As we continue our series, we dive into Jesus' prophesied name, "Mighty God". What does it mean for Jesus to be Mighty and for Him to also be "God"? What implications does that have for our lives? At times, it can be tempting to only want the "Mighty" part but maybe not the "God" part. How do we ensure that we honor both parts of this name for our Unexpected King?

As we enter the season of Christmas and the celebration of the birth of our savior, we start our new series looking into Isaiah 9's prophecy about who Jesus was supposed to be. As a king arriving into the scene, he was definitely not what people expected. Isaiah gives Jesus 4 names, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, and Prince of Peace. Over the next few weeks we will dive into thes...

As Jesus closes his sermon on the mount, he gives three images that describe the importance of putting everything he has taught into practice. What decisions will we make and how will we make changes in our lives to become the people that God has called us to be?

Why do we worry? Why do we judge? Today we talk about the importance of perspective and why it is critical to see things with "good eyes" versus "bad eyes".

As we continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount, Wes and Evan share about what it means to put your treasures in heaven. How do we avoid putting too much treasure here even in the church? How do we actually stop worrying about what is going on in our lives?

What does it actually mean to be righteous? As Jesus continues his sermon on the mount, he calls his followers to have righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees. Is that actually possible? What does that look like for us today? Join us as we continue our study on the Sermon on the Mount and talk about Real Righteousness.

We are called to stand out, but not just for the sake of standing out. We stand out to impact the lives of those around us for the better. This week as we continue our study through the sermon on the mount, we look at the last beatitude as well as Jesus' illustration of calling his followers salt, light, and a city on a hill.

What does it mean to be pure of heart? Why is it such a big deal? What does it look like to be a peace maker? And why do they get to be called the Children of God? Join us as we continue our study this week through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.

As we continue in our series, we ask the questions: What does it mean to hunger and thirst for righteousness? What does it actually mean to be righteous? Why is mercy important for God's kingdom?

Blessed are the meek. What does that mean? Does Jesus want his kingdom to be full of pushovers and doormats? Today we explore what being meek actually means and how being meek isn't being weak.

With all the problems there are to solve in the world and everyone vying for our commitment and allegiance, what are we as Jesus followers to do? As we begin this new series, we open up the Sermon on the Mount and study out what Jesus' kingdom is supposed to look like and how we are to align ourselves with Him.

As we enter a turbulent political season, how are we, as followers of Christ supposed to act and respond to the culture around us? What are we ultimately called to do and what is God's expectation of us as his people? Guest speaker and author, Michael Burns, breaks down our calling to be image bearers of God and how we are to avoid falling into the traps of the political games of Babylon.

As we conclude our study of Ephesians, Paul spends some time talking about how we are to interact with one another in our various roles and why it is important that, as Christians, we stand out and live differently than the world around us. Paul then transitions into talking about how we are to partner with God and put on the whole armor of God as we face evil and fight alongside our God to bring...

Continuing our study in Ephesians, Paul begins to list a bunch of rules and expectations for the church in Ephesus. Why are there so many rules? Why does Paul make such a big deal about it that he "insists" that we follow? Today we explore how the day to day life of disciples does matter and why if it didn't, then church wouldn't matter either.

With all that goes on in the world and everything that we can be divided over, why is it so important that christians are unified? As we continue our study through Ephesians, Paul shifts his focus from God's plan of the gospel, to how the disciples in Ephesus were to live because of the gospel. Niah explores the implications of this for us in church today and how we are called to live in unity...

Loving one another, being patient, forgiving one another, these are all high callings for Christians. How are we supposed to balance all that, plus our normal daily lives? Today we look at Paul's prayer for the Ephesian church and his reminder that where we draw our strength and power from matters if we want to be able to live out God's vision for His church.

We are kicking off a new series: Why Church Matters. What is the big deal about church? As we dig into the Book of Ephesians we hope to draw out why we were called to come together as believers rather than live out our faith on our own.

When it comes to using our gifts to honor God, what makes a worthy sacrifice? In a season where we are focused on giving, how do we know we are giving a gift that is worthy of Him? This week, Wes dives into the story of Cain and Abel and looks into what makes a gift worthy.

Everything has a purpose. Including us! What did Jesus mean when He said that we were the "salt of the earth" the "light of the world" and a "town on a hill"? What do those roles mean and how are we supposed to live them out? What is the role of christians and the church in regards to being a light to the world?

This week we are kicking off our season of missions, and we are starting a new series titled: Eyes That See. In the hustle and chaos of our daily lives it can be hard to see beyond ourselves. Today we talk about seeing God's heart for his children and how he wants to partner with us to bring the Gospel to the world, but in order to do so, we must first see the heart of our Father.

Congregational Service with Northside and Tribe worship centers! For the first time in 2 years we come together and talk about the collective vision for Austin Christian Church. As we move forward, we want to focus on walking as Jesus did. Dave and Brian discuss passages in Ephesians 4 and 5 and how to walk in the way of Jesus.

Is there anything with just wanting more? What is so wrong about being greedy? As we look at this story in Luke 12 about a man asking Jesus to take his side in a financial argument we look at what Jesus has to say about greed and maybe how it runs a little deeper than we might think.

Easter has come and gone. It is probably the pinnacle of Sunday Church services, but what happens after? The disciples seemed to struggle with what to do next after the resurrection. How do we keep from going back to "business as usual" after Easter? What is the path forward?

Happy Easter! Today we celebrate the resurrection of Jesus from the cross. But what does that mean exactly? Riley and Brian talk about recognizing what Jesus freed us from when He died on the cross and the new life that He frees us for.

As Easter is fast approaching, ever wonder what the big deal with Palm Sunday is? Why wave palm branches? Why was it a big deal that Jesus was riding a donkey? This week Christian talks through some of the significant cultural details of the event and what it means for us today.
