Summer Slowdown: "Create" | Rachel Palmbush
<p>This week, Rachel’s sermon from our Summer Slowdown series makes a case that creativity isn't a talent reserved for a special few, but a core expression of what it means to be made in the image of a God who makes art. This message is an invitation to remember your truest identity: you are God's poema, and you were made to make beautiful things.</p><p><br></p><p>CHAPTERS</p><p>[00:00] - Welcome & Kids Ministry</p><p>[01:00] - The Story of Frederick</p><p>[03:43] - Series Intro: Summer Slowdown</p><p>[05:06] - Invitation to Doodle</p><p>[07:01] - Creativity Is for Everyone</p><p>[08:36] - In the Beginning, God Created</p><p>[11:01] - Humanity as Co-Creators</p><p>[12:49] - Recovering Our Wonder</p><p>[15:44] - Revelation's Colorful Vision</p><p>[18:45] - Becoming Like Children</p><p>[22:26] - We Are God's Handiwork</p><p>[25:23] - Practical Ways to Create</p><p>[29:04] - Closing Prayer</p><p><br></p><p>REFERENCES</p><p>[01:23] - <a href="https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/101916/frederick-by-leo-lionni/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Frederick by Leo Lionni</a>[07:01] - <a href="https://www.madeleinelengle.com/books/non-fiction/walking-on-water-reflections-on-faith-and-art/" rel="noopener noreferrer">Walking on Water: Reflections on Faith and Art by Madeleine L'Engle</a>[11:01] - <a href="https://timothykeller.com/books/every-good-endeavor" rel="noopener noreferrer">Every Good Endeavor by Tim Keller</a>[11:57] - <a href="https://emilypfreeman.com/a-million-little-ways/" rel="noopener noreferrer">A Million Little Ways by Emily P.

Summer Slowdown: "Play" | Josh Jewell-Horton
<p>What if play were a spiritual responsibility? In this week's message from the Summer Slowdown series, Josh Jewell-Horton makes the case that play is not a luxury for Christians but an act of deliberate rebellion against the empires of this world, and a bold anticipation of God's coming kingdom.</p><p><br></p><p>ncc.church</p><p><br></p><p>CHAPTERS</p><p>[00:00] - Welcome & Series Intro</p><p>[00:37] - Recap: Stop & Rest</p><p>[02:44] - Introducing Play</p><p>[04:29] - The Research on Play</p><p>[06:55] - Matthew 18: Who Is Greatest?</p><p>[09:34] - Two Marks of Childlikeness</p><p>[11:19] - Jesus as the Childlike One</p><p>[12:39] - Aslan's Resurrection Romp</p><p>[14:32] - Empire vs. Christ's Kingdom</p><p>[16:28] - Play as Participation in Creation</p><p>[18:14] - Play as Anticipatory Kingdom Living</p><p>[19:56] - Zechariah's Vision</p><p>[22:44] - Play Must Be Restorative</p><p>[25:04] - Morning Has Broken & Closing</p><p><br></p><p>REFERENCES</p><p>[03:36] - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/God-Who-Plays-Approach-Spirituality/dp/153260761X" rel="noopener noreferrer">The God Who Plays — Brian Edgar</a>[04:29] - <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Play_drive" rel="noopener noreferrer">Friedrich Schiller's Play Drive Theory — Wikipedia</a>[05:00] - <a href="https://nifplay.org/" rel="noopener noreferrer">National Institute for Play</a>[06:55] - <a href="https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Matthew+18%3A1-6&version=NIV" rel="noopener noreferrer">Matthew 18:1–6 (NIV) — BibleGateway</a>[09:34] - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Unfettered-Imagining-Childlike-Baggage-Western/dp/1587435055" rel="noopener noreferrer">Unfettered — Mandy Smith</a>[12:39] - <a href="https://www.amazon.com/Lion-Witch-Wardrobe-Chronicles-Narnia/dp/0060234814" rel="noopener noreferrer">The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe — C.S.
