This Sunday morning Mike Gathright discussed the possibility of living with relentless joy.
THE WAITING
We’ve all heard the verse before. In fact, Mike shared it with us just last week.
“For God loved the world, he gave his only son, and whosoever believes in him shall not perish, but have everlasting life.”
It’s an incredible picture, right? But what does it actually mean? Is it truly as simple as Mike made it seem last week, or is there something else happening here. Paul Knapp will dove just a bit deeper into this verse and the “Good News” that comes with it.
STOP, TRUST, JUMP THEN FALL
Who has had it? If you just raised your hand and screamed, "Me!" you're not alone...even though you might be by yourself.
Mike Gathright considered this question: "Where do we find comfort, how do we have hope in the midst of all this?
PANDEMIC OF GRACE
Did you know that viruses have been on the planet for 1.5 billion years longer than humans?
What can the church learn from the way viruses spread and thrive? This is the question Jill McNabnay considered this Sunday in our StoryONline Gathering.
BEING RIGHT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH - Part 2
There is a lot going on right now; tensions are high, tempers are short. You can not turn on the TV without people yelling at each other. It seems like we are exasperated with, well everything, not to mention one another.
Mike Gathright explored how shifting what we're centered on might change that dynamic and open us up to new possibilities.
BEING RIGHT ISN'T GOOD ENOUGH - Part 1
The bible can be mysterious and difficult to understand - sometimes - in other places, God makes things pretty clear.
Mike Gathright looked at a few passages in the bible that makes how God feels about a certain subject anything but mysterious.
GOD GETS JUSTICE, WE GET GRACE
Justice is a great good. It is also elusive. What if part of what makes this great good so difficult to establish is...we actually have to aim higher?
This Sunday, Mike Gathright looked at what is even better and more necessary than justice.
SYSTEMIC GRACE
This Sunday we took a hard look at what is happening in our country, what the bible has to say about systemic good and evil and how God wants to work through us to see His will done on earth as it is in heaven.
BACK TO THE START
What is something so readily available ANYone could have it, yet so absolutely necessary, EVERYone must have it?
This Sunday during Storyline's online Gathering Mike Gathright closed this month of unlikely heroes by considering this question and Jesus's really shocking answer.
DO YOU LOVE ME?
What happens when things are going great? When our nets are full of fish? This Sunday, Mike Gathright explored how Jesus helped Peter navigate the next steps forward and his unlikely story.
MY NET, HIS SIDE
Real-life, as we know all too well, is full of the unlikely...situations, events, obstacles, and opportunities we didn't see coming.
This Sunday Mike Gathright continued our survey of unlikely heroes, and at least one battle they all have to fight.
LET WONDER TAKE OVER
So... when we’ve watched all of the “Netflix,” what do we do next? Is there something else for us? Do we just move onto Hulu? Or is there more? Please tell me there is! Please tell me that somebody somewhere has another story worth telling…Maybe one that I could be a part of!
In this week’s online gathering, Paul Knapp took a deep dive into the stories that shape us and heroes that embody them.
Meagan Francis Reflection
THE VOICE
"What are we supposed to do?" - there's a question that never seems to go away. Sometimes it just means, "what now?" but, other times it is a much bigger,
life-sized, question.
Mike Gathright looked at how Jesus figured out and then lived out what he was supposed to do.
Maybe the world needs that from us as much as we need it for ourselves?
