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...

This week we continued our series “The 7 Hour Walk,” as we talked about how God wired us for divine connection as there’s a big difference between coming to a church building and connecting to the church family.  The sad reality of church is it’s possible to come to church and still feel spiritually alone. It’s possible to be surrounded by people, but not truly be connected to people. It’s possibl...

Last week we launched our new series, " The7 Hour Walk.” And this week we are answering the question—why church? In a world that sees church as irrelevant or broken—and even among believers who treat it as a take what I need option or an unnecessary obligation—Scripture reminds us that church is where Jesus loves to be, in the midst of His people. It’s in church where we become the people we dream...

So often in life we feel pressure to move faster, do more, and figure everything out. But Scripture doesn’t invite us to run with God, it invites us to walk with Him. This series is about simplifying our discipleship and walking with Jesus in a sustainable, life giving way. It’s not about adding more weight to our schedules, but recentering our lives around five foundational practices that help us...

As we head into a new year we often have plans, goals, and maybe even a "word" we're going after in the new year. But have we slowed down long enough to ask God for his plans and thoughts for us this year? Scripture tells us that God has many thoughts for us. In fact, David tells us in a Psalm we will be studying that his thoughts for us outnumber the grains of sand of the sea shore… that’s a lot...
