Our Identity in Christ
Hope for the Future
A Holy Priesthood
How do we understand the church in a post-pandemic world? The Bible offers a series of metaphors to describe the church’s role in the world. This morning we explore Peter’s reminder that we are a “holy and royal priesthood.”
Christianity is not a spectator sport, in which the churchgoers watch the priest or pastor “do” ministry. Instead, it is a family of priests, and God calls each of us to minister to and serve the world around us. Yes, you are a priest!
Strangers and Aliens
How do we understand the church in a post-pandemic world? The Bible offers a series of metaphors to describe the church’s role in the world. This morning we explore Peter’s reminder that we are strangers and aliens in this world.
To be a stranger—an exile—is profoundly disorienting. Why would God call us to be spiritually homeless, so to speak? And could it be that we can be more effective when we are less comfortable?
