Have you considered that the fact that everything that Jesus did in his life was shaped by what Jesus saw from his father? What Jesus said, taught, and did was shaped by what he saw and heard and received from his father. If that is true for the God-Man Jesus, I wonder then how much more it's true for you and me? How aware you are of the reason that you likely do what you do, say what you say,...

Today as it stands, there are 3.4 billion people who exist that have no access to the gospel. They likely do not know a single believer in their neighborhood. People who will be born, they will live and they will die, likely without ever hearing the gospel. This, as a church, should compel us to action and radical obedience as God's people. Jesus consistently lived in this rhythm where he was...

You were created for connection with the God of the universe. Whether you realize it or not, you long for it, ache for it, it’s the thing that you’re searching for. God created you to experience that connection daily with Him, but most people are so distracted with the worries and cares around them that they miss out on the moments that Jesus wants to share with them. In this sermon Pastor Joe pre...

How how are we supposed to step into the very thing that Jesus commands us to do -- Go and make disciples? What if Christianity is so much more than just the Sunday gathering? Discipleship is truly learning and knowing what it means to walk every single day with Jesus. Our hope for you is that you would get a framework today to walk away with, to know how easy and accessible it is to step into the...

Hearing the voice of God is the most significant task of all Christian discipleship. The beautiful, brilliant, powerful sound of God brings light into the cosmos, the sun, the moon and the stars. Not only does God speak, but when He speaks, the impossible becomes possible and logic gets defied. God's words in and of themselves contain everything that is needed for everything. The problem today...

Have you ever wondered, is it always going to be like this? Or am I always going to be like this? Why do things like this keep happening to me? Why did God make me like this? You feel not good enough, stuck, in-between, not who you were but no who you want to be. Do you know what it feels like to settle into that space and to have these moments where you drive yourself to work, or you lie in bed a...

The question today is not whether or not you're being discipled, it's who you're being discipled by. There are spiritual realities that are fighting for your attention, your affection, and your formation. We stagnate, we drift, we get off course, we pick up bad habits and broken religious mindsets, and we begin to add new ageism to our faith. And we confuse worldly wisdom with biblical revelation....

When you close your eyes and picture God, what do you see? When you think about the divine, supreme, immortal, eternal, all powerful, self-existent God who the Bible calls spirit and who by nature is invisible, what do you imagine? Until Jesus becomes not just a religious teacher, but the architect of the universe, the king of the cosmos, your very vision of the divine, Jesus stuff will be a nice...

What if you lived every day as if getting the message of Jesus in front of people who don't know it yet is actually the primary reason that you're still on the planet? The Jesus stuff is telling the Jesus story, even when it means suffering like Jesus. There are people all over the world, as well as some in this city, who have never seen the afflictions of Jesus. Never heard the good news....

Perhaps the most asked question in Christian circles goes something like this -- What's God's will for my life? Am I where I'm supposed to be? Am I dating who I'm supposed to be? Did I buy the right house? Did I buy the right car? Am I living in the right state? Am I going on the right missions trip? What is God's will for my life? And this becomes such a buzzing question in Ch...

Do you ever feel like the world has lost its magic? You ever feel like the world has lost its sense of awe and wonder? What used to be fascinating is now dull, food has lost its taste, music doesn't make us dance anymore, art doesn't provoke any contemplation, we are seldomly stunned, we are rarely in awe and wonder. This sermon will I remind you of He who dwells in unapproachable light, who is cl...

What is the song of your soul right now? If someone could put on your AirPods and hear the soundtrack of your soul, what would they hear?
Would they hear worship, or worry? Would they hear praise, or panic? Would they hear faith, or fear? “Next to the Word of God, the noble art of music is the greatest treasure in the world. Beautiful
music is the art of the prophets that can calm the agitations o...

Do you desire God, not just do you believe in him? Do you long to be with The creator of the cosmos? Are you feeling religiously obligated to him or do you a hunger for Him? Do you desire Him more than you desire anything else? 1 As a deer pants for flowing streams, so pants my soul for you, O God. 2 My soul thirsts for God, for the living God. When shall I come and appear before God?[b] 3 My tear...

I think there is potentially a reason your soul feels tired, and exhausted, and like it’s running on fumes and you’re not getting the results that you want from this thing called life… You’re trying to run a race on a broken leg. You’re trying to run a race on a broken soul. Lamenting is an art that we don’t often practice in Western culture. It’s really becoming a lost art in the Christian tradit...

We are lonely, exhausted, hurried, rushed, frantic, stressed, anxious, sad, overworked, feeling under rewarded an empty soul. The prescription from society is to treat yourself. How's that working for you? Will getting all of this stuff actually take care of the emptiness that you feel on the inside? It doesn't matter how good the books are, or the music is... Jesus gives this iconic teach...

We are living in a constant state of information overload. It does not seem as if all of this information that we have at our disposal on our fingertips is making the situation any better. We know more than we've ever known before, and yet we are more worn out, exhausted, maxed out, and tapped out than we could dream of. In the midst of all of it, how's your soul? What are you watching, reading, o...

How's your soul? That's maybe the most important question, but the most unasked question. How is that internal composition of thoughts and emotions and desires and dreams and personality? How is the you that doesn't make the highlight real? How connected to God and purpose do you feel? How much shalom do you feel? How are your levels of shame? One measure for whether or not you're rested enough, b...

Have you stopped asking? "I know you’ve asked God for something before. Maybe you got a clear no, or maybe a yes, but I think there’s many people here today that would admit that maybe you stopped asking because it didn’t seem like God was going to answer. So have you stopped asking God for the things you want or need?" If we’re honest, I think all of us would love to have a more powerful prayer l...

"Only God can judge me", has shaped the world and cultural landscape that we live in. But is it true? Matthew 7:1 is perhaps not just the most quoted verse by non-Christians, it is probably also the most misused and misunderstood verse by humanity. We miss what Jesus is actually saying in His brilliant Kingdom sermon on the Mount. For many, if not most people today, there is no enemy other than th...

Jesus, strategically places at the peak of the sermon on the mount -- the Lord's Prayer. At the center of the center of the center of the sermon on the Mount is the Lord's Prayer. It's as if Jesus is saying that you aren't going to get the culture of the kingdom if you don't become a people of prayer. At the center of the center of the center of the King's heart for the Kingdom is this -- on earth...

Jesus' sermon on the mount changed the world. Matthew, a literary genius, in recording Jesus' sermon, captures the sermon's climax dead in the middle -- the Lord's Prayer. Jesus has been building to the Lord's Prayer, in that if you want to really get the ethics and the values and the vision of the kingdom of God in your heart and your soul and your mind and in your DNA, then you need the Lord's P...

In this series our church has been working our way through the sermon on the Mount, which is the greatest sermon of all time. This is Jesus's manifesto, His vision for humanity, how he sees life working to the best. Today, at the forefront of our mind must be this -- do I actually trust that Jesus has the best vision for life? Do I actually trust that Jesus has the best vision for sex? Do I actual...
