Faith That Heals the World
Is there something lacking in Christ’s suffering? Did Paul really mean that he could “fill up what is still lacking” in Jesus’ afflictions? And what does that mean for your life today? In this week’s sermon, we dive deep into Colossians chapter 2, exploring the tension between divine reconciliation and human responsibility.
Cosmic. Personal. Jesus.
What does the universe have to do with your daily life? In this opening message of our new series on Colossians, we explore the mystery and depth of Paul’s poetic vision—anchored in a Christ who holds all things together.
Cosmic Thoughts for Daily Life
Colossians is a fascinating study in contrasts. This series will explore the relationship between the cosmic vision presented by the writer and the practical, down-to-earth advice offered to the readers.
Death and Dying
Today we explore themes of death, grief, resurrection, and "small d" and "big D" death, using passages from Matthew 9. Bobbi also introduces the "Dual Process Model of Coping with Bereavement" and the "Ars Moriendi," offering practical ways to think about and prepare for death and grief.
Is Marriage All There Is?
Bobbi explores the theme of marriage and partnership in our "Strange New World" series, reflecting on how the resurrection reshapes our lives. We'll dive into what the Bible says (or doesn't say!) about relationships, Jesus' teachings, and what it means to build "pocket parks" of love in our lives.
Worship Night: May 14, 2025
At Worship Night you are invited to pause and take a moment to find rest in the presence of God.
This is an extended space for our community to gather for singing, prayer, and to share communion together. We want to catch our spiritual breath, fill our lungs with hope and praise, and find ourselves renewed in the presence of God.
Why Baptism Matters
Baptism is more than just a ritual — it’s a layered encounter with grace that stretches from ancient Jewish practices to the earliest Christian communities. But why do we do it? And how does it shape our faith today?
What's the Church's Mission?
The thing about living resurrection is that we live it even as we wait for it. Resurrection re-orders life with the expectation that nothing is ever really over. After the winter, there’s the warm spring. After the violence, there’s the opportunity to practice peace. In the dark early morning, there’s the contemplation of a transformed friend.
The Table Changes Everything
In this Easter reflection, we step into the Strange New World of resurrection and explore why the Eucharist, Communion, and the Lord’s Supper have always been at the heart of Christian practice. Long before the gospels were written, before theology was fully formed, the first followers of Jesus gathered around a table — and they experienced grace you could taste.
Strange New World
Easter plops us into a world that is supposed to feel brand new. We’ve just experienced resurrection, after all. Shouldn’t the world be all white daisies and blue skies? Well, yes and no.
The Natural State of the Cosmos
In this honest, layered Easter message, Jeremy shares a deeply personal reflection on parenting, grief, and the story of Jesus’ death and resurrection. From losing a beloved family dog to wrestling with theological shorthand that reduces Easter to a transaction, this is an exploration of why the cross is not about God’s anger — but about God’s grace.
Good Friday
On this solemn Good Friday, we remember the profound sacrifice of Your Son, Jesus Christ. In his suffering, we see the depths of Your love for us. As we reflect on the cross, may our hearts be moved by his pain and inspired by his obedience. Help us to grasp the magnitude of his sacrifice and the grace it offers.
Palm Sunday
On this Palm Sunday, we join the joyful chorus, shouting “Hosanna!” as we celebrate Jesus’ triumphant entry into Jerusalem. We thank You for sending Your Son, our humble King, who comes in peace and love. As we wave our palms and lay down our cloaks, may we open our hearts to welcome him fully. Help us to follow his path of humility, service, and sacrifice. Prepare us for the journey ahead, through the joy and the sorrow, leading us to the promise of resurrection.
Temptation, Evil, and Kingdom
Today we explore the powerful conclusion to the Lord's Prayer, examining the familiar yet mysterious lines about temptation, evil, and the well-known benediction: "For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory forever.
How to Pray for Forgiveness
Today, we dive into one of the most challenging and profound lines from the Lord’s Prayer: "Forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors," or is it "trespasses"? In this powerful exploration, we unpack the deep metaphors behind "debts" and "trespasses," examining our obligations, broken boundaries, and the true possibilities of forgiveness.
Daily Bread & Polyvagal Theory
In this thought-provoking talk, Bobbi delves into the historical and social context of this prayer, connecting it to the Exodus story and the concept of Sabbath rest. She shares personal reflections on her own prayer journey and the many forms prayer can take.
Reimagining ‘Our Father’
Ultimately, this message encourages us to reimagine prayer as sacred conversation—where we are fully known, completely safe, and unconditionally loved. It's a space where authenticity meets divine embrace.
How NOT to Pray
We’ll unpack how prayer can be humorous, deeply honest, and profoundly human—all at once. Maybe prayer was never meant to be a formula, performance, or tool for divine manipulation. Maybe Jesus’ famous prayer—the one you’ve heard a thousand times—was always meant to teach us more about ourselves than about how to impress God.
