Our highest hope is embodied in Jesus’s prayer: ‘Your Kingdom come; Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.’ These words remind us that God’s Kingdom is not a distant future but present reality, calling us into discipleship. As Luke Timothy Johnson writes, the Church is to be ‘a sacrament of the world’s possibility. A sign of what the world can be.’ We aspire to fulfill this by loving radically, inclusively, and generously—embracing all regardless of age, race, gender, orientation, ethnicity, marital status, or disability.

    Summer on the Mount: Part 2 – Salt and Light

    In this week's passage from the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus uses the images of salt, light, and the law to describe a life of discipleship. But what exactly do these three concepts have in common? As Pastor Greg suggests, these images work together to teach us this important truth: to follow Jesus is to live incarnationally.

    Summer on the Mount: Part 1 – God's Biggest, Tiniest Dreams

    Ordinary Time begins the Sunday after Pentecost. It's the longest season on the church calendar — and the quietest. In this opening sermon of Summer on the Mount, the case is made that the Beatitudes are exactly the right text for ordinary time: a portrait of the slow, Spirit-shaped work of learning to see the world the way Jesus sees it.

    Pentecost Sunday

    This Sunday is Pentecost, the day we celebrate the giving of the Holy Spirit in Acts 2. With violent winds and tongues of fire, this is a wild story, but the bigger question is, “What does the Spirit do in our lives now that we have it?”

    Resurrection Appearances – Part Six – But Some Doubted

    Matthew includes a strange detail in the final story of his Gospel. The eleven are standing on the mountain, looking at the risen Jesus — and he writes "but some doubted." This message explores what it means that the Great Commission was given to a group that still contained doubt — and why that might be the best news you've heard all week.

    Resurrection Appearances – Part Five – Peter

    In the gospel of John’s final resurrection appearance, Jesus has a conversation with Peter on the shore of the sea of Galilee. What can we learn from this intimate exchange, as Jesus speaks into Peter’s shame and failure?

    Resurrection Appearances – Part Four – Stay in the Room

    We’ve called him Doubting Thomas for 2,000 years. But what if we’ve had him wrong the whole time? What if his doubt wasn’t a failure… but something deeply faithful?

    Resurrection Apperances – Part Three – Mary Magdalene

    Today in our resurrection appearances series, we turn to the Gospel of John — and the first story John tells is Jesus appearing to Mary Magdalene. When understood in context — inside a Gospel deliberately patterned after Genesis — this story reminds us of one of the great paradoxes of our faith: that Jesus is both immense and intimate.

  8. Resurrection Appearances – Part Two – Too Good to Be True?

    Resurrection Appearances – Part Two – Too Good to Be True?

    What do you do when something feels too good to trust? The disciples had testimony stacking up from every direction, and still couldn’t hold it when Jesus actually showed up. This message explores scar tissue, embodied faith, wounds that don’t disappear, and why resurrection might be too good to understand — but not too good to be true.
