Darkness + Dawn | Good Friday

Jesus is the man of sorrows - the God who suffers with us in our tears and suffers for us on the cross. 

When Words Fail: The King We Long For (Psalm 24)

On this Palm Sunday, we look to the psalm sung by the priests in the Temple every Sunday, which looked forward to the comong King of Glory. One Sunday, 2,000 years ago, that King arrived.

When Words Fail: Defiant Hope (Psalm 27)

Psalm 27 doesn't pretend like everything is fine. But is does call us to a deeper place in God - not apart from the battle, but within it.

When Words Fail: How Long? (Psalm 13)

In the midst of crisis, we turn to the Psalms to experience the full gamut of emotions and faith. This week, we look to Psalm 13, a prayer that lives in the tension between deep longing and unshakable hope. 

What Do We Do With Our Fear?

Like Churches all over the world, we're grappling with the ramifications of the coronavirus and it's impact on our city. As leaders, we're in the process of finding ways to remain connected and faithful in these times. In the meantime, here's a message from our pastor, Justin, called "What Do We Do With Our Fear?" (Psalm 112)

Reconciled Week 6: How Can A Loving God Have Wrath?

God is love. So how do we reconcile this with passages that speak of his wrath? (Ephesians 5:1-20)

Reconciled Week 5: Growing Into Our Calling

Guest speaker Matthew Yates unpacked Ephesians 4, which calls the Church to love one another through the empowered gifts that build us up together. 

Reconciled Week 4: Rooted In Love

Due to technical difficulties, our sermon podcast did not record Sunday. Instead, Justin sits down with our speaker, Kaleb Heitzman, to talk Ephesians 3, the centrality of love to following Jesus, and how love for our enemies lies at the heart of the Gospel. (Ephesians 3:14-21)

Reconciled Week 3: Tear Down The Walls Between Us

The work of reconciliation is central to the Gospel. But for reconciliation to take place, we must reckon with why it's necessary in the first place - especially when we talk about race in the American Church. As we remember our past, we find a meaningful way forward. (Ephesians 2:11-22)

Reconciled Week 2: Sin Meets Grace

Yes, our sin is great. But grace? It's always greater, because in Christ we are always being pursued by love. (Ephesians 2:1-10)
