Finding Grace in Leviticus

Sometimes it is very difficult to see the good, the benefit, the grace in the rules.  We don't like 'em!  But God sees it another way. Why? The answer might surprise you. 

This is what we considered, this past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering.  

The band performed songs by Johnny Cash, Dawes, Don Henley and more.

Finding the Grace of God

The world is pretty crazy right now, and it can be hard to find the grace of God in it some days. Fortunately, the bible is a deep and rich source for finding the grace of God in the most unexpected places.  

This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we began our new series for this summer, "Finding the Grace of God in the Bible."  

The band performed songs by Katy Perry, Brandi Carlile and Lauren Daigle.

What’s Next?

Congratulations to the graduating class of 2024!! 

Graduating from high school is no small task, and we are so proud of our 2024 graduates. The moment of graduation is full of excitement, but it is also a gateway into a very daunting unknown. 

“What is going to happen next?” 

This past week, at the Gathering, we contemplated this question together and wondered what might be coming for all of us. 

The band performed songs by Gnarles Barkly, Leonard Cohen, John Mayer, and TAYA.

Wisdom

Stories have the power to shape our lives in many ways, which is why it's so critical for us to choose our stories wisely.

This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we continued to look at one of the elements that make great stories, and the impact this has on our lives.

The band performed songs by Bob Dylan, Taylor Swift, Jackson Browne, and Aimee Mann.

Meaning

Every great story starts with hope, but that won't get us through to the end -we have to have something else, something critical, something that will push us through each day and pull us into the future.

This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we continued to look at the power of stories and a crucial element we all need for our lives to be a great one!

The band performed songs by Jon Legend, Sara Bareilles, The Avett Brothers, and Jose Gonzalez.

What’s in a Name?

Jesus told stories all the time, because he knows how much they can impact us.  But are we aware of how many stories we are already living in?  Part of the invitation of Jesus is to choose the story we want to live in and live out.  This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering we considered all of the stories that swirl around and God's story of Grace as an alternative. 

The band performed songs by Brandi Carlile, Muna, Maverick City and more.

Living Hope

In our Easter Sunday Gathering, we discovered that it is just the beginning of the story.  This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we began a new series on the power of stories and what makes for a great one.

The band performed songs by Wilco, Brandi Carlile, Kodaline and more.

Easter Sunday

Have you ever thought about what happened on Good Friday, and how we can call it "good?"  It is only because of what happened on Easter Sunday.  

That changed how we think of good, for forever.  And that is what we considered together, at Storyline's Gathering, this past Sunday.  

The band performed songs by Adele, Lauren Daigle, Maren Morris, and Dawes.

First Impression

They say first impressions can last a lifetime.  Did you know that Jesus actually orchestrated his own first impression?  And it was, well, mysterious to say the least.  

This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we considered what impression Jesus was trying to give us on Palm Sunday. 

The band performed songs by Radiohead, David Ramirez,

The War on Drugs, and Michael Kiwanuka.

Saints Among Us

This past week, at the Gathering, we celebrated those who have made a difference in our lives and our community. We are surrounded by so many inspiring stories of people extending love and grace into the world, often without even realizing it.

Mike Koch and the band shared songs by Bruce Coburn and others.
