to the Gathering

So much of life's complexity does not exist in the answer to "what"...what do we want, what do we want to avoid, what are we after? "What" is what religion is all about. But Jesus and His Way are different. He insists the secret to life is not in "what"—it is in "how." How do we get what we want? How do we avoid what entraps us? How do we find what we're after?
This past Sunday, we considered one of Jesus's stories that lays out the HOW of life.
The band performed songs by Sam Bush, Ken Yates, and more.

This past Gathering, we explored how loving ourselves matters in the bigger picture of our participation in God's invitation of love.

How do we move forward? Move on? Grow? Change? These are constant themes and questions in our real life. Often, we look to God for the strength to help us do what we need to do. But Jesus had another plan entirely.
At this past Gathering, we considered the surprising story Jesus told to set us on the path to flourishing.
The band performed songs by The Beatles, Tom Petty, Eminem, and more.
Jesus had a way of saying so much in a story—so much about the human condition, about our condition, that we probably could never be told directly.
