October 27, 2024: Who is Your King? - Hannah Thom

Oct 27 2024 27 mins  
Just like the many who welcomed Jesus as King, so we welcome Jesus into our world, often forgetting he wants to welcome us into his. When will we give up on our way of doing things and remember, we cling to the hope that it has all been done! “Behold, I make all things new …” This is the promise that we cling to, uttered from the mouth of God. The question is will our life be

October 20, 2024: Hiding Out in the House - Maggie Knight

Oct 22 2024 31 mins  
Jesus goes wild in the temple. But given its sheer size, this was likely nothing more than a small skirmish off the side of the larger area. One that many barely noticed. And when he was done with his outburst, those buying and selling and exchanging money likely righted their booths and tables and kept on doing their thing. What can get lost in all of this is the only words Jesus

October 13, 2024: A Picture is Just the Beginning - Hannah Thom

Oct 20 2024 43 mins  
No one knows the future. We pretend as though we do: we make plans, schedule things in the distant future and spend time before we are ever granted it. This may be because the greatest terror for humans is not having a future. Perhaps this is why Jesus told his followers not to worry about the times and dates that God has set in place for us. This has the power to lead us to the pl

October 6, 2024: The Space Between - Michael Hidalgo

Oct 06 2024 32 mins  
Something has ended … a plan, a strategy, a road map, a story, but what has been birthed is not yet clear. This is liminal space. It is the moment when we have not fully crossed the threshold into the new world, but stand over it with one foot in the world that has ended and the other foot in the world that is to come. Perhaps the best we can do is look back as a way of looking a

September 29, 2024: A Beginning at the End - Michael Hidalgo

Oct 02 2024 34 mins  
Anytime the end of something arrives there is a sense that’s things are over as we knew them. And while they may be true, the end of something also signals something new is on the horizon. Which is to say, anytime we face an ending or the end of something, that means it’s the first step toward something new being born. Thank you for joining us today! If you feel led to give to

September 22, 2024: Faithful or Successful? - Michael Hidalgo

Sep 22 2024 35 mins  
Jesus tells a parable about a master giving money to his servants. Too often we approach this from our modern, capitalistic, Western viewpoint. But the hint that this is not about money is found on the lips of the master when he returns … he praises his servants for being “faithful” not successful. These are two wildly different things and it would do us well to pay attention

September 15, 2024: A Dirty Little Thief - Jasper Peters

Sep 15 2024 39 mins  
The famous children’s song betrays the scandal behind the story of Zacchaeus. He was not just a “wee little man …” He was a corrupt businessman working on behalf of the Roman Empire. He exploited the poor, and furthered the oppression of Rome. And then Jesus, a “friend of sinners” and a “companion to the poor” wants to hang with him? Imagine what the poor may have t

September 8, 2024: Who Really Sees? - Michael Hidalgo

Sep 10 2024 33 mins  
In this teaching, Lead Pastor Michael Hidalgo considers how Luke plays with the idea of sight- what it means to see Jesus for who he is, and how Jesus seeks to bring healing to everyone. In a moment of almost comic relief, Luke tells a story in which a blind fellow knows who Jesus is. He cries out, “Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!” Several people responded by rebuking hi

September 1, 2024: The Hidden Meaning in Plain Sight - Hannah Thom

Sep 03 2024 30 mins  
The disciples still seem so dull. Jesus tells them about his impending death and all they can dwell upon is what places of power they will have in the kingdom of heaven. They want to be sure that their name will be remembered. Jesus tells them that it is in his death that he will be exalted. Jesus teaches them that the pursuit of the Kingdom is not about getting ahead, but about d

August 25 2024: Give It Away Now - Michael Hidalgo

Aug 25 2024 34 mins  
There is nothing wrong with being rich; it is what can happen to those who acquire wealth that is Jesus’ focus in Luke 18:18-30: that we can become slaves to it. Instead of owning it – it can own us. This is the reminder that God gives to his people in Deuteronomy 8 when he warns them never to think that they have created their wealth, but to remember that God is the one who ha
