It’s easy to blame misinformation on the Internet, media, or culture wars. But what if there’s an underlying internal belief that’s affecting how we receiving the information in the first place?
Disagreement is unavoidable, but division is a choice. We can disagree politically and love unconditionally.
When it comes to potentially polarizing topics, our posture, tone, and approach will tell others all they need to know about what’s most important to us.
Why do we have a ladder in our logo? Why do we structure Access the way we do? Find out all those answers and more today with Rich Barrett.
The belief that “Good people go to heaven” sounds nice on the surface. But it doesn’t make sense.
People ultimately weren’t convinced to follow Jesus because of what he taught. They became convinced because of what they saw. The resurrection of Jesus is not a Bible story—it is the story. It’s the reason we have a Bible. Not only did Jesus’s resurrection make sense of his crucifixion, it made sense of God’s love for the whole world. Jesus’s secret ambition was to die so we could live. His resurrection means that he is who he claimed to be—a Savior, peace with God, a reason to believe and follow, and a reason to believe he is a King worth following.
Christians are not expected to believe based solely on a collection of ancient manuscripts. The foundation of our faith is anchored to something far more substantial and sustainable.
Waiting is the worst. That’s why we have microwaves, fast food, DoorDash, and on-demand. “Give me what I want and give it to me now.” But what if waiting works wonders? What if waiting is exactly what we need? If we keep pushing for right now on demand, we may miss the very things that waiting produces in our lives. If we’re not careful, we’ll miss out on so much living in a culture that is “losing wait.”

As you look back on the past year, did you make progress, slip backward, or hold your ground? If you made progress, was it aligned with your vision for your life? That sparks a bigger question: What is your vision for your life? How should a Jesus-follower arrive at a vision for their life, and how do we stay on track?

Christianity isn’t just something we believe, it’s someone we follow. Find out how following Jesus could make a major difference in your life.
The more mature person typically makes the first move toward reconciliation. And that first move is rarely convenient.
Repairing a relationship requires someone to initiate, regardless of who’s to blame for the fallout. There’s a simple prayer you can learn to help you take that first step.
When it comes to repairing relationships, no one responds well to being convinced, coerced, convicted or controlled. Yet we try those approaches over and over again.

The first breach of integrity makes the second breach easier. Before you know it, it becomes a pattern. But there’s a way to prevent it from starting.
Our appetites pose a constant threat to our integrity. And if we don’t control them, they will shape the direction and quality of our lives.
Sometimes we’re willing to be bad to keep from looking bad. But when we’re more concerned about our reputations than our integrity, we eventually damage both.
There are times we know we ought to do something, even when there is no written rule. That’s because there is an “ought to” that stands outside of you and over you that didn’t originate with you.
We all know desperate times call for desperate measures. Even if you turn to Jesus as a last resort, it’s not too late for him to give you a life of freedom.
If you repay evil for evil, you will write a pretty predictable story. But there’s a way to write a remarkable one instead.
Hurting someone because they hurt you doesn’t end the cycle. It perpetuates it. And it makes you look like the person you dislike.
Red or Blue. Left or Right. For or Against. It sometimes feels like the United States isn’t very united. There’s something we can do about that, and it has less to do with our rights and more to do with our responsibility.
While we can’t avoid tough times, there’s something we all need in order to navigate them. It just takes time and intentionality to get it.
Just because God is good doesn’t mean good things will always happen. But we can trust that God is working even when we can’t see what he’s doing.
Our faith will be defined most in the seasons where life is the worst. And our faith is best when it’s fastened to actual promises, not future outcomes.
The road of life can be complicated, but follow these five simple rules and you’ll arrive at your desired destination—on purpose.
Wrinkle-free days usually don’t create great faith, because we don’t know what we actually believe until what we claim to believe is tested.
Those unexpected things life throws our way can end up being pivotal circumstances in our faith journeys.
There is no progress without discipline. And many times, what begins as an “ought to” becomes a “want to.”
Sometimes it seems God drops someone into our lives at just the right time.
The defining moments and seasons of our lives usually revolve around those providential relationships.
Nothing causes us to depend on God more than pushing through our inadequacies to help other people.
When we serve in a ministry we take personally, we experience God’s power and faithfulness.
It’s one thing to believe and enjoy practical teaching.
But gaining knowledge is not enough to grow our faith—applying it is.
We’ve all heard stories of people—or we know people—who have what appears to be unshakable faith.
They have a confidence in God that informs what they do.
Where does faith like that come from?
People ultimately weren’t convinced to follow Jesus because of what he taught. They became convinced because of what they saw.
