The church is God's plan for reaching the world. To that end, we are committed to the pursuit of planting churches in a variety of ways. Hear how Outward is seeking to be faithful in this through some exciting new opportunities.

Through the parable of a shrewd manager, Jesus helps us see the wisdom of investing in things that are truly important.

In the parable of the prodigal son, we see a picture of a loving father lovingly entreating his selfish and self-righteous son to turn from his ways and embrace his father's riches. God our father looks at us and lovingly invites us to do the same.

From the story of the Prodigal Son, Jesus teaches that it's often our righteous acts - even more than our sin - that prevents us from coming to God and receiving His grace.

Jesus says that He receives those - and only those - who are sinful and lost. Not only does He accept us in our sinful condition, but it brings Him great joy to welcome and pardon us.

Jesus describes that discipleship involves a cost. Following Jesus can not be on our terms, but on His - and His terms involve complete, total surrender.

Jesus invites you to dine in His presence with Him. His invitation is based not on what He wants from you, but what He wants for you.

You and I crave recognition that comes from pride. But Jesus meets us with mercy.

Have you considered what it means to truly follow Jesus? The way is narrow, but the reward is great.

Before we even know to ask for healing, Jesus sees us and knows what we need.
