As we get closer to Easter, for week four of our series Encounter, we are looking at an encounter with Jesus that took place the week before His death.

Our story today is a much quieter moment, at a meal, in someone’s home, when Jesus is gathered with his disciples and some religious leaders, and something unexpected happens. Watch with us!

Co-Founding Pastor Jon Ferguson continues our series: Encounter

When people thought it was all about a crown, Jesus showed them it was all about a cross.

When he could have chosen privilege, he chose sacrifice. When he could have had prominence, he chose selflessness. When he could have wielded power, he chose to serve, EVEN WHEN that serving meant dying on the cross for us.

Will you trust that his way is better?

Watch week three of our series Encounter! In your life today, how has his way been BETTER ?🙌

Jesus isn’t inviting us to his message, he’s not inviting us to a workshop, he’s inviting us to Himself. Into his life, into his circle.

This is a unique request because only Jesus has this unique authority.

Week 1 of Our New Series “Encounter” starts today! Over the next 5 weeks, we’ll be looking at real-life stories in the Bible about people who encountered Jesus.

With each encounter, we’re going to challenge you to step back into time and discover what that face-to-face, nose-to-nose, eyeball-to-eyeball personal encounter with Jesus must have been like.

Our hope and prayer is that you will have your own encounter with Jesus.

“Forever” is such a deeply divine idea, and if it wasn’t for God planting it IN us - eternity wouldn’t even be on our radar.

Instead, God has planted within each of us a LONGING for something MORE, something that LASTS, it is a longing for the ETERNAL.🙌

Sometimes God speaks in a way that is often subtle and can easily be missed. But, when we pay close enough attention, you might just hear his whisper 👂

Jesus explains it like this 🙌

“Whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear a voice behind you, saying, ‘This is the way; walk in it.’” - Isaiah 30:21

The Spirit of God is with us, guiding us with a whisper. Even Jesus himself has this picture of a whisper in mind when he describes the Holy Spirit.

But what does this actually look like for us, to hear God’s whisper?

Sometimes, we don't see the whole picture 🏞️

So here’s something to consider...💭

A similar thing is true when it comes to Scripture. When we read the Bible, what we see is somewhat limited by our viewpoints and experiences. On our own, we likely aren’t getting the whole picture. And this is why we were meant to explore the kingdom together!

In order to see all that God has for us in His word, we need to hear from others. We can learn a lot from someone else’s perspective.

Most people in our world live a YOU life. But Jesus came to bring us a different kind of life…a flourishing kind of life… what we’re calling the YOU+ life.
Jesus described it this way:
“I have come that they may have life and have it to the full.” - John 10:10
But moving from the YOU life to the YOU+ life can cause a kind of spiritual, mental, and emotional jetlag. It’s a difficult adjustment. You have to move from one reality you’ve been living in to another.
But although it maybe a difficult adjustment, we believe that we can do it together.
For week 2 of our series YOU+, let’s choose to continue living a flourishing life. A life aligned with the Kingdom of God!

View Details

The YOU+ life is a flourishing life lived as a disciple of Jesus. What is a disciple? A person who hears from God and does what he says.
Today, we are beginning not just a series that can lead you into this YOU+ life; we’re beginning a new season here at COMMUNITY centered on helping one another live this YOU+ life as disciples of Jesus.
We want to invite you to have a YOU+ conversation.

God Came Down.

The Christmas story is shocking because the perfect God came to be with us in our imperfect humanity.

No matter what memories or emotions the words of the Christmas story conjure up, it can be easy with all the familiarity to miss the radically shocking truth at the center of the story.

But, what would motivate God; someone, so good, so pure, and so perfect to come down to humanity? Well, you might know the answer 😉

This Christmas, know that no matter who you are… God came down for YOU. God is accessible to YOU. God includes YOU.

And don’t forget, after you listen to the message let us know your thoughts below!

For week four of our series, Making Room In Advent, we want to make God the center stage of our lives.

The truth is, your preparation can reveal a lot about what you value. So, how can you make sure you center your preparation around what really matters?

Well, luckily for you, Advent is all about preparation… preparation for Jesus! So, today what really matters is that you can center your preparation toward him 🙌

After you listen to the message, let us know what you think below. Let’s give God the center stage!

We believe that God has placed a dream within you. It might be something huge and overwhelming, or it might be something intimate and personal. But whatever it is, there is a song you are meant to sing in this world. And the same is true for everyone.

You CAN make room for God to work in your life by making room for others. So, after you watch the talk… how can you add your voice to the chorus God is bringing together in this community?

We all have a dream, a version of who we want to be and what we want to accomplish or experience. And, most of us give our very best effort to become every bit of the person we hope to become.

