UNCOMMON | Wk 1 - Uncommon Faith | Pastor Chris (opens the original)
Read excerpt
How do you live faithfully in a world that is constantly trying to form you? Daniel never chose Babylon. Babylon happened to him. He was taken from everything familiar and forced to build a life inside a culture that didn’t share his faith. Yet Daniel shows us another way to live. He didn’t isolate himself from Babylon, and he didn’t allow Babylon to determine who he became. In Week 1 of UNCOMMON , Pastor Chris explores what Daniel’s story teaches us about identity, conviction, courage, and alle
Come Back To The Table | Pastor Kim (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Sometimes we don’t walk away from Jesus. We simply begin following Him from a distance. In this message, Pastor Kim Hoyt walks through Peter’s journey from the charcoal fire where he denied Jesus to the charcoal fire where the risen Jesus prepared him breakfast. Peter came carrying failure, regret, and shame, but Jesus didn’t make him earn his way back. The meal was already prepared. Through Hebrews 10 and John 21, Come Back to the Table reminds us that Jesus is still inviting us to draw near, r
True Fiction | Wk 10 - Kingdom Invitation | Tara Schwartz (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if the invitation has already been sent, the table is already set, and the only question left is whether we’ll actually come?

The servants are told to go into the streets and

Read excerpt
What if one of Jesus’ most famous stories about hell… isn’t really about hell? In Week 9 of True Fiction: The Parables of Jesus , Pastor Chris Hoyt unpacks the story of The Rich Man and Lazarus from Luke 16:19–31, a parable filled with wealth, poverty, judgment, a great chasm, and even flames. But when we look at the conversation surrounding the story, Jesus may be confronting something much closer to home. The rich man had everything he needed, while Lazarus suffered right outside his gate. The
True Fiction | Wk 8 - Kingdom Grace | Pastor Kim (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What if grace feels unfair because we’re still trying to calculate who deserves it? In Week 8 of True Fiction: The Parables of Jesus , Pastor Kim Hoyt unpacks Jesus’ Parable of the Workers in the Vineyard from Matthew 20:1–16, where some workers labor all day while others show up with only an hour left. But when payday comes, the generosity of the landowner challenges everyone’s definition of what is fair. Jesus uses this story to confront something deeply human in all of us: our tendency to com
