REALLIFE Spokane

God has called us. God is calling us to reach and invite people into his family and we are to be together with God to bring hope and restoration to the world. God is calling us beyond being the center of our own universe and seeing that we are a part of a miraculous story that has been moving through human history for centuries. We are a part of a rescue plan. God wants all his children rescued fr...

Reaching the world for Jesus is not something that we have to figure out on our own. Our job is to walk with God one day at a time – trusting Him to guide us. Proverbs 3.5-6 NIV – Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight. Knowing that sin has affected every person that has ever been born compe...

We long to be a church of impact. A people who actually see the world changed through us. We long to be a generous people. We are created with a purpose. We are called to love and see our city and our world changed through us. We have finances in our lives to be able to love and bless people with. I am so proud of you all for embracing this conversation. I believe God is turning our hearts toward...

We are going to talk about money today. Everyone’s favorite topic. In fact many of you invited friends to be with you – “oh great.” Ha! I know it makes us uncomfortable – but that is exactly why we need to talk about money. To make us more and more comfortable with God’s design for finance. We need to talk about it so we can be free from it. When we keep things in the dark they tend to own us. Whe...

We love you REALLIFE! All of this is here for you!

We are empowered beyond what we can even comprehend. God WANTS to partner with us. He WANTS to perform his miracles through us by the power of his holy Spirit. He WANTS to bring glory to his name through our lives. He WANTS to reach the world for Jesus one person at a time through us. Will we commit to him? He is committed to us! Will we walk in the power of his Spirit?  

We are a called people. God has gifted you for the assignment he has given you. Your confidence is not from your performance nor circumstances – rather from God himself. He is the one who called you and gifted you and loved you. He always equips those he calls. He will match you gifting with your calling perfectly. Move into that calling with confidence.  

I believe God wants to grow your confidence in 2023. He wants you to see who you are and where you are amazing. God wants you to walk in your giftedness this year. When you believe you have been given amazing gifts and an amazing place in life – you steward it with a sense of responsibility and joy and tenacity.  

We are loved so we can love others…we are not consumed with trying to find love for ourselves or get noticed – we have so much worth in the love of God. We are loved. Nothing is going to change that. Nothing can separate us from the love of God. As a church and a community we are so blessed by the love of God in our lives that we can’t help but want others to experience and know the same love that...

Because Jesus came – your home has changed. You no longer are pressured to have the perfect family. The perfect kids. The perfect marriage. Jesus came to bring peace to your home. When you rest in his grace and mercy you can extend grace and mercy to those you love.  

Because Jesus came – your life’s purpose has changed. You have purpose from Jesus. When he came – he brought with him a reason for your existence. A reason for your life. Purpose is powerful. Purpose fills our lives with peace.  

Because Jesus came – your identity is changed. You no longer have to try to find your identity in what you do, what you have, what you achieve. You can have peace in your mind because Jesus has declared you are his child.

If you are a Christian, God’s Holy Spirit lives inside of you! Do you give His presence in your heart much thought? Do you know what to do with that? 

Today Jesus as we come toward you – we come boldly. Show us how good you are. Make your grace known to us today. May we find our confidence in you Jesus. May we find our strength in you. May we find our holiness in you and you alone. Would you be here powerfully today as we enter into your presence.  

God we long for you…we long for you to move in our midst in a powerful way. God we seek your presence. We seek to become a people who welcome your presence well.  

Lord give us a heart for your presence – create a hunger in us to know your presence. To not settle for small and empty religion. Would you meet us here as we seek your manifest presence o God? We want to know you and your presence more and more. 

We are becoming a people of faithfulness to Jesus and his kingdom. We want to hear these words – well done good and faithful servant. We give our lives away to see the next generation experience all God has made them to be. We are all standing on the shoulders of those who have gone before us. We long to see the kingdom continue to the next generation. We will courageously give our all to see what...

Are we awake and ready? Looking out – or focused on ourselves? We are on a rescue mission – with the Spirit inside us we actually become a conduit of healing to people in our lives. 

We should be a people who are overwhelmed by the grace we have received. A people who are gracious the way God is gracious with us. A people who are passionate about forgiveness in our lives. Setting people free. Walking in the freedom that Jesus has offered us.  

We are becoming a place where the broken see they can be changed and healed too. A people of faith – who see the small seed as a picture of what COULD BE.

We want to be a people who are content with the Father’s leadership and care. The Holy Spirit is writing a story with us together as a church. He has a plan and purpose – we really won’t know the end of the story – we get to be in the story.

We are sowers of the seed. We are called and empowered to sow the seeds of the Gospel to this whole city – to this whole world!

We long to become a people of the party. A people who celebrate as Jesus brings more and more people into the feast. We long to be a people out there in the streets finding people who are willing. We are inviting. We are pursuing people passionately. We long to be a transformed people. A people who are being clothed in a garment of praise. Taking our garments of heaviness and exchanging them for g...

Like a skilled master builder our hearts long to build on the foundation of Jesus. Build a house that will last. Build a people that will be able to endure the testing. Build a family that is built on the strength of Jesus’ kingdom. 

The prayer of a righteous person is powerful and effective.
