This week we look at a powerful ruler named King Herod in the advent story. He shows us the sort of things we are tempted to do with our power, but also the sort of leaders we are tempted to give our allegiance to. God calls us to bow to him and live under his rule instead.
We start an advent series today called; Chains He Shall Break. In it we are going to look at the theme of power in the advent story. Today we looked at Mary's Magnificat. She tells us that it is a good thing that God scatters the proud, takes rulers off their thrones, and sends the rich away hungry. Why is that? Can we listen to her song in a way that helps us proclaim this sort of good news to the world, and embody it as well?
Anthony introduces the Advent Season, giving us some space to be still and reflect on all of the gifts that God gives us.
This week we have a stand alone message talking about how Christians should be generous with their money. We look at the Biblical examples and commands, and then apply it to our time and place.
We've been looking at all sorts of ways that those things that existed in the Old Testament, or Old covenant, only pointed to what God wanted to exist in a better way in and through Jesus. This week we see how Jesus makes a far better sacrifice that deals with all of sin, and inaugurates a new kingdom.
We continue our series in Hebrews and we continue to see all that we have in Jesus our High Priest. In particular we look at how Jesus has brought us into the most holy place, and cleaned even our conscious.
This week we take a break from our series in Hebrews. We got such an encouraging word from Olivia Mulerwa, president of an organization called Mission One, which is an organization we have given to for years now. Mission One exists to partner with the Global church in making communities more like the Kingdom of God. They envision a world where every community is transformed for the glory of God and the honor of all peoples. She shared with us a word of the sort of Kingdom work we are all called to, while giving us eyes to see what God is doing through our brothers and sisters in other countries.
This week we look at this new covenant we get in Jesus. We look at three things related to the new covenant; centered on Jesus, he's a better high priest in many ways, and we need to stop living a human powered life.
Today we look at Hebrews chapter 7 and the mysterious figure of Melchizedek. We see how he points to Jesus, how we are are weak and in debt, and how God has always wanted to give us the best through Jesus.
This week Delphina teaches through Hebrews 6:13-17, diving into the promise that God made to Abraham encouraging us to remember this promise as an anchor for our faith.
We tackle THE trickiest passage in the book of Hebrews. We do some theological work on the front end, but make sure to do our best to let the passage do what it's attempting to do in us. Note: In the middle, there is about 90 seconds of audio that sounds strange, this is because of a technical error that happened during service on Sunday.
Rand Habegger takes us through Hebrews 5:11-6:3, unpacking a challenging callout of spiritual laziness and a hope-filled call to spiritual maturity.
Listen to us talk about our vision as a church! We've existed for 13 years and recently God has worked in us to help us clarify our vision as a church. We've had some recent transitions as a church body that has made us feel now is a great time to state what we are hoping to do and be as a church. We want to help people love Jesus, be disciples that embody the Beloved Community values, saturate the city of Flagstaff with Jesus, and live in connection to, and unity with the Beloved Community!
We continue this wonderful series in Hebrews. Today we look at the big idea of Jesus the high priest. We see what a high priest is, our need for a mediator, and the sort of mediator that Jesus is.
We continue our series in the beautiful book of Hebrews. This week we follow a large section of Hebrews, that shows us that life with God is like a journey. The author of Hebrews wants us to preserve as Christians on this journey, so the author gives us four things we need for this journey of life with God.
Today we continue to think about and look at Jesus, and the great salvation we have in him and from him. In particular today we look at two things; our enslavement to the fear of death, and the atonement.
This week Anthony went over Hebrews 2:1-13, leading us through the wonderful truths about the Salvation that Jesus offers.
Pastor Aaron brings the word this morning. Listen in and hear about the greatness of Jesus!
Today we start the book of Hebrews, a beautiful, artful, complex book looking at so many contours of Jesus. Today we talk about two big themes in the book of Hebrews; God Speaks, and Jesus our Resource. Join us as we look to be encouraged in our faith by a book that was meant to help discouraged Christians keep finding their life in Christ.
