Kidnapped, enslaved, and forgotten—until God spoke in a dream. The story of Patrick isn’t just history; it’s an invitation. What happens when we say yes to God, even when it leads us back to the places we’d rather avoid?
It seems that we think that if we’re going to be good Christians, we have to be as serious as possible. If I make the right worship “stank-face” I’m getting closer to God right? The more serious and desperate I look the more present he is, yes? Try telling that to David who was so…
With another winter season of the JXN Cloud comes our 2nd annual Yule log! In this exciting video, we silently drink hot chocolate. There has truly never been a more action-packed Yule log to put on in the background of your house. What a time to be alive!
Paul did not want the Gentiles to become Jewish, which is why he was so vocally against the Gentiles being circumcised and following the same Jewish laws and customs that he did. To force them to do such things would be to pervert the gospel, since the whole point of the gospel was for God’s…
In this message, we take a journey throughout the theme of priesthood and sacred space, and then we hone in on how the coming messiah was an instillation of hope into these themes.

In my first few months of pastoring, I decided I was going to preach on the topic of joy. Our newly relaunched church was that of two churches becoming one and this brought with it some awkwardness and confusion. We had to figure out who we were and what pieces of each church would continue…
Today we often act as though priests and pastors are the ones who need to usher us into sacred space to meet with God, but the Bible calls Christians a “royal priesthood.” That’s a huge statement, given that priests in the Bible were meditators between God and humanity. In this episode we give a condensed…
Since the pandemic hit, everyone has lost something. Join us for our Grieving Service at 1208 Greenwood Church on Wednesday, December 8th from 6:30-7:30pm, where we’ll bring our pain before God as a community.
In Revelation 1:5, John pulls from Psalm 89 to bestow three different titles upon Jesus. In the third title, John refers to Jesus as, “the ruler of the kings of earth.” But the kings of this earth don’t really seem to be operating as though they’re under Jesus’ rulership. So what does John mean when…
In Revelation 1:5, John pulls from Psalm 89 to bestow three different titles upon Jesus. The second title of, “the firstborn of the dead,” sounds a bit trippy the first time you hear it. What is John communicating in this statement? Weren’t there others in the Bible raised back to life before Jesus was? Join…
