South Bend City Church

Jason Miller - What was it like to be Noah, surrounded by violence, called to do something that made no sense?

Sean Palmer - Nobody told Cain the rules. He brought his offering, it wasn't accepted, and God wasn't even angry. God just asked, "Why are you angry?" In this sermon on Genesis 4, Sean Palmer follows Cain through what so many of us do when we fail or disappoint: we connive, we conceal, and we drift into distance and despair. But the story doesn't end in Nod. Even east of Eden, God keeps Cain, and God keeps us. What's Happening RSVP for the Students Friendsgiving Potluck on November 15.

Jason Miller, Karen Grant, and Becky Ykema - In our gatherings this week, we reflected on the beautiful, harrowing, and sacred work of raising kids, and then celebrated as families participated in Family Dedication. During the gathering, families participating in the dedication were given these resources. We're linking them here in case you'd like to track down the same resources for your family.

Jason Miller - In this week’s gatherings, before turning to the book of Genesis, we shared a vision for our ten-year anniversary coming in April. Be sure to listen to the community update at the beginning of the episode to stay up to date. And then we turned to the strange and deeply human story of temptation in the garden, shame, expulsion, and coming home.

Jason Miller - In this week's gatherings, before turning to the book of Genesis, we shared a vision for our ten-year anniversary coming in April. Be sure to listen to the community update at the beginning of the episode to stay up to date. And then we turned to the loneliness of Adam, the challenge of "helper" language, and the power of the Gospel to create a community.  What's Happening Check out the Students Fall Schedule.

Jason Miller - When Genesis 2 describes Adam made from the dust and breathed into life by God, what if the writer is telling a story about all of us? And what if poetic power of this text isn't at odds with the biological account of human origins known as evolution?

Jason Miller - At a time when technology, economics, and politics can leave us feeling anxious and disempowered, we're turning to a text in Scripture that comes, in part, from what might have been the most traumatic and disempowering experience suffered by the people of God. The book of Genesis invites us to a deeper perception of the goodness of the world and the power of our work within it.

Dr. Angela R. Logan - The story of Jesus calming the storm appears in Matthew, Mark, and Luke. Yet the circumstances surrounding Matthew's telling differ from those in Mark and Luke. What can Matthew's version tell us about God, ourselves, and how we can get through the storms in our lives? What's Happening Join us for our Fall Picnic on October 11 from 11a-1p at Leeper Park.

Jason Miller - Many of us have been taught, in one way or another, that wants and desires are at odds with our life with God. But why does Jesus ask people to name their desires?
