At the Table: The Power of the Potluck

On the day of Pentecost, the Holy Spirit filled Jesus followers and empowered them invite more and more people to join them at His Table.
Acts 2

At the Table: The Empty Chair

Jesus notices who is missing from his table. He sees the empty chairs that ought to be filled. And He tells his guests to go out and invite them- the poor, the crippled, the lame, the blind… and while you’re at it, why not add some women and the Gentiles too. Jesus notices who is NOT at his table. And He wants us to see it too. Because I think Jesus knows- that when we see it- that’s when we’ll do something about it.
Psalm 145:1-7
Luke 14:1-24

At the Table: Never Eat Alone

As we learned last week, Jesus invites us – ALL of us – to sit down with Him. Jesus invites us to grace. And as soon as we say yes to Jesus’ grace, Jesus then throws us – ALL of us- into community.
Psalm 133
Luke 7:36-50

At the Table: A Place at the Table

Jesus came eating and drinking. His goal: To seek and save the lost. Jesus' invited the worst of the worst to sit and dine with him at his table. And when they accepted, their lives were forever changed.
Luke 5:27-32

The Long Story Short Class: Revelation

We made it! This will conclude our passage through the Bible with the Long Story Short series. Dr. David Bruner gives us a crash course in what makes the book of Revelation so unique, how the Beatle's can put us in the right perspective, and then walks us through some of the interesting metaphors that rededicate the importance of the Bible and Jesus.

Long Story Short: Creation (Again)

The Bible's last book was written by John the Revelator around 75-100 AD. He writes a letter to Christian communities he knows but cannot visit in person, because he's been exiled by the Roman empire to the Island of Patmos. But even in the wake of exile and persecution, John writes about hope. A greater hope, the greatest hope- a hope that keeps you going when you’ve lost everything.
Revelation 1:1-2, 7-8
Revelation 21:1-6

Long Story Short: Ask Us Anything #2!

Our second Ask Us Anything! Becca joins David to answer another round of questions, this time focusing on the New Testament as we start to draw to a close on the Long Story Short series.

Long Story Short: Church

No one follows Jesus on their own. There is no such thing as a solitary Christian. As soon as we say yes to Jesus, we are enfolded into a family, a community of faith that transcends blood, race, culture, nationality and time. Everyone who follows Jesus is made one in Christ.
1 Corinthians 12:12-26
Romans 12:1-8

The Long Story Short Class: Mission

This week, we delve into the early disciples' mission to spread the message of Jesus. Dr. David Bruner first takes a look at the early martyrs and the transformation of Saul/Paul from the early Church's fiercest persecutor into it's most powerful messenger. We then analyze the importance of the New Testament's most heroic cameo appearance in Ananias.

Long Story Short: Mission

God's pursuit of His people is relentless and neverending. And God's plan to reach all people is to empower us, bu His Holy Spirit, to proclaim the good news of God's love to all the earth.
