Acts 13:14-43. Words are interesting and significant. In Acts 11-13, we encounter some important words that lead us to maybe the most important word – neighbor. To watch this message online, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ucj6qVgcwSs

Acts 10. In the story of Peter and Cornelius, God challenges Peter to embrace a bigger, more generous, more expansive faith. In our fractured and divided world, perhaps it is important for us to remember that God loved Peter and was present with Peter both before and after his faith expanded.

Acts 4:23-37. When Luke concludes his dramatic story about Peter & John healing a crippled man, preaching an impromptu sermon before an astonished crowd, and getting arrested by the Temple leaders, he ends the story in a surprisingly small and understated way. This gentle ending holds wisdom that we need to tap into. To watch this message online, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0avdUv3U_wg

Acts 1:1-11. The Ascension is a perplexing event, but one that is central to our faith. As we begin our series in Acts, we discuss this fascinating story and ask ourselves the same question the disciples were asked following it: “Why are you staring into the sky?” To watch this message online, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FA5M_5P2YtA

John 20:19-29. After Jesus died, the disciples locked themselves behind closed doors and lived out their own “shelter in place” orders. They were afraid. The story has some interesting parallels to our own moment in time as we live under “shelter in place” orders. Jesus offers to Thomas to “see my hands” as proof of His life. I believe Jesus is still making the same offer to us today. To watch this message online, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bl7q-14s2xM

Psalm 46. As we wrap up our Just Mercy series and celebrate Palm Sunday, we are reminded that as followers of Jesus we are not just called to repentance and compassion, but to be stone catchers as well. To watch this message online, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LgmEEPepQBE

Psalm 38. In most of David’s psalms, he is all-too-quick to call out the sin, hurt and evil around him, and far too slow to identify it in himself. Hmm. Sound familiar? But in Psalm 38, David seems to turn a corner and embrace his own brokenness. To watch this message online, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l0EV4RhA_vY

Psalm 89. In so much of life, it seems too long before justice and restoration arrives. It can make things seem hopeless. The remedy for this hopelessness is to remember Christ’s Kingdom is already arriving here-and-now, and a day is coming when Christ will set all things to rights.

Psalm 23. In David’s most quoted song/Psalm, he boasts about the table God prepares for him in the presence of his enemies. God still prepares tables for us, but could it be that God wants us to sit with our enemies? To break bread with our enemies? To identify with our enemies?
