Where Are You From? (I’ve Been Meaning to Ask...)

(Jenny Sung) The story of Jesus calling the disciples provides a helpful charge for the whole series: to “come and see” what the journey holds. In this first week, we wish to address how the question, “Where are you from?” is sometimes coupled with assumptions, judgments, and even microaggressions—all of which can be exhausting and painful to receive. Our hope is to acknowledge, disrupt, and release the assumptions we hold about others. In order to build connection and trust, we need to listen to each other’s stories and experiences to learn who and what has shaped us. We also need to feel seen and known for who we are.

At The Feet of Jesus

(Jenny Sung) Maybe the story of Martha and Mary is more about throwing cultural norms out the window. Because of who God is we are no longer prisoners to “shoulds” and “oughts”We are resurrection people do we live most of our lives as prisoners captive to the demands and expectations of this world or do we live like people who have been set free and extend that freedom to others?

Among the Wolves

(Jenny Sung) Jesus sends out the 72 without anything except one another and the wild Holy Spirit. How do we respond when it feels like we are among the wolves? How is God inviting us to be glimpses of the dome where God reigns on earth as it is in heaven? How can we share the gifts God gave us such as grace and love which leads to life and freedom. Instead of succumbing to the tools, the world uses that lead to death and destruction?

Fruit Season

(Natalia Terfa) A well-known set of verses are in front of us today, but I wonder if we’ve ever subjected these “fruits of the spirit” to the text-context loop I talked about a few weeks ago. We are reminded that when the spirit is present and active, certain “fruit” follows. How might we seek this kind of fruit season work and life in our current day and time?

Unbound

(Jenny Sung) The glory of God is humans fully alive, and yet the world often prefers us bound. How is the Good News of God inviting us into fullness and deliverance? Can we even imagine what it could feel like to be that free?

Wild and Free

(Natalia Terfa) Jesus tells the disciples that the spirit will come to help guide them and lead them and speak for God out in the world once Jesus is gone. What does this mean exactly? How do we know what to look for and who to listen to? Who or what is the Holy Spirit anyway?

Grad Sunday

Captivity, Usefulness, and Liberation in the Kingdom of God

(Natalia Terfa) This story from Acts is not one we are drawn to like some of the others in this Easter Season. The story about a slave who stops being useful and how Paul and Silas interact with her and the system that responds to her liberation with more captivity has a lot to say to us today as we are left in the ashes of the Uvalde school shooting.

Surprising, Prevailing, Foreign Hospitality Built The Church

(Chad Brekke) The Bible is full of stories of people who never should have met, changing the course of history.  Only two of these stories include the kind of hospitality that won’t take no for an answer, and one of those involves the risen Christ! Have you ever considered that accepting the hospitality of others is sometimes the Christian thing to do?
