Hope in Heaven: Seek the Kingdom, Live the Kingdom
Manage episode 427012256 series 3461445
When we look at the world around us, there is so much death. So many default ways of being and living that bring about harm, emptiness, something other than freedom. We see it in our individual lives, and we see it in the oppressive systems and structures all around us. And yet, Jesus invites us to live with our minds and hearts set on a different Way, a Way from above that is life and peace and freedom. How do we walk out this tension, as Jesus people in a decaying world? Paul’s ancient letter to the Colossians invites us to put on this Kingdom way not as individuals, but as a corporate body - in transforming, humbling, radical unity with one another. This Sunday, Tina will be walking us through Jesus’s invitation for us to be made new in Christ, formed in the Way of the Kingdom of God in & through Christian community.
- Series Description -
Stories are so important to our culture. Whether it’s the story of our country or our family or even our favorite novel, stories have the power to ground us, inspire us, and give us hope. This summer, we’ll be studying the letter to the Colossians that hones in on a really important story for all of humanity: the Gospel (or good news) of Jesus. This Gospel story isn’t only in the Bible. It’s happening. Paul says it’s even connected to hope laid up in heaven for us. Need some more hope this summer? Come and get your fill from a story you can join.
