Peace Sunday

One service, two locations. On this Great Getaway Sunday, we held a joint morning service to connect congregation members in Denver and at RMMC.

Nelson Mandela is credited with saying that “something always seems impossible until it’s done.” Sometimes our pursuit toward peace seems unrealistic. Sometimes we cannot imagine how it might be achieved. And yet, we are called to pursue peace even if and when it does not make sense. And sometimes amazing and wondrous things happen when our conduct is worthy of the gospel of Christ. September 22 was set aside as Peace Sunday. We focused on those times when the peace of Christ surpasses what we may perceive as impossible- in short, a peace that surpasses all understanding.

You have got to be kidding

Why is Luke 14:25-33 even included in scripture? The call Jesus issues in this text seems shockingly out of character. It is as if Jesus wants to intentionally drive people away. Why? Glenn Balzer explores another of the difficult texts.

To be Clay in the Potter's Hand

Zach Martinez preaches from Jeremiah 18:1-10. In 2017, the Washington Post reported that, given declining trends in church attendance, the mainline Protestant Church has 23 years until its attendance is effectively zero. How does the Church confront this information with hope? Is it possible that hope doesn't mean everything turns out "okay"?
