The Supremacy of Christ

We kicked off our new series ‘Anchor of the Soul’ this week where we’ll be diving head first into the Book of Hebrews. We covered A LOT of ground for Week 1 looking at Hebrews 1:1-4, 5-14, and 2:1-4. The BIG IDEA was that “Jesus is supreme over all things and worthy of our whole lives living in submission to both his grace and his glory.“ Check it out as we lay the groundwork for 16 weeks in the Book of Hebrews.

For those that asked for the N.T. Wright quote, here you go:

“How can you live with the terrifying thought that the hurricane has become human, that fire has become flesh, that life itself became life and walked in our midst? Christianity either means that, or it means nothing. It is either the most devastating disclosure of the deepest reality of the world, or it is a sham, a nonsense, a bit of deceitful playacting. Most of us, unable to cope with saying either of those things, condemn ourselves to live in the shallow world in between.“

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 of the Gathered Church, there are certain times where that’s not as safe. 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 smaller House Gatherings (following local, state, and federal guidelines) via Zoom. We’d love for you to join us next week!Jesus is supreme over all things and worthy of our whole lives living in submission to both his grace and his glory.
