble God and benefit others. We participate in making real Jesus’s kingdom when our everyday actions are inspired by a kingdom's imagination. When we create families, art, ministries,…

In our current series, we’ve been talking about our practices as a church: gathering, welcoming, and inviting. Today, we focus on the practice of exploring – paying attention to where God is already at work around us, remaining curious and open to surprise. Paul’s journey teaches us that when we slow down, embrace uncertainty, and stay curious, God…

In this teaching of The Missio Dei series, we explore the ancient and essential practices of welcoming and inviting, rooted in biblical hospitality. Jesus modeled a radical hospitality that crossed boundaries, inviting the unexpected into His presence. Drawing from stories in Luke 4 and Matthew 25, we see that in welcoming others, we are not just o…

In this teaching of the Missio Dei series, we explore the practice of gathering as a central act of faith. Building on last week’s message from Jordan Moss, we dive into how gathering tells a story of who we are, where we come from, and what God is doing in our midst. Whether around a table or in worship, gathering allows us to celebrate, remember,…

In this series, we revisit our community’s vision and identity, exploring how the presence of God shapes who we are and how we live. Drawing from the Gospel of John, Jordan discusses how our life with God begins in belovedness and intimacy, and how that foundation calls us to embody Jesus’ presence in the world. As loneliness and disconnection grow…

In our final teaching in our "Make Good Choices" series, we dive into Paul's teachings from 1 Corinthians 6:12-20, where he addresses the Corinthian church's misunderstandings about sexual ethics and freedom. We explore how Paul's ancient wisdom on the value of the body and the importance of love and responsibility in our choices can guide us in de…

In part 3 of our series, Make Good Choices, Heather explores how a Christ-centered community can navigate differences through love, as highlighted in 1 Corinthians. Drawing on Paul's teachings, we discuss the challenges faced by the Corinthians, who, despite their spiritual knowledge, struggled with division and discord. The apostle Paul emphasizes…

In "Make Good Choices Pt. 2 - See You in Court," we explore how the Corinthian church's approach to conflict—taking disputes to corrupt Roman courts—contradicts the gospel's call for restoration and unity. Throughout this letter, Paul challenges us to handle disagreements within the church by embodying the future kingdom of God now, choosing love a…

In this teaching from Make Good Choices, Jonny explores the divisions that plagued the early church in Corinth and how they still resonate with us today. Drawing from 1 Corinthians 1:1, 10-18, we’ll discuss how Christians often align themselves with different leaders, ideologies, or interpretations, and the impact this has on our unity. Jonny unpac…

The Bible is a wonderful, beautiful, and (if we're being honest) confusing book. It contains some of the greatest stories, moral advice, and life giving wisdom while at the very same time it can be complicated, startling, and hard to understand.

What does peace have to do with the gospel? Peace is central to the mission and work of Jesus.
