Learning to See Like Mary (Luke 1:46-55)

It's the last Sunday of 2012 and what better way to wrap up the Christmas Season (and the year) than by looking at how Mary is able to see beyond her circumstances to what God is doing in the world through her. Is this how you see God's redemptive activity?

A Kingdom of Love (Luke 1:26-33)

Here we are - already to the fourth week in Advent and the theme is love. This week we look at Mary's response to the news that she is going to become an unwed teenage mother. Is this the response that God really wants from us?

A Kingdom of Joy (Isaiah 59)

How do we experience joy in the midst of so much difficulty and darkness in our lives? In the wake of the school massacre in Newtown, CT, how do we make sense of it? How do we find joy when there's so much evil in this world?

A Kingdom of Peace (Luke 1:8-20, 26-33)

It's the second week of Advent (and the theme is peace). How do we actually experience peace in the midst of darkness and fear? Looking at the characters of Zechariah and Mary (the mother of Jesus) just might teach us something about how the Christmas story ought to bring us peace.

The Keys to the Kingdom (Matthew 16:12-20)

Fellow church planter (and friend) from San Marcos, Texas, shares with us how there's a surprising benefit when the Kingdom of God breaks into this world - God brings order to the places where there is chaos! One of the places God desires order is within the church. Aaron Scott begins to share with us the roadmap towards us becoming a more organized and orderly church.
