Listen
to the Gathering
This past Sunday, we wrapped up our series on the Beattitudes (the beginning of the beginning of Jesus’ first sermon). How did Jesus wrap up this list? We looked at his most controversial statements about persecution and joy.
It seems obvious which one you should avoid and which we want more of. But, like so many of the Beatitudes... there is always a surprise!
The band performed songs by The Beatles, R E M, Noah Gunderson, and Drew & Ellie Holcomb.
There is a lot that our current world lacks, but peace may be at the top of that list. Jesus held it in such high regard that he actually said, peacemakers will be called children of God. This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, we wondered together what He meant by that.
The band performed songs by The Eagles, Bruce Hornsby, Rob Thomas, and Sara Bareilles.
We've been exploring the first public words of Jesus over the past few months to consider what He invites us into. Recently at Storyline's Gathering, we continued looking at the Beatitudes and what Jesus suggests about how we see God.
The band performed songs by U2, Michael Kiwanuka, Wilderado, and more.
What if what we need most will always somehow escape us if we are not willing to share it? This past Sunday, we explored the Beatitudes of Jesus, where He suggests just this.
The band performed songs by Shaboozey, The Avett Brothers, TAYA, and more.
We have spent the past few weeks diving deeper into Jesus's promise of hungering and thirsting for righteousness. This past Gathering, we wrapped up our series within a series on consumerism by looking at the temptation that advertising offers regarding our personal happiness.
The band performed songs by Fleetwood Mac, The Rolling Stones, Maggie Rogers, and The Turtles.
Do you ever get the feeling there is something bigger happening around you, but can’t quite figure out where you fit? Have you ever felt like somehow, someway we’re missing purpose or meaning? Have you ever wondered if there is something more you could do? This past week, we explored an old story about two brothers and wondered together about what role we play in the bigger story happening all around us.
Mike Koch and the band played songs by Coldplay, Ethel Cain, John Mayer, and more.
This past Sunday, 120 million people tuned in to watch The Big Game, with 51 million of them rooting for the commercials.
During our past Gathering, fellow Storyliners shared parts of their stories in conjunction with some of the most creative and inspiring commercials ever produced.
In the week prior at Storyline's Gathering, we looked at the fourth Beatitude in Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied." This past week, we dove deeper into that promise and explored how the things modern life tempts us with hungering and thirsting for can influence the life of faith.
The band performed songs by City & Colour, Jewel, Broken Bells, and Leanna Crawford.
Last week, we explored Jesus' first public address, The Beatitudes, and how they resonate with his first recorded private words.
The band performed songs by Adele, Alicia Keys, U2, Harry Styles, and more.
Most of the revolutionary leaders of history were counter-cultural. They fixed something most people knew was wrong. Jesus did something very different, and nothing illustrated that more than what was explored at Storyline's Gathering.
The band performed songs by Phil Collins, Carly Simon, Ben Rector, and May Erlewine.
Jesus said a lot of things that didn't seem to make sense. This week, we looked at one of the most confusing... that becomes an absolute beauty when we realize what He was inviting us into.
The band performed songs by Bruce Springsteen, Stephen Wilson Jr., David Ramirez, and more.
How we start something often determines our trajectory moving forward. Jesus seemed to be thinking about this as he began his public ministry. This past Sunday, we considered how Jesus started and what it means for us.
The band performed songs by Adele, Florence and The Machine, and more.
Christmas promises one thing over and above everything else. What is it? Why did we need it? What was it for? These are the questions we explored together at Storyline's Gathering.
The band performed songs by The Eagles, U2, Kacey Musgraves, Sia, Lauren Daigle, and more.
Many times receiving a gift is much more difficult than giving one. This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, they considered the gift of Christmas and how to receive it.
The children sang some Christmas carols, and the band performed songs by Leon Bridges, Joan Osborne, and Aundrey Assad.
It's officially the Christmas season!
This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, they explored why Christmas is the season of hope and what that could mean for our everyday lives.
The band performed songs by Bob Dylan, Pink, James Bay, and more.
