Waking Up to Share Our Faith Stories
Linda’s message is rooted in Psalm 105 and the Thomas Long’s Testimony: Talking Ourselves into Being Christian. How might we wake up each morning in ways that empower us to discern what God is doing in the world and then join God in those activities? This is the second week in a four-week series called Talking Ourselves into Being Christian.
Testimony
Matt’s message is rooted in Psalm 139 and the Thomas Long’s Testimony: Talking Ourselves into Being Christian. How do we reclaim Jesus’ call to witness to our faith? This is the first week in a four-week series called Talking Ourselves into Being Christian.
jacob the trickster
Matt’s message is rooted in Genesis 25.19-34 and the writing of Marion Grau. Jacob is both an unabashed trickster and God’s preference. How might we address this tension? How have tricksters followed in the ways of Jesus? How might God call us to such ways today? This is the final week in our five-week worship series called World Cup: Rhythms of Faith from Around the World.
Independence, Sin, & Repentance
Linda’s message is rooted in Romans 7.15-25 and the writings of George Tinker, an American Indian theologian who teaches at Iliff Seminary. What might Native Americans teach us about US independence and how does Paul’s understanding of sin inform our need for repentance? This is the fourth week of our five-week worship series on the World Cup: Rhythms of Faith from Around the World.
