Is technology good or bad? Should Jesus followers have smartphones and social media? Should we create A.I. or upload our brains to the cloud?
Let’s jump into this nuance series with the drug everyones already on: Technology.
Following the podcast is the “Speakers Corner” where people from the Sunday gathering “added their nuance” to this weeks topic. Give it a listen and then carry on the conversation!

Lamb vs. Beasts
Revelation is a weird and wild book, filled with larger than life imagery. Unfortunately it's also been wildly misunderstood. What is the Revelation of John actually about, and what does he want us to see?

The very sad video we made about the events in this sermon:
Who Sat at the Table
When Eucharist started we knew that the table was going to be core to our identity: we would eat together at potlucks, love feasts, and the Lord's Supper. We would set an open seat and welcome whoever God brought to us.
What we didn't see coming was how difficult that would make things...

Not Peace, But a Sword (and Other Uncomfortable Things Jesus Said)
File this one under "things we can't believe Jesus actually said." What does it mean to bring a sword to the world? Why is Jesus suddenly against peace? And of course, the most important question: would you be a Nazi in 1940's Germany?

Stories from Sri Lanka & Playful Jesus

The Shepherd, The Gate, & The Way
Leanne reflects on what sets the voice of Christ apart from the others we hear every day. Why is Christ a "Shepherd"? What is the good life? Goodlife fitness? Thrift store Jackson Pollock finds? The way of Jesus is rarely easy, and can even seem illogical, but it is the most beautiful of ways...
JESUS!
Steve Edwards digs through the complexity, the simplicity, and the impact of the resurrection on this Easter Sunday, 2017. Holy Algebra! He is risen!

Pondering the Paradox - "Jesus Christ, His Only Son, Our Lord"
John 1, Philippians 2
October 9 2016
Here's where things start getting really unique: was Jesus just a good moral teacher and prophet, or was he something more?
The early Christians made the largest claim possible about Jesus: that he showed us GOD.
Also, his name wasn't really Jesus...
