How can humanity be renewed? And how might we experience personal renewal? This weekend we examine the journey of the first disciples and consider how following Jesus may provide a pathway toward our renewed future. 🦋 "The Renewed Image"

How do we win the culture wars-- Voting for the best politician? 🗽 Boycotting businesses? 💼 Controlling the media narrative? 📰
Maybe this isn't what Jesus wants from us after all. ♟ Sunday, "Outside Jerusalem" is the latest in "Remembering the Past. Reimagining the Future."

Baptism.
Is it entry into an exclusive group?
Is it a sign to the world that we have reconciled our inner contradictions?
"Deep waters," the latest message in the series "Remembering the past; Reimagining the future," premieres today. 💧

#Communion is a politically subversive symbol--not merely a sign of our relationship with Jesus. This week we look at "Communion as a Political Act" as we continue the series "Remembering the Past; Reimagining the Future." ���� https://t.co/UBlGoaHxcs

This weekend we reflect on preparing to encounter God in our lives, and preparing the way for others to do the same.

Beyond our tidy theological systems and our ecstatic experiences, John invites us to a vision of the boundless and uncontainable God. This Sunday, May 19 at 11am.

[TrinityHeightsChurch @Trinity_Heights]

"The word became flesh and made his dwelling among us." John makes this vast claim in the context of this appropriately vast story. Today we explore the story that loads this claim with meaning.

"By the power of the Spirit, our calling is to be Resurrection people, new creation people. We are bringing new signs of creation, all day and every day, so that the world may believe." #ntwrightinnyc

[TrinityHeightsChurch @Trinity_Heights]

"How can we not celebrate the goodness of the natural world and be penitent for what we have done with it?" #ntwrightinnyc

[TrinityHeightsChurch @Trinity_Heights]

This theology has immediate ramifications for or care of the planet. #ntwrightinnyc

[TrinityHeightsChurch @Trinity_Heights]

In Philippians 3, Jesus will come and transform our bodies. As "citizens of heaven" (in view of Roman citizens in disparate colonies) we are to be agents of civilization in all parts of the earth. #ntwrightinnyc

If you hear someone singing, "This world is not my home; I'm just passing through," remind them they're aping Plutarch, not Paul." #ntwrightinnyc

[TrinityHeightsChurch @Trinity_Heights]

"New creation is the real meaning of Easter. John had Genesis in mind all along in his gospel, and in the Resurrection we have the new Genesis." #ntwrightinnyc

[TrinityHeightsChurch @Trinity_Heights]

"The biblical hope is that the God who made the world will put it right at last." #ntwrightinnyc

[TrinityHeightsChurch @Trinity_Heights]

Wright likes the theory that we wear clothes in anticipation of being clothed with a new body. "It's the body God always dreamed you would be." #ntwrightinnyc

[TrinityHeightsChurch @Trinity_Heights]

"The early Christians weren't interested in where Christians were right after death." #ntwrightinnyc

[TrinityHeightsChurch @Trinity_Heights]

"When we talk about the resurrection, we're talking about a life *after* life after death." #ntwrightinnyc

[TrinityHeightsChurch @Trinity_Heights]

When someone dies, we often hear they are "going home to Jesus" or "raised to heaven like Jesus" without recognizing it's based in a Platonic view perpetuated by the pagan Plutarch. #ntwrightinnyc
