In order to better reflect our value of Movement, we have decided to move The Line’s weekly update to http://facebook.com/thelinechicago. This will give you a unique opportunity to share what The Line is doing with your friends.

“But I don’t regularly check the Facebook,” you might say. Two solutions:

First, you might consider changing your homepage to our Facebook page (PC / Mac Instructions).
Second, you can simply visit http://facebook.com/ thelinechicago whenever you need a question answered. Write on our page. We promise we’ll respond!

Thanks for your continued interest! If you have any questions about this change, please email info@theline.org.

divine friendship: god wants his friends to bear fruit

michaelgoyee — Mon, 19 Jul 2010 18:06:14 +0000

The following sermon was preached on July 18th, 2010.

Preached by: Pastor Aaron Youngren
Text: John 15:1-17

This week, we see that God wants his friends to be fruitful.

Ultimately, questions of calling, relationship, marriage, etc., must be measured through the lens of fruitfulness. Instead of asking, “What do I want to do with my life?” the Christian asks, “How will God’s love best be poured into the world through me?”

The renewed Christian life, then, is a sort of best case scenario: Thriving in God, bearing undeserved fruit that comes from God’s love and sacrifice for the believer, and through the believer into the world.

divine friendship: god’s friend’s have peace

michaelgoyee — Sun, 11 Jul 2010 21:53:04 +0000

The following sermon was preached on July 11th, 2010.

Preached by: Pastor Aaron Youngren
Text: John 14:25-31

This week, we find that God’s friends have Peace.

Life inside and outside the Christian faith is filled with trial, hurt, and sorrow. In the midst of this unrest, we may look to many forms of peace which are, in the end, false.

The world’s peace isn’t. Each of these strategies falls short when one considers the prevalence, tenacity, and severity of unrest and evil in the world. Add to the equation the unrest and evil one finds in one’s own personal actions, and these strategies seem absurd.

Jeasus’ peace is. Jesus’ peace is true peace. Humanity will be in a state of unrest until it experiences a true change in nature and position. Humanity will experience true peace when it can truly thrive in relationship with its creator. This peace, called shalom, is precisely the peace Jesus has accomplished on the cross.
