In this message, Nic introduces the Orthopraxy series by teaching from Matthew 7:24–27, where Jesus contrasts the wise and foolish builders. The focus is not only on right belief (orthodoxy) but on right practice (orthopraxy), showing that hearing Jesus’ words must lead to putting them into action. Outwardly, lives may look similar—prayer, fasting, generosity—but the true foundation is revealed in whether these flow from religious duty or from being deeply loved by God. Spiritual practices are not meant as checklists but as ways to shape our hearts and align our loves with Christ. The call is to live with intention, building on the foundation of Jesus through obedience born out of love, so that faith is not surface-level but transformative, leading us to become people who reflect God’s kingdom in every part of life.

In this message, Andrew draws from Exodus and the Gospel of John to emphasize God’s desire to dwell among His people and the call to prepare for His presence. He explains that just as Israel was instructed to build the tabernacle so God could dwell with them, followers of Jesus are called to become living tabernacles through prayer, repentance, and devotion. Using John the Baptist as an example, he highlights the need for credible, Spirit-filled witnesses who call people to return to God and prepare for renewal. The message stresses that while revival is ultimately a sovereign move of God, His people play a vital role by cultivating prayerful dependence, consecrated lives, and readiness to receive His Spirit. The challenge is to move from complacency and polite prayers to wholehearted devotion, trusting that God’s presence brings transformation to hearts, homes, communities, and society.

In this message, Andrew teaches from Psalm 19:7–11, showing that God’s design for sexuality is not restrictive but life-giving, leading to joy, freedom, and flourishing. Beginning with creation, sexuality is revealed as a good gift—woven into our identity as image bearers, meant to reflect God’s love, intimacy, and creative purpose. Yet the fall has devastated this design, leaving all people with brokenness and distorted desires that are easily hijacked by cultural lies, shame, and addiction, especially through the counterfeit lure of pornography. Instead of moralism or hiding, the gospel offers transformation: Jesus’ grace brings forgiveness and healing, and His Spirit empowers new desires aligned with God’s design. Through practices like confession, immersion in Scripture, and participation in grace-filled community, hearts can be retrained to delight in true intimacy rather than counterfeit substitutes. The message calls listeners to reject shame, embrace God’s vision for their bodies and sexuality, and pursue wholeness in Christ as part of His renewing work in the world.

In this message, Andrew teaches from John 4:1–42, where Jesus meets the Samaritan woman at the well and offers her living water that satisfies the deepest thirst of the soul. Instead of avoiding cultural and social barriers, Jesus moves toward her with love and dignity, prioritizing genuine connection over winning arguments or maintaining appearances. Her encounter shows that salvation comes through relational presence, where truth is embodied in love. This same pattern is the foundation for sharing the gospel today—not through debates or culture wars, but through listening, friendship, and Spirit-filled hospitality. Just as the woman’s testimony led her whole community to seek Jesus, believers are called to embody living water in their relationships, creating spaces like Alpha where people can experience God’s love personally and discover the hope found in Christ.

In this message, Andrew teaches from Exodus 40, showing how the completion of the tabernacle fulfills God’s promise to dwell among His people, echoing the creation account and foreshadowing the New Covenant. Israel’s obedience in constructing the tabernacle “just as the Lord commanded” creates sacred space for God’s glory to fill, marking a moment of restored relationship after covenant-breaking idolatry. This dwelling is not about a physical tent alone but anticipates the greater reality in Christ, where God’s presence moves from the tabernacle into His people through the Holy Spirit. The message contrasts the fleeting satisfaction of self-made “heavens on earth” with the lasting joy of hosting God’s presence, calling believers to trust His vision, obey His commands, and prepare themselves as living temples. Revival comes not through chasing personal fulfillment but by faithfully receiving the gift of salvation, participating in the New Covenant, and practicing rhythms of prayer, worship, and confession so that God’s Kingdom is embodied in daily life.

