This week, we begin a new series, Chef's Special. We will be looking at some of the most frequent themes that appear throughout the book of Luke. In this message, Pete shares about money, walking us through the story of a man who stored up plenty of riches on earth, just to lose it all when his life was taken.
Have you ever experienced disappointment that made it difficult to follow Jesus? How do we live out our faith when we're blindsided by unmet expectations? In this week's message from Luke, Pete tells us how Jesus helped his followers through their disappointment around Jesus' death.
Are you struggling to make an impact in the world around you for God's Kingdom? In this week's message from Luke, Pete talks about the incredible things God can do if we just make ourselves available, even if all we have is a few loaves of bread and some fish.
What does a community centered around Christ look like? How does one eat a meal without elbows? In this week's message from Luke, Pete gives us some insight on both of these questions through one of Jesus' parables about fighting for a seat of honor at the table
Do you ever find yourself so caught up in the things on your to-do list that you ignore the things that really matter? In this week's message from Luke, Jesus reveals the one thing that should be at the top of everyone's list every single day.
What prompts people to go all in for Jesus? What does going all in even look like? In tonight's message from Luke, a desperate woman offers Jesus an expression of gratitude that is awkward at best, but scandalous at worst.
Where do you feel like you belong? Have you ever wondered if Christianity is for you? This week we kick off our new message series exploring the meals of Jesus through the gospel of Luke. In tonight's message, Jesus invites an unexpected guest to the table and ends up changing someone’s life forever.
This week we start a new series as we step into the second half of the book of Exodus. Not long after entering the desert, the Israelites encounter one of their biggest threats: themselves. In three episodes we learn about God's grace and the importance of dependance on Him.
How we see the world will determine whether we live full of faith, or constantly attacked by fear. While we all go through challenging circumstances in life, we don't have to go through those circumstances alone. Listen to the final message in the Straight Outta Egypt series to discover the most important dimension of our lives.
Have you ever wanted to encounter God? This week, we look at Moses’ encounter with God at a burning bush, where he learned about God’s love and God’s plan.
