We all want to do something special with our lives. The idea that we haven’t quite “made it” yet but “one day we will” is what keeps us going. Sadly, many people die without ever truly feeling accomplished. Yes, there are specific callings on our lives, but there’s one that’s most important for all of us and if we take it serious we’ll have more joy than we imagined. “A new command I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you must love one another.” This command from Jesus is so important. In fact, love is the fulfillment of the law, yet we forget to love others and really value relationships in the pursuit of the calling on our lives. This week Pastor Justin shares the love that comes from Jesus and gives us practical ways of walking it out. We have desires to do great things that matter, but none is greater than the love we can show one another. Dinner Theatre | A New Kind of Love | John 13:31-38…

Today we begin a new series entitled, Reimagine the Church. The Church is a historically complicated entity. It is both Organism and Organisation . People and Institution. Visible and Invisible. Local and Global. Spiritual and Physical. Eternal and Temporal. Gathered and Scattered. Perpetual and Intermittent. Being perfected and imperfect. It is a community capable of initiating and sustaining great healing, as well inflicting great pain. It is filled with and led by broken people, who are at the same time on a journey toward glory. It is complicated. But it is above all else Gods’. In recent years, perhaps more than any before, the Church is faced with untold complexity, as the era of Chritendom—a period defined by an almost ubiquitous cultural acceptance of Jesus and His Church—has summarily ended… and this was before COVID-19 forced us all to reevaluate how we even defined “Church.” So what do we do, those of us who have an earnest love for this overtly complex entity? How do we engage her? How do we faithfully live as God would have His people to live? How do we faithfully exist as an expression of God’s beloved community? Frankly, I have few answers, but many hopes. Exploring those hopes, through the lens of what God has to say about His church and her activity in this era, is what I hope we can do through this six week series. I want to invite us to Reimagine the Church. I want to journey with you as we try, by God’s leading, to release the images and ideas we have of “Church” to Him, and attempt rather to reimagine His Church as He intended and intends her to be.…

Today we begin a new, short series called Revive Us. This series, on Revival, started in both prayer and counsel, and I believe God will do great things in us through this time. For those of us who may not be familiar with the term Revival, or perhaps you are not yet Jesus’ follower, in it’s Webster form the word means simply, an improvement in the condition or strength of something. But in its Christian contextual form, Revival is God suddenly and dramatically revealing His presence so powerfully that society—its people and structures—is fundamentally altered. As I was taking my morning prayer walk, a few weeks ago now, I felt prompted to pray for Revival, so I did. Just a few days later one of our dear church mothers sent me a text message and said something akin to our need to pray for Revival. Then one morning just a few days after that, I was doing my daily meditation with the Abide App., and the theme was Revival. In fact, the entire week of meditations that week were about Revival. A series, I believe, of not so coincidental connections.…

Barren Temple. Withered Tree. Pt. 2 21:11

for 5 years siden21:11

21:11

50 years ago, Tom Skinner, of whom many of you may have never even heard, preached at Urbana a message entitled, “The U.S. Racial Crisis and World Evangelism.” I highly recommend you google it, and give it a listen. Mr. Skinner began this message with these hauntingly relevant words: “Any understanding of world evangelism and racism in our country must begin with an understanding of the history of racism. To understand why we are in the middle of a revolution in our time, to come to grips with what the black revolution is all about and to understand what the nature of racism in our society is, I must take you back approximately 350 years, to when the early ships landed in this country, in approximately 1619.” Of course I would contend, respectfully with Mr. Skinner, that a date of 1526 more accurately captures the genesis of slavery in this nation, but that would be irrelevant to the precise point he is making in this message. 50 years ago the same questions and counter-arguments that are swirling now, were swirling then: Why has the Church been so strangely silent, and often complicit, through so much racial and social upheaval? What, exactly, is the Gospel? Does the Gospel have social implications? Is the Social Gospel endangering the mission of the Church? Join us for the message entitled Barren Temple. Withered Tree.

Now What! 1:03:53

Pain and isolation often blind us from knowing what to do next. This is true no matter where you are on your spiritual journey. In fact, because of the pain and isolation of the time we are living in, every human system, alliance, government, company, church and family are asking this same question, what do we do next? For some of us, this might even be a daily or perhaps hourly question. For the people in the Bible, it is no different. The narrative, history, poetry, and letters contained within it are from and about people under varying levels of distress. The text we have before us today gives one of the clearest answers to that question. During distance and distress, God’s desire is for you to abound in holiness and love.…
