Sons of God
Romans 8:14-17
Familial language about God can be hard. We import all sorts of baggage and the waters of God's intentions towards us get cloudy. But maybe this can offer a bit of clarity.
Coming Back to Life
Romans 8:9-13
We want to follow Jesus but often feel stuck between religious performance and apathy. Is there another way? Have you tried coming back to life?
A Brave New World
Romans 8:5–8
God's invitation into a brave new world means seeing the world through the lens of God's subversive action at work in it and in you and this changes everything.
No Condemnation
Romans 8:1-4
The most hopeful idea you'll ever hear is not about an escape, away into God's future, but about how God's future breaks into your present. And this good news changes everything.

A quiet life: Gathering
Hebrews 10:19-25
Busy, stressed, tired, and just plain worn out. How we can begin to pursue a quiet life that will transform us and maybe even the cosmos by gathering together week after week?
The spiritual practice of wonder
Mark 10:13-16
We know the good news, but it is sometimes hard to fully receive and live in it. Scripture tells us that children are experts at receiving the kingdom of God. How then could we model our spiritual life after the kids among us? The spiritual practice of wonder helps us answer that question.
The wellspring of love
Romans 6:1-10
The world is a broken place, but there is a profound reality that gives a deep hope in the face of any and every circumstance. It has been the source of hope for God's people for over 2,000 years and can be yours also. Want to know what it is?

The wellspring of God’s dying
Hebrews 10
To find hope amidst our doubts, suffering, and failures, we paradoxically look to a crucified God.
A wellspring of sharing
Philippians 2:1-11
In our search for meaning, significance, success, we are each longing for transcendence. But the way up is down. None of this can come through our usual means of hustle, intellect, power, or wealth. We won't find ourselves in gaining, but in losing. This is what Christ shows us.
Our wellspring of love
John 10:22-33
If there is a God what is God like? Is God a maniacal tyrant, demanding obedience and subservience? An absent clockmaker? Or something worse? Is there any way to know? A long held Christian confession can help us navigate these important questions.
This is everything
We’ve had to ask hard questions about faith over the last few years. And we’re left wondering if there's anything worth saving? Or maybe better yet anything that can actually save us? Is there a spring of life in this wasteland of death?
What’s the point of praying?
Why should we even pray? Especially if God already knows what we're going to ask, what's the point? The Psalm's answer will completely redefine prayer and it's place in our lives.
The Silence of God
How do we pray when faced with the unthinkable? More than this, how do we pray when it seems like our prayers are met by silence?
Where to begin with prayer
Ready to pray but don't know where to start? The Psalms show us. Whether you've never prayed, or have prayed your whole life, they teach and train us in prayer like nothing else.
