It's A Journey

Session 7.02 for January 11, 2015

Our lives of faith are not one time, single occurrences in our lives. Rather, they are a journey that is a part of our lives. We will have bench marks along the way — important moments of understanding. But, we will also continue to grow and change across the whole course of our faith journey.

Session 7.01 for January 4, 2015

The story of the wise men is one of those beloved stories we all love to remember. Who doesn't love the story of the three kings bringing gifts to Jesus? When we are so familiar with a story, we are also often connected only to one understanding of the story. As you explore the story this week, keep your heart open to a new understanding of the story.

Session 6.52 for December 28, 2014

What does it mean to you when someone says you are a child of God? Who are God's children? In today's passage, Paul is encouraging early Christians by reminding them that God has chosen to make them his children and as children of God, they are heirs with Christ.

God Came for Justice

Session 6.51 for December 21, 2014

On this fourth Sunday of Advent, we are getting closer to celebrating the birth of Jesus. We will open our presents and eat good food. Yet, Jesus did not come into this world to simply give us the warm and fuzzy feelings each December. Jesus came to this world to transform it, to bring those on the outside to the inside, to raise up those who are low and bring down those who are mighty; to make those who seem to us as expendable know their worth. For those of us who tend to look over those in this world who are on the margin, Jesus came to transform us as well.

Session 6.50 for December 14, 2014

In the book of 1 Thessalonians, Paul writes to encourage early Christians as they re-imagine what it means to wait on the return of Christ. His aim is to tell them that though they are waiting longer than they expected to, they could endure by seeking joy, prayer, and showing thanks.
