Peace in the Midst of Darkness

Join us this week as we continue exploring the story of Noah and see how Noah learned to trust God for a salvation beyond what he could manufacture on his own.  

Tevah

What was the reason for the flood found in the story of Noah?  This week we look at the reason given for the flood in Genesis as compared to another ancient Babylonian story.  Listen as we find a revolutionary way to understand God and what this God desires for humanity and all creation.

Wholeness

Here is the audio of our June 27th church meeting giving an update about where we are as a church.

June 2021 all church meeting

In the final week of our "Bad Religion" series, Jesus condemns the religious establishment for neglecting to follow the message of the prophets.  While they hold great respect for the prophets, they have forgotten the significance of their message and missed the life God has for them.  The life Jesus was calling people back to.

Paying lip service to the Prophets

The danger of an iceberg exists not in what is seen, but in the hidden parts lying under the surface. In this sixth woe, Jesus again highlights the importance of our focusing on our inner life for producing the peace and joy we're all after.

Whitewashed Tombs

This week, Heiko Schwarz delivers his final sermon to Awaken before leaving for his next adventure. Join us as Heiko talks about how to live in this world while living in awareness of the permanent home promised by Christ.

A Permanent Home

As we continue our series on "The Woes of Jesus", we see Jesus condemning a way of being that focuses exclusively on the external life while giving no attention to the inner life.  Join us this week as we explore how the inner life is where true power comes from.

First, the Inside

In this 4th Woe, Jesus critiques the religious leaders for neglecting the "more important matters of the law".  What are the more important matters Jesus is referring to?  And how do we arrange our lives in such a way that we live fully into the types of people God desires for us all to be?  Join us this week as we explore these questions and more!

Swallowing Camels

Which words matter? Some words or all words? As we explore this third woe, we see Jesus critique a system that valued some words over others. In doing so, he exposes a way of living that creates a false distinction between sacred and non-sacred moments of life.

The Words We Speak

Jesus harshly critiques the type of faith being produced by the religious establishment of his time. Join us this week as we look at how Jesus talked about faith and what that faith produced within people.

Sons of Hell

Join us this week as guest speaker Mitch Massey looks at three timeless truths found in the book of Job!

Guest Speaker Mitch Massey - Job

In the first of 7 criticisms directed toward the religious leaders, Jesus faults them for being the self-appointed guardians of God.  They are deciding who is allowed access to God while they themselves are not experiencing the love and grace of God.  Join us this week as we look at why the religious leaders were missing God and how we can experience God in our lives today.

Bouncers at the door

In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus offers a scathing critique against some of the religious establishment. Join us this week as we begin a new journey exploring these 7 critiques compared to the true religion that Jesus offers.

Religion According to Jesus

What if I told you that we can learn about the power of prayer....from trees? Could it be that the cosmos God created is embedded with lessons about connectivity, strength and resilience that Jesus tapped into? We will look at an example from the life of Jesus and discuss how prayer not only infuses us with inspiration and connection, but also is the source of communion and life-giving relationships.
