Teaching

In this week’s gatherings, before turning to the book of Genesis, we shared a vision for our ten-year anniversary coming in April. Be sure to listen to the community update at the beginning of the episode to stay up to date. And then we turned to the strange and deeply human story of temptation in the garden, shame, expulsion, and coming home.

In this week’s gatherings, before turning to the book of Genesis, we shared a vision for our ten-year anniversary coming in April. Be sure to listen to the community update at the beginning of the episode to stay up to date. And then we turned to the loneliness of Adam, the challenge of “helper” language, and the power of the Gospel to create a community.

When Genesis 2 describes Adam made from the dust and breathed into life by God, what if the writer is telling a story about all of us? And what if poetic power of this text isn’t at odds with the biological account of human origins known as evolution?

At a time when technology, economics, and politics can leave us feeling anxious and disempowered, we’re turning to a text in Scripture that comes, in part, from what might have been the most traumatic and disempowering experience suffered by the people of God. The book of Genesis invites us to a deeper perception of the goodness of the world and the power of our work within it.

The story of Jesus calming the storm appears in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Yet the circumstances surrounding Matthew’s telling differ from those in Mark and Luke. What can Matthew’s version tell us about God, ourselves, and how we can get through the storms in our lives?

Many of us have been taught, in one way or another, that wants and desires are at odds with our life with God. But why does Jesus ask people to name their desires?
