Shouting & Silence

Our Lenten worship series is inspired by A Sanctified Art and called Everything [In] Between. This worship series is an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. Pastor Matt’s message invites reflection on Luke 19.29-40. Jesus doesn’t instigate his own parade. Instead, just his quiet presence alone inspires the multitude to shout out and praise God. When the religious leaders try to silence the crowd, Jesus tells them that the…

Righteousness & Mercy

Our Lenten worship series is inspired by A Sanctified Art and called Everything [In] Between. This worship series is an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. Pastor Matt’s message invites reflection on Jesus’ encounter with Zacchaeus in Luke 19.1-10. The crowds grumble at Jesus’ self-invitation to stay with Zacchaeus, and their righteous indignation isn’t without cause. As a tax collector, Zacchaeus has extorted money and acted in collusion with…

Lost & Found

Intention & Action (Ash Wednesday)

Our Lenten worship series is inspired by A Sanctified Art and called Everything [In] Between. This worship series will be an invitation to navigate the polarities in our lives with more faith, intention, and openness to be transformed. Each weekly sub-theme explores two supposed binaries, like “faith & works” or “rest & growth,” or “grief & hope.” We often consider these ideas to be opposing. However, as we explore these concepts within the scriptures, we find nuance and complexity. We find…

Action Verbs

CLIMATE + FAITH: A Lenten worship series at The Table on how we can help meet the greatest challenge in human history. We turn this week to Mark 11:1-11 and Palm Sunday.

How does it enrich your experience of the movement for a healthy climate? Worship online with thetable.live. CCLI #805699 / CCLI…

Talking the Walk

CLIMATE + FAITH: A Lenten worship series at The Table on how we can help meet the greatest challenge in human history. We turn this week to John 3.14-21 and wonder about how the tendency by imperial Christianity to lift the single verse — John 3.16 — out of context might be reconsidered in light of it’s very context. How might the biblical stories alluded to by John 3, help us to listen more deeply to the stories of our…

What we stand for Is what we stand on

Our Lenten worship series is rooted in scripture and the Sabbath poetry of Wendell Berry; today’s Palm Sunday worship invites reflection on Jesus’ entry into Jerusalem from Matthew 21:1-11 & Wendell Berry’s Poem I, 1986, “Slowly, slowly, they return” (This Day, 71).
