Story Sunday 2023

Your story matters!

Each journey is unique to the individual. But what is true for all of us is the power of grace to change and affect our lives. 

This past week, at the Gathering, we got to hear from five fellow Storyliners as they share the stories of how grace changed their story. 

 

The band performed songs by Matisyahu, Joy Williams, and more.

Grace Changes Everything, Pt. 4: Implications of Identity

We live in a world of glitz, marketing, spin, and hype; from products and politicians to the latest styles and apps, it seems like everything is oversold and under-delivers.  And all the while, underneath it all, the Grace of God that made us and continues to sustain us, holds out a promise.  

This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, we took another look at how theGrace of God, accepted and embraced, can begin to changeeverything about life and our life. 

The band performed songs by Harry Styles, Will Reagan, Needtobreathe and more.

Grace Changes Everything, Pt. 1

There are all kinds of religions, gurus, political parties and even products that make huge claims about what they can do for us. Is Jesus just another example of them?

This past Sunday at Storyline’s Gathering, we looked at what Jesus offers that is absolutely unique.

The band performed songs by Billie Eilish, The Indigo Girls, Brandi Carlile and more.

Who Is It For?

It seems like every job, role and club has qualifications. Even religions have qualifications - things you need to do, or have, or believe to get in.

Is that true for Jesus?

This past Sunday morning at Storyline's Gathering, we had considered this question and explored the surprising qualifications required to follow Jesus.

The band performed songs by Coldplay, United Pursuit, and more.

Freedom, Pt. 2

Two weeks ago, at the Gathering we explored the desert path to freedom that the Hebrew people took from Egypt into the promised land. God Freed his people from slavery, but what did he free them for? Last week, we pondered exactly that. 

What has God freed His people FOR? 

Mike Koch and the band played music by Drew Holcomb, Tracy Chapman,
Lauren Daigle, and William Matthews. 

The Desert Path to the Promise

The 4th of July is the holiday dedicated to celebrating our country and freedom. 
But America didn't invent this idea or ideal, the bible has been
talking about freedom for thousands of years.

This past Sunday at Storyline's Gathering, we had considered why we love freedom so much and why it is so difficult for us to enjoy. 

The band performed songs by Bruce Springsteen, Michael Kiwanuka,
Iron and Wine, and NEEDTOBREATHE.
