Join us as we continue our Completely Jesus series. This week focuses on the story of Jesus calling Matthew to be His Apostle. Matthew's story shows us that no one is too far gone to be used deeply by God. Despite being an enemy of the Jewish people, Matthew eventually was so captivated by the love of Chirst that he ended up reaching the very people who once despised him, the Jews! All of this despite the "low profile" Matthew had throughout Jesus' stories. God wants to use us in similar ways to make a massive difference in this world for His Kingdom if we'd leave our "tax booths" and follow Him. How might God be calling us to change the world?

This Easter Sunday we celebrate the resurrection of Christ! Today we study a passage told in each of the gospel accounts, with similar characters in each of the accounts. What do these individuals communicate about us, and our response to Christ's resurrection? Do we receive Him like we should? Do we have the right heart, but miss some of the application? Are we slow to see Him through our hang-ups? Each of us has a response we must give! Join us as we study this passage and find ourselves in the ancient Text together. Hosted on Ausha.

Join us as we continue looking at stories found in at least 3 of the 4 gospels. Today, Palm Sunday, we look at the story of the woman who pours anointing oil over Jesus' head, preparing Him for His burial. Why was this act so significant? And if Jesus proclaims that it is as significant as it is, then why don't we talk about it as much? What does it look like for us to "prepare" Jesus in similar ways today? Join us as we celebrate Jesus as King together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Join us this Sunday as we continue our "Uniquely Jesus" sermon series. This Sunday we focus on Satan's attempt to tempt Jesus in the wilderness. Each gospel author highlights the importance of this encounter. As Jesus proves to us He's the better Adam, and the better Israel who overcomes the tempting of Satan, there are tons of practical applications for us as well. What do we do about spiritual warfare? How can we overcome Satan's attacks in our life? What exactly is spiritual warfare and how does it often play itself out with us? Join us as we study this important passage together! Hosted on Ausha.

Join us as we kick off a new series entitled Completely Jesus. In this series, we'll look at stories told in more than one synoptic Gospel, asking ourselves what's so special about these stories that more than one author includes them. This week, we discuss one of Jesus's most popular miracles in the Gospels: the feeding of the 5000. We can learn a lot from this passage as it's the only miracle besides the resurrection to be included in all four Gospels. We will discuss how this story summarizes multiple Bible themes and reveals God's nature. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

This is second to last week in Amos as we look at one of the crescendos of the book. In this section there is a "showdown" between Amos, the prophet of God, and Amaziah, the priest of Bethel. Amaziah rejects Amos' message and, without realizing it, in rejecting this message is also rejecting God! Although we'd like to think of ourselves as Amos in this story, we too can take everything that we've studied in this series and completely reject it, either actively or passively. How do we allow the Words of God to truly change us, and what might God be calling us to do, as we conclude the series, to respond to His Words to us? Hosted on Ausha.

We are continuing in the book of Amos. Today we're discussing everyone's favorite topic: politics! In our political-heightened society we can often run head-long into politics (and often run straight into idolatry in the process!), or run away from it as fast as possible. What if there was a third approach? Studying Amos 8 gives us insight into how we can be careful with politics, yet also use it as a way to care for and to love our neighbor. Scripture gives us a way in which we can be extremely unified (even in the midst of our political diversity!) while not settling for apathy. Join us as we find this Kingdom-balance together!

Join us as we continue in our series in the book of Amos. In this sermon, we tackle the issue of poverty. Scripture seems to have conflicting messages about poverty, money, wealth, riches, etc. There are some things that are clear (we should treat those in poverty with dignity, love, sacrifice, and respect), others... not so much (is it bad to be rich?). Seeing how all of these messages in Scripture work together is actually key to our understanding of how we as Christians should deal with this issue of poverty, and how God expects us to help bring the Kingdom to it. Join us as we tackle this passage together. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

Join us as we talk about God's heart for how we address corporate injustice as Christians. Often when we think about justice we think about all of the ill of the world and feel overwhelmed. This is actually a good thing. Lamentation, which we’ll discuss briefly, can be a really good way to respond to all of the ills of life. However, we can also do more than just lament. We can respond with righteousness in smaller areas, being faithful where God has called us (e.g., focus on an area). Though subtle, it is clear that Amos is both pleading to God for mercy, and also doing his part (for him preaching) in helping create justice for others. We each have a part to play too. And if our heart, like God’s, bends towards mercy, we can really bless and serve others and push back darkness in the world. Hosted on Ausha. See ausha.co/privacy-policy for more information.

We continue in our series in the book of Amos. Today we tackle the topic of "spiritual injustice." Church hurt that is crated in individuals, often because of poor spiritual leadership, is a serious issue that God finds appalling. Further, God desires for people to know God, the true God, and worship Him. Both of these issues, spiritual abuse and spiritual neglect are issues that stirs God's emotions, and it should stir ours as well. Join us as we see the type of justice God wants from His people.