We want to be open-minded, but we naturally resist things we can’t control or don’t understand. So how can we learn to be open to changing our ideals and beliefs, especially if we may be wrong about something? It begins with a simple prayer.
Jesus told his followers to pray to avoid temptation. But before we can pray that with a clear conscience, there are some things we need to ask ourselves first.
At one time or another, we’ve all been told we should pray. But how should we pray? Jesus’s disciples had the exact same question.

What’s the point of the local church? Making better citizens? Feeding and clothing the poor? Performing miracles? Inspiring people to be better? Instilling fear or guilt or shame? So many people have so many ideas, and we find ourselves with many kinds of churches. As followers of Jesus, it seems we should be confident about the central purpose of the church. If it has been lost over the past 2,000 years, can we reclaim it? Join us as Rich Barrett clarifies the mission and vision of Access Church.
There’s a question you can ask yourself that will bring inescapable clarity to just about every relational decision you’ll bump up against.
But a word of warning: it’s not for the faint of heart.
It’s human nature to snuggle up to the edge of irresponsibility or disaster and stay there as long as possible.
But instead of wondering how close we can get before crossing the line,
we need to ask ourselves perhaps the most important question we can ever ask.
Sometimes an option we’re considering creates tension inside of us.
When that happens, it can be tempting to ignore the discomfort or brush by it.
But instead of doing that, we need to pay close attention to it.
Your life is more than random, disconnected events.
It’s a story being written.
Whether it’s a thoughtful response or an emotionally fueled reaction,
we write the stories of our lives one decision at a time.
The easiest person to deceive is the person in the mirror.
But when we do the hard work of being honest with ourselves,
we’re on our way to not selling ourselves on a potential regret.
We never know what or who hangs in the balance of the decisions we make.
But we do know that our decisions determine the direction and quality of our life.
A few years ago, a group of us realized that most people in our community don’t really know that God is FOR them. We’re kicking off the New Year with a renewed commitment to make sure our neighbors know that God is FOR them, and not against them. God is for you, and he’s for the people that you love. Listen in as Rich leads us to envision a community that really believes that God is for them, because they can see how we are for them.
We all wonder. When we fix our eyes somewhere other than on God, wonder leads to wander. If you’ve wandered from the faith or are looking for the door, it’s not because of Jesus. You may think Christianity requires mind-numbing, experience-denying faith, but what if that’s not true? December 18, 2022
We wonder because our frame of reference doesn’t provide us with all of the answers. Every version of religion works for children. But then life happens. We experience challenging circumstances that sow doubt in our childhood faith. Tragedy causes us to question if God is good and loving. Sin leads to guilt and shame. We wonder if God can really love us. Is there such a thing as a frame of reference that can accommodate a grown-up faith? December 11, 2022
We wonder because our frame of reference doesn’t provide us with all of the answers. As our frame of reference changes or expands, some mysteries are solved. Some remain mysterious. So what do you do with the big mysteries in life—the mysteries that won’t resolve no matter how much we explore them? What do you do with your unanswered questions? December 4, 2022
Rich Barrett gives us a preview of the Christmas season as we anticipate the celebration of Jesus’ arrival on earth. November 27, 2022
Survey after survey show that “fights about money” is one of leading reasons that couples end up in divorce court. But, what if money conversations could actually improve your relationship? What if there is a path to unity and even intimacy by relating well with our finances? November 20, 2022

To be good at something, there is usually some training required. Most of us spend the majority of the first 25 years of our lives training to be functional people in society. Parents spend time and money on their kids’ training and practices. Many of us belong to a fitness club where we train. We … Continue reading "Voices – Top Gun"
Why am I here? It’s one of the biggest questions we ask of our lives, and our answer has the potential to change everything. In this talk, discover the secret for figuring out what God wants you to do with your life. In the process, Jamey Dickens will help you find a principle that will … Continue reading "Voices – Why Am I Here?"
Being in the middle of something can be difficult, but getting something out of the middle is more important than getting out of the middle. October 16, 2022
If your main goal is your kid’s obedience, you’re settling for something less than and you’re setting yourself up to have anger stirred up regularly. Instead of obedience being the objective, there’s a long-term target that will go a long way toward winning as a parent. September 25, 2022
When our kids mess up, our tendency is to take something away from them. However, punishment shouldn’t be the end goal of discipline. Restoration should be. September 18, 2022
Moms and dads dream of a future where their kids become adults and still want to come home regularly to visit. As parents, there’s something we can do to lay the foundation for that dream to become a reality. September 11, 2022
Ideal can seem out of reach, and it sometimes feels easier to put it out of sight. Part of being a parent is to point our children toward the ideal, while at the same time navigating what is real. September 4, 2022
Our culture is emerging from a season of uncertainty, fear, and division. Many of us are exhausted. And as we look ahead, things don’t appear any more certain. From foreign wars to roller-coaster economics, we have much cause for concern. What would it be like to face the storms of life with confidence instead of anxiety? … Continue reading "Through The Storm, part 3 – Whose Battle?"

