How can two walk together unless they agree? In a time when we are quick to drop people who don't agree with us or value our opinion and quick to quit prematurely, the Lord is calling us to dismantle disagreement and do the work that's required to remain aligned with one another and with God. When we are linked and aligned, our loyalty helps us walk together. Join us as we continue the Loyal series and Pastor Jules speaks on the necessity of walking alongside one another and with Jesus.

Stop Browsing and Start Building
Do we have the loyalty to build something? God calls us not to be browsers but builders. We need to stop thinking something better will come along and constantly try different options. What if God is calling us to follow Him? Can we remain loyal even if we don't see what He's promised? God doesn't stop being loyal to who He is, and He is inviting us to come deeper even when we fall short. Join us as we continue the Loyal series and Pastor Jules speaks on how God will not stop being loyal to us, looking for those who are loyal to Him.

Led by the Light

How do we know if an interruption in our life is divine or not, and how do we respond if it is from God? There is an onramp to the will of God, and we must be able to see the signs to adjust our turns accordingly. When we come to the conclusion that this shift is from God, we must accept the season we are in and inform others. Join us as we continue The Light series and Pastor Jules uses the example of how Mary responds favorably to God's interruption, to illustrate how we can recognize divine interruption, receive, obey, and invite others to journey with us.

Invitation by Illumination

Just because one has knowledge of Jesus, doesn't mean they have experienced him. Jesus is the light, and we can either live in the light or resist it. We need to ask ourselves what is formless and void in our lives-- the areas in our lives that need to be redeemed, because wherever we resist the light, we invite darkness. Join us as we begin The Light series, coinciding with the Advent season, and Pastor Jules delivers a word on the necessity of light in all areas of our lives.

When we are betrayed by someone, it creates trauma in our soul. We live loosely connected, near but not involved, and surrounded but not engaged. Jesus never stops reaching for us, so how can we position ourselves as followers of Christ and continue to reach even if we've been hurt by people? How do we borrow from God and live with faith rather than borrow from our past and transfer our pain onto others? Join us as we wrap up our Fear No Evil series and Pastor Jules speaks on how to handle offense in our life.

The inability to manage our tiredness can lead to sabotage. When and where we rest determines the rest of our lives. Just as Samson turned to distraction as a replacement for companionship and as a result found himself robbed of his anointing, there are things that we think provide rest but actually makes us exhausted and unfit to make ethical decisions. Whatever is pulling you away from God, needs a reset. Join us as we conclude our Sabotage series and Pastor Jules speaks of true rest.

How was Paul filled with joy when he was imprisoned? He preached that whether he lives or dies, Christ will be exalted and that is why he rejoices. Either in deficit or surplus, God wins. Even when you feel stuck in a proverbial prison, God is still working. The question is, are we so fixated on where we want to be that we can't see what's right in front of us and how God can use that? Rather than pitying himself and longing to do God's work outside the prison walls, Paul uses his chains to glorify God and bring people to salvation. Join us in Week 5 of our Work in Progress series as Pastor Jules talks about how we can find joy in the midst of feeling stuck.

Sometimes in the waiting, we wait the wrong way. We stew in our dissatisfaction and dysfunction, making excuses, waiting for others, and blaming others.

Our culture suffers from an addiction to perfectionism. Nothing is good enough, and as we focus on our lack, we lose joy in the process of attaining perfection. The truth is that a perfect life stands the test of trials; it is not void of trials. We are to put our hope in not what we have, but in who God is. Join us as we continue our Work in Progress series and Pastor Jules breaks down what perfectionism is, what it does, and what the remedy is.

What happens when we re-align our actions and thoughts to God's truth? We are reborn and raised. One of the greatest areas of attack is the mind. That is where the enemy whispers his lies, deceit, and temptations. Sometimes he doesn't even have to do much but sit back and watch the lingering effects of trauma become strongholds in our minds. How do we resist the thoughts that are in conflict with God's truth?

