This week we had the honor of hosting Ying Kai, a missionary whom God has used to bring over 1.5 million people to faith in Jesus! Ying talks to us this morning about the importance of sharing the gospel and the calling that we receive as Christians from above, below, inside, and outside.

View Details

The beginning of the church in Acts gives us a picture of a community devoted to Jesus and to each other. How do we live that out today? This week, Pastor Brandon tackles how we can live a life that puts Jesus on display by devoting ourselves to His body, the church.

View Details

We're all searching for something to save us. Why do we believe that Jesus fulfills all that we long for? Because it is true and He has proven it. Continuing on in Acts 2, Pastor Brandon shares what it means to acknowledge Jesus as both Lord and Savior.

View Details

Acts 2 covers the story of Pentecost, where the Holy Spirit comes upon the early church with fire and enables them to preach in multiple languages. There's a lot of imagery used in the story that can make it hard for to us understand, so this week Pastor Chad sets out to answer 3 basic questions: What did God do? Why did He do it like that? And How should we respond?

View Details

The church exists because of Jesus. We're here to continue His mission in the world. All throughout this series we're looking back to the beginning of the church and why it was founded to see what drives us into our mission here today.

View Details

Here at Austin Oaks Church, our passion is to help you meet, know, and follow Jesus. But what does it mean to follow Him? Is it just your own personal disciplines, or something more? Join us this week as Pastor Brandon looks at a few key stories from Jesus's life and encourages us to do the things that He did.

View Details

If you follow Jesus, will you be fulfilled. Sometimes it's hard to believe because often it doesn't look like what we thought it would. Often what really brings us lasting fulfillment comes through things we really don't want to have to do. This week Pastor Brandon takes a look at an Old Testament story that shows us what it looks like to be fully committed and what that requires of us.

View Details

The New Year brings with it all kinds of opportunities for change and growth, but do these resolutions ever really stick? Do they really paint the right picture of who we want to be? Or maybe a better question is, who does God want us to be? Join us this week as Pastor Brandon talks about what God wants for each one of us and how we are to grow in spiritual formation.

View Details

What are looking forward to in 2022? Have you made your resolutions yet? Well, as you're thinking through the next year, we'd like to challenge you to dedicate yourself to prayer and see what God will do in and through you as you give yourself to Him. This week Pastor Charles Mugisha of Africa New Life joins us to give us a glimpse of what it could look like when you cultivate a passion for God.

View Details

Jesus is the light of the world. But so often, we tend to follow after lesser lights. Can they ever really satisfy? What is it about Jesus that makes Him the better option?

View Details

What can we learn from Buddy the Elf about Christmas? This week Brandon takes us to the end of the gospel of  Luke and Jesus's resurrection, bringing joy to his disciples and providing us with a living hope.

View Details

After Jesus's death, the disciples were distraught. Their hope seemed to be gone. But in Luke 24, we see Jesus back on the earth, encouraging his disciples to not only grow in their faith, but proclaim it to the world. Join us this week as Pastor Brandon shows us what we can learn from this story, as well as how it coincides with the Christmas season.

View Details

Jesus's death and resurrection lies at the heart of Christianity. But what's so important that we see in the middle of all the suffering? This week Josh highlights some of the things that God was doing under the surface through Jesus's death and how it all came to light in the resurrection.

View Details

In the middle of Jesus's crucifixion, Luke describes the reactions of a few different people. This week Pastor Chad highlights these responses and how we tend to do the same things today, and also what we can learn about this pivotal moment in history.

View Details

When is faith at its best? When is it at its worst? This week Brandon looks at the differences between Jesus's approach to suffering and how Peter dealt with it, and the restoration that is freely given in Christ.

View Details

As much as we hate to admit it, we have a problem with our memory. Sure, there are things we can do to drill ideas into heads so that we don't forget, but we have a tendency to let go of a lot more than we retain. At the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples to remember Him using the bread and wine, and this tradition has been carried down through the church ever since. Why is it important that we remember, and what does this say about Jesus? Join us this week as Pastor Brandon looks at what it means to remember Jesus and how it changes us.

View Details

It's easy to look around and get discouraged by everything that is going on. But what if God was at work in the things that trouble us the most? And how do we become a part of what God is doing? Join us this week as Pastor Brandon shows us the hope that we have in Jesus and the purpose He gives us.