During times of uncertainty and disruption, the people around us need to know we care. We often need to step out of our comfort zone to comfort someone. July 31, 2022
The people who have the most influence in our lives often have little to no authority in terms of position. There’s something about their lives that gives them influence in ours. July 24, 2022
Leadership, however great or small, is stewardship of the temporary influence we have. When we view our leadership as something for which we are accountable, we will be far less likely to leverage it for ourselves. July 17, 2022
It’s so easy to be a fan of Jesus. After all, he has a lot to give us. But if being a fan of Jesus keeps us from following Jesus, we miss out on the real purpose of his presence. Salvation is free; it costs you nothing. Following Jesus will cost you something. But refusing … Continue reading "You Do You? part 3 – To Whom Will You Go?"
Self-discovery is a worthwhile pursuit. After all, we are made unique. Discovering the depths of our uniqueness is a good thing, but if self-discovery leads to self-focus, our self-fulfillment greatly suffers. It’s a good thing the Apostle Paul gives us an alternative. July 3, 2022
One mantra of our culture is “be true to you.” You do you. What seems like the most authentic thing to do, however, can come at a steep cost. In a story told by Luke, Jesus confronts a close friend—and he doesn’t suggest she listen to her heart. June 26, 2022
It’s easy to think we have someone figured out based on a few quick data points. But for us to see others the way God sees them, we have to trade in the narratives we create about people and instead get to know them. June 19, 2022
We hold grudges for days, months, or sometimes years. And the longer we hold a grudge, the more it has a hold on us. June 12, 2022
We’re using more words than ever before, and we’re thinking less about them than ever before. That’s cause for concern because our words can either build someone up or tear them down. June 5, 2022
Memorial Day to Labor Day is 99 days. Each one matters. How will you focus your time, your energy, and your relationships in such a way that you can look back on the Summer of ‘22 as the best summer of your life? May 29, 2022
Why are there so many different kinds of churches today? On what subjects do they agree and disagree? What difference does the church make in my community? Why should I engage with my local church? Join us this week as Rich Barrett concludes our series with a very personal message for you and For St. … Continue reading "Reason and Faith, part 5 – The Church Today"
If Jesus really is the Son of God, why did he come to live among us? What was the purpose of his life and death? Did he really rise from the dead, or is that just hyperbole? And how can the death of one man pay the debt of everyone’s rebellion? Join us this week … Continue reading "Reason and Faith, part 4 – Dead Man Walking"
Why does the church make such a big deal about Jesus? Wasn’t he just another good teacher who offers helpful advice for healthy living? Join us this week as Justin Smith explores the claims Jesus made about himself, and how those claims force us to decide about Jesus… and good teacher isn’t one of the … Continue reading "Reason and Faith, part 3 – What Makes Jesus So Special?"
Is belief in God even necessary in the modern age? Now that science has answered so many of our biggest questions? Do we even need God? Maybe it’s time to face a new reality, and leave God in the past. Join us this week as Rich Barrett explores evidence for the existence of God, and … Continue reading "Reason and Faith, part 2 – Is God Still A Thing?"
What do we mean when we say that the Bible is the Word of God? Where did it come from? Why are there so many versions? Is the Bible just a collection of inspirational quotes from prophets and teachers, or is it the final authority for how we should live our lives? Join us this … Continue reading "Reason and Faith, part 1 – Holy Book, Reliable Manuscripts, or Both?"
