Our Family Pastor, Sarah Fetz, shares a message this morning from Colossians 2 on our Shared Identity in Christ, and she introduces our new Elementary and Middle School curriculum for the coming church year, "God's Big Story."

Today’s passage from Colossians is one of the earliest known Christian hymns. Christ, Paul tells us, is the perfect picture of the otherwise-invisible God. What does this tell us about theology and understanding the Bible? And how do we make Christ the key to unlock the rest of our living?

This morning our friend, Rev. Benjamin Wills, shares a fresh perspective on The Good Samaritan story of Luke 10, encouraging us to consider the ways mercy is shown without limit and without bounds.

Jesus’ Kingdom is the freest of countries. It is absolutely clear God calls you to a free life, Scripture says. But what does freedom in Christ’s Kingdom really mean? And how do we become fluent in the words and ways of freedom while living in a culture that understands freedom very differently?

As we transition from Pentecost to Ordinary Time, Jordan reflects on the fruit and flow of the Holy Spirit in daily life. Galatians 5 helps us enter the imagination of two ways of being in the world. How can we participate in the holy rhythm of life in God’s way?

Keith Jennings shares the message with The Parish this morning. Listen along as we discuss the inward and outward, Holy Rhythm through all of scripture.

Staying with the theme of Pentecost, Jordan recounts how Jesus restored and re-storied the life of Peter around three fires. How might Jesus be at work in us too, to give a new Spirit and imagination for life with God?

On the Day of Pentecost, we enter into the story of the early Church becoming a community formed by the Holy Spirit, and consider what Pentecost might mean for our local church in light of our upcoming House Churches.

As Jordan continues discussing our new house church model at The Parish, he uses the Prodigal Son story as a framework to navigate conflict and reconciliation together.

Jordan shares how we plan to cultivate community moving into the fall and beyond. As we enter a new season as a church family, we have dreamed and planned for what community life at The Parish could look like and are excited to finally share more with you!
