In the first version (yes, there are two) of the fourth commandment (Ex.…

Chapter 2 of the book “Growing in Faith” quotes a passage of Richard Rohr to help us understand what faith is: “For Jesus, faith is not opposed to not believing in God, it doesn’t mean you go to church, or that you’re into religion or that you say “Lord, Lord” (Matthew 7:21).

We journey with John’s Gospel in the season of Easter as we practice resurrection through the lens of “The Art of Gathering” by Priya Parker. Priya Parker writes in a section of chapter five titled “Before your event starts, it has begun,” “Your gathering begins at the moment your guests first learn of it.

We journey with John’s Gospel in the season of Easter as we practice resurrection through the lens of “The Art of Gathering” by Priya Parker. Priya Parker writes, “Now you know how to craft a bold and clear purpose for your gathering and how to close doors based on it. The next step is to think about your role as host. How will you run your gathering? “CHILL” IS SELFISHNESS DISGUISED AS KINDNESS.” Pastor Matt’s message invites reflection on how the Risen One calls us to host. Worship online with thetable.live.
