Does your life look the same as it did three years ago? Are you more secure, more free, or more loving? In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we learn that God calls everyone to grow and mature, but we need a plan. We don't drift into maturity – it's the result of moving on mission with God.
If worship is just singing a song and mission is just a one-week trip, then maybe we're missing out on all God has for us in these areas. In this message by Pastor John Stickl, we discover how worship and mission are more connected and more important than we thought possible.
When grace flows into our lives, mission flows out. When we receive God's grace, we naturally start to live on mission to love and invite those around us. In this message by Pastor Jason Hillier, we took some time to respond to what the Holy Spirit has been saying to us about living on mission.
We have a lot of different ideas about what it means to live on mission. For some, it's just about salvation for when you die, but what if it's about so much more? In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we can see that mission is more about helping people live a life of purpose and freedom right now – not just through our words, but through our whole lives.
Living on mission can feel complicated, but what if it's as simple as loving the people nearby? In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we see the parable of the Good Samaritan in a new light. We learn that true compassion takes action and love gets involved in the lives of the people around us.
We know that Jesus said, "Come follow me, and I will make you fishers of men", but what does that mean? In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we break down what it means to follow Jesus into a life of being on mission through invitation and inclusion.
The word "mission" can mean different things. So, what does it look like to live on mission with Jesus? In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we begin to understand that people are not an interruption to our lives, but the point of our lives. And God chose us to help people discover that Jesus is available to them today.
Part of moving forward is reflecting back. This weekend we responded to all God has been speaking to us in this collection of talks on movement. As we move forward, we celebrate and ask, listen, and respond together to God's voice.
When we want to know if something is alive, we look for movement. The same is true for our spiritual lives. In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we see that movement is the evidence of life, and God is inviting us to move with Him into the unknown.
We tend to think that following God is a straight line towards the destination of heaven. But, what if it's less direct than that? What if it's less about getting somewhere than being with someone? In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we learn about the walls we may hit on our journey with Jesus and how He leads us one next step at a time.
Are you saved? What does "saved" even mean, and how is it relevant to our lives right now? In this message from Pastor John Stickl, we talk about salvation, the gospel, and what it would look like if we acted as if the "good news" were true.
We all have times when we feel unsatisfied. It's that feeling of being restless in your soul. What if that was God's grace leading you back to Himself? In this message from Pastor John Stickl we learn that divine discontentment is explored for what it is – God using what we want to show us Who we need.
We can’t make God move, but we can prepare for when He does. In the first talk in "A Collection of Talks," Pastor John Stickl shares five ways to cultivate our hearts for a move of God. God has so much He wants to say to us, and revival requires hearts that are ready.
What gets in the way of acting on what God has spoken to us is, most often, ourselves. We want to fix ourselves with external things, but God wants to heal our souls from within. In this message from Pastor Becca Reynolds, we learn that, to truly overcome, we must come under the will of God so we can live free.
Failure just means to fall short, but we tend to think it's fatal. Failure can feel final, but what if it's just an opportunity to receive God's grace? What if the story we're telling ourselves is that our failure is more powerful than God's grace? In this message from Eric Sommerhauser, we explore four questions that help us to process our failures and overcome them with God's grace.
What do you use to escape the pressure or what brings you comfort? Anything other than God is an idol in our lives. In this message from Justin Lanham, we learn how idolatry steals our freedom and how to overcome it with small acts of obedience. True identity helps us overcome false idolatry.
Today, we gathered as one church to pay attention and call attention to the goodness of God all around us. We practiced celebration by worshipping, praying, and taking communion together. We celebrated that we have access to the kingdom of God through Jesus as His beloved sons and daughters! What are you celebrating today?
Most of us think that we're pretty secure, but what are we secure in? In this message from Dawson Shields, we learn from the life of Moses that anything we place our security in other than Jesus is misplaced trust, but we can overcome insecurity with humility.
Have you ever felt left out or overlooked? Have you ever felt like your life is just not that significant? In this message from Caleb Chapple, we see how King David was a person just like us who struggled through feeling insignificant and show us through his life how to overcome it.
Looking out for ourselves seems logical, but what if it's really just selfishness in disguise? In this message from Karrie Johnston, we talk about the story of Ruth and how we were made to overcome selfishness by becoming servants.
