Humans are all beauty-seeking creatures. We love sunsets, delicious foods, the smell of spring flowers and so much more. But what is true beauty? Listen today to a well-known parable of Jesus, where He unveils for us the pursuing love of the Father.
True Spirituality: Rest and the Cross (Matthew 13:31-32)
We are a tired and weary generation, burned-out from overwork and unrealized rest. We long universally for rest today. But what can truly bring what we long for most? Listen in today to a classic parable of Jesus about a tiny seed that grows, and for a surprising answer to what our soul longs for.
True Spirituality: Community and the Cross (Matthew 13:24-30)
We live in what has been called "the lonely generation." Therefore, so many of us are longing for true community and a real experience of "life together" (as Dietrich Bonhoeffer so famously called it). Listen in this morning as we discover together what true community was always meant to be like, how it went wrong, and how the cross of Jesus Christ forms what our soul has always longed for - the true community, the church of Jesus Christ.
True Spirituality: Silence and the Cross (Matthew 13:10-17)
In a noisy world, we all are beginning to realize the profound place that silence should play in our lives. We need quiet, reflective moments to sustain us. But what is true silence? What does God want to teach about our longing for silence? Listen in today as we learn from Jesus the purpose of parables, and discover the true "sound of silence" that leads to a deep prayer life with the Living God who hears.
