SLO City Church

This week we walked through a story of SHAME & REDEMPTION. We learned from John 21 about Peters re-deeming and the truth that Jesus gives us a new start - a new heart - a new story.

As we closed out our "The Way" series, we talked about being sent. Jesus didn't rescue us for us to sit still, He sends us out to bring hope and life to everyone.

In week 3 of The Way, we talked through John 15 and the invitation of Jesus to grow - to be the branches - by connecting to Him - the true vine.

In week two of "The Way" we talk about being TOGETHER people - a group that lives the way of Jesus and says "everyone's welcome" - just like Jesus did.

In the first week of our new series, The Way, we opened up the gospel of John and talked about the way, the truth, and the life of Jesus - the foundation of our faith.

As we wrapped up 2019 we opened up the story of Daniel and learned about his resolve and commitment to following God.

This week we discovered the gift of “God with us!” No matter our disgrace or dysfunction - no matter the drama or division around us... “God with us” changes everything.

In week 1 of our "Awaited" series, we learned from the story of Zachariah and Elizabeth about God's faithfulness and our way in the waiting.

In "Re:Purpose" we look at the story of Saul in Acts chapters 8 and 9 and the power of God-given purpose.

In the final week of our Anchored series we heard from guest speaker, Jake Barker. We opened John chapter 5 as we learned from the life of Jesus about how He heals us and sends us out.

In Week 3 of "Anchored," we talked about loneliness and discovered the heart of Jesus in it all - as we walked through the story of the leper in Matthew 8.

In week 2 of Anchored we took a look at the storm of anger - the opportunity to find healing and justice - and the invitation to remain anchored by the hope of Jesus in the midst of it all.

In Week 1 of our Anchored series, we opened up the Bible and discovered the power and presence of Jesus in Mark 4. We talked about the sea of anxiety, and how Jesus is our anchor in it all.

This weekend we heard from guest speaker Jodi Hickerson as she shared out of John 8 about the overwhelming mercy of Jesus in a “that just happened” moment.

In the final week of our "Real" series we opened up James 4 and learned about the source of conflict, and Jesus’ invitation to a better way.

In week 3 of our "Real" series we talked about the power of words. We opened up the book of James in Chapter 3 and learned about how words have the power to bring life or death.

In Week 2 of our 'Real" series we talked through the truth that faith moves in and moves us out! Faith moves in and rescues the heart so faith can move out to bring life and hope to everything in and around you.

What is your “it?” We all have our own trials and troubles, and in week 1 of our "Real" series we read encouragement from the book of James for when (not if) we walk through “it.” We find our hope, strength, and joy in Jesus - we need only to look to Him!

This week, guest speaker Jordan Rice from Renaissance NYC talks to us about the damage that the unchecked presence of envy can do and the freedom we experience when we surrender our envy to Jesus.

In week 3 of our "This Changes Everything" series we look at the story of a demon possessed man in the gospel of Mark. In it we see just how powerful Jesus is over our afflictions. He sets captives free and sends them out to proclaim the good news, to show the world that through Jesus, freedom changes everything.

In week two of our “This Changes Everything” series, we talked about rest and the power that God-given rest can have in our lives. We learned from an encounter Jesus had with a woman at a well (John 4) and we see Him offer her an alternative way—no more lack, no more hustling, no more exhaustion...just rest. But more importantly, rest for her soul.

This week we looked at how Jesus welcomes us in, calls us by name, and gives us purpose. We learn from the story of Zacchaeus in Luke chapter 19, that when we encounter the hope of Jesus...everything changes.

There is power in reflection. This Sunday we discussed how through reflection we see God's faithfulness and from that we have courage to trust him with our future.

In 2 Chronicles 20, we read about Jehoshaphat, a good king, who in the face of trouble turned his attention to God and led his people to do the same. We learn that God moves in powerful ways when we seek Him together.

Thomas said to him (Jesus), “Lord, we don’t know where you are going, so how can we know the way?" Jesus answered, “I am the way and the truth and the life..." (John 14:5-6)
