Is Jesus Enough?

How often do we treat a relationship with Jesus as enough? Don't we more often talk about the Gospel by showcasing the amazing benefits that come along with it?

Go!

We begin our summer missions emphasis with one question: how can we learn to care about people in the world we don't know? Only by entering into their stories, making their lives our own. In this way, we're participating in God's story, in the story Jesus began telling through his disciples after he was raised from the dead. The story that begins... "Go!"

Talk: Talking to Martians

Our world is more and more pluralistic. How can those of us who follow a Jesus who claimed to be the Truth and the only way to the Father engage in honest, respectful and transformational conversations with those who don't follow him? Paul's encounter on Mars Hill (Acts 17:16-32) gives us a great model!

Talk: A Church with Skin

The Resurrection affirms that our bodies are good, and that should affect how we live right now. This week we look at Acts 3:1-16 and discover what it means that Peter and John heal in the name of Jesus of Nazareth.

Talk: Guitar Hero Faith

We are taught to expect instant-gratification in every area of our lives. What happens when this attitude creeps into the Church? How can Jesus' final temptation teach us to embrace self-denial? And what does any of that have to do with Guitar Hero?

Talk: Loving Our Enemies

Jesus calls us to love our enemies and pray for those who persecute us. But what does this look like in the real world, from day to day?

Talk: Adultery Smoothie

To be human is to want. But how do we learn to want correctly? And what happens when the object of our desire is a person? Jesus tells us that all of these questions flow out of our hearts. So the real question may be... what are you putting in there?

Talk: You Wouldn't Like Me When I'm Angry...

We usually consider anger a bad emotion. But if God created us with the capacity to feel anger, why? When is anger good, helpful? And what can Jesus teach us about how to channel our anger properly?

Talk: Something Else Altogether

John 1 tells us that Christmas is a celebration of Light breaking into the Darkness of our world. Which you have to admit is something altogether different from what we usually celebrate...

Talk: Earth

Everyone in the Church is scared of the Green Revolution... but should we be? What is the purpose of the creation in our lives? And what is our responsibility towards the world?
