We are all spiritually hungry. How can you satisfy that hunger?
In this week’s study of Jesus’ beatitudes, we take a look at another paradox: being hungry/thirsty while being satisfied at the same time. Pastor John reveals how this spiritual hunger and thirst for righteousness can bring humility and longing for a closeness with God. You’ll hear about how many different coffee combinations you can order at Starbucks, one of John Calvin’s greatest insights, and how we hide our spiritual hunger.

Kingdom Manifesto #3: Blessed are the Meek
Sunday Sep 27, 2020
Sunday Sep 27, 2020
The kingdom of God often feels upside-down and backwards from the way the world works, especially when it claims that the meek are blessed.
Continuing our series on the beatitudes, we look at how radically different the kingdom of God's values are from those of society. Pastor John takes a look at Jesus' claim that "the meek shall inherit the earth". Does this mean we should be weak and timid...or something else?
You'll hear a story about a strange bike race, how our culture is often confused about humility, and how John Perkins models meekness.

Will you use your voice? God calls us to speak up in the face of injustice.
In our final sermon on the Skill Sets and Wisdom, we look at Proverbs 31. The passage urges us to use our voices for the marginalized and needy, even when it can be easy to look the other way. Pastor John shows us how relevant this passage is today, and how our voice is often co-opted by politcal partisanship. What injustices should we be standing against? Who needs our protection?