View Details

As we return to the book of Luke, Josh takes us through the story of Jesus's triumphal entry into Jerusalem and highlights the claims that Jesus makes about Himself. If He truly is the King over all, what does that mean for you and me?

View Details

As we gathered together to testify to what God's doing at AOC, Pastor Brandon looks to the gospel of John to describe another story of life change in Joseph of Arimathea. You also get to hear from Dave and Jennifer Terry share about a few of the ways that God has been working in their lives and their challenge to the church.

View Details

What do you love? It's a big question that drives how you spend your time and resources. Does what you love, in turn, love you back? In 2 Corinthians God says that the "love of Christ" controls the Christian life, and that love is sacrificial, more than we could ever give. Join us this week as Pastor BJ unpacks how we live for God's glory with our lives.

View Details

At AOC, we want you to meet, know, and follow Jesus. But if you are a follower of Jesus, then what are you to do now? What does following Jesus look like? This week Pastor Brandon digs into Jesus’s mission for the church and how we are to develop disciples of all generations.

View Details

Sometimes its assumed that being "All in" for Jesus means that we're just doing all of the things that we think we should. But what if, in doing all of these things, we actually start to forget our purpose? What if we just start running on autopilot? What if our heart isn't really in it? This week we're looking at Jesus's message to the Ephesian church to remind us that the core of our faith has always been being loved by Jesus and then living out his love for others.

View Details

Here at Austin Oaks Church, we believe that God has given us a mission to fulfill that's much bigger than anything we can do on our own. This week Pastor Brandon explains what we believe God has created us to do, and also how we plan on accomplishing it--though we are small and insignificant in ourselves, we serve a great God who empowers us to do His will!

View Details

Pastor Brandon Zieske kicks off our new series "All In" with a look at the apostle Paul's testimony of what it means to follow Jesus. He didn't shy away from using some pretty strong metaphors in his day to describe what it is like to live as a follower of Christ, but he also promised that Jesus will reign victorious. Are you all in?

View Details

Sometimes it sneaks up on you little by little until you feel like an entirely different person. Other times its a fog you just can't seem to get away from. The church hasn't always been very good at addressing issues of anxiety and depression, but if you search for a bit, the Bible actually has a lot to say about times when we lose hope. This week Pastor Chad takes a candid look at depression; what causes it and how we can deal with it, all while recognizing the complex nature of who we are and what God says about us.

View Details

We all experience guilt in our lives. Sometimes it lies just beneath the surface of our lives, and other times it overflows into whole batch of bad habits and destructive behaviors. So how do we face the things that we've done, or even the things that have been done to us? Join us this week as Pastor Brandon shows us how faith holds on to what God says about us instead of relying on our own sinful tendencies.

View Details

This week marks the first message in our series "I'm (not) okay", a examination of mental health and what the Bible has to say about it. Today Pastor Brandon looks at the origins of shame and our tendency to hide from the things that we are ashamed of that we see in ourselves. If shame is a universal experience that leads us to damage our mental health, then what are we supposed to do with it?

View Details

The parable of the Prodigal Son is one of the most popular in all of the Bible, but what does it really mean to be a Prodigal? Is it right to call God a Prodigal? In what ways does He show us His prodigality? Join us this week as Pastor Brandon dives into this parable to show the depth of God's love for His sons and daughters.

View Details

One of the most foundational practices of the Christian life is prayer. But are we really as excited about prayer as we should be? Does it even do anything? If God already knows everything, then why do I have to pray? This week Pastor Brandon looks at Jesus's teaching on prayer in Luke 11 to see how we ought pray, and even more important, who is it that we are praying to.

View Details

If our purpose as the church is to make disciples, how are we to do that in everyday life? Well, join us this week as JJ Plasencio takes us to the parable of the sower and the seeds, and how it has impacted the way he speaks with others and shares the gospel.

View Details

Pastor Brandon and Pastor Charles begin the message by introducing Africa New Life and what they've been able to accomplish over the past 20 years and what lies in store as Austin Oaks continues its partnership with this life-changing ministry. Pastor Charles then shares about what is most important for the church to have and what our disposition should be toward each other and the world at large.

