Teaching
We gather around the scriptures to learn the unfolding story of God.
In Kansas City – Jeremiah 29:4-14
Globalization, economic disparities, and the digital revolution have developed a growing sense of rootlessness, dislocation, and displacement; we are a restless people. Throughout the biblical narrative, the People of God have had many exilic experiences, but as the Prophet Jeremiah advises, our God can be found even when we are far from home.
Together – Assorted Scripture
As evident in the scriptures, Jesus believed in the church. We believe that church is family and so every year we want to revisit how we participate in this family or do this whole Jesus thing together. Participants in the Midtown Community are asked to commit to five things; (1) Reveal the Kingdom of Jesus, (2) Belong to a Microchurch, (3) Gather on Sundays, (4) Serve, and (5) Being Generous.
Revealing the Kingdom of Jesus – Mark 1:14-15
In a world that is vying for our ultimate allegiance, the announcement of Jesus offers an alternative: “The Kingdom of God is at Hand, repent and believe” (Mark 1:15). The Gospel of the Kingdom is an invitation to live in the way of God in the community of God as the Kingdom of God; will we give our allegiance to God?
