Few of Jesus’ teachings are more radical, counterintuitive, and disorienting to our cultural assumptions than what Jesus has to say about money and generosity. We hear constantly the Western formula of “more money = more happiness.” But Jesus boldly claims that happiness is found not in the accumulation of wealth, but in a deeply relational life of giving and love.We could not be more excited for you to go on this five-session journey of generosity. From a distance, generosity can sound like a “hard” practice; and it is, at first. But it quickly becomes one of the most joyful of all the practices of Jesus.Our prayer for the coming weeks is this: that you begin to discover the great joy Jesus is referring to — not just the good feelings that come from practicing generosity, but ultimately, the joy that comes from participating in the inner life of God himself — the most generous being in all the universe. “There is more happiness in giving than in receiving.” —Acts 20:35

Jesus of Nazareth’s death is not the final chapter. As the firstborn of the new creation (Col. 1:15, 18) and heir of all things (Heb. 1:2), he demonstrates that death is not humanity’s end. Though death remains a harsh and enigmatic reality, Christ’s resurrection reveals that life endures beyond the grave. God’s boundless love transcends death, stripping it of its power through Jesus’ promise of eternal life. On Easter Sunday, Christians rejoice in this unyielding life—the life of Jesus—celebrating the hope and renewal that his resurrection brings to all.Three days after his crucifixion, two women among Jesus’ followers discover the tomb open, its stone rolled away, and his body missing. An angelic figure proclaims that Jesus has risen and instructs them to inform the others, saying he is alive and will meet his disciples in Galilee. Jesus appears to his followers, displaying his wounds and inviting them to touch his resurrected body. In Luke’s account, he casually asks for food, eats fish with them, and converses as a living, breathing person (Luke 24:41-43). As the pioneer of new creation, Jesus empowers his disciples with the same divine spirit, sending them to spread the gospel of resurrection and God’s eternal love. On Easter Sunday, Christians exult in this truth: Jesus is risen, ushering in a new creation where hope triumphs!
Holy Week, also known as Passion Week, is the final week of Jesus' life before the cross, a period filled with significant conversations, intense interactions with opposition, final preparations with his disciples, and deep emotions. The beginning of this week is marked by Jesus' triumphal entry into Jerusalem, as described in Mark 11:1-11. As Jesus approached Jerusalem on a colt, the crowds greeted him with palm branches, shouting "Hosanna! Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!" and praising the coming kingdom of their father David. This event, while seemingly a moment of royal recognition reminiscent of ancient processions for rulers and military leaders, and even modern-day celebrations for champions, held a deeper significance as it signaled the approaching crucifixion. However, the people's hope during this triumphal entry was misguided; they praised Jesus with expectations of an earthly king who would deliver them from Roman rule, drawing parallels to past victories.Despite the outward appearance of a king's welcome, Jesus was entering Jerusalem as a suffering servant king, a concept the people, including his own disciples, did not fully grasp. God's kingdom is a subversive kingdom, advancing His will beneath the surface of chaotic events and misunderstandings. Just as God used Joseph's suffering for good, He was working through the events of Holy Week towards His ultimate redemptive plan. Palm Sunday reminds us to examine our own hopes, to trust in God's plans even when unseen, and to be prepared to suffer and serve like Jesus in the advancement of His kingdom.
This series will look at the various aspects of Jesus’ ministry: healing, raising from the dead, parables, cleansing the temple, teaching disciples, and facing opposition. Each week we will look at different aspect of His ministry in order to better understand God’s kingdom, Jesus’ purpose, and how we should therefore live like Jesus in our lives today. Each week we are seeking to answer: how do each of these aspects of Jesus ministry lead us to a deeper understanding of Jesus’ purpose and mission on earth? What do each reveal about Him and His kingdom? And how are those aspects still alive and present today? In us, in the church, in our faith community? Are we participating in the ministry of Jesus like He wants us to be?

