ET_BLOGS

ET_BLOGS isn’t meant to be a place where we necessarily provide answers and theological doctrines, although you may find your theology stretched. It isn’t meant to simply update you on church activities, although you may be invited to join in. It isn’t just to make you more aware of community issues, although you may start to see God as much in the community as you do in the church. The hope of this space is that you will engage with us as we journey together in fully responding to who God is. We plan to have some regular contributors and some guest writers from time to time.

I found myself somewhat detached, somewhat disengaged from what the church’s motivations were, and the people around it. When I was asked to be a part of this Project, I...

What Are You Taking For Granted?

This past Sunday, Pastor Tim preached on Josh 5:9-12 and how for 40 years, the Israelites were blessed with manna from heaven to serve as food and sustenance during their time in the desert. It was a blessing that they came to take for granted to receive on a daily basis. Recall that the literal translation...
