Reach Church

This Sunday we took time to address the sense of pain, anger and hopelessness surrounding the events in our nation. Brian and Steve are joined by Detective Jon in an honest conversation about race, police and hope.

If our identity is built on the approval of others, we will find ourselves vulnerable to rejection and repetitive heartache. Jesus teaches us how to build a foundation that sustains and satisfies.

We all have a standard of what's good and right, but what happens when we fail to live up to that standard? If "to err is human" then what do we do to fix it?

An unexpected experience with the cross can change everything. Despite being written centuries before Christ, Psalm 22 paints a vivid picture of what Jesus endured on our behalf to secure our rescue.

When faced with a season of suffering, we can either lean towards cheap grief or lean into God. He will turn our valleys of weeping into an oasis for others.

Psalms 1 & 2 are the introduction to the book as a whole, pointing us toward timeless truths to orient our very lives around.

In the closing portion of Paul's letter to the Philippians, we unpack two of the most popular verses in all of scripture and discover the secret of contentment in all situations.

In his addressing of a specific broken relationship between two disciples of Philippi, Paul lays out commands to obey, facts to believe, and promises to trust as we pursue peace in our lives together.

The Good News calls for us to live in a peculiar way—we are to be a people who make an impact in this life by focusing on the life to come.

All Paul wants is to have the deepest knowledge of Jesus possible, by any means possible. Is that your desire?

Which of these is the core message of Jesus; falling in line or falling in love? Paul paints a picture for the everyday Christian that obeying Jesus is full of joy.

True humility leads to true unity, which leads to God getting the glory He deserves and us getting the joy we long for.

There are a few verses in the bible that shine a light on the very heart of what a life following Jesus is to be about. This is absolutely one of those verses. "______ is life." How would you fill in the blank?

Would you expect suffering to bring about more boldness and a confidence in Jesus? Paul writes about a faith that grows even as he struggles with living out some of Jesus’ most difficult truths.

In Paul's prayer for the believers in Philippi we find our purpose as a church: To love Jesus, by knowing Jesus, and be changed by Jesus, for the glory of Jesus.

God specializes in shining light into darkness and conquering death with abundant life. If he really has risen, there is always hope. Always.

Before we can see the cross as something done for us, we must see it as something done by us. As we acknowledge the depth of our sin, we experience the fullness of His love.

Jesus sends his followers to go into the world to be his ambassadors of hope and reconciliation. God gets glory, the world gets healing, and we get joy.

Following Jesus isn’t just your ticket to Heaven and means to true change. Knowing him and being known by him is the most satisfying thing in the universe, because his steadfast love is better than life itself.

Can people really change? Your answer to that question has more implications than you think. The very good news is that Jesus brings change into our lives — so we should know how He does it, and how to be all-in with the process.

What if Jesus is more committed to you than you are to him? If he really is a good shepherd who never loses sheep, you can rest in his love for you — regardless of the darkness you're walking through.

Jesus came to seek and save the lost — everyday people who need an answer for the brokenness around them and a hope for redemption.

Brian and Josh kick off "Reach, Season 2" by sharing what's changing, what's staying the same, and how we will go deeper and wider in the years to come.

As we finish the Lord’s Prayer, we are reminded that God will give us everything we need for a life of purpose, and protect us as we step out to be a part of what He’s doing in the world.

The Lord's prayer might be the most frequently spoken collection of words in the history of human language. But rarely do we pause to reflect on them and the power they hold. Perhaps we should try just that...
