It’s My Life
God has invited us to join Him in the work of this world, but are we allowing Him to join us in the work of our life? Pastor Brent takes a look at Psalm 127, encouraging us to partner with God in all that we do. As we allow ourselves to partner with God, we start focusing less on doing the “right things” and more on being the “right people” that follow Jesus together.
Every Breath You Take
Psalm 139 is a beautiful reminder of God’s nearness in both the joys and difficulties of life. Pastor Brent and Amy explore this famous passage, revealing what it means to be fully known by a good God.
I Heard It Through the Grapevine
Stories are important, especially when it comes to remembering God’s work in our lives. Although we are quick to forget all God has done, psalms like Psalm 78 demonstrate the importance of sharing one’s story. This particular psalm tells a story of God’s people and His relationship with them, reminding the author of the passage and its readers of God’s faithfulness across generations. What is the story we are telling, and what is the story we are living?
You Can’t Always Get What You Want
Why do bad things happen to good people, and why do good things tend to happen to bad people? It’s a fair question that the author of Psalm 73 considers in an authentic way. When we meet with God, however, He often gives us a new perspective on the circumstances of our lives, revealing who we are, who God is, and what it actually means to be prosperous.
Walk This Way
The book of Psalms teaches us how to walk with God in a broken world. As we explore this beautiful book of Scripture throughout the summer, Pastor Brent begins by looking at Psalm 1. Here, we ask ourselves what consumes our minds, hearts, and actions. Whatever shapes your thinking shapes your life and walk with God.
Our Response
Now that we’ve explored who Jesus is, it’s time to respond. Pastor Brent and Pastor Amy dive into the various responses to Jesus we see in Scripture, encouraging us to follow Jesus in every facet of our lives.
Message
As we rediscover who Jesus is, we may also need to rediscover what His message was. Jesus spoke about the Kingdom of God more than just about anything else. Pastor Brent explores His message, ultimately encouraging us to remember that Jesus does and will still move among us as we work to establish the Kingdom of God.
Politics
Politics consume us. They tend to inform the way we see ourselves, our neighbors, and the world around us. What does Jesus have to say about our political leanings, though? Was Jesus even political? Listen as Pastor Brent shares about this divisive subject, teaching us that no political party or politician can save the world—only Jesus can do that.
Jesus & the Outcasts
Jesus loved the easiest people to hate, showed respect to the disrespected, and blessed those who could offer nothing in return. He championed the outcasts of society, demonstrating His incredible love and compassion to all who came near and challenging us to do the same.
Economics
Despite the power money holds over us as individuals and a society, Jesus calls us to live differently. The invitation to follow Jesus is also an invitation to live as generously as He did. Pastor Brent continues our Rediscovering Jesus series, challenging our obsession with wealth and calling us to follow the authentic Jesus.
Compassion
Jesus was known by his radical compassion. His compassion wasn’t just an emotional response; it was also a physical one that led to the relief of pain and alienation. We too can grow in compassion by sitting at the feet of Jesus.
Is Jesus for Real?
Will the real Jesus please stand up? In a world of counterfeits, it’s difficult to determine who the real Jesus is. This Easter Sunday, Pastor Brent explores the resurrection of Jesus. Who was there? How did it happen, and what does this pivotal moment tell us about who Jesus is?
