It's natural to want to hide from storms, but when God sends them, sometimes hiding is worse than the storm.

Learning from Storms: Mission of the Family of God

Anyone who reads of the life of Jesus can see he served tirelessly, yet he never burned out. How is that possible? What can we learn from him?

A Disciple Does...Service

Our desires have the capacity to create a world of delight or of pain. Sadly, we often live our lives out of touch with our desires. The wisdom of God leads us to redeem our desires.

A World of Desire

Who do we consider our family? Do we play favorites on who is and is not our family? Jesus calls us to love others that may not fit our category of family. By showing love to others, we share the love that Jesus has shown us.

Family Ties: Jesus talks Family

Pastor Andrew Russell delved into the humanity of Jesus Christ. We might think that Jesus had an unfair advantage, but in Christ's humanity, he had to depend on the Holy Spirit. And we do too!

Living: In Spirit: He Became Like Us

Have you ever tried to learn something? It's not easy. Spiritual growth is no different. Did Jesus know what this is like?

Growing: Wisdom and Faith: He Became Like Us

Every human being is made in the image of God and for this reason everyone has individual dignity and worth.  An individual's dignity and worth is not rooted in anything outside of being God's image bearer.

Image, Identity, and Welcome in Christ: The Welcoming Church

Pastor Mike Park challenges us about considering our words and taming the tongue from James chapter 3. The scripture is read both in Cantonese and English.

Redeeming Words

Dr. Musgrove spoke on his book Chocolate City: the History of Race and Democracy in the Nation’s Capital. He explained how he believes that ever since the Washington, DC was built on tobacco plantations and up until the present day, DC has always been a chocolate city, ie.  bursting with black people, black culture, and black political power. He further describes how churches have played crucial roles in the city's cultural development and flourishing. He invites us to listen and learn more about the roots of the city we call home.

Chocolate City Talk

Many churches refer to their ministry to the poor, widow, orphan, and immigrant as "mercy ministry". The Bible more often refers to these as "justice" ministry. Are we missing something?

A Disciple Does...Justice

God delights to give his good news to the unexpected. And he does his best work in unexpected times. Jesus is an unexpected King but he's king nonetheless.

Unexpected: Stooping So Low

Mercy is God's tender compassion to those in need.  The parable of the Good Samaritan explores the implications of mercy.

A Disciple Does...Mercy

Wisdom is the power to see, and the inclination to choose, the best and highest goal, together with the surest means of attaining it. Wisdom is, in fact, the practical side of moral goodness. As such, it is found in its fullness only in God. He alone is naturally and entirely and invariable wise. J.I. Packer

The Heart of Wisdom: Wisdom for Today

Pastor Glenn Hoburg talks about Election Year Unity - Ephesians 4:1-6.Taking into account both where we live, DC [where passions run high], and our "state" in Christ (oneness--which calls for empathy, charity) throughout the election year process.

Recalling Your State: Election Year Recall

Our life's focus should be consumed with God's beauty.

The Beauty of God: Psalms for Every Season

When you consider all the damage anger has wrought in our world--genocide, murder, assault, slander, verbal abuse--we must ask: can anything good come of anger?  However, there is an alternative: righteous anger. It is the anger we see in Jesus Christ.

Feeling: Anger: He Became Like Us

In the business world, there's a lot of concern about the gap between what people say and do. James has a similar concern about our spiritual lives. And it amounts to the difference between useless faith and useful faith.

Useful Faith

The advent season teaches us many things and one of those things is this: God does not abandon us. God is with us and advent grace is for the confused, broken, and even for the sinner.

God with the Disgraced: Stooping So Low

All who have come to accept Jesus as Lord and Savior are bound for a eternal destiny of beauty. These children of God will be robed in beautiful garments and living in a beautiful city and God will be with them. Though the world is harsh and ugly at times, the children of God have the capacity to look beyond the ugliness and wait patiently for the beauty that will be revealed.