God works in our lives aligning things to bring us closer, simultaneously unlocking the things that have had us bound. But there are doors we keep closed, that God meant to be left open-- doors that allow God and others access to our lives. Maybe God wants to do a work in your heart now. Will you allow him access to those painful areas; will you surrender to his Master plan?

Join us for our Easter Sunday service as we close out our For the One series and Pastor Jules speaks on the Door that only God could open, that leads to freedom and eternal life.

Have you ever had to do something you didn’t want to do? Like never before, we are free to live without any obligation, and we avoid it at all costs. We are in a pandemic of commitment. But sometimes we have to stop and ask ourselves: Is it a painful obligation or a divine invitation? What starts off as an obligation can be changed based on our interpretation. If God is the initiator, it’s not another obligation but rather an invitation. Disappointment may have skewed our perspective to view obligations as pain without gain, but it very well could be God's invitation to walk through a breakthrough. Join us as we continue the For the One series and Pastor Jules speaks on the power of God's invitation and our testimony.

What stops us from opening the door that Jesus stands at? What does God want to remove from our lives and replace it with? What have we been holding onto that's been robbing us from the great exchange? God can take our pain and trauma and redeem it. He invites us into His life and out of our pain. He calls us to do the same for others. We get the humble opportunity to say, God has something for you in your life. Maybe you're the one God wants to use to knock on other people's doors.

For the One That Doesn't Belong

If a man has 100 sheep and one wanders off, wouldn't he go look for the one? We, as a church, are called to go look for the one and bring them back to their place at the table. Jesus ate with people who didn't belong and was always extending the table for everyone. Who is "the one" in your life that you can invite and pull out a chair for at the table?

Join us as we begin our new series, "For the One", and Pastor Jules speaks on creating a space of belonging in the church and what the benefits of being in the house are.

Building Faith (There's a Place for Everything)

Minimizing hurt, displacing trauma, removing the possibility of God, and dismissing truth in order to keep what makes us happy. What do these things have in common? We've all done this when we don't know where to bring our hurt and facts, when we get overwhelmed and don't know what to do with it. As a result, our faith breaks down. In a journey of believing God, it is a choice to bring our trauma and ideas to the Lord and allow Him to walk with us through the grief. Then it is our faith that creates realities aligned with the Kingdom and not our pain that dictates our walk. How do we build our faith in a world of deconstruction?

Join us as we close out our "Not by Sight" series with a word from Pastor Jules about putting trauma, pain, and ideas in their rightful place in order to build our faith

We falsely think we can get what we want from God when we fulfill an arbitrary action the way kids think they can get anything with a "please".

Moses met with God in order to lead the people. He moved up and down the mountain to maintain relationships with both God and people. God wants us to meet with Him - we don't have to rely on others to hear God for us. He also wants us to forge relationships that strengthen over seasons and circumstances. Relationships aren't meant to be static but elastic. We all change. Being aware and able to adjust accordingly helps us to live a fulfilling life in Jesus. Join us at TFH Oakland as we continue our Flagged series and Pastor Jules talks about relationships.

We need to flag the way we communicate if we want to bear the name of Jesus in our lives. Our words, both spoken and typed, reveal if we work with God or against Him.

Flagged: Half Truths

We'd often rather cancel our past and keep things hidden than bring our past with us and be upfront about who we are. The danger of that is feeding the people around us a partial truth, a lie, an identity that we've created for ourselves, which ultimately leads to isolation from others and from God. What God desires for us is to reconcile with our past in order to reconcile our identity. How do we unpack our past in a way that's healthy, happy, and holy? Join us as we begin our new Flagged series and Pastor Jules takes a look at the life of Moses as he speaks on the truth about half truths.

The fear (reverence, awe, acknowledgement) of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom (Prov. 9:10), but the fears of the world will unravel you.

In a flurry of ideals and expectations, it's easy to fall prey to fretting over how we appear before others, just as the Pharisees fixated on the outside and forgot what's inside. Jesus challenged the Pharisees' expectations because he knew that what mattered was being centered on God's approval alone. Is there anything in your life that has stolen your attention from God?

