In the second week of Advent, we focus on faith. We will be looking at Mary and the faith she had to trust God’s will for her life.

Christmas Like Never Before: Hope
This first week of Advent we wonder together what hope means for us in 2020? And how do we live as a people of Hope in the midst of all that 2020 is sending our way?
Reinventing Church: Jeremiah 29
This week we focus on Jeremiah 29. In recent months, many things have changed and it is easy to believe we really cannot live fully until things are back to “normal.” How might God be challenging us to live in the moment now?
Reinventing Church: Acts 15:1-21
In Acts 15 we step into the first conflict of the early church. What does it take to become part of this community? Even when talking about difficult matters, the early church focused on how they see God at work, and how to encourage the church and believers.
Reinventing Church: Acts 12:5-19
In Acts 15 we step into the first conflict of the early church. What does it take to become part of this community? Even when talking about difficult matters, the early church focused on how they see God at work, and how to encourage the church and believers.
Reinventing Church: Acts 11:1-18
The early church is challenged to answer, who is part of our group? What defines being part of this? Previously you had to be Jewish. Now a non-Jew has heard the name of Jesus and professed faith, is that person “in?”
Reinventing Church: Acts 10:9-23
God’s call for us to love as Christ has loved us goes beyond people, places, traditions and comfort zones. In Acts 10, God challenges Peter’s assumptions about who and how God works in this world.
Reinventing Church: Acts 9:1-19
Saul was perhaps one of the least likely people for God to choose, to take the gospel to the gentiles, and yet, we read in this powerful conversion story of God changing his life, and sending this former persecutor of Christians to go preach the gospel.
Reinventing Church: Acts 8:26-40
In Acts 8 we follow Philip as God leads him to a road where he meets a man reading from the Old Testament. In this moment, he is invited to share his first hand experience of following Jesus, and the man’s life is forever changed.
Reinventing Church: Acts 6
This week we will be focused around giving generously. In Acts 6 we find that the early church is struggling with everyone trying to do everything, and so the position of deacon is created.
Reinventing Church: Acts 5
In Acts 5 the disciples are again under fire from the religious leaders, who are running out of ideas about what to do with this movement.
Reinventing Church: Acts 4
Do we fall into the trap of believing that what lies ahead in our lives is simply more of what we have already experienced. What if God is up to something new?
