We Have an Everlasting Father w/ Tinika Wyatt

Join us as Tinika Wyatt shares the hope we have in Jesus, sent by an Everlasting Father to bring salvation, light, and hope into every dark situation we face. That same God empowers us to be the light we've received to others in our daily lives. The question is, do we look like our Father in heaven?

Mary's Yes: Embracing Hope in the Unknown

In this Advent season, we're reminded of the importance of waiting with hope, filling our lives with stories of God's ultimate triumph and love, and the Spirit's sanctifying work within us as we wait for God's promises to come to pass. Mary's story in Luke's gospel invites us to ponder the concept of freedom through surrender and the role of stories in shaping our spiritual imagination. Embrace the light in the darkness with us as we prepare for the miracle of Christ's coming and the promise of his return.

Advent: Wonderful Counselor

The season of Advent invites us into a period of intentional waiting, as we prepare our hearts for the coming of Christ. Such waiting transforms our spiritual lives and unites us to the long story of redemption and rescue recorded in Scripture and fulfilled in the life of Jesus. Discover how this sacred season invites us to embrace God’s light in our shadows, seek divine wisdom in our circumstances, and find comfort in our weary souls.

Building a Life That Endures

In the final message of our Sermon on the Mount series, we are faced with a choice: Live out Jesus' wisdom in our daily lives, or go back to business as usual. Embracing Jesus' teachings leads to a flourishing and enduring life, even amidst the inevitable storms that come our way, because his word is a foundation that cannot be moved. Rejecting his teachings leads to a life that looks sturdy, but will ultimately crumble. Wisdom cries out in the street. Will you answer?

Follow Jesus or Die

From our series, "Sermon on the Mount." As Jesus prepares to send his disciples back down the mountain, he warns them, and us, that our ability to enter his kingdom depends on how we respond to his message. Will we embrace Jesus as the True King and obey his teachings as he guides us down the narrow path that leads to life? Or will we choose the path of least resistance that leads only to destruction? What's more, wolves lie in wait to devour, pretending to be sheep so they can lead us astray. But don't worry: wolves don't win in this story. Jesus does. We have only to keep hold of his outstretched hand.

Jesus' Vision for Relationships

From our series, "Sermon on the Mount." Jesus envisions a kingdom, his church, where we truly pursue the best interest of other people through sacrificial love, self-aware mercy, and truth-telling, especially when it’s hard. But we will only commit to working through relational conflict once we catch Jesus' vision for community. In a world of church hurt, burnt bridges, and broken relationships, Jesus invites us to (re)build cathedrals of love in which God can dwell–and He gives us the tools to do it. 

Seek First the Kingdom

From our series "Sermon on the Mount." In the midst of a broken world full of broken people who perpetuate broken systems, God's kingdom alone will last forever. That's why Jesus says: Don't worry. Seek first. God got you. What he means is: Center your life around your heavenly Father's will, and watch him take care of you. Are you not worth more than many sparrows? Listen now to learn more. 

Cultivating a Life of Spiritual Disciplines

From our series, "Sermon on the Mount". To become more like Jesus, we must practice doing the things he did in the way he did them. This includes cultivating a life of spiritual disciplines, which are intentional rhythms and practices that guide our growth and shape our souls so that we can live a life of true human flourishing. Join us as we explore two of them, prayer and fasting, and hear the invitation from Jesus to center our lives on His will alone. 

No Need Among Us

From our series, "Sermon on the Mount." Jesus' teaches us the greater way of doing right to one another in every area of life, including how we manage our finances. In Matthew 6:1-4, we discover that Jesus expects us to give generously to those in need and corrects our motivations for doing so–not to please people or win temporary praise, but to please God and receive eternal rewards. As always, the life he invites us into is for our flourishing. And as we follow him, we are called to help others flourish as well.

Flourishing Through Faith: Jesus on Marriage, Singleness, and Desire

From our series, "Sermon on the Mount." What is God's plan for sexual desire and marriage? And what role should our desires play in our decision making? In the SOTM, Jesus shares his vision for human flourishing that leads to ultimate fulfillment, and this includes how we honor and relate to others with our sexuality, whether married or single. However, our culture and the Enemy of our Souls have a vision, too, and this tension confronts us: How does my vision for true flourishing–for the good life–compares to Christ's?
