The Center of the Worshiping Community
Pastor Rick ends our series, "Leaving the Empire," by challenging our expectations for what our worshiping community should be. Drawing from Moses' last sermons to Israel and from the example of the Early Church, we are reminded that God is central and transformation is to be expected. (Deut. 6:4-5; Deut. 8:3; Acts 2:42; Phil. 1:6)

Dreams - Holistic - 10.26.2008
This was the second of four messages concerning the dreams that make up the focus on Tapestry. This week's message was from Deuteronomy 6:4-9. We believe that the Gospel impacts every area of a person's life and culture.

i Hear
There are some teachings in the Bible that we probably hear so often, that we become deaf to the very message contained therein. As a Jewish believer, Deuteronomy 6:4-5 (which was called the SHEMA-based on the first word of the verse) was a verse that you heard, memorized, and could recite from the earliest age onto adulthood. When Jesus was confronted by a teacher of the law, or lawyer, and asked what was the one greatest commandement, Jesus answered by quoting the SHEMA, "You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, mind, soul and strength," and adding from Leviticus 19, and "love your neighbor as yourself."
