  • November 3, 2024: Asking Questions About Asking Questions - Jonathan Merritt
    2024/11/05

    In this week’s teaching with Jonathan Merritt, we explore some of the subversive speech and action of Jesus and how these tactics are at work in our own relationship with God today.

    One of the best ways to respond to a difficult question is with a better one. This is one of those instances where Jesus performs one of his signature Jedi mind tricks – a classic bait and switch. Jesus is responding to an insincere question from some of his enemies who are only trying to trap and condemn him.

    But Jesus is not just reversing the dialogue back on his critics in order to simply expose and embarrass them, he is artfully changing the conversation. Jesus always takes what we offer on the surface, our good and bad intentions alike, and draws out and reveals our deepest desires and hiddenness. He takes our small ideas and points to the Big Idea behind it… One might call this subversive…

  • October 27, 2024: Who is Your King? - Hannah Thom
    2024/10/27

    Just like the many who welcomed Jesus as King, so we welcome Jesus into our world, often forgetting he wants to welcome us into his. When will we give up on our way of doing things and remember, we cling to the hope that it has all been done!

    “Behold, I make all things new …” This is the promise that we cling to, uttered from the mouth of God. The question is will our life be found in Jesus? You see there are two realities we can cling to. The reality of God – that is happening right here and right now. One that transcends being proven and can only be trusted. Or we can default to the reality we can create.

    And honestly, when we look at our world we have to ask, how well has humanity done in creating our reality? Our new world? This was what was at stake during the triumphal entry on Palm Sunday. Some wanted Jesus to be this or that – they made him in their image to suit their vision of the world. They trusted in themselves. Yet Jesus came to invite others to trust in the world he has created and sustained.

  • October 20, 2024: Hiding Out in the House - Maggie Knight
    2024/10/22

    Jesus goes wild in the temple. But given its sheer size, this was likely nothing more than a small skirmish off the side of the larger area. One that many barely noticed. And when he was done with his outburst, those buying and selling and exchanging money likely righted their booths and tables and kept on doing their thing.

    What can get lost in all of this is the only words Jesus spoke, but they were not his words. They were the words of the prophet Jeremiah. In a tactic often employed by rabbis, Jesus quotes part of a verse as a reference to the larger context. Here, he quotes from Jeremiah 7 which is a full scale condemnation of those who practice evil, and still claim to worship God. It seems this is the one thing Jesus cannot tolerate is hypocrisy. Of course, we all do it, it’s just whether we are willing to admit it.
