We avoid pain and grief as much as possible. When faced with someone else’s grief, we avoid or offer platitudes. But the book of Lamentations invites us to sit with grief, to enter into the prophetic process of Lament. In this series, we’ll explore how to grieve and how to be a friend to the grieving.
Ultimately, we’ll see how the process of lament invites us to be agents of healing in the larger world.

The Key to Generosity
Generosity is a word we appreciate in abstract but run from in practice. Jesus tells us generosity isn't about the amount we give, but what it costs us. The Spirit makes us able to give generously, whether we're sharing money, time or resources. Generosity is how we imitate our generous God.
From Series: "Free of Charge"
We live in a world where nothing is free. In a culture that so lacks grace, how can we be the generous, loving people we were created to be? In this series, based on the work of theologian Miroslav Volf, we'll explore the surprising link between giving and forgiving. Join us as we find surprising freedom in generosity and grace!
