In this series, we’re going to talk about miracles–why? when? and do they happen today? Jake opens by looking at one of Jesus’ lesser known miracles, in which he restores the sight of a blind man in a very unorthodox manner.

If you’re a Christian, you probably know that you’re free… and yet you’ve also probably felt stuck, helpless, and in bondage. How do we get unstuck? And why don’t we feel free?

Even the most successful people in recorded history often feel unfulfilled. Why don’t we ever feel as though we have what it takes?

We all feel the need to belong from a young age. Where does that need come from, and what do we try to do to fill it? Can we ever feel as though we truly belong?

This week, Jake opens our new series about “felt needs” – needs we all have but that that we don’t often talk about – with a message about our need to be known, and how God can meet that need even though He often feels distant.

Jake and Garrett team up for the last message in this series: a sobering rundown of what isn’t working in today’s churches, and a proposal for how we hope to make a real difference by doing things really differently. Plus, your questions about groups answered!

The amount of pain and need in the world can be completely overwhelming. We can’t help everyone – but as Christians we can’t turn a blind eye and help no one, either. Jake shares a simple principle that we can use to make a difference.

We’re a church that says that we believe in missional living … in fact, we believe it’s the key to making disciples. Jake kicks off the series by unpacking some of the Biblical metaphors that call us to let our faith be known.

Bob wraps up our series on Ruth with the story of Ruth’s redemption through Boaz, and the ways in which it parallels our own redemption through Jesus.

Ruth’s story is about both providence and redemption, and today Jake brings these themes together to talk about the way God provides for us in ways that often aren’t at all obvious at the time.
