Welcome to Southeast City Church! We're glad you're here. This past Sunday we launched a new series on the Book of Acts. This is more than ancient history, it is a living account of the start of Jesus' ongoing work in the world to restore all things. Throughout this series, we want to be asking ourselves, What is the church, and what should our life and mission look like in the world? We hope this...

Welcome to Southeast City Church! We're glad you're here. This past Sunday we concluded our series in the complicated but beautiful Old Testament book of Hosea, looking at Hosea's final plea to his people in light of the scandalousness of God's love to choose God. Trust God. Follow God. He is worth it and His love is life. This is as much a plea for us as it was for them. We hope this teaching hel...

Welcome to Southeast City Church! We're glad you're here. This past Sunday we continued in the complicated but beautiful Old Testament book of Hosea. Sometimes the prophets get a bad rap as being books that are all about doom and gloom and judgement, but they are also full of some of the most powerful expressions of God's love for and devotion to prodigal people. This week, come hear some of the m...

Welcome to Southeast City Church! We're glad you're here. This past Sunday we continued in the complicated but beautiful Old Testament book of Hosea. Having made His case against Israel God is going to elaborate on what the coming judgement will look like and how Israel will respond and how they should respond.

Welcome to Southeast City Church! We're glad you're here. This past Sunday we continued in the complicated but beautiful Old Testament book of Hosea. God is wrapping up His case against Israel and makes one His most damning accusations yet- all of their religious zeal and devotion is empty, hollow, and heartless, devoid of reality. What does this mean? Why does it matter? And how can we know wheth...

Welcome to Southeast City Church! We're glad you're here. This past Sunday we continued in the complicated but beautiful Old Testament book of Hosea. God is unpacking His case against Israel, and this week He grieves their pursuit of the false hopes and false promises made by false gods who can't save and can't deliver when they have access to the Living God. Do we do the same thing? We hope this...

Welcome to Southeast City Church! We're glad you're here. This past Sunday we continued our new series in the complicated but beautiful Old Testament book of Hosea, looking at an aspect of God and His dealings with humanity that is often misunderstood and caricatured or neglected because we find it uncomfortable or offensive, but is very real and we need to reckon with it - His holiness and His ju...

This past Sunday we started a brand new series in the complicated but beautiful Old Testament book of Hosea. Hosea is not easy. It is full of hard and heavy and at times disturbing imagery, but it also makes real the heart and character and love of God in powerful ways that we are praying will be deeply transformative for all who are willing to listen. This week- God's scandalous command to Hosea....

Welcome to Southeast City Church! We're glad you're here. This past Sunday we continued in our new series- The Life You Were Made For.

But this doesn't happen automatically. It isn't something that we c...
