Listen
to the Gathering
Every great story starts with hope, but that won't get us through to the end -we have to have something else, something critical, something that will push us through each day and pull us into the future.
This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we continued to look at the power of stories and a crucial element we all need for our lives to be a great one!
The band performed songs by Jon Legend, Sara Bareilles, The Avett Brothers, and Jose Gonzalez.
Jesus told stories all the time, because he knows how much they can impact us. But are we aware of how many stories we are already living in? Part of the invitation of Jesus is to choose the story we want to live in and live out. This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering we considered all of the stories that swirl around and God's story of Grace as an alternative.
The band performed songs by Brandi Carlile, Muna, Maverick City and more.
Everyone loves a great story. But why? This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we explored this question as we continued our series on the power of stories.
The band performed songs by Harry Styles, Rob Thomas, Natasha Bedingfield, and more.
In our Easter Sunday Gathering, we discovered that it is just the beginning of the story. This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we began a new series on the power of stories and what makes for a great one.
The band performed songs by Wilco, Brandi Carlile, Kodaline and more.
Have you ever thought about what happened on Good Friday, and how we can call it "good?" It is only because of what happened on Easter Sunday.
That changed how we think of good, for forever. And that is what we considered together, at Storyline's Gathering, this past Sunday.
The band performed songs by Adele, Lauren Daigle, Maren Morris, and Dawes.
They say first impressions can last a lifetime. Did you know that Jesus actually orchestrated his own first impression? And it was, well, mysterious to say the least.
This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we considered what impression Jesus was trying to give us on Palm Sunday.
The band performed songs by Radiohead, David Ramirez,
The War on Drugs, and Michael Kiwanuka.
This past week, at the Gathering, we celebrated those who have made a difference in our lives and our community. We are surrounded by so many inspiring stories of people extending love and grace into the world, often without even realizing it.
Mike Koch and the band shared songs by Bruce Coburn and others.
We've been in a season of Gatherings, all about how Love Matters Most. This past Sunday, we continued with that theme as we considered how God wants to unleash His love into the world.
The band performed songs by Billie Eilish, Khalid, Michael Kiwanuka, and more.
“Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.”
It's a nice thought... beauty is a matter of perspective. But whose perspective are we meant to value? Our own? Our families? Our peers?
This past week, at the Gathering, we explored the concept of beauty and which beholder may offer the best perspective.
The band shared songs by Broken Bells, Tom Odell, The Beach Boys, and Death Cab for Cutie.
We all want to be good, virtuous, even heroic. But most of the time, we feel less like the hero of the story, and more like a victim... or villain.
This past week, at the Gathering, we explored why the Bible includes stories of real people who did both wonderful and terrible things, and why embracing the "true story" of our humanity is how we can find true belonging.
The band performed songs from The Head & The Heart, The Killers, and The Civil Wars.
What is the most valuable part of our life? Is it our family? Our faith? Our money? What is the one thing about this life that we can't live without?
We explored these questions, this past week, at the Gathering and wondered together what pieces of this life hold the highest value.
The band shared songs from Kings of Leon, John Mayer, Will Reagan, and more.
The best part and the hardest part of life is relationships. We all know this and yet it doesn't make it any easier.
The Bible introduces a revolutionary kind of relationship into the world and invites us to live it out. This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we once again considered covenant relationships and marriage in particular as a gift of grace from God.
The band performed songs by Adele, The Beatles, Bette Midler, and Susan Tedschehi.
Love, love, love. Is there a day that goes by when we don't hear about love? But what is it? Defining it is so difficult, understanding it is elusive, God actually invented something to show us what love looks like.
This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we began to explore God's invention and how we might grow more and more - in Love.
The band performed songs by John Legend, The Eagles, Damien Rice, Meghan Trainor, and more.
Have you ever woken up to a flat tire waiting for you in the driveway and asked,
“God, what did I do to deserve this?“
Yeah... me too.
This past week at the Gathering, we explored the kind of relationship God has with his creation and wondered together: “If love matters most, why doesn't it feel that way?”
Mike Koch and the band played songs by Coldplay, Lady Gaga, Joel Houston, and more.
It is a great question, an important one, a difficult one; what matters most in life? Jesus rarely answered questions, but this one - he did. This past Sunday, at Storyline's Gathering, we continued our new series, Love Matters Most.
The band performed songs by James Bay, Sara Bareilles, Wild Rivers, and more.
