The Christmas Story
The story is one everyone knows. The heroic tale of a young, frightened couple giving birth to the Son of God in an innkeeper's stable. But what's the story behind the story? What is happening beyond the shepherds and angels and frankincense? This past Sunday at the Gathering we set the stage for the divinely scandalous and subversive story of Christmas.
Mike Koch and the band played songs by Maggie Rogers, David Rameriez, and more.
The Path of Peace
It's the most wonderful time of the year, or at least it is supposed to be. Why is it "supposed to be" and why is it so often - not? This is the question Mike Gathright will consider as we begin a month of Gatherings all about Christmas.
Morgan and the band performed songs by Sara Bareilles, U2, Lady Gaga,
and The Kinks.
Please join us next Sunday morning at 10:30 at St. Joe High School's auditorium.

Thomas Was With Them
Every great story has an unexpected twist, a surprise no one saw coming. In John's story of the life of Jesus, this comes in chapters 19 and 20.
In this episode Mike Gathright will consider how chapter 20 may not only be the most important part of his story but the most important part of ours.
Mike Koch and the band performed songs by Adele, Miley Cyrus, Foy Vance, and Plains.
We hope to see you Sunday mornings at 10:30 at St. Joe High School's auditorium!

Meagan Francis
When you’re stuck in the middle of your own story, it can be hard to see the big picture - or trust that there’s a greater purpose at play. In this episode we' explored how Jesus managed to get through the worst part of his story, to help us get to the best part of ours.
Mike Koch and the band performed songs by U2, Avett Brothers, Keane, and more.
The Best - John 16
Why do bad things happen to good people?"
It's a question we've all asked at one point or another. However, aren't we really wondering "why do bad things happen to me?" To answer that, we first must wonder... "why do bad things happen at all?" At this Gathering, Paul Knapp wondered aloud how a God we are told is on our side could allow a world where suffering feels inevitable.
JOHN 17
This week Mike Gathering talked about John 17.
The Dance of Grace
What can happen when we really believe we belong? When the tryout is over, the team is posted and we made it!
This Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright will explore the way belonging changes how we move through life.
Mike Koch and the band will perform songs by Adele, Maren Morris,
and Leon Bridges.
We hope to see you this Sunday morning at 10:30 at St. Joe

Its All Connected
Do you have a "must-have" list? We all do to some extent, right?
For the right house, car, partner, school?
We are all looking for some critical elements we must have!
Is that true for our spiritual life? Should it be? This is what Mike Gathright will be considering this Sunday morning at Storyline's Gathering as we continue our read through the book of John.
Lindsay, Morgan, and the band will perform songs by Steve Winwood, Drew Holcomb, Bonnie Raitt, and Tommy Prine.
We hope to see you this Sunday at 10:30 at St. Joe High School's auditorium.
Its All Connected
We all remember cramming for exams. Why do we remember how we studied but not what we studied? Well, Jesus did something to help his followers remember his bottom line point that was so amazing the world never forgot.
This Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, Mike Gathright will consider Jesus's last lesson and what it could mean for us.
Mike Koch and the band will perform songs by Bruce Springsteen, Dawes,
The Gin Blossoms and more.
We hope to see you this Sunday at 10:30 at St. Joe High School's auditorium.
THE GREAT REVERSAL
From weathermen to oddsmakers, from political pundits to astrologers, we have no shortage in our culture of those trying to predict the future. It's a tough business.
Yet, near the end of Jesus's life, he didn't shy away from it. Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright explores several of Jesus's predictions and how they could change our lives.
Alive but Alone
Is there anything that could ruin a miracle? Make it less miraculous? This Sunday at Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright will look at the miracle that made Jesus' most amazing miracle - miraculous.
Mike Koch and the band will perform songs by The Beatles, Alabama Shakes, Maggie Rogers, and Elevation.
We hope to see you this Sunday morning at 10:30 at
St. Joe High School's auditorium.
THE GOOD SHEPHERD
We all want a life that flourishes. Jesus had a particular name for that kind of life, and something he believed was a prerequisite to be able to live it.
At Storyline's Gathering Mike Gathright considered this prereq for a flourishing life and how it brings us Life.
