Epiphany | Something New Is Coming.

We live in a chaotic, unpredictable world. Yet when God promises to bring newness of life, He doesn't do it outside of the choas - He brings it right in the middle of it. (Isaiah 43:1-2, 16-19)

Christmas | Light Breaks Through

Light breaks through the darkness as new creation dawns. Together as a community, we bear witness to the light by radically centering Jesus - and inviting others to do the same. (John 1:1-5)

Christmas | The Solidarity Of God

At the end of Luke 2, we get a brief picture of the life of Jesus between his birth and ministry - an incredibly human story. Christmas celebrates incarnation of God in flesh. But why does it even matter than Jesus took on our humanity? (Luke 2:41-52)

Advent | Mary‘s Protest Song

When the reality sets in and her cousin Elizabeth affirms the incredible promise of God in her life, Mary sings a song. But this song? It's less "Kumbaya" and more "A Change Is Gonna Come." Thats right - Mary sings a protest song. (Luke 1:36-55)

Advent | Salvation In The Here And Now

The songs and prayers of God’s people sang of a salvation that would one day come. Today, talk of salvation and “getting saved” can mean so much to so many different people. So what is salvation? And more importantly, why is it good news? (Isaiah 12:2-6)

Advent | Prepare The Way

This week, Alicia Sims shares about the calling to prepare the way for the coming of the King - a work that's rooted in repentance, forgiveness, and renewal. (Luke 3:1-6)

Advent | Longing For Justice

Jeremiah speaks of the longing of God's people for a just, righteous King. Today, as we begin the Advent season, we join them in longing for the day King Jesus brings justice and righteousness on earth as it is in heaven.

(Jeremiah 33:14-16)

Anchors | We Learn Through Embodied Participation

Much of the American Christian plan for discipleship has centered on the idea that information = transformation. But the truth we find in the Scriptures points to a different path - one that partners with God through embodied acts of trust. (Matthew 7:24-27)

Anchors | Discipleship Is Learning How To Love

For followers of Jesus, love is the measure of success. If we're not growing in our love for God, neighbor, and enemy, then we're missing the point. (Ephesians 3:17-19)

Anchors | What God Does Through Us He Also Does In Us

Justin shares this week's Anchoring truth and interviews Maggie Middleton from Amachi and Lexington Leadership Foundatioj about local youth mentoring opportunities. (Isaiah 61:1-6)