The lineage of Jesus was not a string of perfect people but rather a genealogy of broken and obscure individuals. The beginnings of Jesus was not a place of luxury or favor but rather isolation and poverty. So have hope that if God brought the Prince of Peace and Lord of Lords from such humble circumstances that He can use you no matter where you are. Don't give up but press in; God is with you and He goes before you. Who has God called you to go to who might be feeling forgotten?

Mary and Joseph were two ordinary people who made history as the parents of Jesus because of their willingness to be available. God creates a purpose and finds a person who has the qualifications but may not even realize it yet. Make yourself available to God to become what He's called you to be. Humility is the key.

Pursuit of Possessions vs. His Presence

The way we view money reveals where we place our attention and affections. Do we keep it neatly separated from God, do we pursue it as if it were our god, or do we give God access to our finances? This is important to determine because it involves our identity. Wherever our passions go, our identity goes. Do you invest for the here and now or for eternity? Jesus commands us to store our treasures up in Heaven, but how do we do this? One way is to serve those who cannot pay us back and see lives transformed, but first we must yield our resources to God and respond to His invitation by showing up. Good intentions are not enough. When we give to those who cannot pay us back, it is not an inconvenience but an investment and a fulfilled life.

Where do you get your confidence from? Watch for when you are shaken and doubt the goodness of God. In Romans, it says that nothing can separate us from the love of Christ, but it can separate us if we allow it to. When physical things separate you from God's love, it's time to check where your confidence lies. If your confidence comes from your position in Christ that God is with you and for you, your faith will increase in times of shaking. Join us as we continue our One Thing series and Pastor Jules preaches on how we can get our confidence back, how we can step into position and connect with a God who gives us peace in every circumstance.

In an era when America has created an idol out of all of us, it is important more than ever to take God, our One Thing, into everything we do. This is worship. There has been a crisis of order, an inability to put the right love in its rightful place, and as a result, there has been chaos as our worship has become divided.

One Thing

In Psalms, David sings of the One Thing he desires, which is to dwell in the presence of God. What does that look like as we go to work and live our everyday lives? What happens when we say yes to the One Thing and put it over everything else? Heavenly alignment. Something divine and dangerous. A life of worship that is calling to us.

When we get offended, what is our first reaction? We typically react the way we’ve been raised rather than the way we’ve been saved. And as a result, relationships suffer and can even become severed. What God wants when we are offended, is restoration the way He restored us to Him. Join us as we continue our Hood Series and Pastor Jules speaks on the scandal of falling for offense versus doing it God’s way of confronting and bringing it forth to Him.

The disciples argued over who among them was the greatest when Jesus corrected them. Don't we do the same thing? We create our own ideas of what being great looks like and disregard the opinion of God. We step over what's important to Him and as a result, we find that something's missing from our lives. Have you been so ambitious that you lost sight of what is important? Ambition without God's vision and values, will always leave someone or something missing from our lives. But there is always hope. We can still pause, step back, and bring these things to the Lord and find fulfillment in what He has for us. Join us as we continue our Hood series and Pastor Jules speaks on the necessity of designing our lives by the truths and principles of God.

We are looking for more than a religion or lifestyle but an encounter that will change us forever. Zaccheus experienced this when he encountered Jesus-- when Jesus stopped just for him and went to his house. As Zaccheus opened up his home and life to Jesus, as Jesus sat across from him within arm's reach, his brokenness and sin transformed into generosity and compassion that filled his home. Who is that person that God has placed on your heart to pray for or to extend an invitation? Or are you waiting for that invitation from Him to receive a visitation? Join us as we continue our Hood series and Pastor Jules speaks on the power of a house transformed.

