This week, we continue in our exploration of Housing in the City by looking at the theme of money or economics in the Bible. We learn about God’s economic vision for His people, how their unfaithfulness to this vision led to exile, how Jesus invites us back into this story and how we might be invited to live as a city within a city during this housing crisis. This audio has been reuploaded as the previous audio had been cut off. Recorded May 26, 2024.

As we continue in our Housing in the City series, we turn to the topic of home. As we explore the spaces God has called "home" in the story of the Bible, we are invited to consider the implications for the spaces we call home, the households we are a part of and how we might host. Recorded May 19, 2024.

We continue in our Housing in the City series by looking at the theme of community in the Bible. While the city offers hope to solve our problem of community, it almost always, in the Bible and in the modern world, lets us down and contributes to the breakdown of community rather than building a community of shalom. As followers of Jesus living in the city, we are invited to lament and learn how to live in a different type of community. Recorded May 12, 2024.

This week, we turn to the theme of the city in our Housing in the City series. Reading from Jeremiah 29, we see God’s call to the city, the identity we’re invited to in the city and finally the hope of the city. Recorded May 5, 2024.

We continue our series exploring the topic of housing in the city by looking at the Biblical theme of land. By tracing the theme through the Bible in 7 acts, we learn how Jesus fulfills the story of the land and invites us to new identities and orientation towards land. Recorded April 28, 2024.

This week we began a new series exploring how we live in the city as followers of Jesus during the current housing crisis. In this introduction, we explore some of the personal contours of the housing story in Canada, and receive the invitations to listen to and tell our stories, center on the story of Jesus and discern where the Spirit is leading us.
