season 01, 02.10 | easter wednesDAY
Tonight we celebrate the morning Jesus was raised to life and the incredible significance of the resurrection in our lives today!
season 01, 02.09 | palm wednesday
Tonight we look at the arrest and execution of Jesus, exploring what his last week was like and why it unfolded the way it did. Jesus, the Lamb of God, the Prince of Peace, enters Jerusalem like only he could, to accomplish something that only the Son of God was able to.
season 01, 02.08 | the soil
There’s no doubt stories are powerful. Jesus tells a famous parable about four soils, meant to represent the conditions of a human heart. If we pay close attention, we’ll see the way Jesus uses story to disarm our defenses and capture our hearts with his truth.
season 01, 02.07 | the treasure
Jesus taught in a lot of different ways, but one of his go-to’s was to tell stories, or parables. Tonight we look at one of his many parables, exploring a deeper meaning behind a simple sentence Jesus spoke that has wide implications for us a few thousand years later.
season 01, 02.06 | in the middle
We continue looking at significant moments in Jesus' teaching by looking at the concept of liminal space, and how Jesus called his followers out of an in-between time in their life and gave them the authority to change the world.
season 01, 02.05 | the leper
Jesus’ encounter with a leper demonstrates that he cares about wholeness and restoration in every aspect of life. We explore the Old Testament teaching of shalom – peace – to understand the scope of Jesus’ death and resurrection and how it challenges us as people who belong to God to carry this grace and peace within us to our communities and cities.
season 01, 02.04 | around the table
Jesus continues to collect an unlikely group of followers as he brings an enemy of the people, a tax collector, into the fold. What the calling of Matthew accomplished at the time, continues to happen through Jesus again and again today. As we explore the way Jesus moves in spite of us and invites us to his table over and over again, we are confronted with grace and given opportunity.
season 01, 02.03 | the blessed
We continue our look at significant moments in the book of Matthew by studying all eight Beatitudes together. We will explore the intent of these iconic exclamations Jesus made to his closest followers, and unpack them, seeing how they build on one another and challenge us in our posture towards God and one another.
season 01, 02.02 | what’s next?
Jesus is inviting you on the journey of a lifetime, a story that is so much bigger than anything you can write on your own. Yet, way too often we decide to sit back, stay where we are, and allow our comfort to win out. Instead, let's identify and follow through on practical next steps in our walk with Jesus to fully live the life he has for us.
season 01, 02.01 | the wilderness
We launched this church by looking at the story of Jesus’ arrival on earth, and we’re going to continue to examine the extraordinary moments from this very peculiar life he lived. Today we explore how John the Baptist and Jesus’ temptation in the wilderness prepared the world for a new King and the coming of a new Kingdom.