In this series, we turn our attention to having hearts of gratitude, as from the heart flows trust in God, service to others, and a righteous perspective of the world around us. Beginning with the heart lays the foundation to be thankful in all circumstances, as even though life may be difficult, we are thankful that God is sovereign over all. We’ll also see how gratitude equates to action as we serve from a thankful heart. That foundation of gratitude and those acts of service further build within us a deep trust that God will always provide what we need, and we can be thankful, even before God has done anything.

The book of Nehemiah… Originally paired with the book of Ezra in the Hebrew texts, these accounts detail the return, the rebuilding, and the restoration of a lost and broken people and their broken city. Nehemiah continues the restorative work that God begin with Ezra, as together both books span over 100 years of Israel’s history. Nehemiah is a man driven by his love and loyalty to God. He sets an example for Israel and for us today by beginning in prayer before taking action. He was a gifted administrator and leader for Israel and was passionate about seeing Jerusalem rebuilt. Beyond the physical city being restored, he also greatly desired that Israel’s community life and worship return to its regular rhythm. Some of the leading themes in Nehemiah include: The Doctrine of God, The Supremacy of Scripture, The History of Salvation, The Importance of Prayer, the Nature of Leadership, and the Provisional Nature of Work. Nehemiah, along with Ezra, sought to restore Israel’s identity as God’s people, chosen to be set apart as a light for the rest of humanity. And while the temple is rebuilt, and the city comes to life again, and God’s sovereignty is seen as he provides for the restoration—the book still points forward to God’s heavenly kingdom. On a deeper level, the people realize that the earthly restoration as glorious as they might have hoped for as the temple is unremarkably small, they are still under the authority of a foreign nation, and the temptation toward sin that got them exiled in the first place still exists. The story of Nehemiah ends pointing us towards God’s promise of an eternity with Him and the fullest restoration we will experience in heaven.

The story of Nehemiah ends pointing us towards God’s promise of an eternity with Him and the fullest restoration we will experience in heaven.
The book of Nehemiah… Originally paired with the book of Ezra in the Hebrew texts, these accounts detail the return, the rebuilding, and the restoration of a lost and broken people and their broken city. Nehemiah continues the restorative work that God begin with Ezra, as together both books span over 100 years of Israel’s history. Nehemiah is a man driven by his love and loyalty to God. He sets an example for Israel and for us today by beginning in prayer before taking action. He was a gifted administrator and leader for Israel and was passionate about seeing Jerusalem rebuilt. Beyond the physical city being restored, he also greatly desired that Israel’s community life and worship return to its regular rhythm. Some of the leading themes in Nehemiah include: The Doctrine of God, The Supremacy of Scripture, The History of Salvation, The Importance of Prayer, the Nature of Leadership, and the Provisional Nature of Work. Nehemiah, along with Ezra, sought to restore Israel’s identity as God’s people, chosen to be set apart as a light for the rest of humanity.

Psalms is a collection of 150 ancient Hebrew poems, songs, and prayers that come from all different eras in Israel’s history. While there are many different types of poems in these collections, they can all be sorted into two larger categories of either lament or praise. Poems of lament express the pain, confusion, and even anger of the poets about the horrible things happening around them or to them. They draw attention to what’s wrong in the world and ask God to do something about it. There are a lot of these lament poems in the book, which shoes that this is an appropriate response to the evil and tragedy we see in the world. Lamentation can play an important role in the journey of prayer. While these lament poems make up much of Books 1-3, you can see that praise poems are occasionally woven in as well. These are poems of joy and celebration that draw attention to what’s good in the world. They retell stories of what God has done in the lives of his people, and they thank him for it. In Books 4-5, praise poems outnumber the laments, culminating in the 5-part hallelujah conclusion. The shift from predominately lament psalms in the beginning of the book to predominately praise psalms in the last two sections of the book tell us something about the nature of prayer according to the Torah. Hoping for the Messianic Kingdom as the book teaches us to do will create a lot of tension as we look on the tragic state of our world or our own lives. The Psalms teach us to neither ignore pain, nor to let it determine the meaning of our lives. Biblical faith and prayers is always forward looking, anticipating the day when God will fulfill his promises and praising him for this ahead of time. The Torah and Messiah, lament and praise, faith and hope, this is what the book of Psalms is all about.

