How do you handle rejection? It’s hard sometimes. The tendency to lash out is strong for many of us depending on the situation. It was no less so for the disciples; yet Jesus wants us to understand that’s not what he came here to do.

How competitive are you? It seems we all have a little bit of a desire to be proven better than some others. Or we get a boost to our self-worth when we can show we’re right and they’re wrong. The disciples were no different, but as Grant shows us, Jesus challenges us to pursue a better way.

In this week's episode, Justin Sytsma and Grant Vissers lean into the weirdness of the transfiguration and our very human tendency to try to contain God as individuals or a church. Be sure to bring us your questions following Sunday's service - [email protected]

In many ways, in North American culture, September is the Monday of the year. The weekend (summer) is over and it’s time to get back to work. But that isn’t always easy; it can take a while to get back into the flow of “real life.” Grant shows us how the same holds true for us spiritually as well.

Sometimes we can get so excited by what’s happening we just need to be a part of it. And so we act first and think later…maybe. This week Grant shows us that Peter was a lot like us in this way and points out just what it took for him to stand down and pay attention.

In this week's episode, Justin Sytsma sits down with Allison Pinches to go a little more in depth into Luke 9:18-27, a pivotal moment where Jesus reveals himself to his disciples and asks this crucial question "who do you say I am?" and what it looks like to "take up our cross daily".Be sure to bring us your questions following Sunday's service - [email protected]!

There is a great deal of emphasis on identity in our culture these days. We ask ourselves, “Who am I?” or “Who do people think I am?” A great deal of effort goes into crafting these identities on social media and elsewhere. This week Allison continues our examination of Luke as Jesus himself deals with the issue of his identity.

Join us this week as Lindsay Sytsma and Justin Sytsma explore the 5 works that Lindsay highlighted in her sermon from Sunday - Welcome, give, everyone, satisfied, and broken.

Our series on Luke continues this week with Lindsay Sytsma guiding us through the account of what might be Jesus’ most iconic miracle – the feeding of the 5000. As she does she helps us to identify five words that will enable us to relate this expression of God’s abundance to our own lives.
