Justice | Micah 6:1-8

May 17, 2026 - Living the Story -  Jerell Carper traces the theme of justice through Bible and into our modern cultural moment. Justice saturates statements of God's character, the posture of his people, and the way of Jesus. The whole gospel invites us to get off the hamster wheel of the "American Dream" be sources of justice and righteousness in the world. /// Seventh Sunday of Eastertide /// The Story of God: Part 13

King | 2 Samuel 7:1-17

May 10, 2026 - Living the Story -  Jerell Carper looks at the character, covenant, and surprising suffering of Israel's king. When the faithful king rules, the kingdom of God takes root on earth. This theme of "king" is the strongest theme throughout the whole story of the Bible, from Genesis to Revelation.  /// Sixth Sunday of Eastertide /// The Story of God: Part 12

Communion | 1 John 4:10-16

May 3, 2026 - Living the Story -  Brianna Hines asks, "What does it mean to abide in Christ?" Practicing the presence of God reminds us that God is with us, God loves us, and God wants us to see how he is at work in the world. Those who are in Christ are never alone. /// Fifth Sunday of Eastertide ///  The Story of God: Part 11

Temple | Exodus 25:1-9

April 26 - Living the Story -  Jerell Carper continues our series through the Story of God by tracing the theme of the tabernacle and temple through the Bible. God's desires to dwell with his people on earth, and this is evident in Eden, the tabernacle, temple, Jesus, the church, and the new creation.  /// Fourth Sunday of Eastertide ///  The Story of God: Part 10

Wisdom | Matthew 7:21-29

*Note: some audio difficulties*  April 19, 2026 - Living the Story -  Michelle Jones digs into the practice of wisdom, noting that it's not just understanding or information. All of those things can fail us at some point. Wisdom, according to the text with Jesus, is usually revealed in a storm, in a challenge, when you've got problems. Wisdom speaks truth over what's simply true. It thinks algebraically versus arithmetically, and it acts before the storm, acts in obedience, and is not alone in the storm. Wisdom is the living out of our covenant with God. Michelle is Pastor of Prayer and Teaching at Imago Dei Community in Portland, OR.  /// Third Sunday of Eastertide ///  The Story of God: Part 9
