Why do we believe what we believe? How do we live because of what we believe? Jeremiah leads us in a teaching, looking at two stories from Acts, to explore how "reason" plays a role in the development of our faith, and our engagement with the world around us.Από τον Jeremiah Johnson

God moves when God's people come together. God moves when God's people wait. God moves when God's people surrender to the Spirit's movement. The Spirit's movement unites the unlikeliest of characters—living stones built-up together in God's house.Από τον Daniel Hickman

Are there different kinds of truths? Are all facts truthful, all truths factual? How do you communicate truth that can only be seen through the eyes of the heart? In true Marty fashion, we ask questions, seeking to fill our toolbox with a few more tools for engaging the bible well.Από τον Marty Solomon

Today, Marty invites us to consider how we posture ourselves towards the bible, suggesting that “asking better questions of the bible,” is one way we mature in our discipleship. Marty touches on many themes including: why it’s important to understand the bible as a singular, cohesive narrative; the differences between the bible’s distinct sections …

In order to understand the bible well, apply the bible well, engage the bible well, and utilize the bible well, the bible must be (scary word) “interpreted.” In this second teaching in our, “How We Read the Bible” series, Jeremiah invites us to look closer at how we draw meaning from this collection of ancient voices—that which comes from the Spiri…

We “round the corner” in our 5-part series through Lamentations and ask: is there any hope? Might the circumstances we suffer, the situations that bring us sorrow, the realities that leave us anguished bring us closer to new life? So it was for Jesus. So it might be for us?Από τον Megan Trischler

The poetry of Lamentations invites us into “the tensive interplay of unresolvable, open dialogue”—with affliction, with grief, with persistent suffering.

Lament is a physical and embodied expression of grief, based on the recognition that things are not as they should be. When we take our pain to God, we proclaim hope—to ourselves and to our communities—that we believe things will change.

The Apostle Paul exhorts, “Rejoice always,” (1 Thessalonians 5:16) but what does this mean? And how do we do it?

As contemporary Christians, it’s tempting to look at the church depicted in Acts 2, and say, “Yeah! That’s how we need to be!” And yet, with the best of intentions, our attempts to practice the rhythms we see in the early church somehow always fall short. We fool ourselves thinking we can look exactly like the church in Acts. However, what can we l…
