Tamar and David

In this message from 2 Samuel 13, we look at the story of Tamar, the daughter of King David, and the men who failed her: Amnon, Jonadab, David, and Absalom. We pair the ancient text with the recent Cornell 7 case to ask what hasn’t changed in 3,000 years, and what has to change now.

Saul and the Witch of Endor

A king abandoned by God. A witch the law says must die. A ghost who offers no forgiveness. In the final sermon of our 1 Samuel series, the most unlikely person in the room might be the one who shows us what God is really like.

Jonathan and David

David and Goliath

In this message from Paradox Church, Craig walks through 1 Samuel 17 with the Dead Sea Scrolls open on the table: Goliath's actual height, the ancient practice of champion warfare, and the contradiction in 2 Samuel 21 that forced Israel to rewrite its own history 300 years later.

That the Works of God Might Be Seen in Them

"Who sinned, this man or his parents?" That's the question that opens John 9 — and it's a question that still gets asked, in different words, about anyone whose body or identity doesn't fit the frameworks we're handed.

In this guest message, Esther Loewen — a licensed marriage and family therapist and former pastor — walks through three places where the story of the man born blind in John 9 echoes her own experience, and the experience of many trans people today: being treated as a puzzle to solve rather than a person, the holiness of embodied transformation, and the demand to testify again and again before being believed. Esther shares pieces of her own transition story and ends with a question for the whole church to sit with: if God were doing something sacred in the life of a trans person, would you be able to see it?
