Hearing the Voice of God with Amy Baker

January 14, 2024

Does God really personally guide us? If so, how? Why do some seem to hear from Him continuously while others seem to not at all? This week we’ll be discussing the idea of God speaking to us, how we might hear from Him more clearly and what might get in the way of this life altering reality.

Lean In: Matthew 5:13-16 with Ryan Guerra

“A town built on a hill cannot be hidden”… or can it? The idea of bringing flavor and light to the world is an enticing notion, but one that many of us largely shy away from. It seems that blending in is much more comfortable and easy than standing out for Jesus, but that’s not what he invites us into. Join us this Sunday for a special breakfast gathering where we look at how we can better lean into Jesus’ invitation to live out his mission.

Christmas Eve: Lessons and Carols with Joshua Liem

*Due to Technical issue, recording is not complete.*

Trusting Jesus is easy… when we like what he’s saying! But what about the times where he says something that doesn’t land so well with us? Unfortunately, this is a lot of his teaching for most of us. This week we get to lean into Jesus’ invitation to “rejoice and be glad” in the midst of suffering and persecution.

Lean In: Matthew 5:7 with Mariah Smith

We who deserve nothing have received everything through the radical mercy and forgiveness given by Jesus Christ. Our culture today rejects forgiveness as something needed for human flourishing, yet Jesus says those who are merciful to others will be "blessed". Drawing from Matthew 18:21-35, we will dive into the parable of the unforgiving servant to bring light to the transformative power that forgiveness can have when our identity is rooted in the forgiveness of Christ.

Unpacking Matthew 5:9, 'Blessed are the Peacemakers,' join our guest speaker, Talasi Guerra, in a profound exploration of peacemaking as a heart posture rooted in prayer and rendered in love. Delve into the Hebrew concept of shalom—an overarching sense of wholeness and completion—and uncover practical steps for personal growth. Discover how embracing a peacemaking character connects us with the heart of the Father and the universal call to bring transformative peace into our lives and the world.

Lean In: Matthew 5:6 with Ryan Guerra

What is “righteousness” and how is it relevant to our lives? Jesus teaches that this is such a fundamental need in our lives that we should long for it as though we were incredibly hungry and thirsty for it. Join us as we lean into what it means to pursue Jesus’ righteousness through his words in Matthew 5:6.

Matthew 5:3-5

Ryan Guerra

“Gospel” is one of those churchy words that often gets said without a lot of certainty between what it actually means. As we embark on a journey through Jesus’ most famous sermon, we begin by facing his very clear description of the good news that he is bringing. 

“The Promised Land” with Joshua Liem

On October 7th, the worst massacre of Jewish people since the Holocaust was committed by Hamas. Since then, thousands of Palestinian have been murdered in retaliatory attacks. What started this cycle of violence, and where have Christians been complicit in it? This Sunday, we will lean into the discomfort and tension that comes from interrogating our theologies that work against equity, justice, and mutual flourishing.
