Reimagine Church Newark

You don’t have to prove your worth. You just have to live the story God’s already writing. This week we’re looking at 2 Corinthians 3:1–6 where Paul reminds us that we’re living letters. Not written in ink. Not carved in stone. But written by the Spirit. Your story? It’s not about having the right words. It’s about the work God’s doing in you.

This Sunday at Reimagine, we’re looking at a moment when Jesus saw a hungry crowd—and didn’t turn away. Instead, He turned a small lunch into a miracle. Join us as we reflect on what it means to show up with what we have and trust God to do the rest. Featuring Debi’s story and her heart for feeding others, this message is all about compassion that multiplies.

It’s one of Jesus’ most famous stories—but have we been hearing it all wrong? We’re digging into the parable of the Good Samaritan—not as a call to be nicer, but as an invitation to be new. Because Jesus isn’t just trying to make us better people. He’s rewriting our stories from the ditch up. Come curious. Come open. Come ready to see grace in the most unexpected place.

God With Us in the Ordinary Ever feel like God’s nowhere to be found? Like you’re just going through the motions? You’re not alone. The disciples on the road to Emmaus felt the same way—until they realized Jesus had been walking with them the whole time. Join us this Sunday as we explore how God shows up in the everyday moments we often overlook. He’s closer than you think.

We’re continuing our God With Us series with a powerful truth from 1 John 4: “We love because He first loved us.” It’s easy to think love has to be earned—but what if it starts with grace? This week, we’re exploring what it means to receive God’s love and let it shape how we see ourselves, our neighbors, and even the people we find hardest to love. Whether you’re feeling connected or questioning e...

What if God has been closer than you think—right in the middle of the questions, the quiet, the chaos, and the change? This summer at Reimagine, we’re sharing real stories and exploring Scripture that show how God is still showing up—through unexpected people, in unexpected places, with unshakable love. Come as you are. Bring your questions. You belong here.

What if the label you’ve been carrying isn’t from God? We’ll explore Acts 10–11, Peter’s rooftop vision, and how God keeps breaking through the limits we place on ourselves and others. Come ready to unlearn what’s holding you back—and imagine what the Spirit might want to do next.

Last week, we sat with the questions. This week, we turn to the answers—not the easy ones, but the kind that stir something deeper. The kind that make us rethink what we believe about God, community, and ourselves. Jesus doesn’t just respond—He reframes everything with one powerful question: “Who do you say I am?” That answer changes how we live, how we love, and how we show up in the world. Part...

God’s not afraid of questions—big ones about faith, power, culture, etc.. In this week’s message, we explore the ways we try to trap Jesus with our certainty... and how Jesus, in turn, questions us right back. What if the real transformation begins not when we have the right answers, but when we let Jesus ask the hard questions? God with Us in Church, Culture, and Community, part of our God With U...

We’re not telling polished stories—we’re sharing real ones. This series is all about the ways God shows up in ordinary lives, messy moments, and unexpected turns. Each week, we hear from someone in our Reimagine community about how faith has shaped their story—through questions, struggles, and surprising grace. Because we believe this: You don’t have to have it all together for God to be with you....

Real stories. Honest questions. A surprising kind of hope. This series isn’t about perfect faith or polished answers—it’s about presence. The kind of presence that sits with you in the waiting room. Walks with you through the hard stuff. And celebrates wildly when the breakthrough comes. Because Jesus doesn’t shout from a distance. He shows up. In ordinary moments. Through everyday people. Join us...

What does love look like? Sometimes it looks like someone sitting with you in a hard time—not with answers, just presence. Just care. That’s what Paul meant when he said: “Do everything in love.” (1 Cor. 16:14) As we continue our God With Us series, we’re asking: What if God’s love looks like you, showing up?

Listening requires stillness and obedience. We gotta slow down folks! Do you feel like you can take a breath, or do you go from this to this to that? It's so much! It's hard to hear God's whisper in the stampede that is our life. We can't feel his nudges if we fill every spare moment with busyness or mindless scrolling. Have you ever gotten off your phone and thought, "Man, that was so refreshing"...

Take some cues from Job, and Joyce: We can be honest. The truth can be hard, but God can handle it. We want to stay curious - not about the reason, but the result. Job didn't get answers, and neither did Joyce, but there are clear results in their lives of what God has done in and through them in these hard places. God may not explain why, but he will show up in the where. So, where are you experi...
