Captivate Podcast

Sometimes we get so comfortable with worshipping our idols that God's call  makes us respond in a way that we never would if He was actually on the throne in our lives.

The truth is there is a lot of division in the church today, and we will be unpacking what really divides us as we touch on subjects like politics, alcohol, race, homosexuality, and even Dodger fans. 

It's wild to read about how "on-fire" the first believers were as the church began. Ask yourself these questions, “How do I become a committed follower of Jesus like that? How do I truly transform?" Well, this next week's section of Acts lays out powerfully how we truly transform and we cannot wait to share it with you!

Join us as we jump head first into the book of Acts! We believe that this study together will mess us up in the best way possible. God's on the move in our church and we can't wait to take a deep dive into Acts 1 with you as we hear a message titled, "The Church Begins." We will learn how to grab ahold of a message we are wiling to die for in order to spread it to the world that needs it.

Throughout this series we’ve been examining not only the fact that Jesus came, but also the way in which He came. In this message, we’ll be looking at how Jesus walks with us in what can be one of the most challenging things for believers to understand: when our prayers go unanswered. We’ll take a look at how God, through his infinite love and wisdom, uses things even as difficult as unanswered pr...

The Christmas Story sheds so much light on how deeply our Heavenly Father wants to enter in and heal what’s troubling us most in life. We'll see that when we learn to rely on God in the midst of adversity, a faith is built within us that God can use to help change the world around us.

Too often, we give our life fighting for something that Jesus already gave His life to fight for. Listen in as we talk about how to live knowing that our earthly status does not affect the significance that God has placed on our lives. 

The truth is, we are surrounded by darkness in our culture. But we know that light always overcomes darkness! We will talk about what it looks like to live as “light” for Jesus in a dark world so others can see him high and lifted up.     

We are continuing our series, “The Forgotten Ways” with a message called, “Unity.” Our culture and its leaders are doing a poor job of this right now and the truth is, the unity of the church is not much better.  In this message we will look at how unity over our Jesus will be how the world will truly see Him and know He’s alive. Listen in as we unpack more of it with you. 

Vulnerability can be hard for us, but in church we often do not get the healing we really need because we do not come as the person we really are.  This message is called "Unfiltered" where we learn what filters we often use with each other and how to take them off. Listen in as we unpack it more with you. 

This weekend we have our first "Commitment Sunday" in our End Spiritual Loneliness Project as we, the people of Captivate, together lay sacrifices before God and ask him to use them in a powerful way!

Jesus teaches us in the book of Lue that offense, or being hurt by others, is unavoidable. And the enemy would want nothing more than to use those moments of offense, or pain, to drive you out of relationships and community and into loneliness. There is hope though! Although we can’t fully avoid offense, Jesus lays out a very specific game plan to help us defend agains allowing the pain of offense...

Join us this week as we continue our series, End Spiritual Loneliness. This week we will discuss how the enemy uses loneliness to have victory in our lives. As the enemy leads us away from God he loves to tell us we deserve things that lead us away from our destiny. Temptation is all around us, and this week we will talk about exposing it in a message called "Temptation in Isolation."

Join us this week as we kick off our brand new family project, End Spiritual Loneliness. End Spiritual Loneliness is our new anthem for this season. It’s a vision from God, that we not only want to talk about, but act on. Today we will talk about 3 ways we will make space as a church over the next 2 years to help invite people into heaven here and in heaven. 

Join us this week for a new message titled, Miracles are His Memorials! This weekend we turn 3 years old as a church and we get to thank God for all he has done in this past few years! It's wild to think that half of our existence has been in a pandemic, and yet in many ways we are stronger than ever. When a family goes into a crisis together, with God they come out stronger. This Sunday, we’ll be...

Join us this week as we close out our series, Every Corner! We believe revival is something God wants to bring to everybody’s life. Through the way Jesus lived and the example He set for us, He shows us that our lives are not about what we accomplish but who we impact.  In the story of Jesus healing the demoniac, He gives us the recipe for revival and proves how nobody is ever too far gone to expe...

Join us this week as we continue our series, Every Corner! It's interesting in life that you can look at the same exact thing as someone else but see something completely different. Jesus longs for us to see those around us as he sees them so we will be as motivated as he is to pray for, serve, and invite them into God's family. 

Join us this week as we continue our series, Every Corner! Sometimes we begin our career, our family, or our home with great goals and values. But it can become easy to pick up other, yet lesser, goals and prizes along the way. From time to time it becomes critical to recall why you started what you started to begin with. In this week's message, hear about how God wants to recalibrate our scoreboa...

We often give the most of our care, time, and effort to the wrong things but we will not discover purpose until we get passionate about the things God is passionate about. We will continue the talk this week as we discover what kind of passion it takes to literally draw in the attention and presence of God.