The letter to the Philippians, written by Paul, gave news of Paul’s work, plans, and hopes. But it also teaches us today about the dangers of placing our confidence in anything but Christ and the joy that is found in Him that can sustain us through any challenge. Dr. Carl Laney writes,“Paul knew that a heart filled with joy was better able to endure through difficult times.” Our goal in this series is to connect and reinforce in people’s minds that being a Christian means in some way participating in the life of Jesus. Through every aspect of our lives, whether joy or sacrifice, it can be used for God’s kingdom and in that there is joy. And as we serve, we are deeply transformed through the Spirit’s work in us. There is an invitation to partner with Christ, will we accept that invitation from Jesus?

All of us are on a journey. Walking through life making choices each and everyday. The Apostle Paul or Saul was traveling on the right road for the wrong reasons. Jesus meets him on the Road to Damascus and radically changes his life. Along this transformative journey, there are multiple people who along with Paul have to put their faith in God in saying “Yes” to what God is asking them to do. Pastor Shane shared his personal journey of someone who, despite a troubled past, found purpose and faith through a transformative encounter with God. It highlights the power of saying "yes" to God, even when the path is uncertain. Drawing parallels with the Apostle Paul's conversion, it emphasizes the importance of humility and obedience. Pastor Shane shares how this "yes" led to unexpected adventures, including ministry in an RV community, demonstrating the impact of faith in action. God is inviting us to consider our own "yes" to His perfect calling. And when we do say “Yes,” it leads to meaningful change and community impact like we could never imagine.

Death is not the end of the story for Jesus of Nazareth. As the firstborn of new creation (Col. 1:15, 18) and the heir of all things (Heb.1:2), he is showing humanity that death is not the end of our story either. It’s a brutal and mysterious part of our story, but in the light of Christ, we can believe that our life does not end in earthly death. God’s love carries us through, and death loses its sting in the face of Jesus’ resurrection promise. This is the indestructible life we celebrate on Easter Sunday, the life of Jesus!Three days after Jesus’ execution, two women from among Jesus’ disciples find out that the tomb’s stone has been moved—the seal is broken, and Jesus’ body is gone. An angelic man says Jesus has risen, and he urges the women to tell the other disciples. Jesus is alive and heading north, and he plans to meet his disciples in Galilee.Jesus meets with his followers, showing them his wounds and letting them touch his resurrected body. According to Luke’s version of the story, when Jesus first sees the disciples, he asks them if they have any leftovers to share. They give him some fish, and he chats with them over a meal (Luke 24:41-43). Jesus passed through death and returned to life as a walking, talking, living human being who was hungry for some leftovers—he is the firstborn of humanity in the new creation. And he tells his disciples that he’s going to give them the same divine power that sustains him, so they can go out and share the good news of resurrection and the unending love of God’s Kingdom with people throughout the world.Embark on a transformative four-part journey with us as we empower you with the skills and insights necessary to foster lasting connections in your relationships.

And he tells his disciples that he’s going to give them the same divine power that sustains him, so they can go out and share the good news of resurrection and the unending love of God’s Kingdom with people throughout the world.Embark on a transformative four-part journey with us as we empower you with the skills and insights necessary to foster lasting connections in your relationships.

