Invited - Exploring a Relationship with Jesus
This series looks at six
important invitations Jesus makes in the gospels. How we respond to these six invitations from Jesus defines our life of discipleship and provides a framework for how we engage with others in faith and grow in our own!
Living for Giving
God is a giving God. As those who are followers of the one who gave himself for us, we are called to live generous lives. How we approach money and how we use money matters. Giving generously of our money is fundamentally connected to our life of faith and discipleship. God doesn’t just want generosity from us. God wants it for us too. This 8 part series will explore the beauty of living for giving.
Justice
Justice is a core theme throughout the biblical story. We often think of justice as what happens when someone who does something wrong is punished for it, but justice in the Bible is so much more than that. Or, we think of justice as some kind of peripheral elective in the school of faith. Justice in the Bible is primarily about making sure that everyone in the community is treated fairly and given what they are due as a human being. It’s about granting people rights by changing unjust practices or laws so that no one slips through the cracks. And, as we’ll discover in this study, God cares about it and cares that we care about it too!
Living Sent
Jesus called his disciples "apostles" which means "sent ones." Being a follower of Jesus means living sent lives seeking to embody and share the good news of Jesus Christ wherever we are. This 10 part series looks at what it means to share and bear the gospel with others in the places we live, work and play,
God Questions
It can be easy and comforting to look to God and the Bible for answers. But have you ever thought about the questions that God asks us in the Bible? This 7 part series looks at some of the questions God asks us in the Bible. The hope is that looking at them together will invite us to gaze deeply into our own hearts, will reveal the heart of God, will challenge us, and will ultimately get inside our lives to transform us from the inside out!
Hospitality
There’s nothing like good hospitality. We know when we’re being welcomed and treated with care and generosity and when we’re not. Hospitality is at the heart of the biblical story. It is an integral part of our practice of faith. Time and time again, we see God’s heart of welcome and God’s commands for God’s people to practice generous welcome too. This 8-part series explores the theme of Christian hospitality in hopes that followers of Jesus would do it well!
Sabbath
What if human beings were not created to rest from work, but to work from a place of rest? What does sabbath mean for us today? How are we to understand it and treasure it as the gift it is? This 6 part series unpacks sabbath.​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​
Revolution
Just like planets revolve around the sun, our lives orbit around certain priorities, commitments, and desires. The question is not whether or not we revolve around something, but what are we revolving around? Is it Jesus and his way, or something else? This study will explore changing what we revolve around so that our lives are pulled into the orbit of Jesus and his Kingdom.
The Church (At our best)
This Table Talk looks at five major images of the church in the New Testament with two major hopes: First, that exploring them might help us sure-up our own understanding as Jesus followers of what the church is and what it means to be a part of it. Second, that exploring them might help us close the gap between how people experience the church and how they experience Jesus because they are in fact experiencing Jesus in and through his church.

I AM
God wants to be known. Yes, God is holy, set apart, glorious, and God chooses to reveal God’s self to us. We can know something of what God is like through God’s creation. We can know what God is like through stories in the Bible. In many ways, the Bible is a story of humanity’s attempt to know God and God’s desire to be known. We come to know God best through the person of Jesus Christ. Jesus is God-incarnate; the “Word made flesh” who “lived among us.” The Gospel of John contains a collection of self-revealing statements made by Jesus. These are known as the “I Am sayings.” This series explores these image-rich sayings and how they help us see God’s heart and nature.
