A Seattle Church

God has chosen us for relationship with him. The question is if we will choose to love him back. If we will also love those God has called us to? In partnership with Pastor Don Lee from World Vision, Pastor Tyler encourages us to consider how God is inviting our church to "remember the poor." To begin afresh by sponsoring children together from 2 villages in Zimbabwe.

Pastor Tyler looked at the stories of Jesus healing Jairus’ daughter and the bleeding woman who touched his garment. He invited us to consider how we can live boldly in the healing ministry of Jesus. How we can bring our vulnerability to Christ for healing, as well as helping others to do the same. To take heart in Christ’s healing for us and others today and in the age to come.

Forgiveness involves four key relationships: from God to you, you to yourself, you to others, and others to you. Struggles often arise in believing in, receiving, and extending forgiveness, as well as accepting it from others. Drawing from Mark 2:1-12, which illustrates Jesus’ authority to forgive sins and heal, the sermon emphasizes that forgiveness is crucial for overcoming brokenness and foster...

Pastor Tyler outlines six ways to take heart from Christ’s presence: Jesus’ intentional presence with His disciples, His reassuring words, His invitation for faith, His immediate rescue of Peter, His calming of the storm, and the disciples' recognition of His divinity. He emphasizes that Christ’s presence overcomes fear and doubt, urging believers to focus on Jesus rather than their worries. The s...

Pastor Chris Griffith explores the theme of unity within the church, particularly in the face of societal divisions and diverse opinions. It starts by highlighting the current climate of division and contrasts it with the idea of the church as a place of unity, as envisioned by God. His message emphasizes that true unity goes beyond superficial slogans or labels; it involves genuine connection and...

Brice dives into spiritual warfare, emphasizing the reality of a spiritual battle that Christians face, highlighting the importance of unity and the need to "put on the full armor of God" to stand against evil forces. This message explores various reactions people have towards spiritual warfare, ranging from excitement and skepticism to fear and anger. It stresses the importance of understanding b...

In the church, we often divide via our pleasures. We live in spite of one another because our lives are often defined by trying to “live the dream” in the eyes of others. Self-protective fears of not being happy enough lead us to chose ourselves over others. Instead, we are called to re-unite in the body of Christ. In needing and giving ourselves to one another to grow. Bearing with one another to...

In the church, we often divide via our sources of power. We live in spite of one another because our lives are defined by the strength of our associations. We try to “make a life for ourselves” in natural ways that reflect the world. Defining ourselves by walking out-of-step from God’s presence. Self-protective fears lead us to trust our resumes, social acceptance, and bank accounts. Instead, we a...

In the church, we often divide via our Preservation. We live in spite of our neighbors because our lives are defined by trying to fit in to Christian community. This self-protective fear of not being fed enough is insatiable. It leads us to never share our faith with those who don’t know Jesus. Instead, we are called to re-unite in our call to be one that the world would know who sent us. To our s...

In the church, we often divide via our performances. We live in spite of one another because our lives are defined by trying to “justify ourselves” in the eyes of God and others. Self-protective fears of not being enough lead us to compete. Instead, we are called to re-unite in Christ’s sacrifice. Not by our our works but by his grace. To remember that we have a loving Savior in Heaven that we can...

“The Father’s love is an all-encompassing embrace that creates unity amid diversity and draws us into the one family of God.” - Brennan Manning We must seek healing of our relational wounds, if we want to be as spiritually united “as we are” in the One Body of Christ.  If we don't let God work on our inner life and trust structures, then our outer life will be one of defensive combativeness and di...

Grief is a fundamental part of the human experience. It’s the ever present reminder that we live in a broken world. It’s the ache from deep within us and the prevailing sense that things are not right. In the midst of our grief, if we’re honest, it can sometimes be hard to see God in it. To know he is there and to trust that he cares. Like David, we believe you can find God’s strength in your grie...

How do we come together in a world that’s coming apart? Jesus has invited us to the party. To bring our lean, but submit our bow.

Pursuing Friendship in Christ is not just a Convenience, it’s a Command, But what does true biblical friendship look like?

Pentecost Sunday: Transformation by God’s Power is Possible. Pastor Tyler shares Three Upper Rooms found in scripture, one of fear, one of faith, and one filled with God's Power.

Who most provokes you to anger? What do you do when someone angers you? How do you respond to being provoked? With our Anger, we are faced with choices between Life and Death. Retaliation or Redemption, Frustration or Forgiveness. Groupthink or Growth. David's Choices in 1 Sam 24 Point Us to Christ's Forgiveness  Grace is what David modeled. What Jesus would gave perfectly to us. His enemies. Jesu...

What are you hyper-focused on? What is the soundtrack of your life?  Problem isn’t that God isn’t speaking, but that we don’t have the capacity to notice.

Passivity is Easier….For Me, For You, For Now... But when God is calling us to take full responsibility for our life and faith and the communities, he has called us to lead and serve

Hannah's trust in God's bigger and greater plan despite her immediate pain is worth considering. Where could we live like she embodied Christ's trust in the Father.
