Home is one of those things that’s hard to define. It’s people, it’s memories, it’s belonging—it’s a lot all at once.

This week in Long Story, Short, we’re stepping into a chapter of the Bible’s Big Story about being estranged from home—about exile. It’s not just a history lesson about something that happened long ago. It’s an invitation to consider the ways we still feel far from home… and the One who can bring us back.

The people wanted a king.A throne. A crown. A name.But it wasn’t what God had in mind.This Sunday we continue the Long Story, Short series—and explore what happens when we chase the wrong kind of power.

This Sunday at Emmaus we're diving into the book of Joshua, and yes—it’s got giants, battles, and a whole lot of hard questions. But it’s also a story about what happens when we dare to trust God in the face of fear.If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or afraid to take the next step—this one’s for you.

What does it mean to really be free? That's the big question we are getting into this Sunday.-This next chapter in The Big Story has to do with the giving of the Law. We will explore the intention behind the 10 Commandments and one of things that made Jesus so provocative in his day and age.

The story of the Exodus is one of the most memorable chapters in the Bible. Rescued from slavery and delivered out of bondage-a people shaped by grace, not greatness. What happens when we remember that our story begins with rescue too?

Can new chapters really be written?Is it possible to leave behind what’s always been and step into something new?-This Sunday, we’re continuing our summer series Long Story, Short—walking through the big story the Bible tells. And this part? It’s the beginning of something new.-We’re talking about faith.2

Every story has a beginning. But some of the earliest stories we tell about ourselves aren’t fairy tales—they’re cautionary tales. This Sunday at Emmaus, we’re looking at how envy, violence, and revenge became part of the human story… and how Jesus offers us a better one.-If you’ve ever struggled to forgive—or wondered if the world could be different—this is for you. Because the story you live in shapes the person you become.

This Sunday, we’re starting a new teaching series called Long Story, Short—an honest look at the big story the Bible tells, and why it still matters.

Not just for understanding Scripture.

But for understanding yourself.

Your purpose.

Your place in the world.

You’ve probably heard Psalm 23 at a funeral. But what if it’s not just about death—what if it’s meant to shape the way we live? This week, we’ll reclaim the psalm as a personal declaration:You are provided for, you are anchored in God’s care, your story is marked by mercy, and even in the valleys—you are not alone.

This Sunday we are wrapping our time in the stories about what happened after the resurrection by taking a look at the 2nd scene in the Emmaus story-at the table. It's a story about how we "see" Jesus on this side of Easter, the sort of community that can carry you through anything, and the power of an invitation.
