We live in a foodie world. From social media posts about what we're eating to meal prep plans to websites devoted to the restaurants we must eat at; our world is obsessed with food. Yet throughout Scripture, we see a practice that places our hunger somewhere else. Through the practice of fasting, we deny ourselves food to use our body as a tool in our prayer life. Listen as we start a new study around fasting and see how this practice from the life of Jesus has the power to transform the way you talk with God and hear His voice.

It’s not a question of if we’ve been hurt by someone we care about, but when the last time was. The reality is, the church is filled with people who've been hurt by others and at times, have hurt others. Listen as we wrap up our series, Family, by looking at how the new family of Jesus can learn to fight clean as we practice the way of Jesus together.

We have spent the last two weeks learning how important our spiritual family is to our formation into the image of Jesus. But is family supposed to play another role in our lives? As you might assume, the answer is a resounding YES! Not only does the family of Jesus help us become like Jesus but it also helps us do what Jesus did. In a world that models family less and less, the family of Jesus can proclaim the gospel in word and how they love one another. Listen as we discuss how our love for one another can be our greatest picture of the gospel we give to the watching and waiting world around us.

“We Are Family” dominated the music charts in the late 70’s. Sister Sledge had a certified hit on their hands. They sang this line repeatedly, “We are family. I got all my sisters with me. We are family. Get up, everybody, and sing!” But here’s the question… Is family still something worth getting up and singing about? In the eyes of Jesus and the church, the answer is YES! Jesus created a new family when He came and this family is essential for our apprenticeship to Him. It’s in this family that we experience the most significant growth. Listen as we discover how family is the space of deepest formation in each of our lives.

The book recommended in this sermon is The Connected Life by Todd Hall. You can find it here.

Community is everywhere yet rates of loneliness increase every year. Our world is more connected than ever, but that doesn't seem to be enough. Why is that so? Because connection isn't the same thing as community. Jesus understood this and invited His followers into something much deeper and more meaningful than community. He invited them into a family. Listen as we jump back into the practices that make up our Way of Life and discover how Jesus brought us together as a new family of God.

What do you think is needed to be the kind of person who experiences the full expression of joy God offers? As we wrap up our summer series, we look at the closing section of Paul’s letter to the church in Philippi. We see how Paul challenges the Philippians to bring forth God’s Kingdom into their city. As we do this, we simultaneously see how God is calling us to the same way of life.

We all face issues in our lives. Some are relational, some are circumstantial, and others are emotional. The question isn't if we'll face issues, but what will we do when those issues arise. Will they steal our joy away or will we lay them before Jesus? Listen to Pastor Aaron Hicks from Rise Church (www.therisechurch.com) as we look at Philippians 4:1-9 and discover what we need to lay down so that we can walk in joy even when issues come up in our lives.

Have you ever had something you thought was so valuable only to find out it was totally worthless? Have you ever had something that previously brought you great joy lose its luster? There are many things in this life that seem praiseworthy, that seem to bring us joy or seem to have great value. There is, however, only one source of true joy that is lasting and will never fade away. Listen as we dive into Philippians 3 and discover where our joy truly comes from.

Who is someone you have looked up to? Someone you were able to look at, watch their life, and want to be like them. Someone who showed you what it means to serve and sacrifice like Jesus. Learning to follow Jesus is often taught through the lives of others. Listen as we look at the end of Philippians 2, where Paul gives us two striking examples to follow.