Death is not the end of the story for Jesus of Nazareth. As the firstborn of new creation (Col. 1:15, 18) and the heir of all things (Heb.1:2), he is showing humanity that death is not the end of our story either. It’s a brutal and mysterious part of our story, but in the light of Christ, we can believe that our life does not end in earthly death. God’s love carries us through, and death loses its sting in the face of Jesus’ resurrection promise. This is the indestructible life we celebrate on Easter Sunday, the life of Jesus!Three days after Jesus’ execution, two women from among Jesus’ disciples find out that the tomb’s stone has been moved—the seal is broken, and Jesus’ body is gone. An angelic man says Jesus has risen, and he urges the women to tell the other disciples. Jesus is alive and heading north, and he plans to meet his disciples in Galilee.Jesus meets with his followers, showing them his wounds and letting them touch his resurrected body. According to Luke’s version of the story, when Jesus first sees the disciples, he asks them if they have any leftovers to share. They give him some fish, and he chats with them over a meal (Luke 24:41-43). Jesus passed through death and returned to life as a walking, talking, living human being who was hungry for some leftovers—he is the firstborn of humanity in the new creation. And he tells his disciples that he’s going to give them the same divine power that sustains him, so they can go out and share the good news of resurrection and the unending love of God’s Kingdom with people throughout the world.Jesus sends the disciples out to all families of the Earth with this good news. Everyone can join Jesus’ Kingdom by turning away from their fear of death and turning toward his love and following his way of life. On Easter Sunday, followers of Jesus celebrate with joy! Jesus has risen, and his new creation has begun. Hope is RISEN!
Palm Sunday celebrates Jesus and his disciples arriving in Jerusalem to celebrate Passover after a long journey. Jesus’ arrival in the city is often referred to as the “triumphal entry.” And it was—the crowds cried out, “Praise the King who comes in the name of the Lord!” And they sang “Hosanna!” while throwing palm branches and coats on his path. But Jesus wasn’t the king they were expecting. Many thought this king would honor the temple and its powerful leaders, but Jesus powerfully criticizes the temple system and predicts its collapse. Others hoped Jesus would lead a military revolt as previous “messiahs” had done, but Jesus rides in without armies or weapons or warhorses. He comes on a donkey filled with patient, peaceful, self-giving love. He shocks people further when he says that the Kingdom of God belongs not to the elite and powerful but to the poor and the outsider. God’s Kingdom is one where love reigns—love of God and others, including our enemies.
The letter to the Philippians, written by Paul, gave news of Paul’s work, plans, and hopes. But it also teaches us today about the dangers of placing our confidence in anything but Christ and the joy that is found in Him that can sustain us through any challenge. Dr. Carl Laney writes,“Paul knew that a heart filled with joy was better able to endure through difficult times.” Our goal in this series is to connect and reinforce in people’s minds that being a Christian means in some way participating in the life of Jesus. Through every aspect of our lives, whether joy or sacrifice, it can be used for God’s kingdom and in that there is joy. And as we serve, we are deeply transformed through the Spirit’s work in us. There is an invitation to partner with Christ, will we accept that invitation from Jesus?

At the beginning of a new year it is natural to look back on the past year to reflect on all that has occurred, as well as to look forward to hope, dream, and make goals and plans.

Gratitude is the most healthy emotion. Scientist have found that there is nothing better for your health. It is a stress buster! Almost 90% of all doctor visits are linked to stress! Gratitude is also an immune booster. Studies showed that people who were grateful on a regular basis had a higher number of blood cells that help protect the immune system. Same was for those recovering from surgery or fighting a disease, they all had better outcomes. Gratitude actually rewires our brain. The physical, molecular, neurons, are actually changed with gratitude. It is like a work out for our brain for the better! I love how gratitude is directly linked to biology. It was almost like God knew this, and in creating this as a repeated theme in the Bible. But what does the Bible have to say about being Thankful or why we should be thankful? Thankfulness, being thankful, and gratitude are mentioned almost 200 times in the Bible, so its a pretty big deal.
This series in Romans will be a long-term view of Paul’s fullest explanation of the Gospel. We’ll learn what the Good News is all about: Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Going verse by verse, chapter by chapter, we will seek to unpack every layer of Paul’s words as he writes about who Jesus is, how his birth, death, and resurrection were an act of love, ultimate sacrifice, and so life giving for all believers. By better understanding humanities state of sin, we will better understand our need of a Savior, which will hopefully lead us to a heart of thanksgiving and appreciation for what God has done and is doing in our life. As Paul wrote both to the Jews and to the Romans, we can read and study the book of Romans as believers and nonbelievers. This series will reach believers, reminding them of the truths of the Gospel, while also reaching nonbelievers, explaining the Truth to them. “Paul wrote this letter in order to accomplish a few things. He wanted this divided community to become unified once again. For a practical purpose, he hoped that the Roman church could become a staging ground for his mission to go even further west, all the way to Spain. These tense circumstances motivated Paul to write out his fullest explanation of the gospel, the good news that announces Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.” - Bible Project

