In this sermon, we explore how God's work in the past anchors God's people in the present.Every one of us is story-formed. We are shaped by what happens to us and by how we respond. But if we dwell only on our own stories, we can become self-focused and self-absorbed. Psalm 68 shows us the way out: we need a bigger story. The biblical writers ground us in God's story, showing how the narrative of redemption is more ancient, more familial, and more empowering than the alternatives. Series Description: The Psalms are the song book of God's people, and each summer we mine their riches. Their imagery, poetry, and theology invite us to deeper worship of God and remind us of his unchanging character.

Psalm 67 shows us the right way to seek God's blessing: not individually, but communally. We should ask God to show favor to his people, because the flourishing of the church leads to the flourishing of the nations.The word "blessing" might be overused in religious circles, but it gets at something profound: we all want God's blessing. We want God to favor us, to smile upon us, to be happy with us. Series Description: The Psalms are the song book of God's people, and each summer we mine their riches.

Postmodern Patrimonialism. That's the term Brookings Institution scholar Jonathan Rauch uses to describe Trump's second presidency, arguing it represents a 21st century model of running government as if it's his own personal property. Rauch describes Trump 2's "everything everywhere all at once" strategy as a venture capital-like approach: launching numerous initiatives simultaneously to overwhelm opposition, expecting some to succeed while recognizing that others will fail. Noting that this strategy has slowed since March due to court challenges and declining approval ratings, Rauch discusses the institutional breakdown of Congress, the emergence of Gavin Newsom as the apex of the resistance to Trump 2, and identifies Stephen Miller and Russell Vought as key strategic masterminds behind the administration's coordinated assault on universities, law firms, and democratic norms. Five Key Takeaways * Patrimonialism, Not Fascism: Rauch has shifted from describing Trump as fascist to "patrimonial"—running government as personal property and family business. This model is less organized than fascism but equally corrosive to democratic institutions.* "Everything Everywhere All at Once" Strategy: Trump's administration deliberately overwhelms opposition by launching simultaneous attacks on multiple fronts (universities, law firms, agencies, individuals), making coordinated resistance nearly impossible.* Congressional Institutional Collapse: America has effectively moved from a three-branch to two-branch government, with Congress absent as a check on executive power—a more fundamental threat than Trump himself.* Democratic Governors as Resistance Leaders: Figures like Gavin Newsom are emerging as the most effective opposition voices, using states' rights to challenge federal overreach in ways Congress cannot.* Miller and Vought as Strategic Masterminds: Stephen Miller (immigration/security) and Russell Vought (domestic policy/OMB) are identified as the key architects behind the administration's coordinated assault on democratic institutions.Jonathan Rauch is a senior fellow in the Governance Studies program at the Brookings Institution and the author of eight books and many articles on public policy, culture, and government. He is a contributing writer of The Atlantic and recipient of the 2005 National Magazine Award, the magazine industry's equivalent of the Pulitzer Prize. His many Brookings publications include the 2021 book “The Constitution of Knowledge: A Defense of Truth”, as well as the 2015 ebook “Political Realism: How Hacks, Machines, Big Money, and Back-Room Deals Can Strengthen American Democracy.” Other books include “The Happiness Curve: Why Life Gets Better after 50” (2018) and “Gay Marriage: Why It Is Good for Gays, Good for Straights, and Good for America” (2004). He has also authored research on political parties, marijuana legalization, LGBT rights and religious liberty, and more.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting the daily KEEN ON show, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy interview series. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

In this sermon, we explore the anatomy of Christian worship: the what, why, when, how, and who.Human beings aren't just thinkers or lovers or doers; we are worshipers. And the Bible calls us to worship God. So what exactly does that look like? Series Description: The Psalms are the song book of God's people, and each summer we mine their riches. Their imagery, poetry, and theology invite us to deeper worship of God and remind us of his unchanging character.

Where is our global culture today? How did we get here? What steps might we need to take now to shape a future that could become a saving grace for humanity? It feels special to find a clear, cohesive and compelling picture, one that encompasses the insights that help us make sense and meaning out of the tumultuous times we live in and answer these questions.We dive deep into a new, emerging worldview in this conversation with Steve McIntosh, a leading developmental philosopher focusing on the evolution of consciousness and culture. Steve is the author of Developmental Politics, The Presence of the Infinite, Evolution's Purpose and Integral Consciousness and the Future of Evolution. He is co-founder of the Institute for Cultural Evolution.With Steve's help we trace the major forces that shaped human history and culture, from the Renaissance and Enlightenment, through the fuller development of the Modern era, to Postmodern culture, and into today's search for a new truth. We view the past with a new understanding that these are not fixed periods of history, but a form of living consciousness that evolves inside us.As the first Enlightenment opened up our understanding of the external universe, the new worldview that has been emerging promises to illuminate the interior universe of consciousness and connection. We actively contribute to the evolutionary process when we bring to life the universal values of truth, beauty and goodness.  Many more enlivening insights and profound understandings emerge in the conversation.This conversation is part of the continuing Portals discovery into what is emerging on the frontiers of human experience in this time of profound change.

