The Story and the Spirit
For 2020, we're spending the entire year exploring the Bible, its story, and significance for us as followers of Jesus. Here is our working definition of the Bible: “The Bible is a library of writings that are both divine and human, that together tell a unified story, which leads us to Jesus.”
This past Sunday we continued in our second mini-series in the ‘Year of Biblical Literacy’ called, ‘The Story of God.’ We’re exploring the 4 Acts of the Bible: Creation, Fall, Redemption, Restoration and for Week 5 we explored how God’s plan for ‘Redemption’ continues in the Spirit of God working through the Church to declare and demonstrate the Kingdom of God.
Like thousands of churches worldwide, this global pandemic has forced us to be creative in our response — both in terms of how we gather and how we serve our community. Though we believe the normative pattern established in Scripture for community anticipates embodied presence, there are certain times where that’s not possible. We find ourselves in such a time and are thankful to be able to leverage the digital landscape to remain faithful to plugging into community. This week’s Gathering came by way of a Zoom video call. We’d love for you to join us next week!
