Who Do You Say I Am

Who is Jesus to you? How would you introduce Him to someone else? The fact that the Bible has four distinct Gospel accounts tells us that there are many different facets to Jesus’s identity and story. By exploring the unique angles of the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, we can encounter Jesus with a fresh sense of wonder, and embrace the call to curate His story for our neighbors today!

The Great I AM

Apr 2, 2023

Who is Jesus? That’s the question we all must answer. It’s tempting to view Him as a wise teacher, enlightened person, or even as a demigod. Yet, John over and over again returns to the complete divinity of Jesus as God enfleshed; the one who embodies God’s presence, love and wisdom. But how can a human also be God?

The Inclusion Advocate

Mar 26, 2023

In this world, we naturally section off into tribes of people who are like us. As people who avoid discomfort, we fear the cost of engaging with people who are different. But what if our comfort isn’t high up on Jesus’ list? What if his hopes for us can only be fully realized through embracing community with all people?

The Incredible Hero

Mar 19, 2023

Sometimes we forget just how revolutionary Jesus is. We can easily settle into practicing routine religion, where nothing really changes. Our Christianity can become a thought exercise that doesn’t result in any real action. Comfortable faith seems to fit nicely into our lives, but what if it wasn’t meant to?

The Promised King

Mar 12, 2023

The first-century Israelites were a people mourning the loss of their kingdom. Living under the rule of Rome, they longed for a king of their own to bring them political salvation. Just like people today, they didn’t see Jesus as the answer. What would it look like, and what would it change, if we would live like Jesus is our king?

The Manifold Witness

Mar 5, 2023

Why does the Bible contain four biographies of Jesus that each tell his story so differently? For some of us, this can introduce doubts about the reliability of scripture. For many of us, this means figuring out how to piece the four narratives together. But what if in doing so, we’re actually missing out on the full picture of Jesus that can only be seen through four separate stories?
