God doesn’t cancel people, He has compassion on them. Pastor Stephen teaches from Luke 15 and the parable of the prodigal son - a parable of redemption and restoration. We can apply the story of the prodigal son to our own lives, realizing when we take one step towards God, He is running towards us! 

God has been doing some incredible things since our journey started at Home Church in 2024. Having a vision isn't just necessary for our church, but also for YOU! Pastor Stephen teaches on vision, talks about where we've been, where we're going, and what it will take for that to happen! 

The Lord’s supper, communion, the eucharist – whatever you call eating and drinking with God, this practice is at the very center of the church. And yet it’s changed over the years. What started out as a full meal, around a table, in a home, with a spirit of gratitude, joy and celebration, has since become a quiet, contemplative, individualistic meditation on our sin and its cost to Jesus. How did this practice evolve? Or devolve? And how could we re-imagine this practice as a meal? 

Pastor Stephen shares practical tips on how to have a healthy marriage and encourages us to look at the lives of Priscilla and Aquila as we evaluate what it means to have a marriage that is on mission. The strongest unity is formed by a mutual commitment to a common cause, and there are three specific things we see in Priscilla and Aquila’s life that demonstrate a marriage that is on mission together. 

Acts 18

Pastor Allen Barrera gives a practical message on how to have a healthy marriage. 

Healthy relationships begin with healthy individuals. As we continue our collection of talks on relationships, Pastor Stephen talks about the importance of YOU. Our greatest blessings come in the form of people, but if we don’t put work into our relationships, they won’t work. The best way to thrive in our relationships is to bring the best version of ourselves. 

What's the 'secret sauce' to a good friendship? What does Jesus have to say about friendship? 

John 15:15; 1 John 1:7; James 5:16 

What does the character of a good friend look like?

Nobody navigates life successfully without good friends. Even Jesus had friends during His earthly life. Some friends are better than others, though. So what makes for a good friend? The book of Proverbs offers a number of character traits to give us a portrait of the kind of friends we should look for, and the kind of friends we should be. Ultimately, we will find that the very best friends are those who are most like Jesus.

We begin a new collection of talks focused on Relationships! There are very few choices in life as important as who you decide to become friends with. Listen in as Pastor Stephen talks about healthy friends, unhealthy friends and expectations you should have when evaluating friendships. 

A Mirror reflects a man’s face but what he is really like is shown by the kind of friends he chooses. Proverbs 27:19 TLB

How do we live like Jesus? How do we actually do what he did? As the church, we are called to not only follow Jesus in spirit but we are called to continue his work on earth as it is in heaven. This means healing the sick, praying for the lost, opening up our homes and our lives to those far from God. The end goal is to do what he did. In this teaching, we explore the next steps in forming our lives around the practices of Jesus.
