Living Church

Do you struggle with purpose or feeling significant? If so, then Jesus' death, resurrection, and his days following Easter are such good news for you. This morning we look at another encounter between Jesus and his disciples after Jesus had come back to life. From this encounter Jesus gives purpose to those who follow Him.

Good Friday. Easter. Through these two events Jesus opens the way to forgiveness of sins and new life with Him for those who repent and believe. But what does Jesus get out of it? Why go through the beatings, the blood, and the brutality of the cross? Why conquer death and claim victory through by coming back to life? What does Jesus get out of Good Friday & Easter? What does He want out of it?

We answers this question today as we unpack an encounter between Jesus and His disciples after Jesus had risen from the grave. The answer is found in four simple words, "Come and have breakfast."

In this Easter message we answer the question, "Why is the Resurrection of Jesus so important for you? Why is it such a Game Changer?"

Ruth's story reveals God is present in our Where's God moments of life. This morning as we dig into chapter three we'll discover how God's people respond in the Where's God moments.

Ruth's story reveals God is present in our Where's God moments of life. This morning as we dig into chapter two we see how God is not only present in our Where's God circumstances, but faithful to supply what His people need in those moments.

Today we begin a study in the book of Ruth.

Are you in need of hope? Have you ever experienced a "Where’s God?" moment? If you or someone you know is in need of hope, in the middle of a "Where's God?" situation, or far from God lost in the fog and darkness of sin, the life of Ruth reminds us God is faithful and present in the “Where’s God” moments of life.

How do we as Living Church, a family of house churches see the vision of Jesus become reality where we live, in our neighborhoods, our campuses, workplaces, our city? We MULTIPLY.

In this message Mark shares more of the WHY behind a next step in our journey as Living Church - the step of multiplying gatherings.

Today we begin a three week series on our mission and vision as Living Church. This morning we remember the specific mission and vision God has called us to as a family of house churches.

Next Sunday we’ll be sharing an exciting next step we see the Spirit nudging us to take as Living Church family. We'll

wrap up the series in two weeks hearing God stories and praying over two families as we send them out starting Living Church house churches in their communities!

So how do we see the vision of Jesus become reality reaching our communities, campuses, and city with His good news?

We MULTIPLY.

Jesus tells us, "It is more blessed to give than to receive". He says there’s a joy or happiness that comes from giving that’s even better than what you feel when you receive. If that’s true, would you want that?

Today we conclude our study in 2 Corinthians 8-9 by looking at a few more biblical principles behind the spiritual discipline of Generous Giving.

In this message Mark answers the question, "Who should I give to?" as he continues in 2 Corinthians 8-9 looking at biblical patterns for the Spiritual Discipline of Generous Giving.