When Jesus returned to his hometown as the Messiah, the people were too familiar with him and saw only his past. This kept them from coming to Jesus and seeing him for who he truly was. They missed out. God is calling you to go back to your spiritual hometown-- not to relive the pain and trauma, but as those redeemed and made new, to bring light and hope and to expose the love of Christ to the hurting. Don't allow others' unbelief to hinder your belief. Don't hide and rob people of hope and let them keep thinking they know Jesus when really, they are waiting to meet him. Join us as we begin our HOOD series and Pastor Jules preaches on how we can reach one life at a time, one house at a time, one block at a time, and transform our city with the love of God.

Jesus confronts religious leaders in their hypocrisy and legalism. They were so concerned about how they appeared that they never dealt with their heart. They felt they had the right to judge others and as a result, stood in the way of people truly looking for Jesus. Sound familiar? If you are overly concerned with how others see you or don't even care, it is a sign that there are wounds and areas in your life that have not been touched by the resurrection of Jesus.

If you find yourself lying on a mat, paralyzed by a tormenting that has crippled you, remember the story of the paralyzed man who was brought to Jesus by his faith-filled friends.

In the parable of the shepherd, he leaves the 99 to find the one lost sheep and rejoices when he finds it. Are we searching for the missing sheep like that shepherd, with an urgency that comes from knowing how valuable that one sheep is? Or are we searching for only what benefits us and have become numb to the needs around us? Perhaps we once had a heart to serve and seek the lost but were hurt and disappointed in the process. Don't let the pain of your past get you stuck. Or do you think that you have everything figured out and you're content with where you're at spiritually? Don't let entitlement keep you from the things God has for you. Continue to search alongside Jesus and experience the thrill of finding what was once lost because "there's more joy in heaven over one sinner's rescued life than over ninety-nine good people in no need of rescue."

Our faith gets tested when we begin to worry. We think we're adding to our lives by worrying, but we are actually subtracting from our lives. How much does worry steal your attention and time? Worry withers our trust in God and His provision. It robs us of what we can do in that moment. Jesus directs us to look at how the flowers grow, to turn our attention to God's attention to us. Join us as we close our Experiment Series and Pastor Jules speaks on both the disadvantages and advantages of worry.

During a time of heightened racial and political tension, it is easy to take sides or to feel like you have to. In the Book of Acts, God reveals to Peter a vision of what the church is to look like, a vision that breaks traditional ideologies and customs of not associating with anyone who wasn't Jewish. But Peter obeys God and takes a step towards a flagless church that does not wave for any one race but for all. We are not called to fight against one another but to fight for one another regardless of race, class, gender, sexuality, or party. Join us as we continue our Fight Series and Pastor Jules speaks about picking the no-team team.

What is keeping you from plugging into your church community? God created us for relationships; there's no way around it, yet we have tried to skirt our need for others by putting up walls. We pretend that all we need is God, we try to impress others by showing a certain side of us rather than the whole authentic us, we go on the defense, and take an interest only in ourselves. Join us today as Pastor Jules continues the Degrees series and talks about living in community and what that means.

What is worthwhile and what is wasted? We are often quick to judge accidents and things gone wrong as wasted time. We are often quick to judge people in moments of derailment rather than as opportunities for God's grace and love. In the story of Mary breaking the alabaster jar of expensive perfume and pouring it out onto Jesus' head, what everyone saw as wasteful, Jesus highlighted this bold move as a beautiful act of worship. Anything that has been given to God and might have been thought to be lost- your time, your resources, is never wasted but remembered and worthwhile in His Kingdom. Do not hold back but give generously, knowing this Kingdom truth. Join us as we continue our Degrees series and Pastor Jules speaks on the eternal rewards of generosity.

If you're living in a fog of uncertainty and feeling overwhelmed, it might be time to check your boundaries because allowing our boundaries to be bent and broken, not knowing what to say no to, will cause us to say yes to the wrong things. It is a constant battle living in a world that teaches the opposite of what the Lord does, but when we step up and say no to the things that need to be kept out-- the way Daniel and his friends rejected the unclean food of the Babyolnians, we can have a clarity that withstands changing conditions. We can have a vision that provides a sense of firm direction that cannot be unhinged by circumstances. Join us as we continue our Degrees series, and Pastor Jules speaks on the strength and freeing nature of clarity, as well as a practical way to achieve it.

