Now What? (The Birth of the Church) – Terri Churchill
After Jesus died, was raised from the dead and then ascended to heaven, his disciples were left wondering, “Now what!?!” Jesus didn’t spell out exactly what was next for them, but he was clear that the Holy Spirit would be crucial to their on going mission as the church. Now 2000 years later, the church still must look to the Holy Spirit when we’re asking, “Now what?” We learn that the Spirit not only brought the church to life in Acts, the Spirit continues to sustain and direct the church to accomplish its mission in the world.

Today You Will Be With Me in Paradise – Terri Churchill – Third Way
Terri helps us understand the significance of when Jesus assured one of the thieves on the cross that he would be with Jesus in paradise. While the first Adam caused humanity to lose paradise, we now are invited back to the garden through the second Adam (Jesus). This means that all our fears and suspicions that we’re not invited need to be met with God’s beautiful embrace of forgiveness and love.

The Worker in the Vineyard – Terri Churchill
Terri looks at the parable of the worker in the vineyard and shows how our human concepts of fairness do not govern God’s kingdom. God governs his own kingdom. Yet, so often we compare ourselves to others and feel that we deserve more. This often creates disappointment, resentment toward God, and disdain toward others. Instead, God is asking us trust him, be thankful and be wiling to celebrate God’s generosity and the successes of others.
