Our midweek gatherings are focused on those who are highly motivated to look deeply at their faith and lives and the intersection between the two. It is a safe place to ask politically incorrect questions and search together, not so much for answers, but for better questions, more incisive and relevant questions and ways forward. Come have a conversation with us about the most important things in life.
Beginning August 11, we are launching a new study series...

the sermon on the mount
For general study and as part of theeffect's ministry school, we will be studying the Sermon on the Mount--Matthew 5, 6, and 7-- from a Hebrew/Aramaic perspective.
Like a set of nesting dolls that sit inside each other, the New Testament contains the four Gospels, which contain the Gospel of Matthew--the most Hebrew of the gospels, which contains the Sermon on the Mount, which contains the Lord's Prayer. The teachings of Jesus are contained in each of these, but in more and more concentrated form. The entire kernel of Jesus' teaching is present in the Sermon, and if we can understand these three chapters in Matthew, we can peer into the heart of Jesus' relationship with Father. And yet, the Sermon has confounded the greatest scholars of the church for two thousand years, because they have approached it from a typically Western point of view. By looking through Hebrew eyes, we can move back into a context in which apparent difficulties disappear.
