All of us are searching for something... for our purpose, for the next step, for direction, for connection. But what if everything we are searching for has already been FOUND. Listen in to this message we start our new series, Lost + FOUND. #arise #comehome

We can all acknowledge that the Church has made some mistakes, but are we as Christians called to apologize on behalf of the Church? Pastors Matt and Sawyer seek to answer this important question as well as the implications that it has on theology, relationships and evangelism. We hope that it encourages you to engage in the lives of others and help bring God more into your 10,000 this week and beyond.

For many of us, it is a challenge to see follow Jesus and his ways as true freedom, despite what the Bible says. In this episode, Pastors Matt and Sawyer explain something that often gets in the way: the differences between biblical commands, personal convictions, and individual choices. They explain each area and how to determine which is which to show that we really do have much more freedom than we think in following Jesus. We hope this episode allows you to bring God more into your 10,000 and find the true freedom found in Jesus.

Following up from this past Sunday's message, Pastors Matt and Sawyer dive into the important implications of God's grace. If it is God's grace from the beginning to the end, how does that grace affect us? Does grace give us license to do whatever we want? What does grace enable us to do? How does grace work with good works?

Listen in as they present and argue for both sides of the argument, but ultimately settle on some important questions that we all need to ask ourselves as we seek to bring God more into our 10,000 minutes each and every week.

Obedience vs. Legalism? Leading others to God vs. bringing God to others? Calling people out for their sin vs. letting God convict people? In this episode of The 10,000 Podcast, Pastor Sawyer dives into these challenging questions as he walks through Luke 13:10-17. In this section, Jesus reminds us all that is not about following the law to the last letter but living redemptively as God brings about His Kingdom.
