One20 Church

You can watch God work your whole life and still not really see him. Moses had seen the plagues, the sea split, and bread fall from the sky, and he still asked for more. What God showed him changed how he saw everything else, and it can do the same for you.

This week, you’ll learn how to stop watching God from a distance and start knowing him up close.

Exodus 33:12-23; 34:5-7

The gospel doesn’t end with you.

In the finale of One At A Time, we go to Acts 2, where a room of 120 people became a church that changed a city.

Every week of this series comes back out of six verses:

Called: verse 39

Make one: verse 42

Love one: verse 46

Serve one: verse 45

Be one: verse 44

For one: verse 47

We are Called to Make One. Love One. Serve One. Be One. For One. ALL FOR ONE

God moves first. God adds. You’re responsible for the going, never the growing.

If we chase growth, we build our thing. If we go after one, people come to Jesus, and He builds His church (Matthew 16:18).

The gospel came to you because it was headed to somebody else.

Acts 2:39, 42–47 & Philippians 1:27

Every One Leads To The Next One Because No One Walks Alone When We ALL Go For One.

One20 is a gathering where every one is for one, every day, where we learn, work, and play.

Nobody in this room found their own way in. Somebody came after you.

In Luke 15, Jesus gets accused of eating with the wrong people — and his answer is three stories

about going after one. A shepherd leaves the pasture. A father watches the road and runs. And then that same father walks out of his own party to go get the son who never left.

This is the final week of One At A Time. We’ll discuss what it costs to stop only being available and

actually going after one person you have influence with.

On the last night of His life, Jesus prayed for people who did not exist yet. If you believe in Him today, you were in that prayer before you ever believed a word of it.

In week 4 of One At A Time, we are diving into John 17:20-23 — the longest recorded prayer of Jesus, and the one thing He asked His Father for at the end of His life: that we would be one.

Being one is not being the same. It is not everybody agreeing. And it is not something we build — Paul says keep the unity of the Spirit, not make it.

This message is about what that costs. Humble, gentle, patient, bearing with one another. Apologizing first. Losing an argument on purpose. Leading the way in honor instead of waiting to be honored. And it is about the part you already have in the body of Christ, because the church does not hinge on the pastor. It hinges on the body.

Jesus said, I will build my church. He started it. He is building it. We get to be in it.

On the last night of his life, Jesus got up from the table, wrapped a towel around his waist, and did the lowest job in the house. Judas was still in the room. His feet got washed too. John tells us exactly what Jesus knew before he knelt: where he came from, where he was going, and what was already in his hands. Security came first. Service came second.

This week we look at why most of us serve like we're still trying to earn our spot, why Peter almost missed everything by refusing to be served, and what it looks like to spend your hands, your time, and your Saturday on one person you can name. You can't give what you won't receive. Washed first. So, get up.

Most of us learned to love people the way we'd want to be loved. On the last night of his life, Jesus resets the standard — and he does it in a room where one friend had just left to betray him and another was hours from denying him.

In week 2 of One At A Time, we're in John 13:34-35 and Matthew 22:37-40, and we're getting practical about one person you can love intentionally.

Jesus had five sentences left. He spent them on one command — and most of us have never noticed which word it was. Twenty-eight chapters of sermons, miracles, a cross, and an empty tomb and then Matthew is done. Whatever is in those last five sentences is what Jesus wanted us to carry. In the original language there's only one command in the whole Great Commission. It isn't go. It isn't baptize. It isn't teach.

Week 1 of One At A Time goes back twenty-four chapters to a beach, where the Son of God — with three years to change the world — walks up to four guys at work and calls them by name. First words to them: I will make you. Last words to them: now you go make.

He made them before he ever told them to make anybody.

This message covers both legs of the Great Commission: casting, which is evangelism, and mending, which is discipleship and what each one actually looks like on a Tuesday.

You were saved. That's the half most of us hear..

Paul writes one sentence to a young pastor who's about ready to quit, and there are two verbs in it — not a starter package and an upgrade, but one act of God said two ways. 

Most of us build our Christian life around the first one and treat the second like it’s for paid professionals.

This message looks at two men who got called in completely opposite ways. One never got asked. The other overheard a question that wasn't even addressed to him but answered it anyway.

Both types of people will be in the room Sunday AND so is what God already put in you.

The Strangest Dinner in The Bible.

Your mom told you to tuck your shirt in so you'd look nice. God told them to tuck their shirt in for a completely different reason — and it had nothing to do with looking presentable. In Exodus 12, God rescues an entire nation in one night. But the instructions He gives aren't for a nation. They're for a house. One lamb. One family. One table. He didn't save them stadium-style. He saved them table by table. Then He gave them the strangest dinner instruction in the Bible.

This message was preached at our first Fifth Sunday Family Gathering — round tables, whole households sitting together, praying and taking communion at their own table, with the kids asking the questions God told them to ask. Stay to the end. There's a question in this one your family will be answering for the next three months.

Jesus stood up in His hometown, unrolled a scroll, and read His assignment out loud — before a single person in the room agreed with it. Minutes later they tried to throw Him off a cliff. 

The next verse? He's teaching in the next town over.

Their rejection cost Him an address. It did not cost Him the anointing.

In the finale of Spiritual Lies, we close seven weeks with the question the whole series has been building toward: what do you do with the freedom you already have? 

Because some of us got free months ago and we're still sitting in the ashes not because we're still bound, but because we forgot we could get up.

God doesn't explain your ashes. He trades them.

You were not set free to stay still.
