How To Love | He Loved First

God doesn't just have love or feel love. God is love. And that love works to dispell our fears and form us into the image of Jesus as sons and daughters of God.  (1 John 4:16-19)

How To Love | Habits Of Love

Jesus said we'd be known by the love we have for one another. But this love doesn't happen by accident. We need intentional, consistent habits as a community that help us become the kind of family God has called us to be. (Matthew 22:37-40)

Pentecost Sunday | New Family, New Mission

As we close out our 36 week journey through the Scriptures together we've called #Restoried, our narrative culminates in the coming God's Spirit, giving birth to the family we call Church. (Acts 2:1-11)

Practicing Resurrection | As It Is In Heaven (Ascension Sunday)

22 times in the New Testament, the writers speak of Jesus setting down at the right hand of God. Why does the ascension matter, and how does it empower and embolden us for mission?

Practicing Resurrection | Love Makes Room For Difference

When the way we practice our faith in a way that excludes brothers and sisters in Christ, we're undermining the gospel. Because unity is a priority, we make room for differences on secondary matters and center our lives together around Jesus. 

Practicing Resurrection | Culture Wars Or A Common Life?

In Acts 15, we see the growing cultural tension between Jewish Christians and the new Gentile believers. Instead of seeing Jesus through the lens of our culture, politics and traditions, we make him Lord - and together as a new family, commit to rethinking everything in light of Jesus. (Acts 15:1-19)

Practicing Resurrection | Listen And Go

In Acts 8, Philip teaches us that God is already at work in places we'd never expect - and it's our job to be open, dependent, and expect God to call us to places where people will encounter Christ through our obedience. 

Practicing Resurrection | Rethinking What We Thought We Believed

In Luke, the first recorded act of Jesus after His resurrection was a walk with a couple of friends - two disciples who are disoriented because the story they thought they were in didn't come to pass. In this Emmaus walk, we see a framework for understanding the ups and downs of our spiritual journey, and how Jesus walks with us each step of the way. (Luke 24:13-35)

Bearing With-ness | Our First In Person Gathering In 56 weeks!

After 56 weeks, we're gathering in person in a limited capacity for worship! In this message, Justin talks about the ministry of presence, and how - like Jesus - we're called to an embodied faith. (John 1:1-5,14)

Easter Sunday: A Resurrection People

The tomb is empty. But what does that mean for who we are in the here and now? (Luke 24:1-12)
