The Whole Church | What The Spirit Grows In Us

How do we know that the Holy Spirit is at work in us? Some point to the power and prominence of our gifts. But Jesus points us somewhere different – to the fruit of His character growing in us.

The Whole Church | (Re)Introducing The Holy Spirit

Depending on your background and experience in faith, talking about the Holy Spirit can be intimidating – and sometimes come with a lot of baggage. In this message, we’re giving our attention to how Jesus understood and lived in the power of the Holy Spirit – and how His promise for us is far better news than we often dare to dream.

The Whole Church | Pentecost

In this special message, Justin unpacks the meaning of Pentecost before interviewing Dr. Ananthi Jebasingh (founder of Friends Of The Good Samaritan) about the Good Samaritan School, how she's seen God answer prayer, and what it takes to sustain our faith for the long haul. 

Revelation | Come, Lord Jesus

Revelation ends with a simple prayer - a prayer that acts as both a cry of defiance and dependence: come, Lord Jesus. How do we live in a world in which His reign sometimes feels absent? And how might we seek this future we pray for in the present?

Revelation | Hell, Judgment, And The Heart Of God

Not many topics have shipwrecked people’s faith more than the idea of hell – and God’s judgment. So how do we understand these difficult passages in Revelation? And how do we understand them through the lens of God’s heart for restoration? (Revelation 21:6-8, 22-27)

Revelation | All Things New

It can feel like the only choices we have right now are blind optimism and cynical pessimism. But when we look to the end of history and see the trajectory of our Story in Christ, we find another option: radical, stubborn hope. Our story doesn’t end in ruin, but restoration. (Revelation 21:1-6)

Revelation | The Diversity Of Heaven

In Revelation 7, John sees a vision of the family of God in heaven – a vision marked by the diversity and difference of ethnicities, cultures and nationalities worshiping as one. Not only is this picture of heaven a hopeful encouragement for our future, it’s a calling and challenge for our present. In a world where our differences are often demonized, we’ve been called to a supernatural unity in Christ. (Revelation 7:9-17)

Revelation | Follow The Lamb

As we continue to read through the book of Revelation, the powers of evil are represented by beasts and dragons. But our God? Our God is… a Lamb. Strange, right? In this message, we’ll unpack why this is so important not only to our understanding of God character and purpose in Christ, but why this vision of our future is so empowering for our present. (Revelation 5:1-14)

Revelation | Allegiance To Jesus

Revelation is known to be one of the more intimidating and controversial books in the entire Bible. Years of late night televangelists, rapture best-sellers, and strange conspiracies have left many of us unsure about what it really means – and why it matters. This week, we’re tackling not only why Revelation matters to people like us, but why it’s primary message – allegiance to Jesus – has never been more relevant. (Revelation 1:4-8)

Easter | The Death Of Death

He is risen indeed! In this Easter message, we look to why the resurrection of Jesus matters for our lives. The world we inhabit is dark and heavy, and it can feel like death always has the final word. But what we find in the empty tomb is not only a hope for our future, but a promise for our present.

(1 Corinthians 15:19-26)