But sometimes, reality has a way of bringing us face to face with life’s limitations.

Whether it be your work, relationships, body, finances, or even Christmas, so often what we dream versus what we experience leaves us feeling inadequate.

So, here's the good news…

Although the things that limit you are difficult, what if the places and the things that limit you are the exact thing or place God wants to do his best work?

It’s the most wonderful time of the year! ✝️ 🎄

That's right; it's time for our Christmas series! God has been doing so many amazing things in and through our church lately, and we are so grateful. But, the truth is the past couple of years have been TOUGH… One thing specifically is that we’ve all had to wait.

Waiting for answers.
Waiting for people.
Waiting for clarity.

Waiting is hard. Very hard 😕.

So, what if there was a purpose to all of this waiting? After all, God does some of his best work when we wait 😉.

When you are facing regret, how do you respond?

For week 5 of our series Starting Over, we conclude by discussing how we can continue to have healthy relationships with our regret.

“Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail. They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness. - Lamentations 3:22-23

Whether the regrets are big, life-altering things, or the daily small regrets you might face… we all can start over. Each and every day is an opportunity to start over.

God wants to take your story of regret and turn it into a story of redemption.

The Apostle Paul writes… “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (Romans 8:28)

That’s right! ALL things!

God wants to take even your worst mistakes and use them for good. Grab a hold of this truth: Your worst moments are where God can do his best work. When you are at your lowest, stuck in regret, God can bring about the biggest change. He wants to take us from regret to redemption.

For the final week of our series, The Book of Philippians our focus moves towards following Jesus in his Kingdom way.

If we are formed by our experiences, what we take in, and what engages our mind, how are we focusing on forming ourselves to have a Kingdom-oriented perspective?

The truth is, it can be hard to continuously focus on forming a Kingdom-oriented perspective when you have different challenges around, maybe from work or at home.

But no matter the circumstance, if you focus your heart on Jesus, you will find peace.

Yet somehow, they were able to find the courage to move forward and pursue their dreams!

Have you ever had a goal or dream that you wanted to chase but didn’t because there was a chance of failure? Maybe you wanted to take that first step but you doubted yourself.

Well, imagine thinking about that goal or dream and God whispers into your ear “Be Strong and Courageous”. Ha, That might motivate you!

As you watch you'll learn that has actually happened!

Two key character traits we see in Jesus' life were his generosity and his patience. Just like him, we too can be generous and patient.

As we talk about what it means to be FOR generosity and AGAINST selfishness, we believe generosity can be expressed in three different ways.

Easter

View Details

There are a couple views people have of Jesus, who walked the earth 2000 years ago:

He was a human being - and ONLY a human being. A good teacher, and a good example to follow.
He was the divine in human form - a SUPERHUMAN. Sure, he was physically a person, but did he really get what it's like to be a mere human being?

As Christ followers, we tend to think of him as the latter. And certainly, he was the divine even as he lived on earth. But we can't forget that he was also FULLY human. Fully divine, and fully human. He experienced the pains and struggles that all humans do.

And this has a couple of implications for us:
1. It means that his call to be his apprentices isn't some outlandish, impossible standard. He was fully human as he lived on earth and loved its people, and we have the ability to love just as he did.
2. It means Jesus gets us. He knows what we're going through. Every pain, hurt, frustration, and struggle we go through... our Lord understands.

A way of life where we RECOGNIZE the needs of the people around us and RESPOND with compassion.

Someone you would never imagine following Jesus? How can you be a beacon of hope in a world of darkness? At work, at home? To the ostracized in your world? Hope is for everyone!

The piece was so hauntingly beautiful that it quickly went viral and led to the founding of a nonprofit movement dedicated to presenting hope, and finding help for people struggling with mental health.

“To Write Love On Her Arms” is now an internationally recognized leader in suicide prevention and a source of help for millions. Based in Melbourne Beach, Florida, Jamie spends much of his time on the road telling the “To Write Love On Her Arms” story and encouraging audiences primarily at concerts and on university campuses.

View Details

We were not created to master commitment outside of our connection to God.

View Details

Because we are heard by God, we can grow as a listener.

View Details

Conflict is inevitable, how we respond is our choice. Conflict is not something to avoid; it’s an opportunity to follow Jesus the peacemaker.

The only on-ramp to connection in relationships is vulnerability.

God will transform our attitude about money when we choose to trust his wisdom about finances and generosity.

The way to knowing God is not by striving and trying harder. It’s through knowing and following Jesus.

The Bible can be shown to be a reliable document, accurately recorded and transmitted through history, and relevant to life in the 21st century.

