Colossians – Part Four – Onesimus Is One Of You
2/23/2020 – Colossians – Part Four – Onesimus Is One Of You
Colossians 4:1-9. The final chapter of Paul’s letter to the church at Colossae begins with a strong encouragement to slave owners to treat their slaves “fairly and justly.” But this was not Paul’s only word in this letter to those who owned slaves. Nor was it his most pointed or radical.

Colossians – Part Two – Be Careful not to get Synagogue’d
2/2/2020 – Colossians – Part Two – Be Careful not to get Synagogue’d
Colossians 2:1-15. The believers in Colossae are facing pressures from the religious establishment to follow Jewish observances, rituals and laws. Paul warns them (tongue-in-cheek) not to get “synagogue’d” into thinking they need more than Jesus. If Paul were writing to us today, what influences might he warn us against?

Colossians – Part One – Maturity
2/2/2020 – Colossians – Part One – Maturity
Colossians 1:1-20. The church in Colossae was a young church living in a very divided culture. In other words, they were a lot like us. Perhaps it should come as no surprise that the main theme of the letter is maturity.

The Great Omission (Refresh 2020) – Part Four – Community
1/26/2020 – The Great Omission (Refresh 2020) – Part Four – Community
Matthew 28:16-20; John 13:34-35. For many (most?) of us who call Ekklesia home, we share a common experience of faith deconstruction and the corresponding search for a better faith. As it turns out, this shared experience isn’t enough to create community. Something more is required of us.

The Great Omission (Refresh 2020) – Part Three – Money / Generosity
1/19/2020 – The Great Omission (Refresh 2020) – Part Three – Money / Generosity
Matthew 28:16-20; Matthew 6:19-24. The world and the gospel are at odds with how we should handle our resources. The world encourages a “bad eye” but Jesus calls us to a “good eye.” What does this mean? And what does this look like for us today?

The Great Omission (Refresh 2020) – Part Two – Jesus’ Kingdom Welcome
1/12/2020 – The Great Omission (Refresh 2020) – Part Two – Jesus’ Kingdom Welcome
Luke 5:27-32, Mark 1:16-20, and Matthew 28:16-20. When Jesus invited people into his Kingdom life, his starting point was always “belonging” which eventually led to “believing.” Over time, Christianity has inverted this invitation. How can we return to Jesus’ original invitation?

The Great Omission (Refresh 2020) – Part One – Discipleship
1/5/2020 – The Great Omission (Refresh 2020) – Part One – Discipleship
Matthew 28:16-20. What does it mean to “go and make disciples?” On the other side of the guilt-laden (and often destructive) approach to evangelism and discipleship of the late 20th century protestant church, how are we to embrace this call?
