Nick Roach continues our Simple series with an invitation to shift our perspective – how can we focus on the things that matter for eternity? Thank you Nick!

Redemptive resistance is more than just keeping peace – it's making it. Jesus showed us how it's done: break down walls and build bridges.

Jesus is not the mascot of nationalism or our comfort – he's a God who steps into the margins and shows us how to radically welcome the outsider. So proud of all the ways we get to live this out together!

God has given us good news to proclaim – it requires us to confront injustice wherever people are oppressed, so that freedom can flow everywhere. 

An encounter with Jesus inspires hope. It causes us to dream and long for something different, and moves us into action. Let's go into this week with hearts full of hope!

Jesus reveals a new model of leadership, inviting us to take the low road of service instead of clinging to power or status. Thank you Roy for sharing!

Our new series will focus on who Jesus really is – how he embraced the outsider, uplifted the marginalized, and led in humility. Check out how Dave G. kicked it off!

What does it look like to have zeal in the midst of our suffering? Kent Dunnington wraps up this series by showing the surprising connection between zeal and lament.

When you see destruction all around you, what do you do? Vision can emerge from the ruins if we have the zeal to create and rebuild.

In Luke 10, Jesus shares a secret to life: love comes from the margins, where full life isn’t about being religious – it’s being merciful.

This series is for anyone whose passion has cooled. How do we rekindle the fire inside of us? Check out Dave's message to learn more!
