See you all tonight!

Easter is everything.

I love being able to proclaim that Jesus’ resurrection means the real story of our world needs to be told differently:

The real story is that you're not separated from God.

The real story is that you are deeply lovable.

The real story is that your life matters.

The real story is love is more powerful than anything.

And that the real story of our universe is not about never dying, it’s about rising after death.

GOOD FRIDAY

This year we have prepared a contemplative audio experience for people to go through this Friday. This will be a journey each of us will go through individually, and on our own time.

The audio will be available on Imagine’s podcast, and will be posted here in full on Friday morning.

Good Friday reminds us that while sometimes people only want Jesus because he promises them heaven, what Christ wants is to walk with you through hell. Its so easy for people to want to skip over Good Friday and go straight to Easter, but that’s not how the story works.

We hope and pray that you will be intentional about planning out a 30 minute space in your day to listen in, open your heart, and center your entire being on Christ as we remember this life changing day together.

Easter Drive In!

We cannot wait for this Sunday night’s Easter Drive in celebration! The resurrection of Christ transforms all of cosmic history, and we believe it is time to celebrate the future.

We are going to gather outside, we are going to have a food truck for dinner so we can finally be able to share a meal together, connect, and come together (socially distanced) to re-tell the most beautiful story on this planet.

Bring friends, bring an appetite, bring chairs to be able to sit outside of your cars because we will be both on fm radio and have a sound system projecting as well.

It has felt like Friday for almost an entire year, but SUNDAY IS COMING!

LENT

This Sunday is Palm Sunday. The day Jesus showed his Kingdom by riding into Jerusalem on a donkey.

This was like a staged form of guerrilla theater because at the exact same time, Caesar paraded into town with chariots and the violence of Empire.

Jesus was challenging their power, mocking them, and exposing them for the insecure, powerless force they really were. Jesus is saying you think this is real power, but it's not going to last.

And today, so many Christians are proclaiming the name of the liberating Jesus who rode in on a donkey, but deep down they worship a white nationalist Jesus who looks more like caesar, and the violence, and the power of Rome.

Which procession are you going to join?

Worship is where we discover what it means to be fully human.

Worship is directed to God because God is worthy.

Worship is for transformation.

Worship is for raising the dead.

It orients us to a world in which love is stronger than death, the poor are promised the kingdom, where nobody is forgotten, everyone is welcomed and has a place, where nothing in your life is wasted, where all things are being put back together, where God in Christ is at work creating new life in any place human being wake up and see it.

LENT

Colossians 3 Paul talks about taking off our old self and putting on our new self. He is talking about our true self—or what some spiritual masters have called “The face you had before you were born.”

The beauty and dignity of who you truly are is not up for debate.

Which is why one of the biggest problems for all of humanity is that we keep forgetting who we are.

But who you really are is something so deep in the heart of God it cannot be seen, it cannot be judged, and it cannot be threatened by those around you.

Lent means the death of the old self is always the resurrection into your true self.

Your true self is you revealing yourself to the wo

Your true self is you revealing yourself to the world, your false self is you presenting yourself to the world.

Your true self works hard to give itself to the world, your false self works hard to get its self from the world.

Your true self is you trusting that you’re accepted by God, Your false self is you trying to get approval from the world.

Following Christ is not about trying to live up to some impossible form of morality, it’s about seeing, trusting, and surrendering into who God keeps insisting you already are.

Tonight at 7 pm, “When the Kids Go Down” is back here on Instagram Live!

Our pastors Christine Sweeney, Licensed M.F.T., and Kevin will be hosting an interactive conversation about faith and mental health during this ongoing pandemic.

How does crisis, trauma, uncertainty, and isolation affect our mental health? How do we open ourselves up to transformation, while utilizing healthy coping mechanisms during times of great stress? What are ways to stay open to God, in tune with ourselves, and connected with others while we’re staying home?

Please feel free to DM us questions you have about these subjects or topics you would love to hear more about.

Both biology and botany remind us that the ability to receive the new is always defined by our willingness to die to the old.

Lent is a reminder that death is always what creates space for life. So what are you holding onto that needs to die?

SAYING GRACE

3 years ago, we had our first group for Saying Grace—an experience and a journey for the Church and the LGBTQ community to go on on together. A journey where the people we talk about become the people we talk to, where the people we label become the people we listen to, where instead of hurling hate and insults from a distance, we share love and stories together closely.

We love and cherish all of our LGBTQ siblings that have been a part of Saying Grace and still are a part of Imagine, and we look forward to the next time we’re able to do this again.

Looking forward to seeing fresh and familiar face this Sunday. Show up, drive in, and find hope in Christ during this Lenten season.

LENT

There’s a story in Mark 8 about Peter challenging Jesus because he is unwilling to accept death. He loves the way, the truth, and the life, but he’s resisting the pain, the struggle, and the death.

We’re all like Peter aren’t we? Every time we’re fighting reality or angry with God about what is happening in our life, we are Peter struggling to fit pain inside of faith and accept what is.

THIS SUNDAY NIGHT!

We are so excited for our first Drive In (not drive thru) of the year. We’ll be gathering in the parking lot behind The Entrepreneurs Sandbox at 6 pm.

This will be our first monthly drive in experience, and we are so excited to be with everyone again.

You can choose to stay in your cars or sit just outside of them, as we will be taking all necessary measure for social distancing and staying safe.

So come and see others and be seen, as we worship and continue our journey through Lent together.
