By the Book: Sweeter Than Honey - Chris Nye

2024/06/10

The term gospel means “good news,” and the message of salvation found in the Bible is likened to treasure, honey, and a reward. Many see Scripture as limiting to our freedom and even evil. How do we know God’s word is as good as He says it is?

Our world is increasingly illiterate. During a time of distraction and digital forms of formation, we commit to allowing the word to dwell in us. But what is the “word” and why is it essential for it to dwell in us?

The early church grew almost entirely off of the preaching of individual believers. Today, a sermon is a polished, 40 minute talk given by an educated professional member of the clergy. In the New Testament, it was a bold declaration by all kinds of common Christians that Christ was the risen Lord. To “proselytize” or preach in order to convert someone is looked down upon in today’s world. But what does a commitment to sharing the good news of Jesus look like for us in Portland? The word “witness”

Desmond Tutu’s memoir is titled “No Future Without Forgiveness,” and sums up a key message for Christian living. So long as we call Jesus our Lord, we will be asked about the ways in which we give and withhold forgiveness. Our relationship with God is inextricably linked to our own relationship with our grudges. In a world of cancellation and social media juries, how do Christians offer the healing gift of forgiveness? And how much can we forgive?

The book of Acts said of the church that they gave in such a manner that there “was no needy person among them.” When we consider this inside our modern capitalistic and individualistic society, it seems impossible. But what might God be asking us to grow in? The early church was marked by radical generosity, especially towards those in need. How might generosity become a defining feature of a local church?

What is necessary for great ministry to happen? We could list many things like prayer, discernment, courage, and community. But what about money? Every great work of God—in Scripture, in church history, and across the globe right now—has behind it “gospel patrons,” people who supply the financial resources necessary for the work of the gospel. Our world understands and is obsessed with consumeristic and capitalistic visions of investment. Christians have a larger vision for their possessions as they

Dr. Nijay Gupta challenges us to live out the values of the one true God. The church lives a different culture, and we should come across as strange and inviting in the way we interact in the world. By looking at the uniqueness of Christ as described in Philippians, we can see the uniqueness of his church.

In his famous passage on “the foolishness of the cross,” Paul says that the message of Jesus frustrates both Jew and Gentile. For the community deep inside the story of Scripture and the community outside of it, Jesus’ cross was called “a stumbling block”—literally, “a scandal,” in the original Greek. What makes Jesus so scandalous to ideological and religious categories?

Images of Us: The Nation - Chris Nye

Imago Dei Community ·

2024/03/19

God’s people are called “a royal priesthood, a holy nation” (1 Peter 2:9). Jesus called his followers to a citizenship of the kingdom of heaven and the earliest church fathers gave their allegiance to Jesus before their country. What does it mean to be a nation of Jesus followers inside a nation like America? And how do we live as responsible and courageous citizens of both?

Images of Us: The Temple - Chris Nye

2024/03/12

The New Testament assures us that the church is a dwelling place for God. We are likened to a “temple” and a “holy city”—places where God’s presence permeates reality. But church often feels like a dwelling place for dysfunction. What role does God’s presence have in our formation as a community? And how does it change how we commit to one another?

2024/03/05

More than any other metaphor in all of the New Testament, it is the image of a family that permeates everything. In the simple address of “brothers and sisters,” which covers nearly every early Christian writing, we can easily see the familial nature of relationships inside the church. A family is a beautiful and difficult place. What happens when we take our family of origin into the family of God.

2024/02/27

What does it mean to be the Body of Christ? In the New Testament, Paul employs this metaphor several times, but never in a way of striving—as if we have to “become” the Body. He, instead, simply tells us that this is what we are and we must care for the Body of Jesus the way we might care for our own body, so that we might be built up and strengthened—healthy and ready for action.

Lent is a time of repentance, of coming back to God through the acknowledgement of our humanity. Who are we before God and in his sight? For lent this year, we are repenting of the distorted images we carry of the church, the people of God, through an inspection of the biblical metaphors of us. Most of our visions of our community are distorted by our own history and lack any connection to the rich biblical images given to the people of God across Scripture. During Lent, we will lay down our

2024/02/16

Is God’s community worth investing in? The church used to be a place where we received cultural and social benefits, a place where we “found our people” and grew in our relationship with our surrounding community. But as culture has rapidly secularized and been inundated with technology, we don’t need the church for a good social life or even for spiritual content. The early followers of Jesus seemed to give the church their top priority, how did they do it and why? Strangely enough, the answers for

2024/02/07

Haggai is a minor prophet whose book is just two chapters. But it is packed full of a massive question: do we prioritize what God prioritizes? Hidden in this book is a call for the people of God: “Consider your ways,” Haggai says, and think about all the effort you put into all you prioritize: is it fulfilling? So much of modern life involves experiences of losses that we disguise as gains. What would happen if we reoriented our priorities with what God puts first?

Prayers of Jesus: A Cry Unheard - Cheryl Denise Baker

Imago Dei Community ·

2024/01/30

For two weeks, we will be listening to Jesus pray. During his time on earth, the gospel writers record dozens of moments where Jesus cried out to God in public and in private. What did Jesus pray about and why is that important? While this series could last all year due to the number of prayers he prayed, we will spend three weeks looking at three different prayers of Jesus to ask this question: how can we join Jesus in his prayers for us?
