As an introduction to the new series, HOME, Aaron explores the idea of what a home really is: more than walls and a roof, but an identity that carries hospitality, ownership, meaning, and esteem. Aaron focuses in on the story of Abraham and the blessing that God gave him when he left his home to go find a new one. This blessing not only protects Abraham, but also makes Abraham a blessing to the world. As for us, the same invitation is extended to us: will we receive the blessing that anchors us and that makes us a blessing to the world?

We concluded our Ancient Words series on Resurrection Sunday with a special service all about how God causes us to rise up out of suffering and to overcome. Not only does He do this, but the whole time He is with us and He is for us.

The story of Jacob becoming Israel is a powerful one and one that is full of meaning for us today. You see, something powerful happens when we go from wrestling against others and against ourselves and, instead, choose to step into the circle with God. As Brian shares in his message this week, when we step into that circle we win because it is only when we engage with God that we truly discover who we are. Not only that, but when we discover our identity in that place, we become a new person... just like Jacob becoming Israel.

In this part of our Ancient Words series Brian takes a look at three different words that all speak about ways that God leads us. Whether God is showing us the way, holding our hand, or pushing us forward, He tailors His leadership to be appropriate to our current season.

The Ancient Words series is all about digging into these ancient words and wisdom from God so that we can hear His voice in our lives today, and the word "Yada" is particularly powerful in that regard. More than just information about something, Yada refers to the experiential, interactive engagement where we truly know the other. Nowhere is this seen better than in the way that we make covenants...

Ancient Words is a favorite series around here, and Gene kicks it off this Sunday with a look at "Shalom". Many know that this word is translated as "peace", but it's about much more than the absence of conflict and even about more than a sense of personal wholeness. In action, it contains all this as well as a core motivation: to be those that impart peace into the world. Gene outlines several practical ways to be this kind of a person and to participate in Shalom.

We conclude this series with a special Sunday looking back on the past year of our Common Good initiative. We also take some time to close out the series looking at the idea of a throne. Thrones symbolize authority, control, and power across cultures and the authority sitting on the throne exerts a powerful influence in our lives. For some thrones are an archaic symbol while others seek to put themselves on the "throne of their life". However, it's only when we put God on the throne and when we sit in the place of the servant that we experience the passion, purpose, and direction that we crave so deeply in our hearts.

This series is all about how we look to God as both our Father and our King, and one of the ways this appears vividly is in the parable of the Master and the Day-workers. It's an insightful look into the economy of the Kingdom of God. As Aaron explores the parable, he looks at how this King and His economy is characterized as being personal, compassionate, faithful, and generous.
