Catch The Fire Church RaleighA New Hope | Justin RifeThis Sunday, Justin Rife took us through John 21, where the resurrected Jesus appears to His disciples once again. After a night of disappointment, Jesus meets them on the shore, prepares a meal, and welcomes them with compassion. For Peter, this moment is not just another encounter but a deeply personal restoration. Around a charcoal fire, the very setting where he once denied Jesus, Peter is given three invitations to reaffirm his love and receive a renewed calling. The resurrection was never just about the empty tomb, but Jesus stepping into our shame, restoring our identity, and commissioning us again. When...2025-05-0647 min

Old Books with GraceMeeting Zwingli the Reformer with Stephen EccherZwingli is one of those names that floats around the ether--but in comparison to his more famous reforming counterparts, like Luther or Calvin, he doesn't get brought up much.

Stephen Brett Eccher is Associate Professor of Church History and Reformation Studies at Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary in Wake Forest, North Carolina, where he has taught since 2012.

Raleigh Mennonite ChurchFollow the Water of Life – Feb 9, 2025Romans 6: 3-4
What does it mean to baptized into Jesus' death or walking in the newness of life? Melissa Florer-Bixler unpacks this passage in Romans by explaining some of the symbolism of baptism, the three fold nature of baptisms, and what this means for us as Christians and Anabaptists.
The water used in baptism is ubiquitous in our lives and essential for life, yet we can drown in only a few inches of it. Water is death and life within one substance. Our submersion represents a death of self that somehow still connects us to...2025-02-1011 min

Through this parable, we were reminded of the vastness of God’s mercy, the requirement of forgiveness and the unholy matrimony with duplicity. We see in this story a king who forgave an astronomical debt, but the forgiven servant who fails to extend that same grace to others. As believers, we are called to not only forgive but to mirror the likeness of Jesus — the compassionate King.