Impossible Moments, Believing in God Through Life’s Challenges - will be a look into true historical biblical events where the situation or task was impossible through the human lens. In the eyes of the human characters, there was seemingly no way forward, no means of success, no possibilities that would lead to their benefit and YET in God there was a way. Each scenario in this series tells the story of a success or victory or experience that was only possible through the power of God.
Throughout the Bible, God intervenes in the lives and plan of people for their benefit but also for His glory. Sometimes it means defeating an enemy, other times it means bending the laws and physics of the world around us for the benefit of his people, and still other times it means overcoming impossible odds to bring life, or joy, or righteousness into the world. Whatever the scenario, in each story there is only one possible explanation - God. Our goal, as SVC, will be to relearn and be reminded of what God has done and who He is, specifically in the Old Testament. In each impossible moment, there is something to be learned about who God is and how he operates in this world. We want to take a deeper look into each miraculous account, but also what that story reveals about God’s character.
God is amazing, sovereign, all powerful God who works in mysterious and awesome ways. This series will showcase the mighty God we worship and adore.

In the eyes of the human characters, there was seemingly no way forward, no means of success, no possibilities that would lead to their benefit and YET in God there was a way. Each scenario in this series tells the story of a success or victory or experience that was only possible through the power of God.
Throughout the Bible, God intervenes in the lives and plan of people for their benefit but also for His glory. Sometimes it means defeating an enemy, other times it means bending the laws and physics of the world around us for the benefit of his people, and still other times it means overcoming impossible odds to bring life, or joy, or righteousness into the world. Whatever the scenario, in each story there is only one possible explanation - God. Our goal, as SVC, will be to relearn and be reminded of what God has done and who He is, specifically in the Old Testament. In each impossible moment, there is something to be learned about who God is and how he operates in this world. We want to take a deeper look into each miraculous account, but also what that story reveals about God’s character.

This series in Romans will be a long-term view of Paul’s fullest explanation of the Gospel. We’ll learn what the Good News is all about: Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection. Going verse by verse, chapter by chapter, we will seek to unpack every layer of Paul’s words as he writes about who Jesus is, how his birth, death, and resurrection were an act of love, ultimate sacrifice, and so life giving for all believers. By better understanding humanities state of sin, we will better understand our need of a Savior, which will hopefully lead us to a heart of thanksgiving and appreciation for what God has done and is doing in our life. As Paul wrote both to the Jews and to the Romans, we can read and study the book of Romans as believers and nonbelievers. This series will reach believers, reminding them of the truths of the Gospel, while also reaching nonbelievers, explaining the Truth to them. “Paul wrote this letter in order to accomplish a few things. He wanted this divided community to become unified once again. For a practical purpose, he hoped that the Roman church could become a staging ground for his mission to go even further west, all the way to Spain. These tense circumstances motivated Paul to write out his fullest explanation of the gospel, the good news that announces Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection.” - Bible Project

