An advent examen on love

It all begins with barren and the old. Gabriel appears to Zechariah and told him to get ready. John the Baptist would also tell us to get ready for a Savior to be born.

Sitting with Jesus in Joy

God had always been preparing the way.

Denise Dynes guides a contemplative prayer on peace for week 2 of advent. 

“At midnight someone shouted, ‘The groom is here! Come to meet him!’ Matthew 25:1-13

2 Samuel 23:2-7

"We must go through many hardships to enter the kingdom of God." 

Gavin takes us back into Acts chapter 14

Eric Shenk takes us through the parable of the pharisee and the tax collector. 

Denise invites our inner child to the table as we image the kingdom described by Jesus as yeast in flour. 

Pastor of Missio Dei in Salt Lake City speaks with us about his favorite parable and how it is one of our best images of what God is like showing us that "The good news is bigger and better than we imagined."

Jesus told good stories to break bad spells. In this series we look at the power of parables to change us without short cutting the process of change in us. As we look together at his teachings we also will ask the question of what does this change not just for me but for my church as well.

The son of man came eating and drinking, so should we! How might breaking bread with others shape your missional life?

The rhythms of your home shape your family's formation and capacity to love. 

Taking care of the house, raising kids and all the other "have to do's" that exist often compete for the very thing that makes them possible, marriage. Covenantal love for one another, no surprise, is at the middle of your home.

The best you is the best thing for your children. Who we become in Jesus means more than we realize. Have you ever asked yourself if a person were to spend a week with me in my home, what would they think I cared the most about? If you have kids I bet they could answer that.

If our faith doesn't reach our homes, what value does it hold? Jesus calls us to build our house on the rock, symbolizing that our home is more than just a physical space—it's also the bedrock of our spiritual life. The modern concept of "keeping Christ in our homes" underscores the fact that our identity in Christ may not fully permeate every area of our lives. Our homes are the central setting for spiritual growth and formation. In this series, we'll explore how you can transform your home into a partner in pursuing Christlikeness.
