"Jerusalem, Jerusalem" by Dave Sim || Luke 13:31-35 || 03.16.2025

Christ is Risen.  And Jesus is real! Jesus reveals himself to his disciples, showing them his hands and feet. Though they continue to doubt, Jesus asks for something to eat and shares a meal with them. He then charges them to be his witnesses. What has Jesus done in your life? When do you doubt this? Continue to share the Good News of What Jesus is doing!

John 17:13-21 NRSV

3 But now I am coming to you, and I speak these things in the world so that they may have my joy made complete in themselves. 14 I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. 15 I am not asking you to take them out of the world, but I ask you to protect them from the evil one. 16 They do not belong to the world, just as I do not belong to the world. 17 Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18 As you have sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19 And for their sakes I sanctify myself, so that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20 “I ask not only on behalf of these but also on behalf of those who believe in me through their word, 21 that they may all be one. As you, Father, are in me and I am in you, may they also be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me.

"Oaks of Righteousness" || Dave Sim || Isaiah 61:1-4 || 05.11.2025

Jesus' teachings in Matthew 5:38-48 are a powerful example of subversive non-violence. In this passage, Jesus challenges the traditional "eye for an eye" principle and instead calls for radical love, non-retaliation, and enemy love. He instructs his followers to turn the other cheek, give more than what is demanded, and go the extra mile—all actions that disrupt cycles of violence without resorting to aggression

"Creative Resistance" || Dave Sim || Matthew 5:38-48 || 05.18.2025

Jesus continues to press into the “heart” of matters–that faith begins from the inside out.  Jesus warns against performing righteous acts for public recognition and instead encourages sincere, private generosity that seeks God's approval rather than human praise.

"Covert Faith" || Dave Sim || Matthew 6:1-4; 16-18 || 05.25.2025

"Prayer" || Tim Hsieh || Matthew 6:5-15 || 06.01.2025

Jesus teaches about trusting God instead of worrying. He urges His followers not to be anxious about their basic needs—food, drink, and clothing—because God, who cares for the birds and flowers, will surely provide for His people as well.

"Worry" || Dave Sim || Matthew 6:25-34 || 06.15.2025

Jesus delivers a strong warning against judgment and hypocrisy. He  commands, "Do not judge, or you too will be judged," urging us to approach others with humility rather than condemnation, challenging us to engage in honest self-reflection before correcting others.
