We Believe In (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In a culture full of competing claims about what “real” Christianity looks like, we’re going back to the ancient words the whole church has confessed for 1,700 years. This week: unpacking the first three words of the Nicene Creed — We. Believe. In. — and why the shape of that phrase might matter as much as anything that follows it.
Invited to Go (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For six weeks, Jesus has invited us to come — to rest, to belong, to be fed, to receive his Spirit, to step out in faith. In this final message of the Invited series, that word changes. Jesus’ last words to his disciples aren’t “come,” but “go and make disciples.” We explore what it really means to make a disciple (hint: it’s not a class or a program), and how every invitation we’ve received is meant to become an invitation we now extend to others.
Come Out of the Boat (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes we’re exactly where we’re supposed to be, and it’s still hard. Pastor Brent looks at Peter’s request to walk on water and asks what invitations we’re willing to ask for in our own storms.
Receive the Holy Spirit (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’d rather figure it out ourselves than ask for help — even from God. Pastor Brent explores Jesus’ invitation to receive the Holy Spirit, and what we tend to reach for instead.
Come and Eat and Drink (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What does Jesus actually offer when he says “come”? In this message, we trace two invitations from John’s Gospel: Jesus standing at the Festival of Tabernacles declaring himself the source of living water, and Jesus meeting his disciples on a beach after the resurrection with breakfast already cooking. Together they show a Jesus who cares not just about the state of your soul, but the whole of your life — body, mind, and heart.
