How often do we stop working, and make time to look back and thank God for all He's done? The Feast of Trumpets was an opportunity for the people of God to express their worship through recognition and reliance: recognizing God's faithfulness in the previous year, and relying on God's faithfulness in the upcoming year. This week, we explore how we can express this worship of gratitude annually, monthly, weekly, and daily.

If you ever want to know what the love of God looks like, it looks like hospitality. We're reminded that God doesn't just save us, he sustains us. God doesn't just deliver us, he dwells with us. This week, we study the Festival of Tabernacles and learn how we can worship God today through hospitality.

We imagine spiritual maturity as the need to confess less. But it's actually the opposite. Spiritual maturity means more confession, not less. This week, we study the Festival of Unleavened Bread, as we continue learning about the different expressions of worship we can bring before God at the altar.

For many of us, the Sunday worship gathering feels irrelevant or disconnected from the rest of the week. This leads to a passive engagement that places a bulk of the responsibility on spiritual leaders to feed us and stir us up to worship. But we find that God actually expects all of his people to show up, prepared with something to offer him. This week, we explore what kind of sacrifices God is longing for at the altar and how we can bring him our world in worship.

For the people of God, rebuilding the altar of worship started with a radical reshaping of how they spent their time. But it wasn't just their daily schedules that revolved around worship. Their entire year was reoriented towards worship. Last week, we talked about what it means to reclaim the clock. This week, we talk about reclaiming our calendars for worship.

The most important element of Christian worship is time. Living a life of worship requires us to radically redefine how we approach time and how we use it. This week, we explore how time is not meant for productivity, but for faithfulness.

After returning from exile, God gave the Israelites instructions for how to use their gold and silver—not to build idols, but to build vessels for worship. Today, He calls us to do the same. In this message, we explore how generosity leads us away from financial stress and into deeper worship, community, and purpose. And we look at how generosity reorients us toward God, empowers the church to serve others, and shapes us into people of faith and joy.

Why do we gather as a church? What is the purpose and design for our Sunday gatherings each week? In the book of Ezra, the temple lay in ruins because the people had forgotten what the temple was designed to do. Rebuilding the house of the Lord meant rediscovering its purpose and design. This week, we get to the heart of why we gather as a church, and what should happen every time we get together.

In a world full of complex issues and divided opinions — even among faithful Christians — what does it mean to follow Jesus with honesty and humility? This week, we explore how to find comfort with uncertainty. Drawing from Paul’s letter to the Romans and the teachings of Jesus, we see how God invites us into a deeper kind of faith — one built not on having all the answers, but on trusting Him through the questions.

Whenever God wants to do something in our world, He always looks for a people whose hearts are open and available to being moved by Him. We find in the book of Ezra, that the first people to return back home out of exile, were those whose hearts were moved by God. They were the first responders. This week, we explore how we can be the first responders to what God's doing in our unique context.
