The Story Church

Do you feel like you have hit a plateau in your life with Christ? Maybe your faith feels static, immature, or impersonal. What if Jesus wanted something more for you? Churches often teach that worship, prayer, Bible study, and service are how we grow, but how do we actually incorporate these disciplines into our lives? What makes these tools so powerful, and how can you actually use them, by God’s...

Have you ever gotten something you always wanted? Maybe you chased it for years, working, praying, and paying for it, and once you finally had it, you felt empty and unfulfilled. And so you kept going, chasing, and thinking, “If I only had a little bit more, then I’ll be satisfied.” But what if that’s a lie? What if the things we’re all chasing were never meant to satisfy us? For six weeks we’ll l...

On the Sunday morning after Jesus’ crucifixion, the tomb stood empty and victory over death had been won. But while heaven was celebrating, Simon Peter was carrying shame. He had denied Jesus. He had failed. In his own eyes, he was disqualified. Yet Jesus wasn’t finished with Peter. Maybe you know that feeling—like your past defines you, like your mistakes disqualify you, like you’ve gone too far...

Following Jesus is sometimes presented as the easy road, a path of safety and happiness. Read the New Testament, and you’ll see a much different story: following Jesus is a narrow road that is often marked by pain and persecution. On the night before Jesus was crucified, Jesus gathered with his disciples for the Passover meal so he could prepare them for what was to come. In the face of suffering...

Almost everyone has an opinion on who Jesus is. Some say he was a brilliant teacher, a great prophet, or an ethical role model. The only problem with these ideas is that Jesus never claimed to be any of those things; instead, he insisted - repeatedly - that he is God. Few people accepted his bold claim - that he was the one true God in flesh - was offensive, and some accepted it, while others turn...

The opening chapter of John’s Gospel says that Jesus “came as a witness to testify concerning that light, so that through him all might believe” (1:9), and Jesus himself said he came “to seek out and save the lost” (Luke 19:10). It’s a good reminder that every Christian’s mission should be to introduce as many unbelievers as possible to Jesus. The overwhelming majority of non-Christians are closer...
