This Advent, we explore Jesus’ genealogy in Matthew 1, reflecting on ancestors who experienced exile and marginalization. Their stories reveal God’s redemptive plan through refugees and outcasts, challenging us to embrace the displaced with compassion, recognizing Christ in their lives and welcoming Him through our care.

The Evangelical Covenant Church is committed to joining God in God’s mission to see more disciples among more populations in a more caring and just world. Two historic questions have guided the Covenant in fulfilling this mission: (1) “Where is it written?” and (2) “How goes your walk?” As we strive to answer these questions as a denominational family today, we offer this curated resource as a place to begin and potentially enhance existing communal conversations in this polarized season. These resources can help establish a biblical foundation for challenging conversations and a framework rooted in our new life in Christ, informed by the life and ministry of Jesus.
Ideologies are beliefs that shape how we see, interpret, and engage the world. Ideologies are interpretive lenses that often explain how and why we understand the world in the ways we do, including the assumptions we make, the meaning we assign to things, and the stereotypes we hold about individuals, groups, cultures, and regions of the country and world. Ideologies are more powerful than we think, and they inform—at times dictate—how we read and interpret Scripture, love our neighbors, and engage civically and politically.
The Evangelical Covenant Church aims to join God’s mission for more disciples among diverse populations in a caring and just world. Guided by the questions, “Where is it written?” and “How goes your walk?”, we provide this curated resource to support and enhance communal conversations in today’s polarized season. These resources offer a biblical foundation for challenging discussions, rooted in our new life in Christ and informed by Jesus’ life and ministry.
