We all have experienced the awkwardness of standing alone at a social gathering, sitting by yourself at the school lunch table or looking around a room unable to name anyone there. We feel alone without significant connections. Paul teaches that in Christ, we are never strangers. We are citizens in God's nation, embraced by His family and become a temple of collective worship. The grace of God does more than forgive. It shapes us as God's Household. Empowered Living Vol 2: Too many Christians live uncertain of who they are in Christ, or what Christ has made available to them. They feel impoverished despite Christ's riches. They feel powerless despite Jesus' strength. They feel alone and without purpose despite being chosen by God. We are, at times, blind to the resources granted us as God's children. In this series, Dr. John continues his teaching from Ephesians. Paul elaborates on the spiritual blessings promised us and we find that truly, we are enriched beyond expectation.

This week, Pastor Joe concludes our 7-week series journeying through Ephesians remind us that we are not called to be the saviors of the world, but rather to resist the systems that produce and legitimize rulers and the authorities who put power over people so that we can notice the workings of the Holy Spirit that unites us into Beloved Community.
When we face the evils of the world, God has already provided the tools we need for protection. Scripture: Ephesians 6:10-20
This week, Pastor Joe continues our journey through Ephesians. Drawing from the context of Ephesians and the movement of the Holy Spirit that unites, Pastor Joe challenges us to live as wise people, knowing the same Holy Spirit that was at work in Ephesus two-thousand years ago is still at work now, uniting us as a people daring to dream of a better world!
How do we spend our days? We should make the most of our time. Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-21

We marvel at our God who can do more than we can ever hope or imagine. Scripture: Ephesians 3:14-21
Recorded on July 21, 2024
This week, we continue on in our journey through Ephesians as we turn to the author's declaration that Christ is our Peace. Together, we wonder how we might go against the empires of today and live into God's preferred future, breaking down the walls that divide us and choosing to accept a "permanent, positive peace".
Jesus calls us to tear down walls as we reach out to others in love. Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22

This week, we launched a 7-week series journeying through Ephesians under the theme, No Longer Strangers. Pastor Joe began the series looking at how God's belovedness includes all. Rather than allowing our faith and convictions to feel better than the other, perhaps the blessings God promises should inspire us to action in the midst of a broken world!
God has chosen each of us and we in turn can invite others to the family. Scripture: Ephesians 1:3-14
This new episode of The BETWEEN Podcast features a sacred conversation between host Matt Mattson and author Gregory Coles, Ph.D. about his book No Longer Strangers. Gregory Coles is a tangle of identities: born in upstate New York, raised on the Indonesian island of Java, and now working as a freelance author and scholar in Idaho's Treasure Valley. He holds a PhD in English from Penn State and has been in love with language since age 8, when he started learning his older brother's SAT vocabulary words and reading Shakespeare's Hamlet. Greg's fiction and expository writing have been published by Penguin Random House and Houghton Mifflin Harcourt. His academic research on rhetorics of marginality (how language works in society for disadvantaged groups) has appeared in College English and Rhetorica and in an edited collection from Cambridge University Press. His two memoirs, Single, Gay, Christian and No Longer Strangers, have earned awards that include a Foreword INDIES Award Finalist and an InterVarsity Press Readers' Choice Award. His newest book, a novel exploring the power of language to shape human thought, is The Limits of My World. Facebook Instagram Twitter Website

Gregory Coles is the author of Single, Gay, Christian, No Longer Strangers, and the recently released dystopian-ish novel, The Limits of My World. He holds a PhD in English from Penn State and lives in Boise, Idaho, where he works as a writer and speaker. Greg is a Senior Research Fellow at The Center for Faith, Sexuality & Gender. In this podcast conversation, we talk about his book The Limits of My World, which includes themes around the philosophy of language, anthropology, gender, and the nature of reality. This leads to a broader conversation around fiction vs. nonfiction literature (including the Bible), the role of genre for determining meaning, and the possibility that fiction helps us see the truth more than non-fiction.

Ephesians 2:19 — In this sermon on Ephesians 2:19 titled “No Longer Strangers,” Dr. Martyn Lloyd-Jones addresses the reality that Christians are citizens of the kingdom of God and “no longer strangers.” Dr. Lloyd-Jones notes that the imagery used by Paul (“strangers” and “foreigners”) to describe the past tense for the Christian implies several things. Before salvation, they were around the people of God and may have even seemed to be a citizen of the kingdom, but in reality were not. Many, he concludes, are in the same predicament in the church. They are around the people of God but have no true understanding of the things of God. They may be able to have deep philosophical or theological conversations, but when true religious experience is discussed they feel awkward. Therefore, before one seeks to understand what it means to be a citizen, it is important to come to the understanding of one's status as citizen or foreigner.
This Sunday we'll move into our third practice in this current sermon series, “Make time to gather with your community.”
