We Are the Evidence

Jesus asks us to love each other, to love our neighbors, and to love our enemies, and this is the most powerful evidence the world will have that He exists and offers them eternal life.

First Principles

If we start from any other theological point than the simplicity of “God is love” – without the usual “buts” which may sometimes accompany this truth – we are bound to wind up with a theological system and/or church which may justify some pretty heinous things in the name of Jesus, as even a cursory reading of church history can demonstrate.

A New Kind of Community

Following our model, Jesus the Good Shepherd, we can lay it all down for the sake of those Jesus loves — for the sake of those we are learning to love — as we are being formed into the kinds of people who make up this new kind of community Jesus is still forming.

Of What We May Become

Jesus the Stranger, hidden in plain sight but revealed as we gather together to tell the story and the breaking of bread; showing himself in inexplicable ways in our darkest and most solemn moments, and opening our minds to help us keep pressing forward to carry this candle of hope forward into the unknown.
