How to Use Your Money

Sent Ones must be open-hearted to how Jesus wants to use our money and open-handed to distribute it however the Spirit leads, trusting God’s provision in the process. But how do we do that in an era when so much financial scandal and prosperity preaching plagues the American church? And what does the Bible actually teach us about money? Listen now to hear a foundational message for the life of our community, along with our most recent financial update.

Rebuild the Ruins: Answering Jesus' Call to Do Justice

Jesus calls us to spiritual devotion and social justice. But how do we answer him in a way that is faithful to Scripture? Listen now for a biblically thick, theologically rich, and surprisingly practical message on how to "do justice, love mercy, and walk humbly with our God."

Pentecost: Be Filled with The Holy Spirit

Jesus couldn't wait for his friends to meet The Holy Spirit. Scripture encourages us to friends with, be filled with, and fully surrender to Him. The outpouring on Pentecost highlights the original "marking moment" where the Spirit filled the Church, yet we are also called to ongoing "daily encounters" with this third person of the Trinity. Listen now to learn how we can welcome the Holy Spirit into our lives and more fully surrender to the will of God. Our prayer simple: "Come, Holy Spirit!"

Oaks of Righteousness

As sent ones, Jesus transforms us into "oaks of righteousness" who reflect God's beauty and glory amidst a world of brokenness and despair. Yet there is no renewal without righteousness and no righteousness without repentance. Wherever we are on our spiritual journey, each of us must heed the call to turn towards Jesus and away from the "old oaks" that offer false comfort and lead us astray.

Make Beautiful Things

Jesus promised to give us beauty for ashes and bring new life to that which is broken and destroyed in our world. As sent ones, each of us are called to do the same. Whether we create art that evokes wonder and inspires hope, build kingdom businesses that put human dignity and ethics first, love our children and spouses in ways that transform traumatic family narratives, or whatever else our hand finds to do, God invites us to make beautiful things as we join him in making all things beautiful. 

Heal the Sick

Jesus is in the business of healing the sick. Even before the resurrection, he sent his disciples out to do the same. From the apostles to the early Christians in Acts, we see a church full of the Holy Spirit and faith, leaving comfort to get close to the hurting, broken, and wounded and demonstrate the good news of God's kingdom. But does Jesus expect us to do the same today? Spoiler alert: Yes. 

Open Your Homes

Jesus' model of discipleship often took place around tables and over shared meals. He calls the whole church to continue his disciple-making mission, not just a pastor in a pulpit. One of the simplest, most significant ways we can do this is by opening our homes to others and setting tables as we welcome them into our lives.In this message and panel discussion among core culture carriers within our church, we dive into the profound impact of radical hospitality, sharing stories of personal transformation and community building through the simple practice of "setting tables". Whether you're in college, married, or single, everyone can set the table for someone else, building connections that transcend differences and showcase the very heart of Jesus' teaching.

Seek the Lost

Jesus is the Good Shepherd who seeks his lost sheep and brings them home. As friends of Jesus, this should bring us great joy. As followers of Jesus, sent by our Father and empowered by the Holy Spirit to join Jesus' mission, his love should motivate us to go seek lost sheep, too. But how do we do it? And what kind of heart ought we have in the process? Listen now to learn more. 

So I Send You

Jesus' story doesn't end on Easter. The Church's story begins.
After his resurrection, Jesus breathes the Holy Spirit into his disciples and sends us out to redeem, restore, and renew the world he died for. Each of us has been uniquely gifted to carry out this mission in many ways as we await Jesus' return, but before we start "doing the stuff" we must check our motivations and remember our identity.
To prepare our hearts for the mission before us, we ask two questions as we enter a new season together at All Saints: Who sent you? And what Spirit are you under?

The Tomb Was Empty // The Dawn Has Come

Jesus of Nazareth claimed to be the Son of God and promised all who believe in him eternal life. For those claims, he was betrayed, crucified, killed, and buried by the very people he came to save. Then something unexpected happened: Three days later, his tomb was found empty. This fact created confusion for his disciples in their predawn discovery as they wrestled with what this might mean. Two thousand years later, we too must respond to this fact. Thankfully, the resurrected Jesus appears to tell us exactly what it means: He is risen. Death is defeated. The dawn has come at last.
