Awaken Community

Pastor Judy Howard-Peterson is with us again teaching from Paul's letter to the Corinthians. Expanding from last week's message reminding us of our deep need to be connected to the source, Judy talks about generosity and living congruent lives.

This morning Pastor Jenna teaches on 1 Corinthians 10:1-13, focusing on Paul's word to the church at Corinth to "do better." Jenna helps us reflect on what was revealed in us this past year and explores what it actually means to be invited by God to do better. 

This morning we dive into 1 Corinthians 11 to see what it says about the Lord's Table and what it has to do with the Passover meal and subsequently for us today.

This morning, Micah clarifies what we believe generosity is and what it isn't. This isn't a cry for money as it can often be when you hear the subject of a sermon is generosity. It's a way of us being together after shrinking back, closing in, and shutting down due to the pandemic. In many ways, we have to relearn what it looks like to be generous with each other again.

In the second week of our Proximate series, we wanted to acknowledge the process some of the grief and loss that we've experienced since we last met. And in this practice, learn how to be Jesus and embody the Lord's comfort to each another. 

This Sunday was our first gathering back together in person in the building. 16 months, 73 weeks, 508 days since our last gathering.  With this series, we're focusing on what it looks like to be together, next to each other in the pews once again.

This week's final teaching of our Lost in Translation series is from the New Testament. 1 Corinthians 11 is about how women should wear head coverings in worship. Could this scripture actually mean the opposite of what we've mostly heard?

Heading back to the Old Testament this week for Lost in Translation, taking a look at the role hospitality plays in community and even in healing relationships.

Aaaaaand here's another doozy. As potentially problematic as this passage has been for many, the Great Commission is our scripture for this week. Micah jumps into pulling the threads and differentiating between consent and conquest.
