Pastor Sean Palmer continues the series that is guiding us through the Fall season, as we consider what it means to recover an enchanted faith in an age of skepticism. Sean shares from the early days of Jesus’ ministry, and the little moments in our Savior is simply among the crowd. How might we be missing similar moments of that presence in our own midst?

Pastor Chris Seay follows up on the beginning of the sermon series which will guide us through the fall; helping us to rediscover an enchanted faith within an increasingly disenchanted age. Chris suggests a few possible remedies to the lies that attempt to put boundaries around God’s presence — practices of imagination and meaning-making that could profoundly change the way we see the world and our place in it as followers of Jesus.

It was a joy to welcome back Dr. Richard Beck as we begin a new series which will unfold over the coming weeks through the fall. In an age of dis-enchantment and skepticism, we invite you to join us on this journey to reawaken a sense of wonder and grow in attentiveness to the presence of God that we may often miss, even when it’s right in front of us.

Pastor Sean Palmer looks to Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount; calling us to reorient our vision for “the good life” and grow in awareness of the good life that already is because of God’s presence with us in every moment.

During these times of such distress, Pastor Chris Seay urges us to hear anew, and truly heed Jesus’ words that we come to him with the faith of children. Rather than dogma, curiosity. Rather than skepticism, trust. Rather than despair, hope. What invitation will you take with you today?

Pastor Mike Yager invites us into the curious story of Moses, Eldad, and Medad in Numbers 11. The flourishing of a community means that everyone is taking part. Today, we ask if we are engaged in the kind of spiritual disciplines that help us to go deeper in our own relationship with God so that we would grow in our capacity to contribute toward the flourishing of others.

Pastor Chris Seay guides us in revisiting the formation of the church in Acts 2. In a time of continued challenge and disruption, often gathering in new ways, it is all the more important that we are faithful in listening for ways to care for one another and to root ourselves in a environment where we can flourish. Church is not a place we go, but a people we are.

Concluding our summer sermon series in collaboration with our friends at Good Shepherd NYC, Pastor Drew Jackson offers a powerful word from the Prophet Joel on the vitality of repentance — a changing of our minds — to imagine a world beyond injustice, and how we might “wake up” to our part in God’s movement of restoration for all people. Drew serves as Lead Pastor of Hope East Village in New York City.

Ericka Graham continues our summer sermon series with friends at Good Shepherd New York, in which we have been reimagining various dimensions of faith and community in light of the lessons learned from Covid and the opportunities and challenges of returning back to rhythms of physical gathering. We pray that these weeks have been a formative blessing. Ericka invites us to shift our assumptions of power over the other to the kind of power modeled by Jesus: a power that is with and for others, lain down in humble love, that others may be lifted up.

Pastor Sean Palmer continues our summer teaching series in collaboration with friends at Good Shepherd New York. Sean teaches from the “Christ Hymn” in Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi; inviting us to consider sung worship as just one example of the spiritual practices which are amplified as we participate in them communally. Following a year of such isolation, how will we recommit to the richness of the kinds of practices that are best engaged together?

Continuing a summer series in collaboration with our friends at Good Shepherd New York, dear brother and guest preacher Pastor Michael Rudzena invites us to consider how the challenges of the past year have altered our relationship to togetherness and isolation. Jesus is forever our model for a rhythm of life shaped by solitude and prayer, genuine community, and love taking action. Join us as the series concludes over the next few weeks.

Our series in collaboration with Good Shepherd New York continues to explore important dimensions of our lives and communities as followers of Jesus in this season of re-establishing rhythms. Our dear brother Gideon Tsang invites us to consider how our experience of time has been changed by the pandemic, and how Jesus calls us to the kind of mindfulness which will help us be more fully alive in the passing moments.

Pastor Chris continues the sermon series that began last week with our friends at Good Shepherd NY. We are joining together to reimagine critical elements of the Christian life as we navigate the losses and the possibilities brought on by the disruption of the pandemic. Chris guides us to consider the places we need reconciliation; within our own hearts, with God, and with the world.

Beginning a summer teaching series in collaboration with our friends at Good Shepherd in New York, our dear sister Shauna Niequist offers a beautiful vision of hospitality as soul nourishing; drawing from scripture and the important lessons we have learned over the trials of the past year. Continue to join us as the Reimagining series continues over the coming weeks.

Pastor Sean Palmer examines the faith of Abraham as a model for our lives of faith. Different than belief or knowledge, faith is the kind of trust that helps us focus on God through all circumstance, trial, and suffering.

Drawing from the Book of Hebrews, Pastor Chris asks us each to seriously and faithfully consider how God is calling us to live into the fullness of who God has made us to be. No one has your unique combination of story and circumstance, talents, passions, and resources. How is God urging you to trust him in the next step; inviting you to move from belief to action?

Pastor Sean Palmer offers an important reminder as we enter into this Summer season; that rest is not a luxury, but a vital rhythm that grows our awareness for how much God cares for us. Whatever the coming weeks may hold for you, how will you commit to receiving this gift which is woven into the very fabric of creation?

Pastor Chris reflects on the challenging practice of patience and invites us into practical steps of practicing patience in our relationship with God and others.
