Our Stations of the Cross this year were put together by five artists from our community. What a delight to gather and spend time with these this Holy Week. (They’ll be up till Easter if you haven’t had a chance to see them yet!)

Join us this Thursday for a creative evening with art and other embodied ways of entering into the events of Holy Week!

Most people, whether or not they are religious believers, think of faith and reason as strangers at best, enemies at worst. But the Bible and historic Christian thinkers saw them as friends and partners in the common project of understanding and engaging appropriately with all of reality. In this presentation we’ll explore (the beginnings of) answers to these questions: What exactly are faith and reason? How and why did their friendship and partnership break apart? How can they be put back together again? The goal is to find a better, more compelling vision for both faith and reason.

Join us for our 2nd LENS Discussion, as Dr. David Horner leads us in a discussion of faith and reason.

If you missed yesterday's service, it's not too late to tune in!

The people of God have often found themselves dispersed in the world, lacking a geographical center. But because Jesus is always with us, we never lack our true center."

It may be good for us to ask ourselves, what our experiences over the last year have revealed about our own need for healing. What is God showing us about our need for His fresh touch in our lives? What does it mean to let go of our shackles?

Hebrews show us the very character of God, a character in which we are to demonstrate in a truly, liberating way. It's not a heavy command, rather, it is rather a gift that shows us what it means to be truly human, made in the image of God.

We won't find satisfactory answers to the realities of this world. Hebrews tells us that in order to run this race with perseverance, we have to lay aside every weight and the sin that clings so closely (Hebrews 12:1-13, John 1:14-18). As much as we want to avoid the pain, Scripture tells us that God's intended glory is vested in Jesus. Now crowned with glory and honor, by the grace of God, he might taste death for everyone.

Join us for this special Q&A, with Dr. Gregory Ganssle!
Save the date!: February 25

Beauty entices us. We seek it out. We long to create it. In this lecture we will explore our persistent longing for Beauty. We will see how this longing makes sense within the Christian Story because God is the Master Artist. He creates a beautiful world, and he makes artists.

The rest that God always desired for His people is not a geographic location. Rather, it is a centering in the very life of God (Hebrews 4:1-12, Mark 1:14-20). The invitation is not into their rest, but rather into His rest!

As Jesus is fully man, He became one of us (Hebrews 2:14-18, 3:1-8, John 1:43-51)! In Jesus, God experiences the full extent of the human experience: conception, birth, life, suffering, and ultimately death. Today, Pastor Mike McNichols preaches on one of the most human aspects of Jesus: being tested.