Deep in our hearts, we seek an unshakeable joy that withstands all circumstances. The easiest way seems to pursue our passions and all that looks good, but the consequence of running after idols is a sadistic cycle of dissatisfaction. Apart from God, there is no good thing. Join us as we begin our Degrees series, and Pastor Jules speaks on the wisdom of pursuing "Third Degree Joy" and recognizing what God already has for us-- boundaries that fall in pleasant places and an inheritance set aside for us.

As Christians, we know what it looks like to be a good Christian. But as Jesus asked, what good is it to clean the outside of the cup if the inside is dirty? The Pharisees cared more about their outer appearance and how the world perceived them rather than bearing good fruit in their lives. What we are able to produce in our lives is a counterfeit of the real thing, which only God can produce. Join us today as leaders Corey and Courtney share their testimony of how they went from trying to live a life of performance depending on their talents and titles but still being broken, to being made whole by abiding in Christ who bears good fruit.

With the right kind of support, plants thrive and bear fruit. Do you feel stuck or as if your growth has been stunted? There was a man who lay paralyzed and was healed because of the friends he had-- friends who carried him to see Jesus and ripped a hole through the roof to get to him, in a house that was overflowing with people. We need family and community, we need consistent encounters with God and His love, but did you know that we can also fulfill our needs by serving others? We need to be able to be both kinds of people according to the season we are in- to ask for support and to provide the right kind of support. Join us as we continue the Fruit Series and Pastor Jules speaks on the requirement of support if we are to grow and bear fruit.

Fruitility

What are you expecting from God? If you are expecting miracles but not seeing fruit in your own life, it might be a sign that there are areas that need to be pruned-- areas that are hindering the flow of growth. It could be that we are putting our energy into the wrong things, quitting prematurely, or not confronting the compromise in our lives. Whatever it is, God is calling us to a fruit bearing life. Join us as we continue our Fruit Series and Pastor Jules speaks on the necessity of cursing the fruitless areas in our lives in order to see them replaced with places of abundance and growth.

One thing that we see plenty of is complaining. In the story of Miriam, we notice how she begins with a heart of praise but eventually gets caught up in a culture of comparison and complaining. The consequence is leprosy and a place outside of the community. Don't let yourself fall into the pattern of complaining because it will hinder you from moving forward into the plans God has for you, but keep your song no matter what and declare who God is in the midst of adversity. Join us as we close our Come Hell and High Waters series and Pastor Jules speaks on the pitfalls of complaining and the power of praise.

You are significant. What you do and don't do matter-- even the smallest decisions you make, so it makes a difference of who or what informs our actions. What would it look like to extend our reach to the things that align with God and not allow critique or crisis to stop us from moving forward? Jesus was berated by religious leaders for picking wheat and healing a man on the Sabbath, but it did not stop him from doing the will of God. Join us as we continue our Come Hell or High Waters and Pastor Jules speaks on the importance of knowing what voices to listen to and which ones to dismiss as we step into the life He calls us to live out.

You Can't Cancel

We do not serve a God we can control. So when we walk through hell or high waters, do we still walk with a God whose plans we might not understand, trusting in who He is? Or do we walk away offended, looking for comfort and familiarity in something else? Join us as we begin the Hell or High Waters series and Pastor Jules preaches on what it means to truly follow Jesus in surrender.

How many of us have felt this way- that we are barely making it by the skin of our teeth. This might be a sign that we are trying to do life on our own, which God did not intend for us. What He intends is for us to live in community, in family, with people who love us enough to bear our burdens and whose burdens we can help bear. Join us as we continue our FMLY series and Pastor Jules preaches on the beauty of bearing one another's burdens and the power of vulnerability.

Walking in relationship with others is an art that Jesus exemplified on earth. It might be tempting to rush a relationship, end a relationship prematurely, or sustain one that shouldn't be sustained. What God teaches us is that relationships take time, require us to grow and change, and demand maintenance if it is worth it. Join us as we continue our FMLY series and Pastor Jules speaks on the seasons of relationships and how to walk effectively in community.

