When the church first began, a natural question surfaced right away: What shall we do? The answer had to do more with understanding who your faith was in more than what needed to be done.

Being part of a local gathering of Jesus followers means you are part of something big. It’s up to each generation to determine what Christianity looks like, sounds like, and reacts like.

If you do not see God as a father, you will not see yourself as a son or daughter.

We all have a tendency to drift from God, but we’re never too far from God to restore our relationship with him.

When we get lost, it’s often the result of our own decisions—we wander, drift, or even run away from God. In the parable of the lost son, Jesus sheds light on how God views us when our choices lead us away—and how he responds when we’re ready to come home.

If the only things that concern you are about you, there is work to do. Ultimately, we save ourselves from ourselves by choosing not to be all about ourselves.

If something about the world is broken and it breaks your heart, there’s an opportunity to be a part of fixing it.

We believe following Jesus makes your life better and makes you better at life, and we want our local church to inspire people to follow him. In this message, Andy Stanley talks about how and why we do church the way we do.

The next time you feel insignificant or unqualified, remember the Christmas story. It’s a powerful reminder that our worth comes from God. He sees us, loves us, and wants to partner with us to invite others into God’s family.