View Details

With intention or by default, every person answers the question, “Is Jesus really God?” The overwhelming evidence points to the truth of his divinity.

View Details

God provided a way for everyone to find their way back to him. Most religions boil down to humanity trying to reach God, but Christianity is about God reaching humanity.

View Details

When we are open to the possibility of God’s existence, we’ll discover there are many indicators of his presence.

View Details

We were created to live in a relationship with God. Life is meaningless without God, but God gives everything meaning.

View Details

For God to do something big THRU YOU, first He wants to do something big IN YOU!

Maturity means humbling ourselves and drawing near to the God who draws near to us.

View Details

Our words are powerful and reflect the depth of our maturity.

Loving all people as ourselves is a mark of maturity.

View Details

When it comes to temptation, it’s not an “if” but a “when,” and the key to maturity is how we respond.

Our most treasured memories are memories of meaningful relationships.

View Details

This day could be your unexpected beginning.

View Details

View Details

View Details

A Christ-follower does not need to abandon rational thought to believe in the miracles described in the Bible or that miracles still happen today.

While God does not provide the reason for each experience of pain, through Jesus he does provide a way to face suffering with hope and courage rather than bitterness and despair.

View Details

The Bible can be shown to be a reliable document, accurately recorded and transmitted through history, which means we can trust the Bible as a solid foundation upon which to build our lives.

Salvation can only be found in the grace offered to us through Jesus; and that truth should make Christ-followers the most inclusive, reconciling, agents of peace the world has ever seen.

Living beyond your regrets is not a one-time fix, but a discipline God can help you employ whenever you need it.

View Details

In order to fully exit the Sorry Cycle and start over, we need to allow God to redeem our regrets, trusting him to make something good out of them.

View Details

In order to be free from the Sorry Cycle and the burden that holding on to regret can have on us, we must move to the second step and release it.

View Details

In order to break out of the Sorry Cycle of longing and regret, we must first recognize our regret to understand what it is we are feeling sorry about.

View Details

When we decide to follow Jesus, we approach politics the way Jesus taught us to approach everything...by putting love for God and love for people first.

View Details

When we decide to follow Jesus, we choose to build bridges to people who are different than us.

View Details

When we decide to follow Jesus, it means we will lead like Jesus. Jesus teaches us to leverage our authority and influence for the good of others.

View Details

Jesus isn’t satisfied with a casual friendship or a weekend relationship. He wants to intimately know you and be known. What will you decide?

View Details

Are you a fan or a follower? Jesus invites you to follow him into an extraordinary way of living. You have a decision to make.

Eyewitnesses to Jesus resurrection boldly proclaim, “Jesus is alive!” We can have confidence in their testimony and allow the reality of Jesus’ resurrection to change our lives just like it changed the course of history.

View Details

We can try to be good, but uncovering the practice of confession actually frees us from the grip of sin.

View Details

The Jesus Mission calls every one of us to be intentional about reaching out to include others in our circles.

All of us will experience times in our life when we need the support and accountability of a circle. Connecting in a circle, a Small Group, is like a retirement account, if you wait, it won’t be there when you need it.

View Details

We’re made for community. We’re wired for connection. We experience community in a circle. That’s why circles are better than rows.

View Details

Finding my way back to God at COMMUNITY inspires me to want to invite others to “Come and see!”

View Details

Through prayer, God not only impacts the people I want to invite to COMMUNITY, he changes me.

View Details

Whatever we hand over to Jesus we can expect Him to do something wonderful and creative.

View Details

Jesus demonstrates the best way to establish a healthy, Christ-centered relationship with others is to build a bridge to someone (through forgiveness) rather than building a case against them (through the law).

View Details

We are light of the world when we bring healing into the lives of others

View Details

The unconventional teaching of Jesus brings about the Kingdom of God on earth as it is in heaven.

View Details

As Christ-followers, we need to resist the human tendency to focus on our own performance and goodness and instead build our lives on the foundation of God’s grace.

View Details

Wholeheartedly following Jesus means having the courage to step out of our comfort zones to join him where he is and in what he is doing.

View Details

The Jesus who calls us to follow Him with our whole lives is also the Jesus who can help us face any and every storm that comes our way.

View Details

Jesus’ call to “follow me” is an invitation to a relationship that changes our whole lives.

View Details

The practice of communion given to us by God helps us to be reminded of our need for Jesus, to remember the sacrifice of Jesus, and to proclaim the death and resurrection of Jesus until He comes again.

View Details

We are strong because of the power of God. It is Him who fights for us, and the fight is not against one another but against evil. We are our strongest when we realize the fight is not against my brother or sister, but against evil, and we are strongest when we allow God’s power to fight for us and through us.
