The Wisdom of God: 1 Corinthians 2:1-16

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 19 Oct 2008 02:41:35 GMT

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 10 Aug 2008 01:24:05 GMT

Prayers for You: part 3

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 03 Aug 2008 03:56:39 GMT

The Heart of the Matter: Rugged Spirituality

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 04 May 2008 22:02:15 GMT

Rick concludes the Life of David series by looking at David's prayers in 2 Samuel 7 and 23.

Playing God: Rugged Spirituality

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 27 Apr 2008 22:27:36 GMT

God in a Box: Rugged Spirituality

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 20 Apr 2008 19:48:42 GMT

Rick takes a look at the actions of Uzzah, Michal, and David in 2 Samuel chapter 6 and asks the question, "What is our response to the living and active God who reigns over all?" Do we try to put God in a box, do we stand off at a distance and criticize, or do we dance the dance of humble worship?

Learning from the Wilderness: Rugged Spirituality

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 19:45:18 GMT

Starting with God: Rugged Spirituality

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 30 Mar 2008 19:42:56 GMT

Dr. Rick McKinley continues the 'Journey to the Cross' series with a look at Luke 9 and asks the question, "What does it mean to 'take up our cross'?" We should follow in the way of our Lord Jesus Christ and die to ourselves in order to allow the life of Christ to flow through us.

Pushing Past Just Being Forgiven

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 09 Mar 2008 22:19:40 GMT

Why did Jesus have to die?

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 02 Mar 2008 00:54:17 GMT

Rick continues the 'Journey to the Cross' series with an in depth look at how Christ's suffering and death was just, complete, and eternally necessary for the forgiveness of our sins.

A Global Hope

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 24 Feb 2008 22:35:47 GMT

Beginning in the Wilderness

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 10 Feb 2008 05:59:15 GMT

Rick begins the "Journey to the Cross" series with a look at Christ's temptation in the wilderness in Matthew 4. Through this passage we come to realize that Christ didn't come to immediately 'fix' the world, but rather, through worship of the One true God, to save the world from idolatry.

Money, God, Eternity

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 03 Feb 2008 18:59:54 GMT

Rick wraps up the series on money with a further look at Luke 12. We invest our money, energy, and resources into the eternal kingdom of God not because it is 'spiritual' to do so but because it is wise and "where our treasure is, there will our heart be also".

The Gospel and Your Money

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 27 Jan 2008 22:03:46 GMT

Father's Day

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 17 Jun 2007 06:00:20 GMT

In our cultural landscape fathering is an area filled with much pain, loss, and abuse. Something is missing. The void left when fatherâ€™s parent badly only affirms the reality that every person is created to be fathered.

God's Justice

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 10 Jun 2007 18:03:59 GMT

God is opening the door to give us a glimpse into what heâ€™s doing in the world, His cosmic plan of salvation. Itâ€™s interesting that our personal transformation and our ministry come from the same place: Godâ€™s invitation to let go of our own empire and join what God is doing.

Rebuilding

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 03 Jun 2007 01:08:01 GMT

We have been studying Isaiah 61 for several weeks now. We have been looking at how God meets us in the deep streams of life and brings transformation to us. This transformation occurs so that his glory and righteousness will be put on display for the world to see. But how will this happen?

Glory & Righteousness

The Brokenhearted

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 06 May 2007 17:20:41 GMT

What we bank on for the fulfillment of our heart is extremely important. Most things we place our hope in are susceptible to leaving us confused, alone, and hurt when they fall apart.

Transformation Through Participation

Bringing Jesus Home

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 11 Feb 2007 23:20:08 GMT

Philippians 4

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 04 Feb 2007 20:11:55 GMT

Philippians 3

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 28 Jan 2007 19:06:42 GMT

Life is lived not by legalism or by lawless lust, but by pursuing Christ. A story from C.S. Lewis's The Voyage of the 'Dawn Treader' illustrated it...

