Fall 2014 Message Series
In September/October 2014, we’re going to spend some time in one of the most popular, yet most mysterious, letters the Apostle Paul ever wrote… Ephesians. Known as “The Epistle To The Ephesians,” this book of the New Testament is referred to as the “Queen” of the Apostle Paul’s writings. It’s popularity is due in part […]
Growing Roots
“Sugar and spice and everything nice… that’s what little girls are made of…” goes an old folk poem from the 19th century. Whatever. WOMEN(!) are made of ideas and thoughts, challenges and troubles, hopes and regrets, drama and joy, victories and dreams, complex emotions and simple desires (and vice versa)… most of all, we’re made in […]
Easter :: the story like you’ve never heard before…
The Bible isn’t the only place you can find out about what Jesus did, how He died, and the almost-over-night-explosion of people claiming to have seen Jesus resurrected from the dead. It’s true! A handful of contemporary sources cite both the Man and the Movement that worshiped him as God and spread the Good […]
The Blessing Wrapped In The Curse (or, Mary Comforts Eve)…
For anyone who knows the story of “The Fall” (in Genesis 3) as we’ve come to describe it, and “The Annunciation” (in Luke 1), this is a particularly moving piece of art. I don’t know who made it, I don’t know when they made it, and I don’t know why they made it. But I […]
No Worship Service Labor Day Sunday (and why that’s a good thing!)
If you’re a regular at Pathmakers, you probably already know about “Reset Sundays” and how it all works. If you’re new to Pathmakers, you probably have NO IDEA what we’re talking about. Allow me to explain… About three times a year, we have what we call “Reset Sundays.” On Reset Sundays, we cancel our main […]
When God Calls You… – The Story of Jonah
…coming September 2013 to Pathmakers… The story of Jonah, found in the Hebrew Old Testament, is among the most debated passages of Scripture in the entire Bible. Some scholars argue it is purely allegorical, maybe a didactic fable or nursery rhyme for children, or, at best, an embellished narrative about a prophet who lived in […]
Hit The Reset Button :: No Gathering Memorial Day Sunday
If you’re a regular at Pathmakers, you probably already know about “Reset Sundays” and how it all works. If you’re new to Pathmakers, you probably have NO IDEA what we’re talking about. Allow me to explain… About three times a year, we have what we call “Reset Sundays.” On Reset Sundays, we cancel our main […]
When Jesus moved in…
The Bible teaches that God wants to live with us. More than that, God wants to live in us. The Apostle Paul calls us “the Temple of the Holy Spirit.” And that when we commit to following Jesus, God makes His home in us. In a sense, Jesus moves in. What does that look like? […]
The Parable Of The Good Samaritan and “Neighboring”
The Parable of the Good Samaritan found in Luke 10:25-37 is one of the most famous of Jesus’ parables. Artists have been inspired to create masterpieces reflecting the impact of the story, like the one here by Vincent Van Gogh. The parable was Jesus’ answer to a question posed to him about what it meant […]
