What is the voice of God like? Is it a loud shout, a boisterous call, or something more…still? In the final installment of our Slow Your Soul sermon series, Reflect, Pastor Jess explains how the voice of God is like the wind, but is often drowned out by our constant busyness, notifications, alerts, and obligations. Only when we enter into silence do we begin to hear His voice, to capture it in our minds and delight in the very sound. Pastor Jess explains how Sabbath is where we learn how to linger, where we still ourselves enough to know His voice and to sharpen our listening skills. Sabbath is where we hear Him and we begin to hear what He has to say about others. 

“I have to get this done in time.” “I’ve got to catch up on…” “I need to get better at…” Sound familiar? You’re not alone if you find these statements ruling your days, turning even leisure into work. What would it look like to have time that doesn’t require filling? In the second sermon of our Slow Your Soul series, Refresh, Pastor Jess dives into the concept of the Sabbath Sacred Time Zone—where the week-end is the end of the work week and the beginning of time that is free from obligation and full of enjoyment. 

What time is it? When do we need to be there? What’s after this? … Ever feel like you’re in the time zone of crazy, busy, and rushed? Hear the invitation to enter an entire new zone—God’s Sabbath Standard Time Zone—where living depleted is replaced with restful purpose. In the first sermon of our new series, Slow Your Soul, Pastor Jess explains how Western life has become dominated by an obsession with building, mastering, and conquering to such a degree that it turns life dim. Enter Sabbath, God’s gift of holy rest. 

Chosen…what if it’s not just about me? What if, in the incredible scope of God’s plan, it’s about God putting His glory and mercy on display through us? When we think about the concept of election, our minds often go to individual selection, but in his sermon, The Universal King, Pr Dave Fields encourages us to think about how we, together, were created to be representatives of God’s story. Spoiler alert—there has always been a remnant and we’re a part of it!

God created us to hunger; it’s in our very design. Yet, we crave and consume the things that curse and destroy. Why? This sermon, The Immortal King, is where Pastor Jess explains how sin created an entire sphere of hunger without the dominion of God—a reality that separated us from our original design to take, bless, break, and give back to the world. Don’t worry, this is just where the story gets started. Pr Jess goes on to share how Jesus gets His physical hands on us and we are sanctified, devoted to our original hunger—God.
