Psalm 1 compares a righteous person to a fruitful tree and a wicked person to chaff, and the psalmist contrasts the behaviors leading to each. In our fast moving world, with lots of distractions that pull us away from the things of God and steer us into the possibility of chaff. How do we get on and keep on track in pursuing the place of righteousness of which the psalmist speaks? This message mak...

What kind of person do you want to be? When people have to stand and talk about you when you’re gone, what do you want them to say? Do you realize that’s up to you? What if you decided to be—extraordinary?

Chances are your greatest regret can be traced back to a decision where your body wanted something that your heart knew was wrong. An appetite was raging. You saw something or someone you wanted—even though he, she, or it wasn’t healthy for you. But you gave in to your body anyway. You yielded to the little kings that want to replace the Creator King who calls you to live from the inside out. What...

You think you want to be like everybody else. But everybody else takes their cues from everybody else. Being like everybody else just makes you average—worried, in debt, bored, and dissatisfied with what you have. If you knew that living like everybody else on the outside would leave you feeling like this on the inside, you would have done what you suspected was right in your heart instead of doin...

The bottom line, the kind of thing that’s driving our time together around this series, is we’re looking at sort of like the underbelly of the American Dream, sort of that unspoken part of the American Dream that goes like this, “I wanna do what I wanna do. I wanna do what I want when I want with whom I want. I wanna do what I want, when I want, with whom I want”. And then there is a little footno...

There’s an unstated part of the American dream. It goes like this: “We have the freedom to do what we want, when we want, with whom we want, and nobody can tell us what to do…as long as it doesn’t hurt anybody.” But what if life doesn’t work that way? What if you can’t do what’s right in your own eyes without eventually hurting someone?

Lets talk about the people who surround us—our friends and unfriends. With todays craze on social media, we have added many new words in our dictionary and one is unfriend. Have you ever unfriended someone or unfollowed someone on Instagram? If so, we want to talk about friends and unfriends. If you think about it, we sometimes friend those we should have unfriended and we unfriend those maybe tha...

At oneChurch.tv , we believe that you are just one community away from changing the course of your life. Why? Because being in community allows you to grow further and grow faster than if you did life alone.

Friendships are powerful things. They’re great, but dangerous. You drop your guard with your friends. You become less careful. And as a result, you’re easily influenced, drawn toward the acceptance you find. Many of us don’t realize the importance of the people we choose to surround ourselves with. Our friends determine the quality and direction of our lives.

Everyone seems to have an answer about how to improve the country. As the political landscape grows increasingly impassioned during this election season, there is no shortage of opinions as to how the next President should lead. What Would Jesus say to the next president? What conversations might Jesus have with Hillary Clinton? How might Jesus interact with Donald Trump? Republican, Democrat, lef...

The issue of sexual identity and Christianity is one of the biggest hot buttons for today’s culture. Questions surface such as “What does the Bible have to say about same-sex issues?” and “How can we balance grace and truth?” Jesus is the definition of truth and grace, and He will never be found partial towards one person or another. You don’t have to agree with someone’s decisions in order to sho...

Charleston. Ferguson. Baton Rouge. Minneapolis. Dallas. As our country reels from one tragic confrontation to the next, what does Jesus have to say about the racism issue that plagues our country? How would Jesus speak into this volatile situation where both police officers and civilians are being gunned down, and where every week, another video about shootings goes viral? The first-century church...

America’s dad Bill Cosby took a hard fall when allegations of sexual abuse began to surface. Everyone has different opinions, and many wonder, “Guilty or Innocent?” “Is he the victim, or did he victimize others?” In the court of law, we are innocent until proven guilty. However, in the court of public opinion, judgments are often concluded long before a judge’s gavel drops. The bigger question is,...

The world is in great crisis…but too often we only hear about the crisis involving celebrities and American politics. If we are not careful, we will adopt a mentality of only helping local, visible people in need and ignoring the great needs in our world today. That’s not what God wishes for us to do…and a brief look into his teaching and the real world news should help us to change our focus, hop...

Finding Nemo is all about the great lengths a Father will go to rescue his missing son. We all have times when we feel far from our Heavenly Father. Some of us walked away, while others of us drifted without even realizing it. How we got th...

One of the biggest things I love about our church is that we are a church for messy people. Here’s some trivia—our first preview service was July 15th 2007 in this movie theater. We started having services 9 years ago this weekend! And here’s the thing—when we started oneChurch 9 years ago? We wanted to start a different kind of church. A church for messy people. A church for people who weren’t pe...

How should you respond when others face bottom-of-the-ninth moments? What do you say in the face of people’s loss and pain? What can you do to try to ease their suffering? How can you offer hope? It’s not about saying something or doing something. It’s about being someone.

In the game of life, it’s easy to and yourself down and heading into the bottom of the ninth. Sometimes you make a comeback. But sometimes life doesn’t work out as you hoped or planned. You lose—and loss hurts. Where can you and hope when hope disappears?

Have you ever felt behind financially, relationally, or emotionally? Have you ever felt so behind that you didn’t know how to start catching up? The more time went by, the more you lost hope. These are bottom-of-the-ninth moments. But when you feel down, don’t lose hope. You’re never out. You can still turn the game around. All of us experience bottom-of-the-ninth moments when our problems become...
