Today Allan dives deeper into the story after Jesus' resurrection from the grave. What details have we missed in reading the story? What implications do those details have for us today?

What is so good about the Good News? How can we help others learn about it? John follows Paul's journey through the book of Acts and highlights the ways that we, as Followers of Jesus should share and respond to the Good News of Jesus.

We appreciate our freedom and we celebrate it each year. We know freedom wasn't free, but as followers of Christ, what are we supposed to do with our freedom? As we look today at the story of Paul, Silas and the Philippian Jailer, we see hints of what we are called to use our freedom for. Not for ourselves, but for others.

Taking a break from our Transformed Series this week. It is important to take time to stop, reflect, and recalibrate. Often times we can feel ourselves becoming so busy that, despite the best of intentions, we make choices that don't actually reflect what is best. Today we look at the a story during Jesus' life where he challenges one of his followers to choose what is best. This is a call...

What happens when we make one to many mistakes? Is it still possible for God to use us? Is it true that we can be "too far gone"? Today we look at the story of Paul's conversion and how Jesus was able not only to redeem him, but to redeem his story as well and use it as a powerful testimony for God's redemptive work. Not only that, but we will also take a look at the role of beli...

The Christian walk is not a singular moment of transformation. Rather it is a continuous process. It isn't pleasant but how do we lean into the process rather than shy away from it? Today, we look into the interesting story of Simon the Sorcerer, and try to answer the question of how do we continue to lean into the refining process.

Obedience is not a word that is very popular today. Living in a country where we love to be our own boss and freedom is paramount, how do we as Christians balance living free while still living in submission to our Lord? Today we dive into the challenging topic of obedience, especially when things don't make sense or are difficult.

As we continue our series, Transformed, we dive into the story of Stephen, a christian who was chosen to wait on tables, but became the symbol of courage and faith in the face of persecution. What drove him to stand up for his faith, even in the face of certain death? How can we be transformed to have the same level of courage?

Everyone who encountered Jesus was transformed. Pentecost was one such event where many people were dramatically changed after turning to Jesus. But what does that mean for us today? Christian talks about how we can experience our own drastic transformations today.

We hear a lot about hell and about earth, but how often do we actually talk about Heaven? Is it just a place to sit on clouds and float around all day? Is it actually a better place? Allan shares today about what he's been learning about Heaven and why it is a place that we should all be looking forward to.

Part of learning to be more like our Rabbi means answering the call to follow Him. But that doesn't always lead us to places we want to go or to do things that we want to do. How do we reconcile these challenges and follow Jesus anyways?

When Jesus called his disciples, he asked them to follow him. How do we live this out today? Jesus described himself as the vine and that we are to abide in Him. What does that look like and how do we do it?

What does it mean to be a a disciple? According to the rabbinical tradition during the time of Jesus, it meant something quite different than what we might think it means today. What does it look like to follow Jesus today?

As we finish our series today, we talk about our calling to be the One Body of Christ. But what does that actually mean in practice? Just to show up to church? To meet once a week in small groups? What is the purpose of the body and how do we function together? What does it mean to be unified and live together in a way that honors Jesus and fulfills his calling for us?

As we continue our series, the Journey, Allan teaches about the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. How do we connect with it? What did God intend for it to do in our lives? How were we meant to live and walk with the Holy Spirit as we continue our journey?

As we continue our series, the Journey, today, Niah talks about our One Hope as Christians. There are many things that we can all put our hope in: careers, relationships, money, politics. But what should we actually put our hope in? What does it practically mean to hope in something? Is it just wishful thinking or something more?

As we continue our journey we discuss baptism. Why is it important? What does it signify and why would God ask us to do it? Is it more than just an act or a checklist item?

Jesus is Lord. It's a really easy thing to say, but what does that actually mean? What are the implications of Jesus being Lord over our life? How do we maintain that posture when things don't go well or don't go the way we want? Today we talk about what lordship looks like and what Jesus asks of us as we continue our Journey series.

As we continue our journey, what does it mean to grow in our faith? Where does faith come from and how do we get more of it? How are we called to live out our faith in a way that is worthy of the calling we have received as Jesus' followers?

Today we kick off our new series: The Journey as we talk about the calling we have received as followers of Christ and what it looks like to live it out. Today, Trey and Carlos explore what it means to walk according to our calling and how, just as God sought us out, we are called to seek Him, and partner with Him to seek others.

We all have times of transition and in-between spaces in our lives and most of us wish we didn't! They are uncomfortable and create fear and anxiety and we would honestly rather go back to what was comfortable or try to forge ahead. But in doing so, we can miss out on what God is trying to do in that space. Today we talk about the Israelites journey through that season in the desert and how it...

As a family it can be easy to focus on what is happening inside the church, and we definitely need to take care of each other. But we are also called to take care of those in need around us. Today, Allan talks about our call as followers of Jesus to serve those around us and be an extension of God's love to those in need.

As we kick off our new year and our new series: Re-Engage, Dave talks about what it means to re-engage in the mission that God has given us. What have we been commissioned as his people to do and what does that look like in our day to day lives?

What does it mean to practice discipleship? Why can we feel disengaged in our christian walk? Today we talk about what it means to stay engaged in our discipleship and why it isn't just about your own personal walk but how we need each other for the journey.

As we start the new year, we talk about what it means to lead and how everyone should be a leader, not just in title, but also in action and in how we set examples for each other.
