Post Script

What is Advent, and why do we talk about Hope ever year? How is hope different than just optimism? Paul and Dave dive into why we pause and prepare this time of year, and how we practice reminding ourselves of the Hope found in Jesus.

How do we learn to recognize judgment in ourselves and turn to lives of humility? What can we learn from one another, and how do we embrace our differences? Join Dave and Paul (flipped this week!) as they ask and answer questions around questions around our final value, humility over judgement.

Isn't creativity only for the creative types, and what's so wrong with comfort? What role does risk and failure play in our lives, and why is Great Is Thy Faithfulness a song which should inspire creativity? Join Paul and Dave as they dig into this week's value of Creativity over Comfort.

How is it we respond when we see others receiving over-the-top generosity, and what does it reveal in our own hearts? How can we all move from self-centredness to a position of generosity with not only our money, but our gifts, time, friendships, and everything we are? Join Paul and Dave as they explore (and are convicted by!) this value that we think should mark us as followers of Jesus.

What does it look like to care more about multiplying disciples than adding to our church? How are we all called to multiplication and not just showing up and consuming services, programs, small groups, and whatever programs we feel like? Join Brad and Dave as they chat about another one of our values.

How does a little story about a soldier, athlete, and farmer help me engage with my faith? How do we move from apathy - either pushing off something important, or not being convinced it's important - to engagement, and what could our church look like a few years down the road? Join Paul and Dave as we dive into our second value in our How We Live series.

Why is it important to pray, and how does it shape us? How do we pray when we don't know what's coming next and in the face of seemingly unchangeable circumstances? Paul and Dave dive into the first (and last) of our values - Prayer over Everything.

How is it that our gatherings are a part of not only equipping us, but being the part of God's mission in the world? How can we each be a part of drawing the community together around the gospel, especially in this strange Covid world? Paul and Dave dig into our last week of the TOGATHER series around why setting time aside to come together to worship (whether in-person or online) shapes us in the way of Jesus.

Why do we include singing and preaching and prayer in our services, and how do they shape me? There's a reason that church is best done together and not just online watching your favourite preachers and worship artists. Dave and Paul pick up the conversation we started on Sunday morning and talk about what it is to discover God together.

In a season where it's so much harder for us to be in close proximity with people, we're forced to consider what kind of interactions we actually need with each other. Do we really need church for survival, and how do we reach out to those around us if we can't be gathered together in one physical location right now? Join Paul & Dave for this week's conversation.

Why is it important for me to gather with the church, and can I gather with people online or with a few people I like? Paul and Dave explore why the messy difficulty of gathering together is important, and why we choose to make it a priority as disciples of Jesus - even in these crazy COVID times.

COVID has us used to the new normal of digital church, but what should you be doing now that things are starting to reopen? Is the convenience of digital all good, and what about those who are higher risk? Dave dive into a conversation that will help you think through the ups and downs of whatever experience you choose in this difficult season, and why we think doing church weekly is so important.

Matthew 10 is full of all kinds of instructions for those who follow Jesus. How do we understand our rights and responsibilities, the power we've been given, the balance of word and deed, and being cunning and gentle? Join Paul and Dave as we wrestle our way through this fantastic passage.

Is there more going on in Jesus' healings than we pick up on first read? What do these actions say about the kingdom and who is welcomed into it? Paul and Dave chat about two amazing stories from Matthew 8.

The Sermon on the Mount ends with a familiar story of building a house on a foundation of sand or rock for when the storm comes - but what is the storm? How do we make sure we're building on the right foundation? Join Paul and Dave as we talk about being formed as we live under the king, and hear about some of our reopening plans at the end of our discussion.

Some of Jesus' most famous teaching - the sermon on the mount - talk about being blessed. What does that mean, and how do we understand these beatitudes in light of the King and his Kingdom? Join Paul, Dave and Brad as we dig into this passage in Matthew 5.

Does the call to follow Jesus today mean we should drop our careers like the disciples did, or is there something more foundational we're being called to? Join Paul and Dave as we explore what it is to be a subjects under the King - follower of Jesus.

We're back after our brief hiatus, and jumping into why we do a summer reading plan and what it looks like to follow the King into the Kingdom.

Is doubt an appropriate or even good part of our faith? How do we wrestle with the extraordinary and seemingly unbelievable resurrection, and can we take Jesus without the parts that are hard to believe? Paul and Dave chat about the place of doubt, the motivation behind our questions, and why the resurrection is key.

Palm Sunday is an invitation into the story of Jesus, but through Psalm 118 we see that our tendency is to interpret things the way we want to. Paul and Dave explore why this Psalm is so rich in pointing to Jesus, how we can be like the Pharisees and people waving palm branches on the road, and how we need to trust God to be in control.
