Matt’s message explores ways in which heaven was imagined in biblical times and in our contemporary world. Matt holds these images in tension and invites reflection on how we might imagine heaven in our lives today. Isaiah 60.1-9 frames the message.

Parched
Matt’s message is rooted in Isaiah 12. We gather both parched and overcome with tears in the wake of the tragic and senseless killing of children and teachers in Connecticut. We draw water from the wells of salvation. We sing. (3 of 4)