View Details

Pastor Charles Mugisha of Africa New Life shares the importance of placing Jesus at the center of our lives and how it is vital for us to continue to evaluate all we do in light of what He has done.

View Details

In Luke 9, Jesus makes some bold claims about who He is and what He has come to do. How are we to understand ourselves in light of what He reveals? Does that actually change the way I ought to live my life? Join us this week as Pastor Chad continues our journey through the book of Luke and tackles these issues of identity and priority.

View Details

It's a lot easier to praise God when our life seems to be going the way that we want it to. But what about when hardships come that we didn't plan for? What about when we've done our due-diligence and none of it is our fault, and yet it still feels like the darkness won't lift? How do we worship when we can't see what God is doing through our suffering? This week Pastor Brandon takes a hard look at Job and what God shows us through his story about how we are to worship.

View Details

Is worship something that we usually prepare for, or something we stumble into?  This week Josh looks at Exodus 19 where God shows up in a powerful way, and what it means for us to prepare to come to God in worship.

View Details

This week Pastor Brandon takes us through 2 Chronicles 20 to see how God goes before us even in our worship of Him and the power that is found in giving it offer to Him and following with all we have. We changed things up a bit for this service and participated in congregational worship throughout Pastor Brandon's message. Due to copyrights we're unable to include the music portions here, but the songs we did together were "No One Higher", 'The Stand", "Always", "Strong to Save", "We Exalt Thee", & "Build My Life". If you'd like to watch the service without the music cut out, check out the "Previous Services" section of our website at austinoakschurch.org.

View Details

For the past few weeks we've been looking at what it means to come together in worship from a biblical perspective. This week, Pastor Brandon talks with our worship leaders Seth and Mary Ellen about how we put these truths into practice and what God has been revealing to them about Himself through this series.

View Details

In John 4, Jesus says that God is seeking true worshipers. What does it mean to be a true worshiper, and what does it mean to worship in Spirit and Truth? What does that even look like us for here today? Join us this week as Pastor Brandon unpacks what it means to be a worshiper that the Father is seeking.

View Details

What is worship? Why do we gather together as a church? Isn't it just about me and Jesus? Sometimes it's hard to muster up anything more than just showing up on Sunday mornings, no matter who you are. Join us this week as Pastor Brandon takes his cues from both the Old and New Testaments to explore what it means to worship God corporately and what our response should be when we see God working in clear ways.

View Details

Followers of Jesus are called to listen to Him and do what He says. But the truth is, there are times when we find ourselves doubting what God has called us to do, and even doubting Him altogether. What do we do when we're in the middle of all this doubt? This week Pastor Chad addresses our doubt with a look at John's experience in Luke 7.

View Details

Luke 7 gives us the story of a Roman Centurion who reaches out to Jesus for help, and Jesus's response is amazement. Why is it so important to understand this story and how can we amaze Jesus today? Check out this week's sermon and find out!

View Details

One of the most well known messages that Jesus had preached was the beatitudes. But what does it really mean that we're blessed when we mourn? Are the poor really more blessed than the rich? What does that mean for us here in America? Join us this week as Pastor Chad explains what Jesus meant and how He offers us the best rewards.

View Details

At Austin Oaks Church, we're simply about Jesus. But it's easy to get sidetracked and focus on all of the complexities of life, so let's take this week to recalibrate and repent of those things that aren't about Him. Let's consider our ways, together.

View Details

At AOC, we're simply about Jesus. What does that mean for our church, and what does that mean for our lives? For the next couple of weeks, Pastor Brandon will take us through where we're going as a church and how we can each fulfill God's calling on our lives by looking to Jesus and following after Him.

View Details

This Easter, Pastor Brandon looks at a final story in Luke 5 to show us how our joy is made full because the bridegroom is here. Jesus is Risen!

View Details

This week Josh takes us to a story in Luke 5 where Jesus calls a tax collector to follow him, who then throws a party to tell his friends. What does that have to do with us today? Hear Jesus's heart for sinners as we dive in together!

View Details

The story of the paralytic in Luke 5 gives us a picture of what it looks like to bring people to the feet of Jesus, regardless of the cost. Why is that mindset so important as a Christian, and what is it that Jesus can do for us? Join us this week as Pastor Brandon digs into this story and what it means for us today.