In this message, Katy teaches from Exodus 38–39, emphasizing how God’s longing to dwell with His people takes shape through the detailed, communal construction of the tabernacle. Rather than arbitrary instructions, every element—especially the bronze altar and basin—reflects God's mercy, justice, and desire for restored relationship. The altar symbolizes forgiveness through substitutionary atonement, while the basin represents cleansing from the lingering effects of sin. Together, they point forward to Jesus, who offers a permanent and personal reconciliation, not just dwelling among His people but within them by the Holy Spirit. The message invites listeners to re-frame obedience and generosity as relational responses to God’s faithfulness, embracing forgiveness with joy and living as sacred spaces for God’s presence—anticipating the day He dwells fully with His people in a new heaven and earth.

In this message, Nic teaches from Exodus 35–36, exploring how God’s presence, purpose, and beauty intersect with everyday work and community life. As Israel begins constructing the tabernacle, the emphasis shifts from detailed instructions to willing participation, showing that sacred work must be done in God’s way and rhythm—beginning with rest and Sabbath. The Spirit empowers not just priests, but artisans like Bezalel, illustrating that all vocations—whether creative, manual, or managerial—can reflect God’s beauty and serve His kingdom. Every skill, resource, and act of obedience becomes part of a larger invitation to build God’s dwelling together. The message calls listeners to reimagine their vocation as a Spirit-filled expression of worship, participate in the shared mission of the Church, and pursue God's presence as the guiding force behind everything they do.

In this message, Andrew teaches from Exodus 33–34, highlighting the “Character Creed” as God's self-revelation in the wake of Israel’s unfaithfulness. Despite the people’s idolatry and covenant betrayal, God remains committed to His desire to dwell with them, even as He wrestles with the tension between justice and mercy. Through Moses’ bold intercession—“If your Presence does not go with us, do not send us”—God renews His vows to His people and declares His name: compassionate, gracious, slow to anger, abounding in loyal love and faithfulness. These words are not abstract traits but actions lived out through history, and ultimately fulfilled in Jesus—the visible glory of God and the embodiment of this Creed. The message invites listeners to reject idols, receive the grace of Jesus, and cultivate lives marked by faithful trust, bold prayer, and a hunger for God's presence—not settling for blessings without intimacy, but becoming living temples where God’s glory dwells.

In this message, Jose Zayas teaches from Exodus 32, where the people of Israel turn from God to worship a golden calf, revealing how quickly hearts can drift from trust to idolatry. Though God had just invited them into covenant relationship, their impatience leads to a distorted version of worship shaped by fear and self-reliance. In response, God’s anger burns, but through Moses’ bold intercession, we see that mercy and judgment are held together in God’s character. This moment becomes a mirror for our own hearts—exposing where we’ve reshaped God into our own image or failed to trust Him fully. Yet even in failure, the message is one of grace: God remains willing to forgive, restore, and lead His people, calling them back into faithful partnership through repentance and renewal.

Jose serves as the Lead Pastor of 26 West Church in Portland, Oregon and speaks at festivals and conferences across the country.

In this message, Andrew teaches from Exodus 28–31, revealing that God’s detailed instructions for the tabernacle and priestly garments are not arbitrary demands but an expression of His desire to dwell with His people in beauty and holiness. The garments of the high priest symbolize the sacred role of hosting God’s presence and mediating between heaven and earth, pointing forward to Jesus—the true and perfect High Priest—who tears the veil, bears our sin, and clothes us in His righteousness. God's dwelling is no longer confined to a tent; through Christ, His people have become the new tabernacle. This message calls believers to embrace their identity as a royal priesthood, consecrated not by performance but by grace, and to live as hosts of God’s presence—interceding, worshiping, and embodying His glory in the world. Revival readiness begins with this priestly calling: to trust God's wisdom, practice His ways, and prepare our lives as sacred space for His presence to dwell.
