Longing for our Prophet, Priest, & King Week 1 | Longing for our Prophet

This week we take a look at this idea of "Holistic Mission". We want to be a people that embrace all of the work God has for us, not just some of it. 

We are blessed to get to hear from Pastor Aaron Dailey from Alhambra Beloved Community this week. He gives a fiery message about the importance of the Image of God. He helps us remember to recognize it on others, but also to realize it is part of our very identity as humans. 

We have pastor Juan Chavez share with us this week. He's getting ready to start a church in South Phoenix. He really embodies The Beloved Community value of embracing diversity. 

Week two of our series we look at what it means to be an intentional disciple of Jesus, as well as our calling to make disciples of Jesus.  

We start a new series this week. We are taking time to look at some of our shared church values with "The Beloved Community". We have been working with another church and soon to be church plant to create a new family of Churches called "The Beloved Community". This series will look at the values will share together as a family of churches. Today we look at why that word Beloved, and term Beloved Community means so much to us. 

This week pastor Kyle takes us through a message on singleness. What is the right way for us as Christians to think through singleness? He brings up two of our church family members; Kailey and Caleb to talk to us more about Christian Singleness. 

We end our series in Luke 15 by taking a look at the older brother. We do this by hearing how Luke 15 would have sounded to the Pharisees that were muttering about Jesus. We go through questions this text asks us the help us hear the message Jesus was trying to speak to the Pharisees. 

This week we zoom in on the father in the parable of the two lost sons. We see that the father has costly love, gracious love, and abundant love. 

We start a new series in Luke 15 today. We will cover the whole chapter over the course of the series, but in particular we are going to zoom in what is famously called "The Parable of the Prodigal Son". Each week we will do a character study of each of the characters in this famous story. This week we see what we can learn from the prodigal son's part of the story. 

We closed up our Longing for our Prophet, Priest, and King series on Christmas Eve, looking at how we all long for a King, and how Jesus is that king.
