Special Announcement from Brad and Elders
Inside Hope | Romans 15:5-13
A life without hope is untenable. We were made for it and our hearts are driven towards it. The question is: Is Jesus the lasting hope? Can we trust it? How do we get that hope? In this sermon, Brad Watson walks through those questions. (Note: we had kids in our service and have edited this audio to remove some of our small “crowd noise”)
Witnessing Hope | John 1:29-37
How is Jesus Hope? | John 11:1-44
In this sermon, Brad Watson preaches through John 11:1-44 and the story of Lazarus’ death, the ensuing grief, and the miraculous raising of Lazarus to death. Through this sermon we process how Christian hope works in the midst of terrible events. Do we hope that all of this is a character building exercise? Do we hope that at least Jesus will counsel us through the storm? Or, do we we hope Jesus is who he said he is: resurrection and life?
2024 Prayer and Vision
Every year we have a family meeting to reflect back on the past year and look forward, sharing the spiritual direction for the year that the elders have prayed over, and the apostolic team has prepared. During our family meeting we spent a lot of time reflecting on 2023 and sharing our celebrations and regrets before moving into this portion of the evening focused on 2024. We’ll share more in the coming weeks, but hope you take time to listen if you missed. You can download the handout here.
How Do We Change | John 2:1-11
Whatever is Good | Philippians 4:8-9
In this sermon, Evie Hutton preaches through Philippians 4:8-9 as Paul calls the church to look around them and notice whatever is good, noble, lovely, pure, and excellent and to think on these things. Evie challenges us to see and acknowledge the good within our city while also holding onto the reality that not everything is good.
