We've all had seasons of displacement and discouragement. In this teaching Chris Priebe encourages Missio Mesa from the Letter to Philly. Listen in and feel free to reach out with any questions or for further dialogue.
The Letter to Pergamum (Letters to the Church and this one is about sin.)
Letter to the Church: Pergamum
Who here is at risk of compromising our calling or falling into Jesus + something = fulfillment? All our hands should be up. We all have the propensity to say Yes to Jesus and then also try to say Yes to things that seem like we need to get for ourselves. So what do we do when we are trapped in sexual sin and idolatry? Kevin Platt helps us see from this letter in Revelation 2 that Jesus gives a merciful path back to him! We remember. We repent. And we Return.

True Story: Sent as Servants (John 13)
As We Hope We Live (matthew 21)
True Story: Lost and Found (Luke 15)
The good news of the kingdom of God is that the Father welcomes anyone who would turn to him.
Running away from God at full speed? He loves the rebellious and welcomes us to the table.
Realizing that your religion has been more about obeying the rules and not actually a loving relationship with God? Good News, He loves us and welcomes us to the table.

True Story: The Good Samaritan
True Story: A Tale of Two Kingdoms (Matthew 13)
Matthew 14 perfectly paints a contrasting picture of the way of the empire and the way of Jesus. This 2 act drama plays out over the beheading of John (A meal with Herod in his kingdom) and the feeding of the 5k (a meal with Jesus in his kingdom.)
There’s a haunting call that yes, there is a reign that leads to death, but you don’t have to choose to give allegiance to that king. There’s another option a better option. And a better way of life spent following Jesus.
May we be a community who lives out of abundance, healing, and life - not scarcity, hurt, and death.
