REALLIFE Spokane

Jesus' zeal for His Father's house challenges us to examine what truly consumes our hearts. Through John 2, we learn more about what it means to reflect Jesus faithfully, pursue purity, and live with a passion for God's purposes that is greater than our own comfort, ambitions, or agendas.

In John 2:1–11, Jesus turns water into wine at Cana, revealing His glory through an ordinary moment. God still works through the everyday moments of our lives, using our simple acts of obedience to help others experience His love and come to believe in Him.

When we truly see Jesus for who He is, everything changes. Through the first disciples' encounters with Jesus in John 1, Pastor Richie challenges us to seek Him wholeheartedly, respond to His calling, and help others experience His transforming love.

Through the example of John the Baptist, we discover what it means to put Jesus at the center of our lives, find our identity in Him, and follow the leading of the Holy Spirit. When we surrender our own plans and priorities, we make a way for Jesus to work through us and transform the lives of those around us.

John 1 reveals Jesus for who He truly is - not someone we merely need to understand, study, or form opinions about, but God revealed to us, full of grace and truth. We are invited to know Him personally and intimately, to see His glory, and to receive Him for who He really is.

Jesus teaches us that death brings life: when we lay down our own agendas, desires, and priorities, God can use our lives to bring life to others. We are called to multiply by investing in people and helping them become who God made them to be.

In Luke 10, the story of the Good Samaritan challenges us to move beyond obligation and performance and become people who give freely because of what Jesus has already given us. When compassion captures our hearts, it changes how we give our time, resources, and lives to others.

In this second message of our This Is Real Life series, we explore the power of connection and what it means to build relationships that truly change us. Biblical connection goes beyond simply being around people. It means being known, loved, challenged, encouraged, and willing to lay down our lives for one another as we grow to become more like Jesus.

In this first message of our This Is Real Life series, we see Jesus meet Peter in the middle of his ordinary, broken life and invite him to trust His voice and follow His purpose. Pursuing Jesus means making room for the One who is already in our boat, responding in obedience - even when it doesn’t make sense - and allowing His work in us to overflow to the people around us.

In 1 Corinthians 15, Paul reveals the reality of the resurrection and what it means for how we live today. Because Jesus defeated death, we can find comfort in loss, strength in hardship, and conviction to give ourselves fully to the work of the Lord.
