Out of Bounds
Churches often have a list – official or not – of people who are “out of bounds”, people who don’t fit into the neat categories we use. In the story of Philip’s encounter with the Ethiopian eunuch, we find a call to move beyond our boundary lines, to follow the Spirit in welcoming everyone. This requires us to trust the Spirit to do what the Spirit promises. The Spirit moves, and we respond.
From Series: "Go There!"
What lines are you afraid to cross? In the years immediately following Jesus’ resurrection, his followers had to reimagine what their religion looked like. The Holy Spirit compelled them to take the good news of resurrection and new life far beyond every border they’d ever known. The book of Acts helps us imagine the dangerous and exciting mission God is calling us to today. Don’t Go There!

Jesus spoke in parables to invite us to consider the surprising challenge and offer of his new life more fully. In June, we look at four parables were Jesus talks about the Kingdom as a seed. What is this small, seemingly insignificant Kingdom? And what sort of new life will it grow into? Join us as we explore the seeds of the kingdom!
