  • Our Father: “Called To Surrender” - Ken Coneby

    Ken confesses that he is finding it hard to find hope in the world around us. But he is reminded of how the solution is always surrendering ourselves more fully to a God who created and cares for us.

    We are a people obsessed with control, but God leads us to a greater truth.

  • Pressing on: "Guide" - Jordan Czichos

    1 Peter 5:1-4

    One of Jesus’ defining characteristics was his humility. It was more than just a passing trait - For Jesus, “being humble was literally a death-and-life situation.”

    The closer Jordan looks at Jesus’ humility, the more she unearths our need to match that humility in our own lives.

  • Pressing on: "Suffering" Mandy Jones

    1 Peter 4:12-17

    We have a habit of glazing over our own suffering when talking to others, or dismissing it because “others have it worse.”

    But your suffering matters. It is valid. And God cares about all of the things that hurt us and keep us up at night.

    However, suffering can refine us. If we let it, it can bring us closer to God.

  • Pressing On "Love" Timb Vasquez

    YouTube Notes:

    1 Peter 3:8-12

    As Timb takes his last chance to preach, he has a lot of hot takes, including why he hates the Bible, why you shouldn’t try to be a better person, and why he might be the Christian Batman.

    But his focus, ultimately, is on how we treat others. “My hottest take is gonna be this: God cares more about how we treat people than what we know. No one’s getting to heaven on perfect theology.”

  • Pressing On: "Where Do I Find My Significance?" - Ken Coneby

    This week The Source pastor Ken Coneby dives into chapter 2 of 1st Peter.

    The Chosen Stone and His Chosen People

    4 Coming to Him as to a living stone, rejected indeed by men, but chosen by God and precious, 5 you also, as living stones, are being built up a spiritual house, a holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. 6 Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture,

    “Behold, I lay in Zion

    A chief cornerstone, elect, precious,
    And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame.”

    7 Therefore, to you who believe, He is precious; but to those who [a]are disobedient,

    “The stone which the builders rejected

    Has become the chief cornerstone,”

  • Our First Five: "Justice" - Ken Coneby

    Micah 6:7-8

    Micah understands that justice and mercy are wholly the possesion of God. Being the people of God means letting Him lead you in all that you do.

    We are called to be a refuge. That is the Church's job. We are called to be something different.

    "No group in the world, no faction, no country, can escape the brokenness of humanity."

  • Our First Five: "Generosity" - Jordan Czichos

    Jordan tells the story of a woman she knew who found ways to give back even when it seemed like the world had given her nothing.

    There is unnecessary suffering in this world. It is our job to do something about it.

    God has gotten us this far with his generosity - we need to find the generosity to give back.
