“The Seed of the Kingdom”- This week we look at what the Kingdom of God is and how it comes about through the power of the Holy Spirit.

This week we do a recap of what we have been learning so far in the book of Genesis and look at the story of Jacob’s ladder as God appears in an in-between place.
Today, we pronounce the gospel that Christ is risen and death’s reign is over.
In the middle of the Covid-19 crisis (or maybe in the beginning of it…), we pause to be invited into the peace of God.
In the first chapter of this letter, Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy talk about how they must thank God for the growing love and faithfulness of the church in Thessalonica, and how they are confident that when Christ returns, their persecutors will be cleared out, and they will have a clear path to God.
What do we do with passages in scripture that we don’t like? We enter into the text as foreigners in a new land, trying to learn and explore that which we do not understand. We thank God for the opportunity to learn, to be challenged, and to grow.
We look at the remarkable story behind Paul’s letter to Philemon (and his church). We find in it a radical call to trust the work of the Spirit in the church.
We shift, with Hebrews, from faith to holiness. Coming to recognize that Christ is the perfecter of our life and faith, we discuss our call to respond to the sanctifying work of Christ by allowing ourselves to be made holy.
