Jesus introduces his follower to a new cadence for life. It is disorienting; it flips what they know of the world on its head. But, it is an invitation to an ordinary life that unexpectedly matters.

We exist between the already and the not yet—the unfurling of God's Kingdom begun in Jesus and not yet complete. As we wait, we do so actively, together and with hope.

In the middle of our chaos, God brings peace—both a calm in the midst of chaos (through faith) as well as plucking up life and beauty from it.

The Christmas story is one in which God chooses to enter into our most chaotic spaces—and what God assumes (takes on) in Jesus, God promises to redeem.

Tim wraps it all up.

Here is the word of challenge for us today – get rid of the stuff that prevents you from being or doing what God has created and is calling you to be.

The first lever of Jesus Kingdom way is that of belonging and invitation. We explore what it means for us to know that we are worthy of God's love, and that true belonging is possible.

All that Jesus did and taught involved two key components—a word of challenge and a word of invitation. Through obedience (responding to challenge) we can come to understand love.

Every once in a while, it is a good thing to get back to the basics. In this sermon, we take a look at what it means to be a Family on Mission, and the different ways we belong to each other.

We lay Paul's three major learnings across his three journeys to see what there is for us to glean from his experience. Paul, over the course of his ministry took three (or really four as we will see) journeys around the Mediterranean region. And with each successive trip seems to gain new insight in how ministry ought to be done.

Listen in as we delve into the conversion of Paul, and try to wrap our heads around the 10 or so "missing years" between it and the part of his story we know.

What is this new Resurrection community like, and what does it mean for us to be a part of it?

What do we make of Jesus' death, and what does it really mean in the grand scheme of things?

The two distinct but complementary themes of Covenant (God’s loving relationship with us) and Kingdom (God’s rule and reign over us) form a sort of double-helix like structure that can be traced throughout the Bible. Listen in as we spend the next few weeks looking at these two themes: where they appear, what they change, and how they can change us.
