The Trees Are Talking – Week 4
We consider the need for awe and wonder in our lives, and how it can help us find our purpose and place in the world.
The Trees are Talking – Week 3
Elliot leads us in a conversation on quantum mechanics. Yep. You heard right.
We consider how something like a photon, which is both a wave and a particle, might help us think differently about many things in our complex world.
The Trees are Talking – Week 2
Elliot leads us through the incredible process of a star’s death, which gives way to the building blocks of life. This awe-inspiring cycle is what we see throughout creation. Life coming after loss and death. Resurrection. What might this mean for us in our day to day lives?
The Trees Are Talking – Week 1
We begin a four week series looking at incredible aspects of creation, and what they have to teach us about our lives together.
This first week’s takeaway: Don’t be a Western Cedar.
Note: the first few minutes were not recorded. You can find more about the research we talked about at first by watching this great Ted Talk.
Message 7-5-20
We took a week to look at a story we have likely heard of before from Luke 9: the feeding of the 5000 and what it might have to say to us in this moment.
Liminal – Stories of the In-Between (week 10)
Difficulty and possibility so often exist hand in hand, perhaps especially in liminal spaces. We see this again as look at Philip’s story from Acts 8.
Liminal – Stories of the In-Between (week 9)
1 Corinthians 8 and 10 show us that when we are in a liminal space, there is newfound opportunity to let go — to admit that we might not know it all — and that we might need each other (even when we disagree) more than we realize.
Liminal – Stories of the in Between (week 8)
Week 7 – Acts 2:1-13, 42-47, 4:32-37
We consider what a life of radical generosity looks like in the midst of a global pandemic and rampant racism.
Liminal – Stories of the In-Between (week 6)
We look at the way God used a liminal space to prepare the first Christians for the future that was coming. John 21.
Liminal – Stories of the In-Between (week 3)
This week we look at Moses’ story as he journeyed through the in-between on more than one occassion. What do we learn from his life? (Exodus 2 and 3).
Liminal – Stories of the In-Between (week 2)
This pandemic has put us in a liminal space — a time in which we’re in between what was and what will be. Liminal spaces are tough to navigate and full of uncertainty; and yet they are also spaces of potential transformation. This week we continue to see how the biblical story of the Exodus intersects our own, and what it might have to teach us about how we navigate our world today.
Liminal – Stories of the In-Between (week 1)
The Bible is full of stories of people and communities who have had to journey through liminal spaces. Today, are in a liminal space too — caught between the world as we knew it and an unknown future. What do these stories have to teach us? This week we look at Israel, as they journeyed in the wilderness (a consistent metaphor in the Bible for in-between spaces).
