Veritas COMO

This week at Veritas, we look at the pull of approval—the likes, affirmations, and attention we crave—and how easily it traps us. In Acts 5, the apostles face the loss of people’s approval but choose obedience to God instead. Through their story, we see that true joy and satisfaction don’t come from gaining more approval but from giving our lives away for Christ. The good life isn’t found in being...

This week at Veritas we look at the story of Ananias and Sapphira in Acts 5 and see how easy it is to hide behind the mask of appearance and performance. They wanted the applause of people more than the approval of God—and it cost them everything. God doesn’t want our perfection; He wants our honesty. The gospel invites us to drop the act and live in the freedom of being fully known and fully love...

This week at Veritas we reflect on the reality that every life is marked by a simple dash—the years between our birth and our death. Through Acts 4 and stories from Scripture, we’re challenged to consider how we will spend that dash. Will we play it safe, living for comfort and security? Or will we risk it all for Jesus, trusting the God who knows the end from the beginning?

This week at Veritas we look at Acts 4:12, where Peter declares that salvation is found in no one else but Jesus. In a world full of options and competing truths, Christianity isn’t just one choice among many—it’s something entirely different. Jesus doesn’t simply offer advice or religion; He offers Himself, the only One who can bring true belonging, freedom, and life.

This week at Veritas  we look at two men who thought they knew what they needed—one asking for money, the other for healing. But Jesus had something greater in mind: not just a change in circumstances, but  new life itself. Through Acts 3 and John 5, we see how Jesus meets us in our lowest places, not to simply fill our cup, but to transform our lives completely. He doesn’t always give u...

Loneliness is everywhere—especially for Gen Z. Even in a crowd, many of us still feel unknown and unseen. But from the very beginning, God said, “It’s not good for man to be alone.” In Acts 2, we see His solution: the church. Not a building, but a family where no one makes it alone and life is better together. This week at Veritas, we dive into what it means to belong—not just to each other, but t...

This week at Veritas Alex continues our series in Acts by asking a question we’ve all wrestled with:  Am I the kind of person God wants?  From personal stories of longing for belonging to the powerful moment of Pentecost in Acts 2, we see that God meets us exactly where we are—brokenness and all—and invites us into new life through His Spirit. No one is too far, too messy, or too un...

This week at Veritas, Kyle kicks off our series in Acts by asking a big question: What do you want most out of college? From highlight reels to real struggles, he points us to something greater—Jesus offers us a better place to belong, a better power through the Holy Spirit, and a better purpose as His witnesses. You were made for more. Are you willing to step into it?

What does the fruit of your life say about who you're truly connected to? In our last Tuesday Night of the summer, we explore what it means to abide in Jesus — to stay rooted in the true vine so we can grow, thrive, and bear lasting fruit. Drawing from John 15, personal stories, and practical wisdom, Michael challenges us to evaluate the habits, mindsets, and relationships in our lives that may be...

John 14:6 What’s heaven like? What’s the way to get there? Those are some big questions, and a lot of us don’t feel like we have answers. Fortunately for us, Jesus’ closest followers were asking the same things in John 14. Join Alex as we explore Jesus’ claim that he’s the way to eternal life with God. 

What voices do you listen to in your life? More importantly, where are they leading you? In John 10, Jesus tells us that the voices we listen to matter because they determine where we end up. If we want abundant life, we need to learn to follow his voice, because he is our good shepherd.

John 6:35 What’s the thing you want most in life? If you got it, would it offer you the contentment and satisfaction you’ve been craving? In John 6, Jesus talks to a crowd of hungry people, and offers them the one thing that can truly satisfy their deepest hunger—himself. Join Alex as we start our series in the I am Statements by asking: What are you hungry for? 

Celebrate the last Tuesday Night of the semester with us! Expect a longer video than normal with extra music and baptisms!!

Ephesians 6:10-18 If the devil wanted to pull you away from Jesus, what in your life would he use to do it? That’s a question most of us don’t think about often, maybe ever. But the reality is the devil wants to rob you of a life with God. So we’ve got to know his tactics and get good at fighting back. Join Alex in walking through a battle plan for standing firm and living the abundant life.

How should Christians think about our relationship with our parents as we move into adulthood? The Bible tells us to obey and to honor our parents at all ages but that raises two big questions: why? And even more pressing, what does that look like? Davis continues our series “The Bigger Picture” with a talk on obeying your parents from Ephesians 6:1-3.

Sin makes us really good at thinking primarily about ourselves. How does that relate to marriage? And is there a better way to live? Kyle continues our series “The Bigger Picture” with a talk on marriage from Ephesians 5:22-27.

Ephesians 5:15-20 What does the Bible teach about alcohol? How does that relate to following Jesus? Why does it even matter? Those are all questions Kyle addresses in this talk as he continues our series “Seeing the Bigger Picture.”

Sometimes God’s commands for us are easy to obey. Other times, like when it comes to sex, it can be harder to trust he truly knows best. So there comes the question - will we follow our own way, or walk in the light? Listen in as Davis continues our series, The Bigger Picture.

Ephesians 4:17-32 We all want to know our "real self" — but how do we find it? The world tells us to look within, but what if our true identity comes from something beyond us? In this message, we dive into Ephesians 4 to explore what it means to put off the old self and live as the new self in Christ. Discover how knowing Jesus shapes your identity, renews your mind, and transforms the way you liv...

Ephesians 4:1-16
 Do you want Jesus, or do you want the things you think Jesus can give you? How do you know? Paul says we answer with our lives. What do they show? What SHOULD they show? Listen in as Kyle continues our series, The Bigger Picture.

Have you ever wondered why you were born? What was God thinking when He created you? This week, Michael Porter Sr dives deep into identity and purpose—two things that so many of us struggle to understand. We often take the life God has given us and use it in ways He never intended. But there's good news—God always has a plan, and it's greater than we can imagine! Michael takes us through...

Ephesians 2:11-22 We all know the anxiety of not feeling like we belong. The feeling of being on the outside looking in, wanting to be a part of something that others have. But no matter what we do, we can’t find the peace of mind that we really do have a place to fit in. Ephesians 2:11-22 tells us that peace is only found in Jesus. With him, we belong to God and to others. And that has big implic...

Ephesians 2:1-10 Most of us have problems of some kind. Ephesians 2 teaches us that our main problem is far worse than most of us imagine, and yet, the solution is far greater than we could possibly hope. But for what purpose? Listen in as Kyle continues our series, “Seeing the Bigger Picture.”

Ephesians 1:15-23 A lot of us our looking for a change. Change in our habits, our priorities, our life. But every time we try to turn things around, they seem to wind up just the same. Is there any hope for real transformation? Where do we find the power to change? Ephesians has the answer, but it may not be what you expect. Join Alex as we continue our series through the book of Ephesians.

Ephesians 1:1-14
 Do you ever wish you could see God’s bigger picture for your life? What would change if you could? Less anxiety? Less performing? Freedom from pretending? Something else? Kyle answers these questions and more as he kicks off our Tuesday Night series from Ephesians.
