Join The Table for our fall retreat to Highlands, NC, as we explore "The Empire of God." ⛰️ In a world of stark political divides and unsettling news, it’s easy to feel lost and disoriented. We've seen how empires, whether ancient or modern, are built on the principles of sovereignty, hierarchy, and justice that often serve a select few.
This retreat is an invitation to step away from the noise and rediscover a more faithful vision. We'll explore Jesus's teachings on the Kingdom of God—or as some scholars call it, the "Empire of God"—as a radical alternative to the world's way of doing things. We'll discuss how this "empire" is not a political party or a human government, but a divine movement that offers a different path to peace, a new kind of power, and a more expansive definition of justice.
In light of the complex and challenging context of the current Trump administration, we’ll ask what it truly means to follow Jesus and build God’s Kingdom here on earth. Come ready to challenge your assumptions, deepen your faith, and find hope in the truth that God’s empire is already at hand.
