As we hear this morning about the gift of Salvation we are challenged by Peter to respond in love, grace and mercy

This Easter Season we will journey through 1 Peter. This morning we look at the intro to this letter where Peter reminds us of our living hope. 

As we celebrate Easter today we ask the question why are we still in tombs when Jesus is calling us to resurrection life. 

When it comes to Palm Sunday, we are happy when Jesus is healer/teacher/blesser, but are we willing to  embrace Him as King/Lord

From the Beginning we hear that we are created and called for community 

As we continue our journey through Spiritual Disciplines we look today at prayer, and how we can pray because God has drawn near to us and longs for us to do the same

As we journey through the season of Lent this week we look at the Spiritual Discipline of Studying the Scriptures

This morning as we look at the Transfiguration of Christ we are reminded that Christ is called to be the leading voice in our lives, not just background noise

As we finish up our journey with Simon Peter we see how pride can move us from a place of following to trying to lead Jesus. 

In Matthew we hear of Peter walking on water, but even amidst this he has doubt. We unpacked what it means to have doubt, and how we can address our doubt in a way that is formative for our faith. 

As we hear about Peter's denial and the ensuing shame, we find that shame needs secrecy, silence and judgement to survive, but can  be overcome through authentic and vulnerable relationships

Today we continued our journey of identity. We began to look at those things that keep us from our identity by looking at insecurities and where they are rooted

As we look at the Baptism of Jesus, we see what this can show us about who  we are called and created to be 

This week we journeyed through the idea of Epiphany and how we can live seeking epiphanies daily 

As we celebrate Christmas we are reminded that the gift of Jesus Christ is not for God-sake, but FOR US
