Connections

We continue to walk through church istory looking at vibes, events, conflicts, and people. Today we look at the time of the church between 800-1300 AD. 

Jesus died on the cross, rose from the grave and now just before he ascends, he instructs his disciples - his apprentices - to go and make more apprentices like them.  Pastor Zach explains what that means for us today.

We continue our journey through church history exploring the years between 300 AD to 500 AD. We see remarkable and influential people coming out of the time period We see theology and doctrine that shapes the church even today. And do we see Santa Claus throw hands? It is part 2 of Church History. 

Prior to Easter the greatest weapon evil had to offer was death.  But on Easter Jesus demonstrated that death no longer holds a grip on mankind.  As believers, we are alive in him now and will be throughout eternity.  Praise God!  Glory to Him in the highest!

Upon request we are diving in and walking through the history of the church. We recognize we as a church didn't appear out of no where. We also recognize that there are people that have shaped us and formed us that maybe we are not aware of. Just like normal family trees there is some interesting drama and conflict that has informed and shaped us today. So we begin exploring the messy start of the church in the first 300 years. 

Jesus rides into Jerusalem as Messiah King but also as a prophet predicting the fall of Isreal for their rejection of him. 

As part of our series on Lent and its practices, Pastor Zach explores the week before Easter traditionally called Holy Week. this interesting week holds its own days, traditions, and practices meant to encourage us to encounter Christ and live out our faith.

In chapter 18 Matthew records Jesus teaching the disciples what it means to forgive.  Peter believes he has the answer - forgive someone "seven times".  Jesus says, "No Peter, seventy-seven times".  Paster Zach explains how we often misunderstand this entire teaching.

Pastor Zach sits down for a conversation with Pastor, Preacher, Writer Tara Beth Leach to discuss her book The Great Morning Revolution.

A series exploring historic practices of Christians during the season of Lent. Pastor Zach takes a look at the practice of fasting. Probably the most common practice associated with Lent, but how does this practice shape our faith and invite us into a deeper relationship with God? That is what we are exploring today.