When Jesus died, hope died along with him. No one was planning to keep this new movement going, because, after all, it seemed Jesus wasn’t who he claimed to be. Immediately following the crucifixion, there were no Christians, because there was no Christ. But then something happened. April 17, 2022
We all have embarrassing moments we can laugh about—later. There are shameful moments that we would give anything to undo. But while our pasts remind us, they don’t have to define us. April 10, 2022
Many times, our faith deteriorates as our circumstances deteriorate. When that happens, our faith is quickly overcome by fear, and the future looks dark. The apostle Peter experienced this, and he temporarily fled his faith in Jesus. April 3, 2022
Fear invites us to follow the path of self-preservation. However, if we follow that path long enough, we will neither preserve nor have anything to show for our lives. The original disciples of Jesus had the same tendencies at times. On one occasion, Jesus reminded them of what it means to follow him by saying … Continue reading "You’re Not Far, Part 5 – Kingdom Great"
From an early age, we learn quickly to look for loopholes in the rules. We try to figure out what we can get away with and still be okay. We tend to take this same mindset into our relationship with God, but it doesn’t work. When we opt for loopholes and workarounds, we find ourselves … Continue reading "You’re Not Far, Part 4 – Loophole Religion"
Whether it’s school, sports, or religion, when we focus only on the rules, it can be difficult to remember the overall purpose of something. Jesus reminds us that when we focus so much on the letter of the law, we may forget why the law was written in the first place. March 13, 2022
Jesus ignored certain religious protocols. He claimed to have authority to forgive sin. He was uncomfortably comfortable with unrepentant sinners. In this message, we hear about three encounters that showed Jesus came to reverse the order of things. March 6, 2022
We often read the Bible for application, inspiration, or direction. However, there are times when the author wants to simply point the reader to a big idea—an idea that fits with God’s grand story. In the Gospel of Mark, we read about Peter’s experience with Jesus that led Peter to believe in one big idea: … Continue reading "You’re Not Far, Part 1 – Write This Down"
If you have ever volunteered to do something for which you felt totally unqualified, then you already know what an experience like that can do for your faith. One of the primary ways God grows our faith is through personal ministry. In this lesson, we will explore the relationship between our faith and our service … Continue reading "Five Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith – Part 4: Personal Ministry"
In this session of Five Things God Uses To Grow Your Faith, you will be introduced to the role private spiritual disciplines play in the development of our faith. Drawing from Jesus’ teaching in the Sermon on the Mount, Rich explains how God leverages systematic prayer and generosity to grow our confidence in him. February … Continue reading "Five Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith – Part 3: Private Disciplines"
Life is full of surprises—some good, some not so good. But each unexpected event that comes our way is actually a divine opportunity. In this message, Rich explains the role that pivotal circumstances play in the development of our confidence in God. February 6, 2022
If you are like most people, you can’t tell your life story without referencing people who played significant roles along the way. The same is true of your faith story. As we begin Five Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith, Rich explains the role that providential relationships play in the development of our faith. … Continue reading "Five Things God Uses to Grow Your Faith – Part 1: Providential Relationships"
There are a lot of things you need to do this year. There are lots of things you can and will do. But what’s one thing you must do? Maybe just as importantly—what might keep you from doing it? Find out in Hindsight for 2022 from Andy Stanley. January 23, 2022
As we kick off the adventure that will be 2022, are you willing to let Jesus take the wheel? Surrendering your life to Him is so much more than asking Him to fix a problem or two. It’s a complete takeover, and sometimes He might ask you to do something small, something silly, or something … Continue reading "The Road Ahead, part 2 – One for the Road"
As we kick off the adventure that will be 2022, are you willing to let Jesus take the wheel? Surrendering your life to Him is so much more than asking Him to fix a problem or two. It’s a complete takeover, and sometimes He might ask you to do something small, something silly, or something … Continue reading "The Road Ahead, part 1 – Jesus Take The Wheel"
Every generation of Jesus followers is responsible to ensure the news of the Christian faith stays true to the original. So are you good news? What if you’re the only news someone gets? December 19, 2021
The original message of Jesus was so compelling that everyone who heard it wanted it to be true. Maybe the version you’ve heard isn’t as captivating. If Jesus truly offered an invitation that left no one out, would you consider it really good news? December 12, 2021
People close to Jesus were convinced they had met good personified. So they documented the story. They were convinced it wasn’t just for a nation or for a generation, but for all nations and every generation. This was good news, great joy, for all people—perhaps especially for those of us who aren’t all that good. … Continue reading "Christmas–It’s All Good, part 1: Better Than True"
We are so grateful for the opportunities God has given our church to impact our community for good! You’ve responded generously, and Rich will spend a few minutes this Sunday giving thanks. Join us for a brief service with great music, a grateful perspective looking back, and great hope looking forward. November 28, 2021
The church often mistakes Christian obedience as the first step in the Christian life. As a result, for many people the Christian faith becomes a rule-based religion. Instead, the Scriptures reveal that Jesus’ initial invitation is to follow him. He invites us to follow him until we begin believing that He is indeed who he … Continue reading "Simple, part 3: Obey"
Jesus’ initial invitation to his disciples was a simple one: Follow me. He invited them to watch and listen to his interactions with his heavenly Father and with others. In time, however, those who followed Jesus began to discover God’s character through Jesus Christ. And in that discovery they found themselves drawn to take a … Continue reading "Simple, part 2: Believe"
There is a common misconception that the church is a gathering place for saintly, perfect people. Moreover, some think that being a Christian means observing a set of rules or commandments. The reality is that the Christian life is about a relationship with Jesus Christ. And at the heart of that relationship is an invitation … Continue reading "Simple, part 1: Follow"
It can be easy to see someone else self-destruct and think to ourselves, I would never do that. But truth be told, we’re all capable of ending up where we don’t want to be. Even Solomon’s son—the heir to the throne of Israel—blatantly ignored a principle that we should all pay close attention to. October … Continue reading "How Not To Be Your Own Worst Enemy, part 3: Listen"
We can talk ourselves into anything. Our internal narratives justify our beliefs as well as our actions. But when those narratives are not true, they lead to destructive thoughts and behaviors. We can choose to carry around false but comfortable narratives—or we can look to destroy them. October 24, 2021
We all face dilemmas in which circumstances point us in one direction, but our consciences point us in a different direction. At times, we ignore the tug of our consciences and sell ourselves on a questionable decision. King David found himself in such a position, and his example can help us navigate our own dilemmas. … Continue reading "How Not To Be Your Own Worst Enemy, part 1: Pay Attention!"
