“He is going to show up. He can’t help it; he loves us too much.” For episode two of The Prayer Series, Andrew talks about prayer and fasting as “witnessing skeptics”, working through the ways that we tend to reason away the works of God. He walks through the first two phrases of the Lord’s Prayer, and reminds us that all God wants from us is a simple togetherness, a conversion “as one speaks to a...

“A deep rich prayer life is not someone who spends hours and hours in the prayer closet, but who spends their life walking in God’s presence.” The Prayer Series has begun, with a sermon from Robert on the Lord’s Prayer, and exploring the question: what is prayer, anyway? He examines the simple way Jesus prays, first with the Lord’s prayer, and then looking at the way Jesus lived his life intimatel...

“Inherent in this story is a decision: where are we throwing our silver?” For this Easter Sunday, Jessie ushers us into the story from a different perspective–the story of Judas–giving us a small glimpse into a cosmic redemption story. She paints a picture of God for us: a God who repairs what is broken, a God whose love is the antidote to humanity’s pain, a God that is present, who does not say “...

“This is the good news of Holy Week. The way of Jesus brings life.” On Palm Sunday, Robert talks about the last temptation of Jesus: his choice to move towards the suffering of Good Friday. Every step of Holy Week is a choice: will we choose to avoid pain at all costs, speeding through discomfort and seeking after pleasure, or will we, like Jesus, slow down and move towards the pathway of formatio...

“I don’t have any power to make these things happen, but I want to be available when they do.” For the last episode of our La Familia series, Robert talks about the missional purpose of our community, telling the story of redemption and restoration through words and works in the ways of Jesus to our people of peace. He walks us through what healthy extended families on mission look like, and encou...

“These stories are an invitation to the religious leaders to repent. A challenge to change our thinking and believe something new about what people are worth. And it’s an invitation to us to rethink the notorious sinners in our lives and to accept Jesus’ invitation not to care for ourselves but to care for the one.” Jessie walks through the familiar language of “calling” in a way that asks us to r...

“ As spiritual parents, we don’t give people their identity, but we make sure they know what it is.” In the eighth episode of La Familia, Robert exemplifies spiritual authority and spiritual parenting by examining the life of Jesus in Mark, the ultimate imitation.

“Family are those who surrender completely, laying down their agenda fully for the agenda of Jesus.” In the sixth episode of La Familia, Robert talks about how the rhythm of the kingdom is seen through living into the idea of family on mission.

“Truly learning from others in this way requires something that none of us like to do, and that word is submission.” In our fifth episode of La Familia, we hear from Bob on the concepts of authority, submission, discipleship, and spiritual parenting that leads to maturity and growing up as images of God in the world.

“Have you brought Jesus into your own family? Or have you joined into Jesus’ family?” In this week’s segment of La Familia, Robert talks about Jesus’ redefinition of family, stemming from God’s identity as a communal, relational being.
