A Series to Get Us Through to Spring

Dec. 29, 2019 – Feb. 23, 2020

The weeks between Christmas and spring can be unpredictable, and that goes for more than just the weather. This series is “a little of this, and a little of that”—hopefully enough of a mix to keep us all engaged until spring!

Message line-up:

12/29: Stories of Joy and Thanksgiving; Stories from the Artisan community about how we are experiencing joy and thanksgiving in our lives.
1/5: The State of the Church; Listen; An update from Pastor Scott about all that is going on lately at Artisan, what challenges we face, and what we can expect in 2020.
1/12: The Shelter of Mother Bird; Carrie Starr; Listen; Read transcript; How does vulnerability before God provide rest when we feel defeated and destroyed?; Psalm 57, Isaiah 40:28–31
1/19: Moderate Justice; Pastor Scott Austin; Listen; Read transcript; We celebrate the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., by engaging with the Hebrew prophet Amos, whose writing inspired some of Dr. King’s most challenging words: his letter to white moderate Christians.; Amos 5
1/26: The Light of the World; Pastor Scott Austin; An all-ages interactive reflection on what it means to walk in the darkness and come to love God as the Light of the World.; Isaiah 9:1-4; Psalm 27; Matthew 4:12-23
2/2: Open Questions; Pastor Scott Austin; Got a question about God, the Bible, Artisan’s vision, or anything else? We embrace questions, even when the answers aren’t easy. So ask away!
2/9: Day of Community Prayer; Pastor Scott Austin; We will spend the usual sermon time in prayer for our church and the community we are part of. We will practice a variety of different types of prayer, some of which may be new to you!
2/16: Be Perfect; Kristen Brown; Listen; Read transcript; “Be perfect as your Heavenly Father is perfect.” This line tucked into the middle of Jesus’s Sermon on the Mount seems impossible. What could Jesus mean by this? We’ll explore this strange idea this week, and in doing so learn more about what it means to be beloved children of God.; Matthew 5:20–48
2/23: That Word You Keep On Using; Listen; Our religious vocabulary matters, because it gives meaning to our life of faith. But some words we use (repeatedly!) can be confusing, or have evolved new meaning over the years. Today we examine a few of these words, considering what they mean to us.
