The Words of Life: The Narrow Gate
The Practice Church Podcast
During his ministry, Jesus repeatedly referred to himself as the Bread of Life. His words would have stirred echoes of the Torah: “Man does not live by bread alone, but by every word that comes from the mouth of the LORD.” Just as bread sustains the body, the words of the LORD nourish the soul. Yet, Jesus’s teachings were not always easy to digest. His words could be unsettling and paradigm-shifting, turning long-held beliefs on their heads. Some who heard him turned away. But Simon Peter recognized the truth. When others left, he confessed, “Lord, to whom shall we go? You have the...

Practice: Loving Our Political Enemies
The Practice Church Podcast
This is a reflective prayer practice that helps us respond to the teaching of Jesus in Matthew 5:43-48 to love our enemies. Here we specifically apply Jesus's teaching to our political enemies. How can we humbly recognize where we might be wrong? How can we acknowledge the virtue on those with whom we disagree, and how can we--with the help of Jesus--see those on the "other side" as beloved bearers of God's image? This practice flows from on 10.05.2025 and practices offered by the . If The Practice Church is your home community, please join the . If The Practice Church has been...
info_outlineIn this series, we will spend time exploring three miracles from the Gospel of Mark. Mark tells these stories as a way of revealing the identity of Jesus, but they are more than intellectual proofs of his divinity. These miracles beg for a response. We hope walking in these stories will be more than a learning experience. Our prayer is that we might encounter Jesus in all his creative, restorative love, and maybe even catch a glimpse of the miraculous work of Christ in our lives.
This week, we explored the story of two miracles. While on his way to ultimately raise a little girl from the dead, Jesus heals a woman who had been bleeding for 12 years. Nicole invited us to explore this story and consider how we are longing for the healing, restorative power of Jesus to flow into us. Especially as we walk in the in-between of this life.
