Transformation 2021

Church of Theseus

Too often, faith is reduced to an intellectual exercise. But Jesus pressed for transformation, change so dramatic it was described as 'resurrection' or 'rebirth'. What does it look like for us to pursue this sort of new life here at Catalyst in the coming year?

From Series: "Church of Theseus"

An ancient Greek thought experiment asks us to imagine a ship that, over the years, has every plank and mast replaced. When there's no more original wood left, is it the same ship? Catalyst has changed a lot over the last decade. Despite all the changes, what defines us as a church? And what does that mean for our future?

Jesus’ disciples often asked him when his Kingdom would come in full, when this new life he always talked about would arrive. In response, Jesus told several parables that illustrated the tension we feel as we wait for his kingdom to come on Earth as it is in Heaven. Waiting in Jesus’ new reality isn’t passive. It’s an active, intentional patience. So how do we wait well?
