Collide Church

In a world full of competing voices and opinions, what we believe ultimately shapes how we live. In this opening message of our series, we explore what it means to believe in God the Father, Creator of heaven and earth. Through Scripture, we discover that God created everything, made us in his image, and cares for us as our heavenly Father. Because the God who made us knows us and loves us, we can trust him with every part of our lives.

Is the church awake, or have we grown comfortable in our spiritual sleep? In this fourth "Code Blue" message from Romans 13:11–14, we are reminded that the time to wake up is now. As we await the return of Jesus, we are called to discard the deeds of darkness, walk in holiness, and put on the Lord Jesus Christ. Spiritual complacency has real consequences, but God’s kindness invites us to repentance and new life. The question is urgent: Are you ready for the return of Christ? It’s time to wake up, live with purpose, and help others do the same.

What does it look like to stop living in the past and start walking into the future God has for you? In this third "Code Blue" message from Philippians 3:12–21, we will be reminded that because God’s people have been made new, we are called to walk in newness of life. Instead of allowing past failures or regrets to hold us back, we must press on toward the One who is making us perfect, remember the forgiveness we’ve received, and follow the example of those who faithfully walk with Jesus. The question is simple: Are you going to walk in the past or walk into your future?

What if the impossible becomes possible when God’s people come together? In this second message of our "Code Blue" series, we will explore the story of Babel in Genesis 11 and the birth of the church in Acts 2 to reveal the power of a people united by the Holy Spirit. When we unite around the right things, God can work through us to overcome division, strengthen families, and impact our communities. Discover three ways a united church moves forward together: serving together, giving together, and growing together. The church should be the place where the impossible becomes possible!

Revival begins when we stop pretending and return to God with our whole hearts. In this opening message of "Code Blue," we look at Joel 2 and discover that God’s invitation to repent is rooted in his grace, mercy, and steadfast love. Through Jesus, the way home is open. But returning to God isn’t just a feeling—it calls us to respond through confession, obedience, prayer, and surrender. Revival is not something we simply attend; it’s something God does in people who return to him. The question is simple: Where has your heart drifted, and what is God asking you to do about it?

In Amos 9, God brings his message of judgment to its conclusion — but judgment is not the end of the story. God promises to restore what has been broken, rebuild what has fallen, and abundantly bless his people. Ultimately, this promise points us to Jesus and the greater hope of God making all things new. As we close "Amos: The Roar of God," we are reminded that our sin and brokenness do not have the final word — Jesus does.

In Amos 7-8, God gives Amos a series of visions revealing both his patience and his judgment. God has given his people time to repent, but eventually the plumb line exposes what is out of alignment, and the time for judgment comes. This message challenges us to examine our own hearts by God’s unchanging standard rather than our own, reminding us that salvation is found only through Jesus — and that genuine faith produces a life increasingly aligned with him.

In Amos 6, God warns his people about the danger of spiritual complacency. Their comfort had made them numb, their possessions had become their security, and their success had convinced them they could live by their own strength. Amos reminds us that earthly comfort and self-sufficiency cannot ultimately protect us. Instead, we are called to stay close, stay humble, and stay surrendered to Jesus — because we never graduate from our need for him.

In Amos 5, God gives Israel a simple invitation: “Seek me and live.” But Israel had been seeking life in success, security, and even religious activity rather than in God himself. Amos confronts their false confidence and empty worship, reminding us that being around God is not the same as being right with God. Ultimately, the gospel points us to Jesus — the one who doesn’t just make bad people better, but brings dead people to life.

What does it mean to “prepare to meet your God”? In Amos 3-4, God confronts His people with a sobering warning, exposing how their sin, comfort, and religious activity had pulled their hearts away from him. Yet God’s discipline and warning are ultimately acts of love, giving his people an opportunity to return. And for us, the gospel reminds us that Jesus is the only way we can truly be ready to meet God.
