We all have a desire to be “where our feet are” - to be fully present and in the moment with our relationships, work and faith. So why is it so difficult?  In this 4 part series, we will tackle the challenges of living “undistracted” and explore ways to be “where our feet are”. God wants to meet you right where you are. MUSIC: Firm Foundation - Cody Carnes Battle Belongs - Phil Wickham Singing in...

In Part 3 of the series “Now What”, we are exploring one of the most confusing and most misunderstood parts of our faith - the Holy Spirit. Some of us may be weirded out when we hear “holy spirit”. Others of us may just be curious and have a lot of questions.  Whatever thoughts or feelings pop up about it - you won’t want to miss this message! Imagine if the Holy Spirit is simply God speaking to u...

Mixing and matching in faith has caused more harm and confusion than anything else. Most questions and pushbacks surrounding faith have very little to do with Jesus himself and have a lot to do with a misunderstanding or misapplication of the Old Testament. So who is Jesus really? And the Bible - so many verses, so many traditions. It can’t be boiled down to just loving people as Jesus loved us, c...

If Jesus is Lord, it changes everything about this life and the next.  If the resurrection is a verifiable event of history, then Jesus is the ultimate answer to every desire of our heart. He is what we’re looking for every time we check our stock portfolio hoping for more, every time we plan our trip around the world to find ourselves, every time we switch relationships or jobs hoping the grass i...

Three words… “It is finished”. In Greek it means, "to bring to an end, to complete, to accomplish”. Good Friday, Jesus' death through crucifixion, reminds us that when Jesus declared “It is finished” it was for all mankind, for all time, and he meant it. It is finished, and now, we simply get to choose to accept the invitation or not.  YOU ARE INVITED! WHAT: Allowing God to shape you… through the...

We just wrapped up our series called “90,000”. 90,000 is the average number of hours a person will spend at work over a lifetime. Our work matters because of who we ultimately work for - God. He sees our work as significant to him, his people, and the world. Catch the entire series on our YouTube channel.  On this episode of Overtime - Jennifer Mazzola, Jeremy Edelen, Jordan Geist, and Kristi Gord...

Our vision and mission is to “ inspire people to follow Jesus” and to “make Jesus relevant for everyone in Greater Austin”. We want people to know there is a God who loves them and is for them. And we want to be a church that is for each other, for our community, and for growth, belonging, and purpose. In order to fulfill our vision and mission as a church, we need a “Dream Team” - we need you!  J...

We all want to live a life that matters - with meaning and purpose. In this series, we are looking at all-things-work…  what we do, how we do it, and why it matters. In this last part of the series, we ask and help answer the challenging question many of us face. Is work / life balance even possible?  SCRIPTURE: Daniel 1:1-5, 8-9, 18-19   MUSIC: You’ve Already Won - Shane & Shane Run To The Father...

We all want to live a life that matters - a life of greatness. In this series, we are looking at all-things-work -  what we do, how we do it, and why it matters. What if there is a wiser way to work and a better definition of “greatness”? And what if that is available to us right now? SCRIPTURE: John 13:15-17 15 I have set you an example that you should do as I have done for you. 16 Very truly I t...

We all want to live lives that matter - with meaning and purpose. In this series, we will look at the purpose of work. Not just about what we do and how we do it, but “why” we do it and “why” it matters.  What if we could wake up and view work as an exciting adventure we get to pursue? SCRIPTURE: John 10:10 John 12:33 Matthew 11:28-30  MUSIC: For All My Life - Taya Gratitude - Northpoint Band What...

The average person will spend 90,000 hours at work over a lifetime. Work and our attitude towards it can define our lives. In this series, we talk about work and why it matters. God sees our work as significant to him, his people, and the world.   How do you see work? How are your 90,000 going? Your work matters because God is working in you.  Scripture:  “We are hard-pressed on every side, yet no...

We all want to live lives that matter - with meaning and purpose. In this series, we will look at the purpose of work. Not just about what we do and how we do it, but “why” we do it and “why” it matters.  What if you could wake up tomorrow and instead of dreading work, you could wake up filled with purpose? What if the purpose of your work is to contribute good to the world?  Scripture:  Genesis 1...

In this series, we have been exploring identity. In Part 5, we wrap it all up by addressing the gap between what we know in our minds and what we truly believe in our hearts.  Imagine what would happen in your life if you were to experience this gap closing and you could really see yourself as God sees you. Imagine what would happen in your life if you elevated God’s opinion of you over anybody el...

In this series, we have been exploring identity. In Part 3, we look at the significance of community (who and what we have around us). Healthy community can bring connection,  joy and a fresh perspective. And it is an essential space for discovering authentic self alongside others.  Community can influence and transform your identity. God designed us for community - Jesus modeled it. If you are cu...

If you could see you as God sees you, you’d be ok with you too. In this series, we are exploring identity. It’s a familiar concept yet difficult to define. Oftentimes, our identity becomes contingent on external conditions, qualifications, achievements, or labels.  But what if we were only meant to define ourselves in relation to God - created in his image, loved unconditionally just as we are. No...

In this series, we are exploring identity. It’s a familiar concept yet difficult to define.  Oftentimes, we define ourselves in relation to someone or something. Our identity becomes contingent on external conditions, qualifications, achievements, or labels. But what if we chose an identity that was non-contingent? SCRIPTURE:  Colossians 3:9-1, Colossians 3:23 Romans 5:6-11, Romans 7:24-25, Romans...

In this series, we are exploring identity. It’s a familiar concept yet difficult to define.  Oftentimes, we define ourselves in relation to someone or something. Our identity becomes contingent on external conditions, qualifications, achievements, or labels. But what if we chose an identity that was non-contingent? Every one of us is made in the image of God. We have intrinsic value and worth - it...

When heaven met earth, history was changed forever, we were changed forever. God blessed the world with a different kind of King who came to establish a different kind of kingdom.  Christmas is when heaven met earth, when God came to be with us as Jesus the King. A king who does not seek power and glory but one who walks humbly and who seeks to serve.  Jesus illuminates our way forward and shows u...

When heaven met earth, history was changed forever. God blessed the world with a different kind of King who came to establish a different kind of kingdom. At the first Christmas, heaven met earth in a new way. It was God providing a way to be with us.  MUSIC: O Come To The Altar - Elevation Worship Noel - Chris Tomlin Manger Throne - Phil Wickham NEXT STEPS: Wherever you are, we want to help you d...

God with us. What does that even mean?  In Part 1 of the series “When Heaven Met Earth”, we are reminded that when Jesus came, He brought God to us. He understands what is happening in our lives. He gets us and he is relevant to our lives. He is a good and loving father and he desires a relationship with us.  When you think about God - what comes to mind? And what would it look like, this Christma...

We all want more - more money, time, activities, stuff. But does “more” really give us what we ultimately desire? What we all realize eventually is that the pursuit of more, for the sake of more, will eventually leave us with less. What if we already have everything we need? In this 4 part message series, we will explore “more”. What it is, why we want it, and who has it. Maybe it’s possible that...
