Put Your Sword Away

The Last Week

March 26, 2023 • Pastor Steve Swinburne • John 18:1–11

Jesus radically engages with those who come to arrest him in the Garden of Gethsemane. His disciple, Peter, draws his sword to defend Jesus, but Jesus rebukes him saying, "Put your sword away." We can become misguided, like Peter, believing that we need to defend Jesus, but the gospel invites us to engage through peace.

Easter Sunday - Joyfully Afraid

April 9, 2023 • Pastor Steve Swinburne • Matthew 28:1–10

We expect God to make us joyful, but we rarely expect God to make us afraid. The best moments in life are a blend of these two dueling emotions: alligator sightings, rollercoasters, and boogie boarding to name a few. The Bible contains a rich tradition of spiritual giants who "feared" God. This picture shouldn't surprise us, then, when the women arrive at the empty tomb and are filled with fear when they see Jesus. The resurrection of Jesus makes us joyfully afraid.

The Crucifixion

April 2, 2023 • Pastor Alex Krum, Nathaniel , Lorla Fossat • Psalm 22, John 19:28–37

In a fresh podcast style format, Pastor Alex, Nathaniel Metzger, & Lorla Fossat dive into Jesus' death on the cross.

The Place of the Skull

March 26, 2023 • Pastor Steve Swinburne • John 19:16–27

Religious people can easily be consumed by conspiracy and speculation. This is not a new problem, but an ancient one, that we continue to wrestle today. Conspiracy and speculation surround even the cross and the place of the Skull where Jesus was crucified. But focusing on such things yields a life of poverty, because the Cross of Christ is about self-less love not endless speculation.
