Pastor Ryan talks to us about Marking this Moment, and continuing to Carry God's Presence forward.

After the Resurrection, Jesus comes and goes, and has a special encounter with two disciples who are headed away from Jerusalem.

In the early hours of Resurrection Sunday, Mary couldn't see Jesus through the lens of her tears, but then He called her by name and everything changed... she carries the good news for the first time - "I have Seen the Lord!" We celebrate the moment on which all history hangs in this episode - the Resurrection of Jesus. Remember with us and hear what it means for us today.

Standing before that vast crowd... the ones who had turned on Him, Jesus was brought out for all to see. Pilate called to them, "Behold the Man! Behold your King!" and they replied "He's not our King, Crucify Him!" Never do we see a more perfect picture of Jesus' Passion and Purpose... If you want to See Jesus, behold the man.

As Jesus enters the city to kick off Holy Week, there are back-to-back episodes with Jesus in Luke 19, and we investigate how each of the characters in the story react to Jesus in both.

We open our Easter journey this year with the moment that leads into it, in the Gospel of Luke. Jesus has an interaction with a man who is "the wrong guy," but this wrong guy made a couple right moves, to see Jesus. That's when everything changed.

Dr. David Welle joined us to unpack Jesus' interaction with the rich young ruler, and how God invites all of us to put Him first.

Pastor CJ jumps in this Sunday morning to talk through three wrong ways we look at God, and three ways that Jesus shows us something different.

After the renewal, we're given a final brief insight and lesson from Josiah's life. It's a challenge to keep seeking God, even when we've been in a great season of blessing.

What comes next after making room for God by clearing away idols, and responding in repentance and obedience to His Word? Josiah shows us the completion of the pattern as he re-establishes true worship, declaring who God is and what He has done.

After clearing away all the idols and distractions, Josiah turned his attention to restoring the Temple, and in the process, they rediscover the Book of the Law. When Josiah hears God's Word, he is instantly repentant and everything changes.

Kicking off our Character Study in the life of the King who followed the Lord most closely, we look at the heart of Josiah before he ever had instruction from the Lord or even an example to follow.

The overarching thrust of our passage in Acts 2 is that the believers did everything together in unity as Family. Pastor Ryan explores the Rhythm of making Family a priority, as difficult as it can be in our individualistic world.

Pastor CJ walks us through the ways we're called to engage with God and our world as a daily Rhythm, just like breathing.

Join (the reverend) Bill Mullet as he leads us through an investigation of prayer as a primary rhythm of our lives as followers of Jesus.

Take a look with us into our Rhythms with the Word of God and it's power in our lives.

One thing that we surely need - Rest for our souls! That's what Jesus offers to us, and from the beginning we see God has a plan for us to engage with Him by resting.

As we enter a new season, we want to line up our lives with the ways of God. Pastor Ryan talks about the Rhythms we see in scripture, beginning with time.

As Jesus brings this Manifesto to a close, He calls us to make a choice - to follow Him and build our lives upon His ways, or to take the more popular way and build our lives upon foundations that shift beneath us.

Jesus continues to impart wisdom for approaching one another in relationships.

As Jesus enters into the final push of His manifesto, He teaches us about relating to one another in His way of flourishing. First, He addresses a constant temptation for us in how we see one another, and calls us to put our focus on what's happening in our hearts once more.

Jesus moves into a new set of thoughts, teaching us on how to live in right relationship with God and with one another, but first, He wants to point out a couple of things that hold us back from that life of rich relationship He desires for us. In this message, Jesus talks to us about our treasures.

Jesus shifts the focus in the middle of His Prayer, from praying toward Our Father, to asking of Him.

We dive into the Lord's Prayer in this look at the practices that followers of Jesus have embraced for two millennia.

We skip ahead to Jesus' instruction on fasting, but first, in our chaotic time, we remind ourselves WHY we keep our minds on things above.
