Decatur City Church

No one was looking for God to appear in person, yet Jesus came to make the invisible God unmistakably known.

It’s common to feel a tug-of-war between inner anxiety and recognizing God’s nearness. In this conversation with Andy Stanley and Steve Cuss, we’re invited to consider some false needs that may be steering our reactions.

First-century Israel expected a king who would overthrow Rome. Jesus offered a kingdom far bigger—and he had to redefine “Messiah” before they could see it.

A desperate situation leads to a bold move, but no one expects how Jesus responds. What He does next reveals something beneath the surface, something that could reshape the way you understand and live out faith.

Sometimes clarity comes from the most unexpected places. In this teaching, we explore a moment that breaks boundaries, challenges assumptions, and asks a question we may not be ready for.

Peter’s story takes a turn on a stormy night when he dares to step out of the boat. What begins as bold faith turns into a moment of sinking reality—and an unexpected glimpse of Jesus’ heart in the midst of doubt.

We set out to build a church where the convinced and the curious could belong.

It’s one thing to trust God when you’ve lost control; it’s another to resist acting like God once you’ve gained it.

When life goes from bad to worse, will you simply react—or respond as if God is still with you?

Your life isn’t defined by what’s been done to you, but by how you choose to respond—especially when every instinct says to react.
