Downtown at Austin Christian

As we finish our series today, we talk about our calling to be the One Body of Christ. But what does that actually mean in practice? Just to show up to church? To meet once a week in small groups? What is the purpose of the body and how do we function together? What does it mean to be unified and live together in a way that honors Jesus and fulfills his calling for us?

As we continue our series, the Journey, Allan teaches about the role of the Holy Spirit in our lives. How do we connect with it? What did God intend for it to do in our lives? How were we meant to live and walk with the Holy Spirit as we continue our journey?

As we continue our series, the Journey, today, Niah talks about our One Hope as Christians. There are many things that we can all put our hope in: careers, relationships, money, politics. But what should we actually put our hope in? What does it practically mean to hope in something? Is it just wishful thinking or something more?

As we continue our journey we discuss baptism. Why is it important? What does it signify and why would God ask us to do it? Is it more than just an act or a checklist item?

Jesus is Lord. It's a really easy thing to say, but what does that actually mean? What are the implications of Jesus being Lord over our life? How do we maintain that posture when things don't go well or don't go the way we want? Today we talk about what lordship looks like and what Jesus asks of us as we continue our Journey series.

As we continue our journey, what does it mean to grow in our faith? Where does faith come from and how do we get more of it? How are we called to live out our faith in a way that is worthy of the calling we have received as Jesus' followers?

Today we kick off our new series: The Journey as we talk about the calling we have received as followers of Christ and what it looks like to live it out. Today, Trey and Carlos explore what it means to walk according to our calling and how, just as God sought us out, we are called to seek Him, and partner with Him to seek others.

We all have times of transition and in-between spaces in our lives and most of us wish we didn't! They are uncomfortable and create fear and anxiety and we would honestly rather go back to what was comfortable or try to forge ahead. But in doing so, we can miss out on what God is trying to do in that space. Today we talk about the Israelites journey through that season in the desert and how it...

As a family it can be easy to focus on what is happening inside the church, and we definitely need to take care of each other. But we are also called to take care of those in need around us. Today, Allan talks about our call as followers of Jesus to serve those around us and be an extension of God's love to those in need.

As we kick off our new year and our new series: Re-Engage, Dave talks about what it means to re-engage in the mission that God has given us. What have we been commissioned as his people to do and what does that look like in our day to day lives?

What does it mean to practice discipleship? Why can we feel disengaged in our christian walk? Today we talk about what it means to stay engaged in our discipleship and why it isn't just about your own personal walk but how we need each other for the journey.

As we start the new year, we talk about what it means to lead and how everyone should be a leader, not just in title, but also in action and in how we set examples for each other.

As we continue our series, we dive into Jesus' prophesied name, "Mighty God". What does it mean for Jesus to be Mighty and for Him to also be "God"? What implications does that have for our lives? At times, it can be tempting to only want the "Mighty" part but maybe not the "God" part. How do we ensure that we honor both parts of this name for our Unexpected King?

As we enter the season of Christmas and the celebration of the birth of our savior, we start our new series looking into Isaiah 9's prophecy about who Jesus was supposed to be. As a king arriving into the scene, he was definitely not what people expected. Isaiah gives Jesus 4 names, Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Eternal Father, and Prince of Peace. Over the next few weeks we will dive into thes...

As Jesus closes his sermon on the mount, he gives three images that describe the importance of putting everything he has taught into practice. What decisions will we make and how will we make changes in our lives to become the people that God has called us to be?

Why do we worry? Why do we judge? Today we talk about the importance of perspective and why it is critical to see things with "good eyes" versus "bad eyes".

As we continue our series on the Sermon on the Mount, Wes and Evan share about what it means to put your treasures in heaven. How do we avoid putting too much treasure here even in the church? How do we actually stop worrying about what is going on in our lives?

What does it actually mean to be righteous? As Jesus continues his sermon on the mount, he calls his followers to have righteousness that exceeds that of the Pharisees. Is that actually possible? What does that look like for us today? Join us as we continue our study on the Sermon on the Mount and talk about Real Righteousness.

We are called to stand out, but not just for the sake of standing out. We stand out to impact the lives of those around us for the better. This week as we continue our study through the sermon on the mount, we look at the last beatitude as well as Jesus' illustration of calling his followers salt, light, and a city on a hill.

What does it mean to be pure of heart? Why is it such a big deal? What does it look like to be a peace maker? And why do they get to be called the Children of God? Join us as we continue our study this week through Jesus' Sermon on the Mount.

As we continue in our series, we ask the questions: What does it mean to hunger and thirst for righteousness? What does it actually mean to be righteous? Why is mercy important for God's kingdom?

Blessed are the meek. What does that mean? Does Jesus want his kingdom to be full of pushovers and doormats? Today we explore what being meek actually means and how being meek isn't being weak.

With all the problems there are to solve in the world and everyone vying for our commitment and allegiance, what are we as Jesus followers to do? As we begin this new series, we open up the Sermon on the Mount and study out what Jesus' kingdom is supposed to look like and how we are to align ourselves with Him.

As we enter a turbulent political season, how are we, as followers of Christ supposed to act and respond to the culture around us?

Guest speaker and author, Michael Burns, breaks down our calling to be image bearers of God and how we are to avoid falling into the traps of the political games of Babylon.
