Beyond the Building

This week we look at John 13 and Jesus' actions during the Passover meal as He humbly washes His disciples' feet. We see through His example that love should be the motive behind our service, leading us to live with humility and a servant-hearted attitude. Jesus models what it looks like to put others before ourselves and calls His followers to do the same. Listen in as Jeff, Amaya, Blessi...

This week we look at Matthew 6:25-34 and Jesus' teaching on worry and trust. We see through His words that God cares deeply for His children and faithfully provides for their needs. Even when life feels uncertain and overwhelming, we are called to trust in God's goodness and provision, believing that He is in control of every detail of our lives. Listen in as Ian, Miranda, and Hailea share...

This week we look at Mark 5 and the woman who had been suffering from bleeding for 12 years. We saw through her life that even when she was desperate and losing hope, she continued to seek. She found herself in a crowd, motivated to simply touch the hem of Jesus' garment believing that there was power for healing in His "wings." Listen in as Ian, Homero, Jacob and Jeff share their ta...

This week we started a summer series (Questions that Change Everything) where we are looking at different questions that Jesus asked and how they still matter to us today. This week we looked at Jesus question to His disciples in Matthew 16:13-18. Jesus first asked a "crowd" question, Who do people say I am. Then He asks a personal question, one that we all must answer for ourselves, "Who do YOU s...

This week we wrap up Titus by looking at chapter 3. In this chapter we see Paul give Titus some "postures" we need to take to be a gospel-moving people. He reminds them to be subject to authority, obedient, to be ready to do whatever is good, to not be slanderers or gossips, to be peaceable and considerate, and always to be gentle toward EVERYONE. We also see that the reason we take these postures...

This week we were in Titus 2. We saw through this chapter that Paul instructed Titus and us to not only establish leaders who were living out the sound doctrine they proclaimed but that he was establishing an intergenerations gospel moving strategy that would make clear that everyone who calls on the name of Christ has a role to play in moving the gospel. We also learned about how God's grace does...

This week we started a new series on the book of Titus. We saw through chapter 1 that Paul had left Titus on the Island of Crete to advance the gospel and grow the Church. Crete was known for being a rough place where the people were described as lying, evil, lazy brutes and so Paul gave Titus a list of qualifications to look for in the leaders that were Monday-Sunday qualifications. He instructed...

This we looked at the great commission from Matthew 28:18-20. We learned that this commission wasn't just for the disciples Jesus was speaking to or just for missionaries and pastors but that it is for everyone who calls on the name of the Lord. That means wherever we are "as we go" we are striving to represent the One who sent us. We saw that a "sent" life is accomplished...

This we looked at the life of Caleb in Numbers 13 & 14 and Joshua 14. Through his life we learned that a wholehearted devotion/faith sees what others cannot because we see the faithfulness and size of our God as being greater than any obstacle or opposition we will ever face. We learned that living with wholehearted devotion even in the waiting for God's promises produces more boldness and...

This we looked at James 1:1-4 and Romans 5:3-5 and saw that the difficulties that we are going through now, or that we will go through are developing something that nothing else can develop. We saw that when we frame our struggles through lens of knowing who God is and what God is capable of we can face them with a joy and a hope that is rooted not in an outcome but in the truth of the power and a...

This week at Compass Worship we finished up our "Just Tell Me Already" series. We focused on the principle of if we are pursuing His person, then we should wisely pursue our passions. We then looked at four ways God has given us to wisely pursue our passions; running everything through the filter of His Word, leaning into the presence of His Spirit, having a counsel of close spiritual co...

This morning at Compass Worship we leaned into the idea that waiting on the Lord is expected, expectant, and intentional. We were able to worship, and learn this morning from the Word and an expended time of lifting our voices and hearts to the Lord as we surrendered and invited Him to move in our lives. Listen in as some of this week's worship team; Bri, Ani, Owen, Kari, Braylon join Ian to s...

We continued building on the foundational truth that God's will is more about who you are becoming than it is where you go or what you do.

We focused on the truth that Jesus is the only unshakeable hope that we have in this life, everything else that we try to put our hope in will ultimately fail us and leave us drifting. We looked at...

This week at Compass Worship we continued our 10:10 Life series by focusing on the power of Jesus. We saw through Paul and John the Baptist that a powerful life is a life acknowledges weakness. We learned that God's power is made perfect in our weakness therefore to display a fullness of God's power in our lives we need to make much of Jesus and less of ourselves. Since most of our student...
