Jesus drove. Part 5 in our series: Jesus _______. (verb)
The image Matthew chapter 21 paints of Jesus doesn’t seem to fit with the rest of the gospel descriptions. (kinda like the game; “One of these things is not like the other”). Here Jesus departs from our familiar image of He with folded hands, holding lambs and softly touching sick people on the head. Here […]
Jesus withdrew. Sept 28th 2014 @ 10:30a Onsite or Online
In Luke 5:12-16 Jesus touched a man with leprosy. Rabbis would not violate the law in this way, to touch what was unclean would be self defiling and disrespectful to the Law of Moses and to the Lord of the Law. Yet Jesus (being a Rabbi) did so not because he was a rebel but […]

That was a very bad day. However while Joseph endured the hardship God was quietly at work. From prisoner to […]
The Cornerman, Sunday August 10th 2014 Onsite or Online via Livestream
Jealousy had trumped brotherly love and Joseph lost his brightly colored robe and freedom. He was sold into slavery. Bad went to worse where he was – wrongfully accused of rape and thrown into jail. Innocent, yet accused by powerful people he was in jail, in a foreign country. Even though things looked pretty bleak […]
Birthing Nebulae July 27th @ 10:30a CDT
One amazing testament to the creative power of a supernova is the existence of neutron stars, which are commonly found at the location of a supernova remnant. Neutron stars are the most dense matter in existence just under black holes. Neutron stars are so dense that one teaspoon (5 milliliters) of its material would have […]
The Smell of a Mobile Church: Tiger Balm
I’m tired. My left knee is sore. My back muscles are a little inflamed. And it feels so great! Tonight for the first time, our new start church officially began the dreaded/ wonderful cycle of being a mobile church: unload, set up, tear down, pack in. It is the beginning of what could be a […]
