Community Evolving

Evolving Awareness

This message is the second-to-last of Leah's teachings in the "Community Evolving" series. As the series comes to a close, we're looking at a couple of connected incidents in the book of Acts, with the hope that they may serve as a kind of case study in what collective evolution can look like. This first is a look at an incident in Acts 10, as the Spirit brings together two characters in a surprising way.

Evolving Traditions

In this teaching, Leah continues the "Community Evolving" series, considering the role tradition plays in our personal and collective spiritual evolution. Shared in the midst of Advent 2022, Leah focuses on the nativity story in Matthew, and considers how that story is part of an evolving spiritual tradition, as well as how we can continue to participate in our traditions evolving.

Evolving Models

In this third teaching in the “Community Evolving” series, Leah considers the implications of how a change in thinking impacts how we live and practice faith. We look at the way in which Jesus challenged the models of his day and encouraged his followers to be open to new ones to best serve the new things God was doing in his day, as we consider how Haven can continue to evolve our ways of gathering and practicing Jesus-centered faith.

Leah shares the second teaching in the "Community Evolving" series, considering one potential model for how people often develop in their worldviews, including their spirituality. She also looks at how we may see that same progression evident in the life of Jesus, inviting us to evolve as he did.

Community Evolving; An Introduction

In this new series, Leah invites Haven into an exploration of how growth and change can be an important part of our spiritual and communal life, considering the ways in which we are individually evolving, as well as the evolving we are doing communally. This first teaching introduces the topic and considers how our tradition points to a faith that grows and shifts over time, using the Apostle Paul as one example.
