Our True North series is a look at the compass within us all, a profound calling that cuts through the noise and confusion. This week, we're looking at another fundamental truth: God does not love us because we are good; God loves us because He is good.

In a culture addicted to noise, speed, and endless options, it’s no wonder so many of us feel lost, pulled in a thousand different directions. We’re bombarded with messages about who we should be, what we should want, and where we should go. But what if there’s a compass within us all, a more profound calling that cuts through the noise and confusion? This journey isn’t about escaping the chaos bu...

We have a tremendous capacity to innovate and create. That power can be used for good—to care for each other and the world—or it can be used in destructive ways to oppress and dehumanize others. The lesson of Babel is the tremendous damage that can occur when humans devalue one another and God. Series Overview:  If you grew up in the United States, you were likely handed a few Bible stories as a c...

Many Christians have mistaken Jesus’ call to service as a rebuke against aspiration. In a special message for VIP Night, Josh challenges us to achieve greatness – together. On Aug. 24, we welcomed all VIPs -- VERVEY IMPORTANT PEOPLE! -- to share a special night of worship, vision-setting, opportunities to get involved this fall, and a sneak peek of our September series, At the Movies.

A defining attribute of God is that he brings order out of chaos. The flood narrative is a hyperbolic theological story that helps us understand the pain of a chaotic world and the heroic lengths God will go to to establish the order required for human flourishing through his relational covenant.  Whatever chaos is currently pervading our lives, we are invited to trust in the God of Noah to bring...

Understanding Cain and Abel's story reveals our deep-seated human struggles with comparison, accountability, and the choices that shape us. Cain’s actions show how sin has evolved from an external influence to an internal force that wreaks havoc in our lives and the world. The Mark of Cain leaves us asking the question, can God do anything about the desires we give into that make a mess of ou...

Adam and Eve were perhaps real people, but they were far more than that. They serve as archetypes for us: Their failure is our failure, and there are consequences for our sin and brokenness. But God is not content to allow our story to end in tragedy. Rather, from the very beginning, he goes about setting a plan in place to redeem who we are and restore what we've broken. Series Overview:  If...

When Jesus chose disciples, he invited them from all over the political spectrum. Their allegiance to Jesus transcended their opinions about how the world's governments should be run. How do Christians make a positive difference in the places they live while remembering that their primary citizenship is in the Kingdom of God? Series Overview: Verve City Church won't tell you who to vote...

Perhaps you've heard someone say, "I just don't know how someone can be a Christian and a Democrat." Or, "I just don't know how someone can be a Christian and vote for that candidate." Embedded into those statements is the critical issue: there's something they don't know. In week five of Party Crashers, Verve City Church will explore why different Chri...

Christianity once had more cultural influence in the United States than it now does because more people identified as Christians. What happened? Why did people start walking away from Christianity in the 1990s? While the answers to that question are complex, the Church's grab for political power played a significant role. The Church wasn't silent; the Church was loud about the wrong thin...

In our polarizing times, faith and politics seem to be leading more to rage than actual change. It's discouraging, disheartening, and disappointing. But Sarah Bauer Anderson believes it doesn't have to stay this way. Civility is not a pipe dream. Nuance is not unrecoverable. Peace is possible. And it can all start right here, right now, with us. Series Overview: Verve City Church won&apo...

When political division shows up not only on the campaign trail but also at our dinner tables, we wonder: Can we be part of a better way? Michael Wear says "yes," offering a distinctly Jesus-centered approach to politics that results in healing rather than division, kindness rather than hatred, and hope rather than despair. Series Overview: Verve City Church won't tell you who to vo...
