Did you know that Jesus and moms actually have a lot in common? They both can take scraps of food and make amazing meals. They both tend to use our first and last (and sometimes middle) name when we are in big trouble. And besides other fun things we talked about this Sunday, moms and Jesus both believe in us when we don’t even believe in ourselves.  We dove into a scripture that shows the heart o...

About 2,000 years ago, the global missions movement was launched out of a city called Antioch and led by a guy named Barnabas… or as we like to call him, Barney. Yes, like the purple dinosaur. But this Barney was a faith-filled encourager who helped carry the mission of Jesus to the nations. He believed in people, built the Church, and helped multiply the Gospel. And today, we’re still running wit...

This Sunday we jumped back into what is perhaps the most encouraging chapter in all of the Bible, Romans 8. We call it the “Great 8!” But is it too encouraging? What I mean is, sometimes if we are honest as believers, it can be hard to get excited about verses that say we are “more than conquerors,” when we feel like anything but conquerors.  Sometimes life is so hard that the gap between what we...

This week we are continuing our series, “A New Humanity”, going through the book of Romans and this week we are diving into one of the most profound chapters in the bible... Romans 8! Romans 8 reveals that one of the biggest struggles in our lives isn’t what we’re facing, but it’s in who we think we are. So many of us are living like we’re still trying out… still proving… still wondering if we bel...

This week we are in Romans 6 in our series, “A New Humanity”. This chapter unpacks the power of baptism, that when we go down into the water, it represents sin, shame, our past, etc being buried with Jesus. Sometimes in life one thing must die so another can live. So many of us are holding onto things, past mistakes, shame, old habits, things we just can’t seem to shake. This is the moment where G...

In Luke 23, Jesus hangs on the cross for us, but he’s not alone. There’s two criminals that hang there on their own crosses on Jesus’ right and left. As Jesus prays to the father, these two guys seem to interrupt the prayer and both have something to say to him. But their hearts could not be any more different toward Jesus. One mocks. The other asks for mercy. These two guys represent every person...

This weekend we continued our series in Romans, stepping into one of the most honest passages in the Bible. In Romans 7, Paul basically says, “I keep doing the things I know I shouldn’t… and I can’t seem to do the things I know I should.”  Which, if we’re being honest… sounds a lot like our relationship with donuts and the gym. But this isn’t just about habits. It’s about something deeper. All of...

This weekend we leaned into a subject that we often feel but don’t always have the words to express… The PRESSURE of every day life.  Have you been feeling any pressure in life lately? From work, to bills, to chores, to kids, to fitness and health, to family, to drama with people, to our past, to our future… Life can be heavy. And yet even when we’re giving life all we got, it’s easy to feel like...

Life runs on scoreboards. Followers, funding, fitness, career wins—we measure everything. From childhood we’re taught the same lesson: produce, perform, prove yourself. If your score is high enough, you matter. If not… try harder. But what if the gospel completely shatters that system? This Sunday we were in Romans 4 and the story of Abraham—a man who had more spiritual accomplishments than almost...

This week we jumped into Romans 3 in our series, “A New Humanity.” Paul, in chapter 3, gives us what some Bible scholars call the most important sentence in the Bible. It is the foundation of The Gospel, as it shows us where it all starts. Paul will encourage us to first “Look” at the human condition, to see how broken we really are on our own strength. He does this to help us “Lean” on, not our w...

Good news or bad news—what do you want first? Most of us want the good news first… but what if we can’t truly receive the good news until we’re honest about the bad? This week we continue our study through Romans in our new series, “A New Humanity” as we dive into Romans 2. We will be talking about a difficult, but freeing truth: religion can’t save you. We can know the Bible, go to church, avoid...

No matter where you are in life, thriving or struggling, addicted to drugs or religion, too confident in yourself or not confident enough in who Jesus has made you to be… The Gospel makes you new.  In fact, here is what the depths of the Gospel give us as a New Humanity…  1. A New Footing with God - “We are Justified” 2. A New Family with God - “We are Adopted” 3. A New Future with God - “We are E...

This Sunday we concluded our series, “The 7 Hour Walk” by jumping into “Corner” as the Captivate cultural practice of taking our faith outside the church building and into the world, neighborhood, office, and relationships God has placed us in.  If we’re honest, sharing Jesus with those outside the church can be a challenge. Sometimes we feel the pressure of needing to have the right answers or no...

One thing the Bible makes clear is that we are never to test God. But there is one place in scripture that God boldly calls us to test Him! He says, “Test Me and see what I will do for the person that trust me in this area, ” —generosity. God’s desire is to bless His people, that is abundantly clear, but He also desires to partner with us. This Sunday is far from a guilt-filled money talk— we will...