We all have a picture of who we think God is. These pictures and beliefs have been shaped by things we have learned and experienced along the way. But what if you have been given an inaccurate picture of who God really is? October 10, 2021
“God, what do you want me to do next? God, am I following your plan?” These can be frequent prayers for people who want to know God’s will and fulfill it. But what happens when life throws a wrench in our plans? What happens when we throw a wrench of our own into what we … Continue reading "Three Questions Everyone Has About God, part 2: What’s His plan?"
We all have a picture of who we think God is. These pictures and beliefs have been shaped by things we have learned and experienced along the way. But what if you have been given an inaccurate picture of who God really is? September 26, 2021
We all have hopes and dreams, but what are we supposed to do when our hearts are broken and our dreams can’t come true? It’s tempting to take matters into our own hands, but is there a better way? September 19, 2021
Many times, we learn from our mistakes in the areas that matter least, but we repeat our mistakes in the areas that matter most. So how can we ensure that the next time won’t be like the last time? Instead of being a conformer, it’s time to be a transformer. September 12, 2021
If you don’t want a relationship like the majority of relationships, don’t date like the majority of daters. In this message, Andy Stanley gives five rules for dating. September 5, 2021
From elementary school through high school, many of us had ideas of what the perfect relationship would look like in the future. While those dreams may not represent our current reality, a step in the right direction could be to follow the apostle Paul’s advice—move from our childish ways and start being grownups. August 29, 2021
If becoming the right kind of person is key to a great relationship, how do you do that? Is there something you can do to prepare? Does it just happen? Sure, we’re supposed to love others, but what does that really mean? Let’s lean in and read the fine print. A promise is no substitute for preparation. If we want to have great relationships, we must do some work. We need to look at ourselves and see where we may need more practice. Where do you have work to do? Patience? Kindness? Public celebration of others? Honor? August 22, 2021
In relationships, we often believe if we find the right person it will make everything right. So we ask ourselves, “Is this the right person for me?” Maybe we need to be asking a different question—a question that shifts our focus from seeking the right kind of person to becoming the right kind of person. The kind of person Jesus leads his followers to become is the kind of person we are looking for and, ultimately, want to become. August 15, 2021
At some point, we all face a choice of whether to remain in the shallows of faith or journey to the depths. The truth is we can’t do both. We either settle for the shallows or take the plunge to grow deeper. In the final message of this series, we’ll discuss the one choice required to deepen our faith. August 8, 2021
Many of us have viewed faith as something we do alone. We might have said that it’s private. But there’s a limit to our faith growth when we go it alone. There’s a deepening to our faith that we only experience together. When it comes to consistently growing our faith, “we” is greater than “me.” Who’s spurring on your faith and whose faith are you spurring on? August 1, 2021
Moving out of the shallows starts with feeding ourselves spiritually. But if we stop at that first step, we’ll be left spiritually fat rather than spiritually fit. How do we prevent that from happening? The next step involves a spiritual workout that’s unique for each one of us. July 25, 2021
No one strives to be shallow. We all want something real and relationships with depth. But how do we grow deeper spiritually? The journey starts with a step that each of us can only take for ourselves. July 18, 2021
When we see someone we care about make bad decisions, we can either confront them about it or hope someone else does. But we should ask ourselves: are we really being kind, or are we letting fear, discomfort, or indifference be the boss of us? July 11, 2021
