Today the Spirit of God tears down barriers and expands the church's vision.

On this Palm Sunday, we step into God's salvation story and receive two invitations to deepen our life with Jesus, preparing us to more fully enter his death and resurrection in the week ahead.

Caring for the vulnerable among us is an integral part of our faith. It is one of the core ways in which the "word of God increased". What does that look like in our modern age? What does that look like in your daily life?

Practicing the way of Jesus will inevitably lead us into a confrontation with external and internal resistance to God's desire and plan to heal, liberate, and commission us as agents of his unfolding Kingdom. Joy, even amidst suffering, is waiting should we accept the invitation to trust and participate in his salvation story.

Today Luke reminds us of a defining feature of the first-century church—a reminder that carries with it a sacred invitation.

Peter's story and Spirit-inspired sermon bears witness to Jesus—Lord and Messiah—and invites us into the dynamic, death-defeating, creatively unfolding reality of the age of the Kingdom of God, confronting us with a heart-level question: are we living out the story of our culture or of the Kingdom?

Enter the story and encounter the Spirit's power at work—then and now—through a humble, listening church.

This week we slowly begin digging into the qualities that characterize God's people as we “practice resurrection” and surrender, to be transformed into individuals— and then a community— that make a habit of “walking the way of love”, modeled for us by Jesus.

What role does Scripture have in our lives as apprentices of Jesus? The library we call “the Bible” can connect us to God and form us into people of love, but distraction, hurry, lingering mental maps from our family of origin and other influences can hinder our experience with these ancient texts.

This week we explore one of the most crucial aspects of being a disciple of Jesus: the role of the mind in the active, ongoing process of transformation; what it looks like and how we are called to partner with the Spirit of Christ to experience it.

This week Paul deepens our understanding of how the unique unity of the Spirit-filled community depends on the five-fold ministry of gift-people God gives the Church, so that the conditions for maturing from infants into healthy individuals persists and the new-community of God is realized.

This week we discover how to slow down and live out of creative love—to safeguard and grow a resilient, peaceful, and unified community—that finds its source in the loving unity of the Father, Son and Spirit.

Today we join Paul in prayer; discovering how the Spirit empowers us to cultivate lives of continual prayer, alive and attentive to the intimate presence of Christ, so that we might experience more and more the boundless depths of his love, becoming people who love like he does.
