When we choose to do what is right, we often expect the path to be smooth, but life has a way of testing our resolve. Troubles  arise—whether it’s criticism, hardship, or unexpected setbacks—making us question if standing firm is worth the cost. Yet, it’s in these moments of trial that our faith is refined, and our character is strengthened. One of the hardest verses in the bible to practice chall...

In Acts 15, we see the first real case of church drama hitting the church… and if they did not handle this case of division the way they did, we might not be here today. There was division, but how did the early church handle it? The truth is there is a lot of division in the church today. It's not hard to find. Media loves it. Sometimes we love it. But God hates it. This Sunday we unpacked what r...

When it comes to our walk with God, nothing is more exciting than seeing people continually take steps to grow in their faith. Saying yes to Jesus is the greatest decision any of us can make… but that’s just the starting point. A life with Jesus promises to be the most exciting adventure you could ever dream of, and we unpacked what a life following Jesus looks like this week in a message titled,...

This week we jumped back into our journey through the book of Acts and our series ‘Church In The Wild’, by looking at Acts chapter 12. At the beginning of Acts chapter 12, we see King Herod persecuting and murdering believers, and upon seeing how much it pleased the people, he doubles down and takes it even further. This highlights just how susceptible our flesh is to the fear of man, to this anxi...

This Sunday we celebrated Mother's Day! We learn in scripture that honor is one of the love languages of God, but it is being lost in our world. It is perhaps more common for someone to honor themselves than it is for someone to honor someone else. But what does God think of that? The Bible teaches us that when we honor others above ourselves we honor God, whether we feel like doing it or whether...

In Matthew 28, Jesus gives every believer a clear mission—we often refer to it as the “Great Commission.” At Captivate, we have the privilege of living this out each week as we see lives transformed and disciples made for the glory of God. But what about beyond San Diego? How are we reaching people, serving communities, and making disciples across “every nation?” This Sunday, we turned our focus o...

This week we learned what God really wants to do in our lives through baptism. As we go down into the water, there is something God wants us to let go of. If we're honest, we aren't always good at letting go. Whether it's our stuff, an injustice, or a grudge, letting go in life is hard. But we will talk about letting go of one of the most difficult things: Our past mistakes.  Looking at the life o...

In Matthew 10, Jesus sends out his disciples into the world to preach the Good News. Before he sends them, he tells them why he came. He says in verse 34, "Don't think I came to bring peace into the world. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword." What in the world does that mean? The Bible teaches us that Jesus comes on Easter to bring us peace, but that's not the first thing he comes to do in...

Do you ever think about what it is exactly Jesus called us to? More specifically, what did He call us to do? In a world full of different systems and strategies for growth and a better life, vision boards and bucket lists, self help books and seminars, what really is the best plan for becoming better people and making the world a better place? This week we talked about how we can follow Jesus to b...

It's easy to look at our surroundings or at our current place in the world and to doubt whether we can actually be the change that's needed. Our workplaces feel too dark. Our schools might feel too dark. Our corners might feel too dark. And often what that does is it puts a desire in us to leave the darkness in search of the light when the reality is that we are called to BE the light in the midst...

When was the last time you had a good cry? Were you watching a movie that you became emotionally attached to and the tragic death of a character moved you?  We cry for a lot of different reasons and we think it's only about releasing and expressing emotions. But God's Word tells us that our tears are way more powerful than that, if we know what to do with them. "Those who sow in tears, will reap i...

This week we jumped into the scripture that gave us the Corner Card, Mark 5 as Jesus heals the man known as the "demoniac." Jesus heals a very lonely guy. This man then wants to go follow his new friend and mentor Jesus. But Jesus tells him, "No, you need to go home instead." This seems very cold from Jesus, "Have a heart Lord!" This man probably felt some serious FOMO. But upon further investigat...

The story of study for this week lets us witness perhaps the most radical transformation in human history. Saul the murderer, becomes Paul, the guy who wrote 1 Corinthians 13 that teaches us that "Love never fails." Same guy. That's ridiculous. Surely the budget to renovate Saul's soul was much too large to anyone not named Jesus (or Stephen). But how did it happen?  Often in life we love the idea...
