We are a community seeking to find God in the everywhere, everyperson, everytime. Jesus was in Rythym with God's movement of creativity, redemption, sabbath. Ultimately we move toward life abundant.
Lenten Sermon Series 2010
John 10:10 “I have come that you might have life and have it abundantly.”
“The Greek word John uses for ‘eternal life’ literally means ‘life of the ages,’ as opposed, I think we could say, to ‘life as people are living it these days.’ So John’s related phrases—eternal life, life to the full, and simply life—give us a unique angle on what Jesus meant by ‘kingdom of God’: a life that is radically different from the way people are living these days, a life that is full and overflowing, a higher life that is centered in an interactive relationship with God and with Jesus. Let’s render it simply ‘an extraordinary life to the full, centered in a relationship with God.’” Brian McLaren, The Hidden Message of Jesus
Destination: Life invites participants to discover God’s redeeming presence in our everyday human experiences – in our families, at school or work, caring for others, times of play, in the midst of suffering and – even – in the church!
