When Jesus withdrew in Luke 5, we see the word 'wilderness' used in some translations. A word that speaks to things lacking cultivation or off limits to most. But this is where Jesus went to pray. In this message, Ps Brandon speaks to what happens between the withdraw and the return. When we go into a place of silence or solitude, what is running wild in the wilderness of our lives? The places we...

This year we will focus on the Withdraw & Return pattern of Jesus. That we leave to pace and demands of life to abide in the peace and power of Jesus. It is what Jesus did even as the crowds surrounded him and the sick came to him.. he often withdrew to pray ( Luke 5:16 ). Check out our digital prayer guide or download the pdf . As John Mark Comer says, “In the chaos of the urban, digital age,...

What a way to start the new year with special guest Lucas Connell! It was a powerful day hearing the way Jesus sets us free and how we can activate that in our own life. Take a listen and then check out afreedomexperience.com for more on what Lucas Connell does around the world.

This year and as we continue our journey toward 2020, our hope is for our city to Jesus in you, me, and us. To see Jesus in the stories of people who have overcome, found identity, discovered calling, and find freedom in community. We are convinced that the more you, me, and us look like Jesus, the more our city will. The more our streets will. The more our neighborhoods, workplaces, and families...

Paul told young Timothy to "fan into flame the gift". We should all live with passion. With a fire in our gut that fuels our lives. And that gift sits between faith and fear. What will fuel your passion and gift in life?

We are created to be a reflection of Jesus on the earth. To be responsible for his creation. And being responsible is what gives you the ability to respond! We are called to reflect.

Between sandwich bites and red lights, Brandon and Scott take some time to talk about this wknds message... specifically the idea that we are formed in following Jesus and that every destination we see requires a transformation in us. Feel free to leave us a voice message and maybe we’ll add it to next week’s Lunch Break. And definitely take a listen to the full message!

Why are we here? And who are we while we're here? This week we stepped into a new series around living a life of purpose and calling. But we wanted to make sure we didn't get ahead of ourselves.. so we started at step one. For every destination, there is a call to transformation. Listen as we get into one a key idea when it comes to calling... the forming of our lives happens in the following of J...

One of the hallmarks of the people in Acts was boldness when empowered by the Holy Spirit! Is that what our life is marked by? How can we exhibit boldness as we live out our lives being led by the Holy Spirit? His fullness in our lives should bring about boldness in our life.

Jesus said wait. He said it would be better when he left. That the disciples would receive POWER when the Holy Spirit shows up. But what happens? Why is it better? Why should we wait? Because as the Holy Spirit works in our lives, He produces fruit and gives gifts. Both different. Both necessary.

We are a culture that obsesses about the shape of our lives. Do we have this or that? Did we look the part? Do I have enough talent or gifting? But what if that wasn't what it was all about? What if God had plans for what would actually give your shape LIFE! In Genesis 2 and in Acts 2 we see God breathe into the shape of Adam and the shape of the church. It wasn't until he breathed life into the b...

As we transition from our Teach Us To Pray series to a series of talks around the Holy Spirit, we look at the way Jesus ends his teaching on prayer in Luke 11. He says, "If you then, though you are evil, know how to give good gifts to your children, how much more will your Father in heaven give the Holy Spirit to those who ask him!" Jesus wanted us to know, that when he left this earth He would se...

We had such an amazing time with Special Guest Colin Blois from C3 Philly, which is launching in 2020. What an amazing question for you and I... "Is life a gift or a test?" The answer to that question will shift so much in our everyday living. We pray your encouraged as you listen! Want to find out more about C3 Philly and Colin and Beth Blois? Visit c3philly.co.

We get to hear from Pastors Brandon & Meredith as they tag team the last Sunday of our Teach Us To Pray series. You will be encouraged and inspired as we tackle some big questions we all ask surrounding prayer.

So what comes after the Lord's Prayer? What other principles does Jesus give the disciples that we can learn from? Well, it's one that all three year olds know well. Shameless persistence. Audacity. Brashness. Not necessarily words you would always associate with prayer. But it's there. Jesus says it. So what does that tell us about prayer and the character of God? Take a listen!

We love the voices rising up in our church! And we believe that is how it should always be. So we picked five people to share for five minutes around the topic of prayer. We know that you will enjoy what they have to say! So take a listen to John McCurdy, Christina Bradford, Will Meier, Mary Beavers, and Steve Woessner.

What does the Lord's prayer teach us about who God is and about his posture towards us in prayer? Listen in as we talk about the second half of the Lord's prayer and what it teaches us about prayer, including the character and goodness of God. We'll be in Luke 11.

How many of us know more about prayer than we actually practice in prayer? Well then aren't you glad the disciples asked Jesus how to pray? The disciples watched Jesus do and teach amazing things. And they began to connect some dots. So they asked him, "Teach us to pray." It was the only thing they asked him to teach them how to do. But the model was not just in what Jesus told them but in what he...

We often want things to happen suddenly so we do something suddenly. But the reality is most 'all of the sudden' moments happen because something had been happening continually. Acts 2 we read about the sudden sound of the Holy Spirit but we find in Acts 1 that united prayer had been happening continually. Why should that matter to us? Take a listen and find out!

What should you do on Father's Day? How about, pick five great guys and let them talk about life, family, purpose and what fatherhood means to them. This is a really great conversation! Check it out.

We close out our series on hope by circling back to where we started and addressing three primary ways we can restore hope in our lives. And here's a hint: it's all about Jesus!

Have you ever tried to hold on to hope alone? What this hope we have is meant for us to hold together, not just you? Hope is held together. With community. How can we live together in a way that creates and holds on to hope?

Your hope is reserved in heaven.. and when you know you have a reservation, you have a different way of reacting to your current circumstance.

You know you are anchored when you feel the tension. And the tension tells you what you are tethered to. It is a place of discovery and testing. Do not despise the tension. Paul tells us embracing the pressure is where we develop character, which produces hope!

Far too many of us look to the stillness of the waves for our hope rather than the security of the anchor that lies below them. This hope is meant to secure us through all seasons and in all storms. What is THIS hope that we have and how is it different than THAT hope the world tells us about?
