January 20, 2019 by Tom Grosh IV Leave a Comment

https://vimeo.com/285895688 As we press into the daily grind of 2019, set aside time to join me  in checking /  resetting our compass  by  prayerfully  considering: Who is this Jesus I / we follow? Is Jesus my  / our  first love -- receiving primary allegiance? Do  I  / we  "trust and obey"  -- placing hope (short / long term) in Jesus? How do I / we share the love of Jesus with others in our messy context? … [Read more...] about Call to Faithful Witness in 2019

Science Corner: His Mother’s Son

December 21, 2016 by Andy Walsh Leave a Comment

Jesus did not share in any way the DNA of either Mary or Joseph. Otherwise he would have shared in original sin. A friend of mine asked for my take on this statement from a sermon he heard online. I certainly appreciate why, theologically speaking, one would want to make this kind of distinction in order to clarify Jesus' relationship to original sin. I also appreciate the effort to engage with a scientific understanding of inheritance. Given the testimony of scripture, I can't entirely rule out the possibility that … [Read more...] about Science Corner: His Mother’s Son

Advent: The Paradox of What Matters

December 15, 2015 by David Crews Leave a Comment

Reading Out of the stump of David's family will grow a shoot--- yes, a new Branch bearing fruit from the old root. And the Spirit of the Lord will rest on Him--- the Spirit of wisdom and understanding, the Spirit of counsel and might, the Spirit of knowledge and the fear of the Lord. In that day the heir of David's throne will be the banner of salvation to all the world. The nations will rally to Him, and the land where He lives will be a glorious place. -- Isaiah 11:1-2, 10 … [Read more...] about Advent: The Paradox of What Matters
