Learning to Read Scripture (Word Sunday - September 28, 2025)

<description>&lt;p&gt;This week, Jeff is talking about the Bible -- where it comes from, why it can be hard to read, and how God speaks through it. All in 25 mins or less! (Actually, we're going to be continuing this topic over to next week as well).&lt;/p&gt;

How Does God Speak Through Scripture? (Word Sunday - September 21, 2025)

<description>&lt;p&gt;This Word Sunday, Jeff is pulling together several of the foci we&amp;#39;ve been exploring through the fall -- the spiritual disciplines of slowing, rest, prayer, sabbath, and others. How can these disciplines help us to live out the life that Jesus has given to us?&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Philippians 2:12-13&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed—not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence—continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

Salvation Work Out (Word Sunday - January 19, 2025)

<description>&lt;p&gt;We're celebrating the third week of Advent this Sunday with a focus on Joy. Jeff spoke about the bewildering promise that the angel makes to the shepherds in Luke 2.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Luke 2:10-12&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord.&lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;This will be a sign to you: You will find a baby wrapped in cloths and lying in a manger."&lt;/p&gt;

Psalm 131:1-2My heart is not proud, Lord,     my eyes are not haughty; I do not concern myself with great matters     or things too wonderful for me. But I have calmed and quieted myself,     I am like a weaned child with its mother;     like a weaned child I am content
