Pour Out Your Life at Jesus' Feet

What do you give to the Person who has given you everything and needs nothing from you? How should we respond to the sacrificial love and life-giving power Jesus displays in our lives? What should the church be known for? Mary of Bethany answers all these questions with one radical, costly act of love and worship as she pours out her life at Jesus' feet. She is the model disciple who shows each of us the only appropriate way to respond to the gospel: with everything we have.

Looking for Jesus w/ Evan Wickham

Everybody is looking for Jesus, but why? To respond to his life-giving work with trust? Or to reject his authority wherever his agenda goes against our own? Reflecting on John 11:45-57, Pastor Evan Wickham of Park Hill Church explores how our inner motives often blind us to the truth of Jesus as we spin reality to fit our stories instead of his. Yet the Holy Spirit stands ready to lead us into deeper trust for Jesus as we confess our need and take steps of faith, even when it costs us our old ideas and prior commitments. And the good news remains: Jesus' way is better. 

Jesus Raises the Dead (For Real)

The story of Mary, Martha, and Lazarus reaches its dramatic conclusion as Jesus raises his beloved friend from the grave. This story both recounts a historical miracle and reveals a deeply spiritual gospel truth: Dead things don't stay dead around Jesus. With a word from his mouth, Jesus calls each of us out of our hopeless situations and into new life. Will we "hope against hope" and cooperate with his mighty work in the world so that others see his glory, too?

Jesus' Response to Our Grief

Jesus doesn’t abandon, punish, or shame us for our grief; instead, he grieves with us. Jesus knows that hope and new life await us on the other side of our trials and tragedies, but he doesn’t rush our process; instead, he gives permission and presence on the way to the promise. Jesus is good, and his mercy endures forever. May he meet you right where you are so you may know you are never alone or abandoned. Listen now to learn more.

The One You Love Is Sick: Trusting Jesus in Times of Suffering

On the road to resurrection, Jesus raises Lazarus from the dead–a costly decision that prefigures Jesus' own path to the cross. But even though we know the end of the story, we cannot skip the hard parts. Before the miracle comes the praying, the suffering, the uncertainty, the longing, the grief. Jesus enters our human experience to redeem these parts of our stories, too.
In response to the great and costly love God demonstrates in the narrative of Lazarus, Mary, and Martha, the church today can have full confidence in God's power to save and desire to make himself known in our trials. That's why we can send for Jesus in our suffering, trust God's character when he feels far away, and have courage to choose compassion over comfort as we enter the suffering of others.
 

The Song You Were Made For

There is a song all Israel, all humanity, has been waiting to hear. We may have caught little whispers on the wind and went searching for it, or even tried to play it ourselves and given up. Yet it remains a song that is meant for us, and Jesus came to play it perfectly... But when we hear the music, how will we respond?

A Year of Sundays: Let's Grow Deeper in Love

This Sunday, we celebrated a whole year of gathering together as All Saints Church! We gathered early for local donuts, coffee, and good music before heading upstairs to celebrate where we've been and cast vision for where we're going. Listen now to learn where we feel the Lord is leading us, how you can help us get there, and, most importantly, the kind of "love one another" people we are called to be along the way.

Buy Oil w/ Brad McKoy

Buying oil is Jesus’ language for the costly decisions we make to pursue God’s presence and prepare ourselves for His return. Like the wise virgins in Jesus’ parable, we want to be a community that buys oil together and remains open to and ready for all the good things Jesus has for us, all the ways he wants to grow his kingdom in and through our lives. Join us on a journey through the Parable of the Ten Virgins in Matthew 25 as we seek the face of the One who seeks us first.
