Our Need for Good

After necessarily deconstructing Christianity that’s based on biblical inerrancy, Divine wrath, and exclusion in Jesus’ name, people often find themselves asking, “Why should I be Christian?” This important question comes from a place that is much deeper than cynicism. It’s an honest question. Why—if the Bible isn’t inerrant, God is love, and Jesus’ table is open to every person—should anyone identify as a Christian today, in 2023? This sermon series will explore non-violent and non-dominion reasons for being deeply, yet humbly Christian, today.

Non-Anxious Wisdom

At the center of the sacred story we tell, week in and week out, is Resurrection: life from death, light from darkness, creation from chaos. This story has occupied a central place in the Christian imagination because it points to a new way to live. In this series, we are exploring the way of life Jesus sets forth in his Sermon on the Mount. The Resurrection speaks over every life, “You, whoever you are, whatever your circumstances, you are blessed because God is with you.” This vision of the with-God life opens up resurrected ways of being such as belonging, love and trust in community, and non-anxious relationship with one another and with the Divine. This series will suggest practices for living Christ’s wisdom within the texture of our ordinary lives.
