First, Listen
This week we begin with the story of Eve in the Garden and Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness. These accounts remind us of something essential…that seeking begins with listening.
Divine Gardener
What is our role in the divine garden? And how, by the grace of God, will this garden grow?
Scandal
How and why would God work through a cross, symbol of death and powerlessness, in order to reveal God’s power?
Unswervingly
Dart Rhoades’ message focuses on something our hearts and minds and spirits need to return again and again…forgiveness.
Unity Versus Uniformity
How can the church maintain “unity” without sacrificing justice and a firm commitment to beliefs or practices that seem essential to life grounded in the Gospel?
To the Church of God in Pacific Beach
We look forward to diving into some tough questions together as we draw alongside Paul, the church in Corinth and one another to be guided and inspired by the Holy Spirit, holding us all.
Blessings
On this 4th Sunday of Advent, we spend time with Mary and Elizabeth, two expectant mothers who encounter one another with love, care and blessing. How do we understand blessings and in what contexts do we experience them?
Festival of Christmas
Join us in celebrating Festival of Christmas, a musical celebration by Mary MacDonald
Despite Fear
The angel’s words, “Do not be afraid,” are words that are repeated over and over again throughout scripture. What did Mary make of those words? What do they mean to us as we move through this Advent season? How do we take them to heart and what difference do they make in our own lives that are so often touched by anxiety and fear?
From Generation to Generation
In this time of waiting, watching, hoping, praying how can we stay attentive to the movement of God’s Spirit?
