The Local Church

Does God still speak to people the way He did in the Bible... and even if he does, would He actually speak to me like that? Join us as we dive into scripture to answer these questions and learn through some personal stories of how God speaks and why it's always in our best interest to listen.

Movie Trailers, Arrival , and how God is retelling our stories and rebuilding our lives--and wants to use us to do the same in others' lives. We wrap up our series by considering a shared identity that we all possess: we are sent ones. John 20:19-23

The Schnitz Deli, Tony Hawk and the bridge between experience and obedience. What John wants to teach about discipleship and how to shock to the world (and why it's easy to miss). We need to move from consumers of Jesus to connoisseurs of Jesus. John 1:35-51

Coronavirus Pandemic dreams, Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and vine and fig trees from the visions of Zechariah's. When we invite others into our church community, we participate in God's kingdom and shock the world with the love of Jesus. Zechariah 3:1-10

The middle school lunch room, restaurant racism and why who you eat with says a lot about who you are. Jesus constantly shared a table with people that others would not because to share the table is to share your life. You'll never shock the world if you wont share your table. Luke 19:1-10

Communication theory, hair cuts after one week, and how Christians are meant to live lives that shock the world with the generous love of Jesus. If one of the primary ways that we share about Jesus is by answering questions about Jesus (Colossians 4, 1 Peter 3:15), our lives should be worth questioning. This week we explore how blessing others can help us do that.

Working at Chick-fil-A, the Lion King, and why addition and multiplication are the results of a life transformed by the fullness of Jesus. As we continually transition into post-pandemic life we have an opportunity to lean into one another and rehabit our lives around Jesus and the Church. The same things that God did with the early church in Acts 2, God wants to do with us today.

Where habits come from, why elevators are actually rocket ships, and how familiarity is the enemy of the awe & wonder of God. When we rehabit our lives around the Church, cool things happen. This is the pattern we see in the life of the early church in Acts 2.

The power of sharing a meal, learning to dive and how we stay devoted to the big rocks of our faith. Join us as we ReHabit our lives around the things that matter most just as followers of Jesus have been doing since the beginning.

We've all lost some habits and gained some habits over the past year, but as we all know, not all habits are created equal. If you are trying to follow Jesus there are no habits more important than the ones we find Acts 2. Join us as we empty out our jars to make sure we get the big rocks in first.
