Awaken Community

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. 

Another great week of Lost in Translation with Micah. This week, it's the story of Tamar in Genesis 38. Micah takes on a couple misconceptions about the scripture and offers some different ideas and takes to consider. 

This week, we’re discussing Romans 13. It may not seem like an obvious choice for Lost in Translation on the surface, but it's been used to rationalize so much that is the opposite of the way of Jesus in the world.

We're jumping in full force with this summer's Lost in Translation series with Judges 19. It's one of those scriptures you read and think "What the what?!" But Micah shows us what we can glean from it and how it applies to where we find ourselves today.   Surgeon General's Warning: Not suitable to listen with children present. Also, this content might be triggering for victims of sexual trauma.

This week we're finishing up our Wells + Fences series with Freedom in Christ. It's the final part of the picture of what kind of community we want to be and look like. 

This title might bring up memories of the Left Behind series, but in this case we're talking about revelation in the way that something or someone reveals themselves. Namely, God. How has God revealed themself before and are they continuing to do it today?
