Noticing Details

Angels & Innkeepers

Having our lives radically changed and even threatened allows us to be engaged by scripture on a deeper level, particularly the stories around the birth of the Messiah. Our focus this year is paying attention to all of the details told to us in scripture in hope of seeing the whole picture and coming into a new understanding of what Christmas means.

After looking at the human characteristics whereby people worked against the ministry of Jesus and brought about the death of a good man, we turn our attention to looking at the human characteristics present in Jesus. We certainly want to avoid being against Jesus. What does it mean to be for Jesus?

against jesus' ministry

Killing Jesus. The tortured death of a good man was not a random event but the intended outcome of determined humans. We will be talking about the human characteristics which combined to bring about the death of Jesus.

The Big Top on Human Sexuality

We walk through a very deep examination of what the bible says about all of human sexuality… and surprise… it doesn’t say what our cultural religion says it does! The willingness to do violence to the biblical text to make it support an extraneous agenda is also addressed.

Stress and anxiety are normal. We can either figure out effective ways to manage them, or they will manage us.

Grief comes to us in ways that feel like being hit with a brick or hurled into an abyss. Utterly disorienting, terribly frightening. We find ourselves filled with unfamiliar feelings we’d like to deny, bypass or suppress.

When we start a conversation about race, we are constrained to question ourselves. We do not see ourselves as racist; in fact, we deplore racism. But what if, despite all our best intentions, we don’t realize that some of our ‘givens’, some of our core beliefs about people and the ways of the world and some of how we understand ourselves are tinged with racism that is so familiar it has eluded our awareness?
