A Neo-Monastic Life on Mission - Blessing
In this sermon podcast from The Village Church in Tucson, Pastor Eric continues our series on a neo-monastic life on mission by exploring the theme of blessing. He highlights three ways blessing is expressed in both the Old and New Testaments, seeing people, knowing people, and calling people out. Drawing from Genesis 1, Genesis 12, and several New Testament stories, he unfolds how these ideas shape our relationships and concludes with practical ways to live them out.
The Village Church’s sermon podcast is more than just a weekly message. It is an invitation into the great and ongoing story of God’s work in the world. Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other leaders open the Scriptures not as a collection of abstract ideas but as the living, breathing witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our midst. Each episode is a call—not merely to listen, but to take part, to step forward into the life of faith with renewed vision and purpose.
Week by week, the pastors and leaders explore the deep rhythms of Christian discipleship—prayer, fasting, generosity—not as isolated duties but as part of a larger, richer, and more beautiful whole. They unpack these ancient practices in light of Jesus himself, the one in whom heaven and earth have come together. But they also turn their attention to the realities of everyday life—relationships, finances, the struggles and joys of being human—demonstrating how the gospel is not merely about what we believe but about how we live as God's renewed people in the present age.
