The Monkey Haven Misfits

Ephesians 1: In Christ Is Everything, Pt. 5

November 5, 2023 • Ephesians 1:3–5

Give

1 Corinthians 1:27 “It is almost as if God deliberately handpicked the wacky of this world to embarrass the wise, the rejects to put to shame the noble.” (Mirror Bible)

This is a timely word for those who have nagging thoughts that they don’t qualify to get in on the good thing God is doing in Christ. Surprisingly, our need is what qualifies us; that we are a consortium “of oddities, a menagerie of tragic rescues, an eccentric collection of broken backgrounds” is what makes us a perfect fit for God’s redeeming love and healing presence.

The Iceberg and the Ladder of Integrity

December 31, 2023 • Dirk D

Much like an iceberg, all of us have things in our lives that are hidden from view. This message reveals the importance of taking time and effort to dive into what's invisible. Our emotions and our feelings are meant to be observed so that we can become healthier and more like Christ. We also work through a series of questions that will help you determine your values, especially when something is troubling you.

Mary, Mary, Extraordinary

December 24, 2023 • Graeme Sellers • Luke 1:46–55

Join us for an exploration of a remarkable shaper of history, Mary, the mother of Jesus. Question: when we think of her, why don’t we think of her intellect and her mindful contributions that helped shape history? We’ve had a reduced perspective of her. In early church traditions, Mary is an acknowledged evangelist, she’s involved in the leadership of the early church, and she is known for having a traveling itinerant ministry. There's more to Mary than we've been led to believe!

Getting Everything in a Nothing World

December 17, 2023 • Graeme Sellers • Ephesians 1:13–14

Paul makes an outrageous claim; he says “We’ll get everything God has planned for us” [Eph. 1:14, Message]. Really? Everything? C’mon! If we find ourselves dubious, it may be because we believe that we’ve disqualified ourselves with our behaviors, choices, or attitudes. We think that if what God has for us were an ocean vessel, that ship has sailed. Getting “everything” from God involves us but it doesn’t hinge on us. Its guarantor is Holy Spirit.
