Dr. Angela Logan - After wrestling with Paul in chapters 9-11, this week we shifted our attention to one of the most well-known and beloved passages in the Bible, chapter 12. Here, Paul shares with the community in Rome what he believes it means to be a true human being, offers wisdom on how to become a community, and how to use their uniqueness to support that community. As SBCC continues to grow and flourish as a community, we are called to move from the theoretical to the practical, and to reflect upon what are we uniquely created to do, and how are we using our uniqueness to practical ..read more

Mariah Keener - This weekend, before continuing our series in Romans, we took some time to engage in some practices during our liturgy.

Jason Miller - We're still in Romans 9-11, where Paul wrestles with questions about his own Jewish people's place in the ongoing story of God's faithfulness. Before the teaching, you'll hear Jason share about the Post Evangelical Collective, a gathering of kindred leaders and communities that we're a part of. In his introduction, he shared this manifesto from the PEC: "We are church leaders, artists, and other stakeholders who find ourselves estranged from the dominant expressions of American Christianity. We feel homeless in the larger church landscape because: While Evangelicalism is the the ..read more

Jason Miller - After celebrating the power of the love of God in Romans 8, Paul goes on to a complicated wrestling match in chapters 9-11 about the fate of his own people and the faithfulness of God. If you've ever tried to read these chapters, you may have been tempted to skip through them because of how technical they are. But this is one of the places in Paul's work where people have looked to answer big questions about blessing and curse, chosen-ness, who's in, who's out, and the nature of God's character in these things. So in this gathering, we decided to get into it. Ways to Get Connec ..read more

Jason Miller - Palm Sunday is more than a pageant - it’s the performance of a confrontation between different visions of power. Two different visions of God.
