Becoming a Community of Belonging | Sabbath

The gift of sabbath rest is a call to be refreshed even in the midst of busyness.  But, more than that, it's a letting go and realizing God is really the one who is in control.

Becoming a Community of Belonging | Fasting

Fasting isn't a practice that often gets talked about.  But it's something that Jesus and the early church practiced.  Knowing the heart behind the practice teaches us what it looks like to pursue God's Kingdom of God with our whole person.

Becoming a Community of Belonging | Prayer

Jesus gave us a simple, easily accessible framework for us as he explained the process of prayer.  But we have a tendency to make it complicated.

Becoming a Community of Belonging | Role of Scripture

Scripture is one of the primary functions in our lives as we are formed into the a community that looks like Jesus.  But so many of us have never seen it as it was meant to be.

Becoming a Community of Belonging | Serving Community

We are often overwhelmed by the needs around us and then we feel guilty for not serving more.  But that's the wrong mentality to have.  Instead we should be looking towards what brings joy to us and share that joy through acts of love towards others.

Becoming a Community of Belonging | Transformed Community

It is our hearts that must be shaped if we are to be transformed into someone who looks like Jesus.  This is the goal of the Christian life, to be formed into the likeness of Jesus.  It is in community that we are formed and it is for the community that we are being transformed.

Foundations of Belonging | Belonging through Reconciliation

It was because of Jesus' coming that we were reconciled us to God and were brought back to the place of belonging we were made for.

Belonging | Peace with Ourselves

The hardest context in which to be at peace is with ourselves.  Until we are restored to our intended purpose then we will always be restlessly searching for our identity, our meaning, and our purpose.

Belonging | Belonging with Eachother

We are made to live in community, to be known and loved.  It's a tough sell when our individualism takes over.
