Microcosm

microcosm

Our current teaching series / worship gathering theme at The Freeway is called: “microcosm.” Influenced by our understanding of mission as found in Luke 10:1-12, we will examine seven traits of The Freeway’s mission over the course of seven weeks as follows:

  • Cultured: We immerse ourselves in the current culture without becoming a product of it. We want to create, influence, and subvert culture.
  • Neighboured: We are committed to the local. We try our best to love our neighbours [and our neighbourhood], especially those who are marginalized, disenfranchised, and disregarded.
  • Partnered: We are in this together [proximity, deep relationships, networked].
  • Storied: We want to listen more and talk less. Listening to other people’s story and connecting their story with God’s amazing story, changes us.
  • Shared: Everything we own is God’s and we need to share our lives with others [generosity & hospitality].
  • Normalized: The church community is simply a catalyst for transforming everyday actions and priorities [“go” instead of “attract”]. We believe that the Spirit of God is at work in the lives of everyday people in everyday environments.
  • Kingdomized: We want to be an active part of living out and naming the Kingdom that Jesus established here on earth [shalom].
