God as King
God is King. We find this “snapshot” of God all over Scripture, but do we treat God with the awe and reverence that should be bestowed upon the King of Kings? To see God as King is an invitation to submission and surrender with reverence and a healthy fear and awe of who God really is.
God as Mother
God is not a man. It’s a fact about God we often forget despite the many motherly and feminine portrayals of God we find in Scripture. When we avoid or omit these snapshots of God, we miss out on a God that loves and protects like a mother — with ferocity, compassion, and empathy.
God as Father
The snapshots of God we find in Scripture provide glimpses of the complexity and beauty of our Creator, each portrayal or metaphor of God in the Bible revealing a unique aspect of His character. In this new sermon series, we begin by looking at God as Father. What we find in Scripture may surprise you. Jesus reveals the Father’s love as compelling rather than coercive, comforting rather than rigid, and celebratory rather than cold.
And Witness
This Pentecost Sunday, we remember and celebrate the day the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus’ first followers, fulfilling His promise to send the Spirit as a helper and comforter. Reflect, learn, and worship with us as we grow in our understanding of the Holy Spirit and His role in our witness to the people around us.
In the Church
In Acts 2, we find a body of believers devoted to the apostles’ teaching, each other, the breaking of bread, and prayer. In a world of consumption, do those characteristics still define the Church today? The Church does not exist for itself – it exists to advance God’s Kingdom on Earth and to reveal His love to people who are not yet part of it.
