Not read Kierkegaard or Works of Love? Here are a couple videos to help you:

Way. Truth. Life.

We have a difficult combination of texts today - the stoning of Stephen, Jesus preparing in heaven. How might these texts tell us the story of perseverance in love?

An Embodied Community

Have you noticed how different our shows treat family? These aren't the days of Steve Urkel and "Cut. It. Out."

But what is it saying about our sense of community? Can we grasp it anymore? Does it require supernatural abilities? We'll tackle that today.

Have you managed to start your garden yet? There's a lot of work the first year, but there's so much that changes in the years after - the seeds even tell the story of the past but the promise of the future!

Have you ever played Telestrations? Or gone out backpacking and needed to find fresh water? If so, you know it's important to get as close to source as possible in order to get things right.

Jesus, Immanuel, Forever Remaining

Did you wake up before sunrise this morning? Did you stumble in the dark, or did you reach for a light?

Jesus, Immanuel, Forever

We kick off our Epiphanytide series "Jesus, Emmanuel, Forever." If our New Years texts invite us to do the present work, how do we feel secure and ask the right questions? The texts today remind us it's a never-tiring Jesus who frames our safety and security. The question remains: what if the church asked if they truly lived out Jesus' call?

Finding Hope Within: Life

Joseph is a understated figure in the gospels. In fact, this is one of the few moments he's center stage... but would you want this kind of moment broadcasted to the world? We unfold that today, and that even when things are difficult, there is hope underneath.