Philippians 2

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 21 Jan 2007 05:50:02 GMT

The culture of Philippi that Paul was writing to has much similarity to our current North American culture. It was a wealthy culture. It was a cultural hub. It was a place where citizenship held many advantages. Paul urges his followers...

The Relational Gift

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 10 Dec 2006 21:27:45 GMT

The book of John introduces Christ relationally, as part of the Trinity co-existing with God forever. John quickly moves to the point that this Jesus became flesh and dwelt among us.

Responding to the Advent Story

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 03 Dec 2006 21:41:48 GMT

Christ became poor so that we might become rich. In light of this, a way to enter into the advent story this year is to give away what we have to those in need. This is the very nature of God...

Incarnational Gospel

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 29 Oct 2006 19:24:54 GMT

Paul imitated Christ in several ways. First of all, he went to them. He initiated. He pursued. Second, Paul actually cared about them.

Gospel Shaped Life

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 22 Oct 2006 21:44:36 GMT

Doctrine is often accused of being dry, sterile, or even dead. But a true Christian doctrine is exactly the opposite.

Trust

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 15 Oct 2006 18:56:53 GMT

When the writer of Proverbs asks us to trust God in everything, is he asking for some type of blind faith?

Mustard Seed Kingdom

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 06 Aug 2006 00:13:54 GMT

Jesus teaches that the Kingdom of God starts small, like a seed. So often we are looking for the big things, because small seems insignificant. But it is precisely here, in the seemingly insignificant areas of our life, that the Kingdom of God is breaking in!

Symmetrical Expression of Christ's Life

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 23 Jul 2006 00:56:01 GMT

What does it look like for us to walk in the tension between service and proclamation?

Cultural Renewal

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 16 Jul 2006 23:57:51 GMT

Aim at Love

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 09 Jul 2006 23:33:32 GMT

Aim at love and get the Law thrown in. Aim at Eternity and get the present thrown in. Aim at Christ and get purity thrown in.

Respect for Authority

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 02 Jul 2006 20:20:20 GMT

In our culture, we are taught to flee from situations where we are required to submit or subject ourselves to others. But it is Gods message to us through Pauls letter to the Romans that teaches us we are all subject to authority.

Controlling Your Destiny

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 18 Jun 2006 18:44:50 GMT

Our destination has been determined by God. In fact it is a destination we are unable to determine on our own. It is a God sized assignment, saving us and sanctifying us.

Love Must Be Sincere

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 11 Jun 2006 19:04:27 GMT

This section of Romans speaks to us of how love should shape us into living sacrifices.

Humble Participation

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 04 Jun 2006 18:33:32 GMT

God has pursued us into salvation, but he has also changed us deeply. If we are indeed a new humanity, no longer slaves to sin, how then shall we live?

Be Transformed

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 28 May 2006 23:51:20 GMT

God shows Himself as merciful over and over again throughout the book of Romans. In chapter 12 there is clear instruction for what we can do in response to the mercy we have received.

XXX Church

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 21 May 2006 00:50:40 GMT

Craig Gross, one of the founders of the XXX Church, tells his story about building this website and church which has become, what they refer to as the #1 Christian Porn site.

Humble Worship in Response

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 14 May 2006 17:22:33 GMT

It is challenging to accept undeserved grace. This is partly because we, as humans, are not very good at receiving. We want to earn what we get.

Exalted Among the Nations - Interview w/ Victor Cruz

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 07 May 2006 01:08:46 GMT

God uses our stories to bring about Himself being exalted among the nations. We acknowledge as a church body that we do not have a full view of what is happening in other parts of the world and we seek to take a peer role in standing with others who are spreading the Gospel.

Chosen by God

Imago Dei Community — Sun, 30 Apr 2006 20:24:18 GMT

All humanity is under that wrath of God, yet in grace God has pursued us through Christ. This salvation comes through the Jews, as Christ was Jewish. This raises many questions about the state of Israel, and God's plan for her. Did God's plan fail?
