You've Got To Go To The U.P.! - HOME (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s possible to be around Jesus without actually making Jesus home. In John 15, Jesus calls Himself the true vine and reminds us that our identity, life, joy, and peace are found in Him. Not in our jobs, relationships, accomplishments, possessions, or anything else we might attach ourselves to. To abide in Jesus means to make our home in Him, allowing every area of our lives to feel the pull toward Him through dependence and obedience. As we begin Home , the invitation is simple: wherever you f

It doesn’t have to be complicated or time-consuming; small, inten

What does it look like to build your life and your family on something that won’t be shaken? In this message, we’re reminded that Jesus is our firm foundation, faithful yesterday, today, and tomorrow, even when life doesn’t go the way we expect. We also look at what it means to live out our faith beyond ourselves, sharing the gospel and helping make disciples both in our own city and around the world. When Jesus is at the center, our faith becomes something that shapes our families, our church,
Community - Form(ed) (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Life with Jesus is life with His family, and biblical community is something we’re called to intentionally pursue. In Acts 2, we see the early church gathering in both the temple and homes, building community through five simple patterns: eat, pray, play, share resources, and share a mission. Community doesn’t just happen, it takes persevering commitment, but it’s also one of the ways Jesus forms us to become more like Him. Whether you’re new to the area, hesitant about community, or have been h