View Details

What was the first thing that Jesus tells Simon Peter it means to be His follower? Will Jesus make him a better person? More successful? And what does it mean for us to be disciples of Jesus today?

View Details

Jesus wasn't just a normal teacher of the Law in His day, it was evident by the way He taught and how others responded to him. This week Pastor Chad takes us through the 2nd half of Luke 4 to see how Jesus's ministry affected others and what it teaches us about His claims.

View Details

This week Pastor Brandon takes us to the start of Jesus' ministry in Luke 4. Is Jesus who the people want Him to be, or is He something different, something more?

View Details

In Luke 4 the Holy Spirit leads Jesus into the wilderness to be tempted by the devil after going 40 days without food. But what does that mean for you and me? Are we supposed to be just like Jesus and tough it out, or is Jesus showing us how to trust God when we don’t have any strength left?

View Details

This week Pastor Chad McCartney looks at humility and repentance from John's ministry in Luke 3 and what it looks like in the life of a Christian.

View Details

Luke 2 is a common Christmas passage because it tells us about the birth of Jesus. It may remind you of the warm glow of a fireplace with presents under the tree or of watching Charlie Brown when you were younger, but is there more to what's going on in the story? Join us as Pastor Brandon looks at this often-quoted chapter to see what Luke is saying for us today.

View Details

Zechariah and Elizabeth served God all of their lives but were still met with some difficult times. But what if God was using their lives to show the world His greater plan? Join us as we look at their story in Luke 1.

View Details

While she was pregnant with Jesus, Mary sang to the Lord and magnified His name. But what does it mean to magnify God? Is it important for us to do today? Join Pastor Brandon as he looks at Luke 1 to find out.

View Details

Throughout our lives, doubt is inevitable. Do we still believe like we once did? What if God calls you to something you never expected? This week, Pastor Brandon is looking at 2 stories of miraculous pregnancies in Luke 1 to see what we can learn about doubt and how it can lead us to God's goodness.

View Details

Pastor Brandon starts us off on our new series through Luke and Acts this year by looking at who Luke was, and what his background shows us about how God works through His people to save the lost.

View Details

View Details

Pastor Chad McCartney shows us how we can take joy knowing what God has promised for us.

View Details

Daniel and the lion’s den is one of the most famous stories in the Bible, one that a lot of people have heard as kids from Sunday school teachers or VeggieTales. This week Pastor Brandon takes a deeper look at this story to see Daniel’s life of character and how we can live like him today.

View Details

This week, Pastor Charles goes to Daniel chapter 3 and the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and the fiery furnace to show how God redeems His people from, through, and by the fire.

View Details

This week Pastor Brandon dives into the story of Daniel and how he and his friends showed their love for God and where they drew the line in response to an evil governmental system.

View Details

What is the Christian response to all of the highs and lows we're faced with in 2020? How do we live in this world without becoming a part of it? This week, Pastor Brandon tackles these difficult issues by looking to our calling as Christians and the opportunities that that God gives us to be salt and light.

View Details

Starting off our new series in the book of Daniel, Pastor Brandon shows how Daniel and his friends were able to hope in God's sovereignty even when they were living in exile under the rule of an evil nation.

View Details

View Details

Welcome to our midweek series about all things politics and voting as a believer in Jesus. Here's a little explanation of what to expect over the next 4 weeks.

View Details

This week Pastor Brandon shares from 2 Corinthians 5 about our motivation and purpose for loving in all circumstances. Jesus has made us alive in Him and reconciled us to God, making each of us a new creation. His love shows us the value of others and propels us to engage with the world from a posture of love.

View Details

We often get entangled in the craziness of life and lose our joy. What does it mean to rejoice in all things? This week Pastor Chad shows us from Philippians 4 how we can anchor our joy on what God has done for us and put our hope in what He's promised to do.

View Details

This week we're tackling everyone's favorite subject: authority and submission! Looking at Ephesians 5-6, Josh uses the context of Paul's letter to the Ephesians to show how a Christlike life humbly seeks to serve others.

View Details

This week Pastor Brandon talks about what it looks like to live as a Christian from Ephesians 5. Spoiler alert: it looks a lot like Jesus.

View Details

View Details

This week Pastor Chad shares with us what it means to be citizens in God's kingdom.

After the message, join us for a special announcement about the future of our church.

View Details
