https://purposechurch.com/nextsteps/ We are in a spiritual war, and the enemy will do whatever he can to pull us away from God.

The book of James in the Bible is a letter written to the early Christian church, which was facing persecution for its faith in Jesus.

https://purposechurch.com/nextsteps/ Whether we realize it or not, each of us is in a spiritual war.

In Luke 19:1-10 we learn about Zacchaeus, a tax collector in Jericho, who is greatly disliked by the people of Jericho due to the position he holds.

https://purposechurch.com/nextsteps/ What do your strongest emotions reveal about your heart? In Jonah 4, the story takes a turn, not because God fails, but because Jonah is furious that God showed mercy to people he didn’t think deserved it. This message explores how ungodly anger can cloud our vision, distort our priorities, and keep us from […]
In Luke 10:38–42, Jesus enters the home of Martha and Mary. While Martha rushes around trying to prepare their home for Him, Mary simply sits at Jesus’ feet and listens. Jesus gently reminds Martha—and us—that only one thing is truly needed: to be with Him. Our lives don’t need to be perfect or cleaned up […]
https://purposechurch.com/nextsteps/ This week is our Pastor swap where we get to hear from our Purpose en Español Pastor, David Vargas. No matter how far you’ve run or how many times you’ve failed, God’s grace still has the final word. In Jonah 3, we see a powerful portrait of a God who gives second chances, not […]
You’re searching for something real—something deeper than another like, scroll, or fake smile—and Jesus knows exactly what that is. In John 13, He gathers with His friends around a table and does the unthinkable: He serves them, including the ones who would betray, deny, and desert Him. Through this moment, Jesus offers what our generation […]
https://purposechurch.com/nextsteps/ God doesn’t give up on us—even when we run. In this message from Jonah 2, Pastor Eric shares how God’s grace often shows up in unexpected, difficult, or even painful ways—not to punish us, but to get our attention and draw us back to Him. From the depths of despair, Jonah discovers the surprising […]
One of the best ways to connect with others is over a meal! Jesus seemed to know that too, and preached to His disciples during many meals.

Why do we really run from God?

In this message, Joey Versace helps us explore the tension between faith and doubt—how we balance what we know, how we feel, and what we do. Following the disciples’ journey in Matthew 14, we see their struggle after receiving the news of John the Baptist’s death, leading up to the moment when Jesus enters their […]
As we discussed last week, the Bible shows that marriage and sex were God’s ideas first. So what does the Bible say about same-sex marriages? There are five passages in the Bible that specifically address same-sex sexual activity. While there are different interpretations amongst Christians, each of those passages prohibits same-sex sexual activity. In addition, […]
This week, Pastor Eric Holmstrom continues our series The Real Jesus. As we go through Matthew Jesus teaches us in parables. Today, we look at the parables in a lens that shows Jesus didn’t teach in confusing riddles, but rather, He had a point and was speaking clearly to those listening. Study Guide | Download […]
Marriage and sex were God’s ideas first. His Word contains the best ways to think about and make decisions about marriage and sex, because He wants what is ultimately best for us – and that is a relationship with Him as the Lord of our lives. As we trust and obey His ways for marriage […]
Pornography is a rapidly growing addiction globally and is accessible to almost anyone. Research shows that 85% of 10-17-year-olds have seen pornography, whether or not they wanted to see it or intentionally sought it out themselves. If this is the case, why isn’t it talked about more? That is because it brings shame, is somewhat […]
In Matthew 11 Jesus makes it clear He wants the burden to follow Him to be light. He will walk alongside us and guide us through the pain of life. Jesus doesn’t declare to remove hardship, but rather be our refuge to get through it! Study Guide | Download Audio File
Being single can be difficult at times. Loneliness, comparison, and lust can creep in from every direction. However, marriage is not the answer to combat sin, Jesus is. How can we move from a place of pain to the power of Jesus even in our singleness? The Bible gives us clear ways to live a […]
What are things that Jesus expects from us? Sometimes it’s hard to discern and it can be daunting to over analyze and think there is more than is truly expected. Today Pastor Eric clarifies some of the expectations Jesus has in the Matthew chapter 10. Study Guide | Download Audio File
In a world that pushes us to seek love and validation through relationships, God calls us to something deeper. Dating isn’t just about what we can get out of it—it’s about how we love and honor others like Jesus. Tonight’s message unpacked biblical truths on love, relationships, and boundaries, reminding us that our identity isn’t […]
Jesus can reach all of us no matter where we are in life. Sometimes it may seem that we can get too intellectual for faith, or too wealthy to need Jesus, or sometimes it’s easy to get so caught up in our activism it can feel that we are doing the work and God isn’t […]
Jesus did many miracles in His time here, but one of the key factors in witnessing God move in our lives is our willingness. Having little faith can make big changes. God does not make us go to extremes to experience Him, instead He wants to meet each one of us right where we are […]
This month, we talked about the purpose of prayer, how to pray, and finally, how to make our prayers personal. Making our prayers more personal is possible by being vulnerable and honest with God, as well as praying for what’s on His heart. As we connect with Him in prayer, He transforms us to look […]
Last week, we studied the purpose of prayer. Tonight, we will discover how to pray! Jesus taught His followers how to pray during His Sermon on the Mount through what is known as the Lord’s Prayer.
