Pursuit of Possessions vs. His Presence The way we view money reveals where we place our attention and affections.  Do we keep it neatly separated from God, do we pursue it as if it were our god, or do we give God access to our finances?   This is important to determine because it involves our identity.  Wherever our passions go, our identity goes.  Do you invest for the here and now or for eterni...

A life of worship moves beyond songs.  It is a life that pleases God.  It is not a performance out of guilt, but an outpouring of a grateful heart.  Join us as we explore the life of David and how he stood before God and his life embodied worship even through adversity and compromise.  As we continue our One Thing series, Pastor Jules teaches on the different expressions of worship and how we can...

Where do you get your confidence from?  Watch for when you are shaken and doubt the goodness of God.  In Romans, it says that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, but it can separate us if we allow it to.  When physical things separate you from God's love, it's time to check where your confidence lies.  If your confidence comes from your position in Christ that God is with yo...

In an era when America has created an idol out of all of us, it is important more than ever to take God, our One Thing, into everything we do.  This is worship.  There has been a crisis of order, an inability to put the right love in its rightful place, and as a result, there has been chaos as our worship has become divided.  Join us today as we continue our One Thing series and Pastor Jules instr...

One Thing In Psalms, David sings of the One Thing he desires, which is to dwell in the presence of God.  What does that look like as we go to work and live our everyday lives?  What happens when we say yes to the One Thing and put it over everything else?  Heavenly alignment.  Something divine and dangerous.   A life of worship that is calling to us.  Join us as we begin our One Thing series and P...

When we get offended, what is our first reaction?  We typically react the way we’ve been raised rather than the way we’ve been saved.  And as a result, relationships suffer and can even become severed. What God wants when we are offended, is restoration the way He restored us to Him. Join us as we continue our Hood Series and Pastor Jules speaks on the scandal of falling for offense versus doing i...

The disciples argued over who among them was the greatest when Jesus corrected them.  Don't we do the same thing?  We create our own ideas of what being great looks like and disregard the opinion of God.  We step over what's important to Him and as a result, we find that something's missing from our lives.  Have you been so ambitious that you lost sight of what is important?  Ambiti...

We are looking for more than a religion or lifestyle but an encounter that will change us forever.  Zaccheus experienced this when he encountered Jesus-- when Jesus stopped just for him and went to his house.  As Zaccheus opened up his home and life to Jesus, as Jesus sat across from him within arm's reach, his brokenness and sin transformed into generosity and compassion that filled his home...

When Jesus returned to his hometown as the Messiah, the people were too familiar with him and saw only his past.  This kept them from coming to Jesus and seeing him for who he truly was.  They missed out.  God is calling you to go back to your spiritual hometown-- not to relive the pain and trauma, but as those redeemed and made new, to bring light and hope and to expose the love of Christ to the...

Jesus confronts religious leaders in their hypocrisy and legalism.  They were so concerned about how they appeared that they never dealt with their heart. They felt they had the right to judge others and as a result, stood in the way of people truly looking for Jesus.  Sound familiar?  If you are overly concerned with how others see you or don't even care, it is a sign that there are wounds a...

If you find yourself lying on a mat, paralyzed by a tormenting that has crippled you, remember the story of the paralyzed man who was brought to Jesus by his faith-filled friends.  They believed and carried him to the one who could heal.  And if you are not the one who is hurting, there is always someone around you who is and needs to rely on your faith and strength. We were not meant to do life a...

We are hiding from God in certain areas of our lives where we have experienced trauma and have been hurt, but God is inviting us to the table He's set out for us- a table of healing, restoration, and freedom.  As Jesus did not judge the woman at the well but offered healing and hope, God is beckoning you into His presence where He wants to redeem you with His grace and forgiveness.  Join us t...

We are so used to hustling, to working non-stop to achieve the next best thing, that it is an anomaly and almost an offense to take a Sabbath.  God gave Himself permission to pause, and He commands us to do the same.  Why.  Join us today as we continue our Holistic Series, and Pastor Jules answers this question of how the Sabbath provides and adds to our lives.

TFH Oakland welcomes our guest speaker,  Spencer Ramiro from The Movement Church

Our God is intentional, and He created us with purpose and intention.  But what is our purpose?  And are we here for a reason? Join us today as we continue our Search Series, and our guest speaker Cory Sankey addresses these life changing questions.

In the parable of the shepherd, he leaves the 99 to find the one lost sheep and rejoices when he finds it.  Are we searching for the missing sheep like that shepherd, with an urgency that comes from knowing how valuable that one sheep is?  Or are we searching for only what benefits us and have become numb to the needs around us?  Perhaps we once had a heart to serve and seek the lost but were hurt...

Our faith gets tested when we begin to worry.  We think we're adding to our lives by worrying, but we are actually subtracting from our lives.  How much does worry steal your attention and time?  Worry withers our trust in God and His provision.  It robs us of what we can do in that moment.  Jesus directs us to look at how the flowers grow, to turn our attention to God's attention to us....
