This Sunday for Storyline's first Gathering of 2022, Mike Gathright will continue our series on the Beatitudes. So much of what Jesus said can change the way we see life, what we look for in life, and who we'll serve with our life - and the Beatitude we will consider this week is perfectly placed to start the year off with a fresh, challenging, uplifting and hopeful perspective.
By Our Side
Mike Gathright reflects on what makes Christmas a unique holiday.
Please join us on Sunday mornings at 10:30 at Watermark's Solarium in downtown Stevensville.
The First Step, Beatitudes Prt 5
These are the questions we've been considering together the last month.
This recent Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright looked at what may be the one sentence that best sums up both, how and why Jesus started it all, as well as, why and how Storyline started.
In, Up, and through Beatitudes Prt.4
How could anyone dislike Jesus? Have you ever wondered that? Well, people did. A lot of people REALLY disliked him.
This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright explored one claim Jesus made that turned some people against him...and others toward a brand new way of living.
"I'm On My Way" Beatitudes Prt. 3
Great leaders, thinkers, and religious figures often carve a new path forward, they are counter-cultural; history is full of such people from Einstein to Washington, from King to Jobs. We see these icons buck the system and think, "Yes! I knew something was wrong there." But Jesus challenges us in an even more profound way, He was counterintuitive. And our response to that is usually, "No! That can't be."
This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright considered one of Jesus'
most counterintuitive invitations.
Team Sport, Beatitudes Prt. 2
The Race for the Rotten Egg, Beatitudes Prt. 1
This Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright will consider one statement from Jesus - His first. One line that has changed world history, and could change how we see life, what we look for in life, and who we will serve with our life.
Mike Koch and the band will perform songs by Adele, Maggie Rogers,
Jess Glynn, and more.

Hell - We Are On His
Jesus said a lot of controversial things - as we've discovered the last couple of weeks. This Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright will reflect on one of Jesus's most difficult parables and how it can actually give us a beautiful insight into what all of life is for.
Mike Koch and the band will perform songs by Santana, Johnny Cash, Lauren Daigle, and Rich Mullins.
The Invitation to Repent
Sometimes the best people can say things and do things that seem out of character; it takes us by surprise. Jesus did this all the time. Just when we think we know him, he surprises us - again.
This Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright will consider one of the most controversial and surprising sayings of Jesus.
Given the Gift of Giving
Did you know Jesus had a favorite topic, one he spoke about more than any other? He did. And this Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright will explore why.
Mike Koch and the band will perform songs by Sting, The Eagles,
Brandi Carlile, and more.
Our Father
Polls show that there are more people who pray than there are people who believe in God. Huh? It seems as if almost everybody prays, in some way...the question is - How? Why? And for what?
Jesus actually had a lot to say about this topic and Sunday at Storyline's
Gathering Mike Gathright will explore what he taught about prayer and
how it connects to our real lives.
Baptism: Lovable or Loving
You've probably been to at least one of these this summer; every culture and society has them - rites of passage. Human beings have been commemorating big changes and new beginnings with these rites for millennia.
This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, Mike Gathright will look at one such rite that Jesus himself participated in and why he invites us to do the same.
Mike Koch and the band will perform songs by Talking Heads, Fleetwood Mac,
Chris Stapleton, and Rod Stewart.
