What if your ordinary life is actually a mission field? In Acts 13, the church in Antioch sends Paul and Barnabas out - revealing a powerful truth about the heart of God: He is a sending God. And if you follow Jesus, that means you've been sent too. This message explores what it means to live a "sent life" - not just overseas or on mission trips, but in your neighborhood, workplace, school, and everyday routings. Through Paul's journey, we discover ho God directs our steps, works through vocations, and uses ordinary faithfulness to bring renewal and hope to the world around us. Your job. Your city. Your story. None of it is accidental. You have been sent.

The opening of Acts shows us a church that experiences the counter-intuitive, counter-cultural beside like that Jesus describes in his Sermon on the Mount. Moving forward in Acts the church is now carrying the life of the Kingdom into the world. As the Kingdom flows outward, the church experiences the intermingling of favor and persecution that Jesus taught them to expect. They see life emerge in the most difficult and unexpected places.

After being threatened and ailed, Peter and John boldly declare, "We cannot stop telling about everything we have seen and heard." In this message, we explore how we can grow into that same kind of boldness by being with Jesus, staying rooted in community, and relying on the Holy Spirit. You don't need all the answers - you simply need to share your story. Because God often works through one simple thing: people telling what they have experienced of Him.

In Acts we read a powerful and beautiful description of the church's life together. The church, empowered by the Holy Spirit, embodies new creation carrying God's life into the world through life-giving practices, centered around Jesus and His teachings.

Jesus calls his followers to be His witnesses - but most of us feel unqualified or hesitant to share our faith. In this message we look at how the Holy Spirit transforms ordinary people into witnesses of Jesus. This isn't about having all the answers - it's about being empowered by God's presence in us. You don't have to do this alone. The Spirit empowers you to share Jesus through your life, your words, and His work in you.

After the resurrection the disciples lock themselves behind closed doors in fear of persecution. Nothing changes when it comes to the persecution the church will face but seeing Jesus moves this fearful community to one marked by peace and joy.

It was still dark when Mary came to the tomb. What she expected to find was gone. What she discovered instead changed everything. This Easter, we enter the story of John 20 - a story of grief, searching and unexpected hope - and find that the risen Jesus is not distant, but present... calling us each by name.

Jesus reconciles us to God and each other through the cross, enabling us to live in peace, love, and service. Without Christ, we perpetuate the story of sibling rivalry, but through him, we are bound together and can reflect His love and service to others.

Pilate stands Jesus before all of Jerusalem making a statement that is tilled with mockery and political posturing but behind his comments are a declaration of God's saving work on display amongst the world.

Discover a kingdom unlike any other in this week’s sermon. From the violent successions of Roman emperors to Pilate’s interrogation of Jesus, we explore how earthly power is gained and held—and how Jesus introduces a reign not of this world. Learn what it means to live as citizens of the Kingdom of God, outposts of heaven in a chaotic world, and the daily choice to give your allegiance to the true King whose rule brings life, peace, and redemption.

In John 18 there are two trials taking place: Peter's and Jesus'. Peter, driven by fear, denies his connection to Jesus, hiding in darkness and deception. Jesus remains faithful, openly sharing the truth of his teachings and embracing his disciples. Peter represents all of us. Our relentless effort of self preservation, our looking out for our lives by any means necessary, our propensity to act out of fear, our lying, our deception, our hiding, our love of rate darkness, and our rejection of God. And Jesus, who stands in perfect contrast to us, will lay down his life on our behalf. He won't act out of self preservation, he will accomplish what we constantly strive to accomplish under our own power.

The Story | Two Trials

In this sermon on John 13:1-17, we see Jesus take the lowest position, washing his disciples' feet to show that true greatness comes through humble service. He challenges us to lay down pride, embrace unseen acts of love, and follow his example in our daily lives. This is the upside-down way of the kingdom - serving others as Christ first served us.

The man born blind didn't ask for the mud to be wiped over his eyes. It was an act of uninvited grace that covered his life. He was, however, invited by Jesus to be responsive to Jesus' work in his life.

Life’s storms can leave us feeling lost, exhausted, and unsure where God is—but just as Jesus came to His disciples walking on the sea, He comes to us in our moments of fear and darkness. Discover the powerful truth that even when we can’t see Him, He never loses sight of us. In the midst of life’s strongest storms, hear the voice of Jesus saying, “I AM. Do not be afraid.”

Jesus asks this question to a man who has spent 38 years unable to walk. Behind the question is an invitation into a life that's more than just stopping at the miraculous healing. Being made well will plummet the depths of every area of the man's life.

Nicodemus being surrounded by night is a texture used by John to clue us in on where Nicodemus' feet currently stand. Nicodemus is surrounded by night, but Jesus, who is the light stands before him. The conversation between the two captures the threshold we all find ourselves standing at between remaining where we're at and stepping into life in the Kingdom.

Rather than sounds of worship, the Temple court was filled with the sound of the marketplace. Space was made for cows and cash registers rather than the space for people to enter into the Father's House. Jesus' actions of clearing out the Temple, driven by zeal for His Father's House, demonstrate for us what the Father treasures, and what He treasures is you.

This week, we reflect on Jesus' first sign at the wedding in Cana (John 2:1-11) and explore what it means to notice the needs around us, bring them to Jesus, and join him as he transforms ordinary moments into a taste of his abundant and joyful kingdom.
