What if what we need most will always somehow escape us if we are not willing to share it? This past Sunday, we explored the Beatitudes of Jesus, where He suggests just this.
The band performed songs by Shaboozey, The Avett Brothers, TAYA, and more.
Hungering and Thirsting for Happiness
We have spent the past few weeks diving deeper into Jesus's promise of hungering and thirsting for righteousness. This past Gathering, we wrapped up our series within a series on consumerism by looking at the temptation that advertising offers regarding our personal happiness.

Red Bean Stew
Do you ever get the feeling there is something bigger happening around you, but can’t quite figure out where you fit? Have you ever felt like somehow, someway we’re missing purpose or meaning? Have you ever wondered if there is something more you could do? This past week, we explored an old story about two brothers and wondered together about what role we play in the bigger story happening all around us.
Mike Koch and the band played songs by Coldplay, Ethel Cain, John Mayer, and more.
Commercial Sunday

During our past Gathering, fellow Storyliners shared parts of their stories in conjunction with some of the most creative and inspiring commercials ever produced.
Hungering & Thirsting for Our Identity
In the week prior at Storyline's Gathering, we looked at the fourth Beatitude in Jesus's Sermon on the Mount: "Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be satisfied." This past week, we dove deeper into that promise and explored how the things modern life tempts us with hungering and thirsting for can influence the life of faith.
The band performed songs by City & Colour, Jewel, Broken Bells, and Leanna Crawford.

Auto-Response
Most of the revolutionary leaders of history were counter-cultural. They fixed something most people knew was wrong. Jesus did something very different, and nothing illustrated that more than what was explored at Storyline's Gathering.
The band performed songs by Phil Collins, Carly Simon, Ben Rector, and May Erlewine.

The Upward Spiral
How we start something often determines our trajectory moving forward. Jesus seemed to be thinking about this as he began his public ministry. This past Sunday, we considered how Jesus started and what it means for us.
The band performed songs by Adele, Florence and The Machine, and more.
The Path of Peace to Us

Are You Sure?
In a world full of questions, unmet expectations, and doubt, it's natural to seek answers. Many sought guidance toward a promised land where uncertainties fade away. However, if that desire is inherent, why did it often feel so elusive?
