Whether you were sick, had class, or are just wanting to review what you heard on Monday night, this podcast is…

We practice spiritual disciplines to learn to center our lives around God, instead of ourselves.
Our world has been grappling with questions of justice. We want to look at scripture to see IF, WHEN and HOW God cares about justice.

We see throughout the course of Jesus's life how He navigated relationships with His disciples and others through their ups and downs as a community. We want to look at these stories in scripture and learn from them seeing how they connect together to shape the first Christian community.

Listen in on why sharing the Gospel is so important as Samuel lays out a practical way of doing so!
Gretchen kicks off our "Start Here" series with laying out the foundation for what we believe.
This week Gretchen talks about Abraham's test with his son Isaac.
Listen in as Gretchen talks about Confession and Sin from our Origin Story series.
This week Samuel shared about Digital Asceticism and how we must radically deny ourselves of this digital world by holding on to Jesus.
This week David shared about Sabbath - both what it is and then how we can incorporate this pattern into our lives.
We see from Jesus' life that intimacy with God without attention to Him is impossible. Silence and Solitude is a pattern Jesus used to maintain this in every day life.
Gretchen kicked off the spring semester of CSF's Monday Night Worship talking about developing a Rule of Life. She shared the purpose behind the series from Romans 12:1-2. Then she shared the first pattern - how though Jesus's schedule was full, he managed to live in an unhurried way. We can as well. Special guest Abigail shares her story as a part of this message.
Gretchen began our series Finding Your Way Back To God. She shared about how the first step in the Prodigal Son's story was awakening to longing. Special thanks to Community Christian Church for inspiring this content.
Samuel wrapped up our Framework series talking about the mission to which all Jesus followers are called. Special guest, UIS senior, Abigail!
Gretchen shared about the importance of being in a Gospel centered community for living a life of faith. She showed how the Jesus following community found in Acts 2 is a compelling vision for us to aspire to together today.
Monday Night Worship is BACK!! Week 1, David began our Framework series, sharing what CSF is all about: The Gospel of Jesus.
We kicked off week 1 of our Micah 6:8 Devotional series entitled "What Does God Want?" We learned that Mia and Kelsey REALLY know their homophones. We also learned a little from David about applying a biblical worldview when defining justice. Then, Kayla shared several ways that we can practically begin acting justly right now.
Ephesians 6:10-24: a compelling summary and Psalm 1: a beckoning intro. These bookends both use beautiful imagery to describe how truly good life comes from drawing strength from God.
On Nov. 15th, David shared about the book of Micah - preparing us for our 3 week devotional based on Micah 6:8 entitled "What Does God Want?" By looking at the context for Micah 6:8, we learn that ultimately what God wanted then, and has always wanted, is whole hearted surrender. In short, He wants US.
Psalm 63 gives us words for a life of delight and submission to God. Ephesians 5:21-6:9 highlights that submission also must extend to our relationships with each other. Submission is confusing and painful, but it leads to a life of freedom and joy. It frees us to "lay down the terrible burden of always needing to get our own way" (Richard Foster). Join us in praying this Psalm through a song from special guest, Emmanuelle!
Special guest, Jack Snyders, leads us in praying Psalm 26.
Ephesians 4:1-16 is all about being a mature, unified community under Christ. Psalm 133 helps us pray in light of this - as unified, holy servants of God. Take a moment wherever you are to pray to God in unity with the rest of the CSF community.
Psalm 103 helps us pray in light of the rich and deep love God has for us both individually and collectively. This same love is highlighted in Ephesians 3:14-21. Right now, slow down and let God's love interrupt your day by praying Psalm 103.
Psalm 85 highlights themes of revival and peace - echoing the themes of Ephesians 2:11 - 3:13. Lets take a few minutes today to pray Psalm 85 for ourselves as well as those around us.
Our CSF Small Groups passage this week was Ephesians 2:1-10 which addresses both our deadness in sin and how only with God's help can He make us clean and alive. Renee leads us this week in praying Psalm 51 as a response to our need for Him to take us from life as a "Dead Rebel" to an "Alive Masterpiece."
In our small groups reading of Ephesians 1, we encounter themes of mystery and revelation - which are echoed in the Psalms. Renee leads us this week in praying Psalm 19 together.
In order to grow in prayerful living this fall, we're going to spend time in the Psalms each week. On Mondays, we'll hear from God together through His Word in small groups through the book of Ephesians. Then, on Wednesdays, we'll release a podcast that will help us respond to those truths through the language of prayer in the Psalms.
Outreach and Men's Campus Minister, Samuel, challenges us to be on Jesus' mission. CSF Student, Abigail Way, makes a special appearance to show us how simple it can be to share the Gospel.
Gretchen shared from Acts 2 about the sort of Christian community that is possible for us in CSF. For more information regarding CSF small groups, head on over to the CSF app!
David Lasley kicked off our semester at Monday Night Worship in our new series called "Rebuild". So much of our lives have been deconstructed. In this series we hope to learn a few things together that can make all the difference this fall as we do the work of rebuilding Week 1 we looked at The Gospel - this better story about Jesus' grace that can remake and shape everything in our lives.