It's not just this quest for the good life, it's also the quest to know what's true, and the quest to make our circumstances more beautiful. More beautiful architecture, more beautiful homes, more beautiful bodies. Those are all ways that we're lured to make things better. And so understanding that as an attractive force, or a kind of gravity, on consciousness, that the evolutionary impulse that our sense is responding to - that begins to illuminate what it is that we're trying to define and understand better.” (Steve)“The greatest human purpose, at least while we're in this world, is to contribute to the evolution of the noosphere because, by doing so, we're contributing to the purpose of the larger universe as a whole. And so just being able to land that truth can really help people appreciate how science and spirituality are pointing to the same thing, properly interpreted, that I think can go a long way toward helping to plant the seeds for this next emergent worldview.” (Steve) RESOURCES MENTIONED Portals of Perception WebsiteAviv's LinkedIn Aviv's TwitterAviv's WebsiteEvolution, Consciousness, and the New Truth with Steve McIntosh

In this sermon, we explore the reality that Christians are called to bear one another's burdens in such a way that we are participating in one another's sanctification.As disciples of Jesus who are filled with the Spirit, Christians are called to bear one another's burdens. But what exactly does that mean? And why, a few verses later, does Scripture exhort us that "each will have to bear his own load" (Galatians 6:5)? Series Description: Clericalism & Consumerism are two ever-present dangers for the church. Clericalism over-emphasizes the role of priests, bishops, and pastors, leaving ministry to “the professionals.” Consumerism causes us to relate to the church as a vendor of goods & services. To counteract these tendencies, we need to understand the biblical doctrine of the priesthood of all believers.

In this sermon, we explore what it looks like to live out the call to "welcome one another as Christ has welcomed you."Throughout his ministry, Jesus Christ welcomed both outsiders and insiders, both the tax collector and the religious scribe. His ministry broke down social, political, and economic barriers. And because Jesus is our Great High Priest, his followers, who have received the welcome of Christ, are called to embody the same welcome and hospitality. Preaching Series Summary: Clericalism & Consumerism are two ever-present dangers for the church. Clericalism over-emphasizes the role of priests, bishops, and pastors, leaving ministry to “the professionals.” Consumerism causes us to relate to the church as a vendor of goods & services. To counteract these tendencies, we need to understand the biblical doctrine of the priesthood of all believers.

Whose responsibility is it to teach in the local church? Because Jesus is our great high priest, all Christians are called to "teach and admonish one another" (Colossians 3:16). In this sermon, we explore what it looks like to live out this command in the ordinary life of a local church community.

In the Middle Ages, the Roman Catholic Church mandated that Christians to confess their sins to a priest. But since Jesus is our great high priest, Christians actually have the freedom and responsibility to "Confess your sins to one another" (James 5:16). What if we actually did that? In this sermon, we explore how the grace of Jesus empowers us to confess our sins to one another and pray for one another.

Christ is risen! Sin and death have been defeated, and all those who trust in Christ receive eternal life. But what does that mean, exactly? In this Easter 2025 sermon, we look at John 3:16—perhaps the most familiar verse in the Bible—to explore the love of God, the grace of God, and the path to life.

Everyone seems to take jury service lightly and try to get out of it. But what are biblical reasons why Christians should want to and in fact serve on a jury?

In the final chapter of Daniel, God reveals his purposes for the end of history. So how ought we to live in light of the end? The answer might surprise you. God instructs Daniel to "go your way." The details about the end of time aren't ours to know. Instead, we ought to live our lives to please God, know God, and see God.(0:00) Scripture Reading: Daniel 12(3:18) The End of the World(12:20) Just Live Life(17:00) Live to Please God (Ethics)(21:27) Live to Know God (Wisdom)(25:38) Live to See God (Worship)

In many ways, opening the Bible is like entering a strange new world. Daniel 11 is no different, as Daniel receives a vision of future events concerning two kingdoms. But what is the significance? In this sermon, we see that God's word is true, good, and beautiful.

In my first two episodes I laid out geographically-oriented motivations for Crusading. This week we explore the religious motives of Crusaders. What were they offered by the papacy in return for joining a crusade? Was every Crusader on a journey of religious gain? Were Crusaders motivated either by their own poverty or a desire to evangelize pagans? Who was more likely to join a crusade, younger or elder brothers? Why? To develop our understanding of Medieval Catholic piety I explain and explore the Catholic practice of granting indulgences. I also warn us of running history through a sieve of chronological snobbery. Moreover, I address, yet again, the Postmodern interpretation of the Crusades and explain why that take is really just a cudgel to shame and silence Christians. In the show's opening theological reflection I ask, "what is faith?" To answer that I unpack the perspective of famed (by tormented) Russian author, Fyodor Dostoevsky, who famously once wrote, "beauty will save the world." I find both his insights about human nature and the nature of faith to be both helpful and true.
