Jesus may not be present in the flesh, but he’s sent us the Holy Spirit to lead us into truth. Through power and conviction, the Spirit of God is precisely the resource we need to stay faithful and live out the mission God invites us into.

In John 16 Jesus is all the more intentional to equip his disciples for his absence, and for the opposition they will face. He foretells the hardship to come, but makes it clear he will be with them every step of the way. He says the same to us today -- no matter how dark things get.

We’re called into community, but not for community’s sake alone. God’s plan for his people is connected to his mission. What’s the mission? Letting the Good News spill out into every nook and cranny. As a result, broken hearts are restored and God’s family grows.

Are you led more by your head or your heart? Often in following Jesus, we’re prone to prioritizing one over the other. But it’s not either/or. It’s both/and. When it comes to the Christian life, the Gospel should compel us to worship and worship should point us back to the Gospel.

This week, we had the honor of hearing from Curtis Hall who serves on the leadership team at Mercy Fellowship in Marysville. He shared on the topic of faith and how it can change our lives. When we believe the promises God has made to us, it changes how we live in our present circumstances.

This week, Pastor Sean set the tone for the new year by taking us through the three temptations of Jesus - how he was tempted, how he responded, and how we can learn from him as we endeavor to stand firm heading into 2021.

As we conclude a challenging year, several people from Reach share stories of how God has continued to be faithful.

He was given a name upon arrival, a name that would change the course of human history. At Christmas, we gather around the name of Jesus Christ - the Son of God - the Savior of the world.

If we want to know true love, we need to first understand that love originated in God. When we look to him alone as our source of love, we are able to give that love away to others.

Joy cannot be separated from the arrival of Christ and what it means for humanity. If you’ve been lacking joy in your life, perhaps it’s because you’ve lost sight of the God who embodies it. Perhaps it’s time you make room for King Jesus to reintroduce you to the joy that’s found only in him.