He Has Risen! Easter celebrates everything that we need in our lives remembering what happened that very first Easter when Jesus walked out of the tomb defeating death once and for all! But if we have the wrong perspective, we could miss what Easter is truly about! Context is everything and our new is NOT God's view. That first Easter the disciples and Mary's view from below seemed that all was lost. But from God's view from above, all is WON!That first Easter, God announced to the world that there is HOPE! NT Wright has a quote that says, "Jesus’ resurrection is the beginning of God’s new project not to snatch people away from earth to heaven but to colonize earth with the life of heaven." God wants us to know that Heaven is invading now! And when we look at 3 people who experienced the resurrection first hand we see that truth!Because of the resurrection, Many overcame grief. Because of the resurrection, the Disciples overcame fear. Because of the resurrection Thomas overcame doubt.This means that because Jesus was raised from the dead and walked about of that grave, the resurrection means that Courage is available. It means that Hope is possible and it means that faith is rational.But the question for us is, what do we believe?
Palm Sunday celebrates Jesus Christ's triumphal entry into Jerusalem, where he was welcomed by crowds waving palm branches and singing praises. This event marks the beginning of Holy Week, which culminates in Jesus' crucifixion and resurrection.Palm Sunday is a time to reflect on the humility and sacrifice of Jesus. It reminds us that despite his status as the Son of God, he chose to enter Jerusalem on a humble donkey, rather than a majestic horse or chariot. This act symbolizes his willingness to suffer and die for the salvation of humanity.The palm branches used in Palm Sunday celebrations are a symbol of victory and triumph. They represent the crowds' recognition of Jesus as the Messiah and their hope that he would liberate them from oppression.Overall, Palm Sunday is a powerful reminder of the selflessness and love that Jesus demonstrated throughout his life. It encourages us to emulate his example of humility, compassion, and sacrifice in our own lives.

Masterclass - Learning from Christ’s Sermon on the Mount - is a deeper look into Christ’s explanation of the kingdom of God. In this sermon, Jesus is revealing to the people what the kingdom of God truly looks like, not just in heaven but here on earth. He’s constructing the pieces together correctly (whereas the people at the time had a misunderstanding of God’s kingdom i.e. ruling authority on earth, overthrowing the Roman Empire, etc.). The people learn that God’s kingdom is upside compared to the world’s kingdoms. Where the world values strong and powerful, Jesus values the meek and the weak. Where the world values status and influence, Jesus values humility and compassion. Jesus’ sermon on the mount is like the 10 Commandments of the Old Testament, it tells the people how to live properly, how to be a follower of Jesus, how to live how God wants us to live. Our goal, as SVC, will be to relearn and be reminded of what Christ calls us to. How our faith calls us to live differently than the world around us. It calls us to value life differently than the world around us. It calls us to live according to God’s kingdom and not the world’s kingdom, not the U.S. kingdom, not a political party, a cultural subgroup, but God’s kingdom. We are called to be defined by Christ’s love, compassion, kindness, generosity, humility, and peace.

Masterclass - Learning from Christ’s Sermon on the Mount - is a deeper look into Christ’s explanation of the kingdom of God. In this sermon, Jesus is revealing to the people what the kingdom of God truly looks like, not just in heaven but here on earth. He’s constructing the pieces together correctly (whereas the people at the time had a misunderstanding of God’s kingdom i.e. ruling authority on earth, overthrowing the Roman Empire, etc.). The people learn that God’s kingdom is upside compared to the world’s kingdoms. Where the world values strong and powerful, Jesus values the meek and the weak. Where the world values status and influence, Jesus values humility and compassion. Jesus’ sermon on the mount is like the 10 Commandments of the Old Testament, it tells the people how to live properly, how to be a follower of Jesus, how to live how God wants us to live. Our goal, as SVC, will be to relearn and be reminded of what Christ calls us to. How our faith calls us to live differently than the world around us. It calls us to value life differently than the world around us. It calls us to live according to God’s kingdom and not the world’s kingdom, not the U.S. kingdom, not a political party, a cultural subgroup, but God’s kingdom. We are called to be defined by Christ’s love, compassion, kindness, generosity, humility, and peace.
