Zachariah and Elizabeth

This week we started a new series for Advent, going through Epiphany Sunday, titled “Recounting the Cost”. Its about using the story of Christmas to think through how God invites all of us to participate in his Kingdom, but also to remember it is often a costly invitation to obedience. Bonnie began the series with a look at Zechariah and Elizabeth’s call to obedience in the midst of doubt and frustration with God.

Servants and Missonaries

God has a mission in this world to reconcile, renew, and restore all things to himself, and he calls the Church to join him in his mission. Bryan explores how we are transformed in Christ to live as “sent ones,” who proclaim the kingdom of God to the world around us by the way we live.

Covenant Life – Josias Hansen

Faith, just like life, was never meant to be experienced alone. We need one another for encouragement and accountability. Yet, for many Christians today, personal encouragement and accountability is easily lost. Within the Kingdom, we are brought into a covenant family where we invite one another to lovingly challenge and encourage us to remain faithful to our covenant and to Jesus’ kingdom way of life.

Sharing and Stewardship – Josias Hansen

As kingdom people, we are not to see our time and resources as our own to be spent on anything we please. Instead, we believe everything belongs to God, and we are called to be faithful stewards of everything at our disposal. Therefore, instead of using our time and resources to build our own individual kingdoms, God calls us to seek the benefit of God’s kingdom first, trusting that our own needs will also be met in the process.

Blessing – Terri Churchill

Terri begins to unpack elements of our Third Way Covenant that contribute to a healthy environment where the Kingdom of God grows and flourishes among us. ‘Blessing’ is the first covenant commitment we’re examining. How does the practice of blessing grow the Kingdom of God, and how can we resist the dominant culture characterized by the very opposite of blessing: cursing?