Just as an open wound can never heal unless it is properly stitched up, a broken relationship cannot be restored unless there is closure. Closure isn't just in romantic relationships but is in the loss of someone and unforeseen tragedies. It's the act of engaging in resolution or resolve no matter how painful. Too often do we refuse to initiate closure, unaware of the damage that this can cause. When we are unwilling to initiate the closure we want or deserve, we limit our closeness with God and those we do life with. As we see in the story of Joseph, we witness the most divine version of closure as he draws his brothers close to forgive them because of the wisdom that there was a higher purpose to their betrayal. Join us as Pastor Jules continues the FMLY series and talks about the reasons why we wait for others to initiate closure instead of being the mature one to pursue it, as well as the different levels of trust a restored relationship can achieve.

Though we know firsthand the impact of other's words, we are careless with our own. In the book of James, we read about the power of the tongue and how it can steer the course of our lives. So many of us want to be influencers but don't take responsibility for the influence we have. God is urging us to cut ties to words of death that have been spoken over us and tether us to our past by replacing them with His words of life. When we take those toxic words and use them to go deeper into God's truth of who we are, we can move forward in community with Him and with others and break the cycle of careless, destructive words. Join us as we continue the FMLY series with Pastor Jules and reflect on the power and potential of words.

When living in community, a certain fear arises- How honest or close can I be? Will I be understood? God's intention is to bring freedom in our lives, but we often lock ourselves in the room with the very thing we think we are running away from. Fear distances us from God and from others by creating shame and an instinct to cover ourselves up. What God wants to do is reveal the broken places in our lives that cause fear- not to bring shame, but to bring healing. He gives us His perfect love that casts out all fear and brings community, a safe place for authenticity, so that we don't have to go through life alone. Join us as we begin our FMLY series with Pastor Jules and talk about the need for God's perfect love and community to break through the fears we've allowed to dictate our lives.

In a culture that emphasizes results as a sign of success, there is a tendency to to get into a frenzy to keep going and going. It is God's design for us to STOP in order to recover, evaluate, and catch what God has for us. Also, when we stop, we are able to step back and enjoy what we've created and worked on, the way God set aside the Sabbath day to enjoy all that He had created. Join us as Pastor Jules continues the Start Stop Repeat series and speaks on why it's crucial we learn to stop in a world that is spinning out of control.

As we begin the new year, we get excited at the chance to begin a new and start what we might've failed to do in the last year. As Jesus exemplified when he got baptized and received His Father's blessing, we must know who we are before stepping into our call. When we don't know who God is and who we are to Him, it is easy to compromise the perfect promises He has for us. When we doubt God and move forward anyway, when we take His gifts prematurely, when we reduce His standards, and when we downgrade who we are, we miss out on His good and perfect gifts. Don't settle for the convenient but be confident of how He's created you. Join us as Pastor Jules begins the series Start Stop Repeat and preaches on the necessity of clarity before the call.

The Journey, Part 2. God working on the Inside.The journey can feel long and mundane- the opposite of what we expect a God-filled life to be. What we see in the journey Joseph and Mary took to Bethlehem though, is that God fulfills His promises within our normal. As the couple simply obeyed the decree made by Caesar Augustus, God bent all of earth and humanity to welcome the Messiah and fulfill prophecies that had been made hundreds of years ago. God does the same for you- He goes out of His way to set things up for the Prince of Peace to show up in the midst of your routine. Will you position yourself to receive the Shalom He has for you?

Sometimes it's hard to know a good thing when we see and even harder to know when God is up to something. God rarely if ever shows up the way we expect. Our interpretation is key so we don't miss when God is telling to stay, move, lead, quit, or hustle. When God is involved, He can breathe life into dead situations.

Life under quarantine is nothing to laugh at, but we should ask ourselves some questions. Is this the judgment of God, is this the end, what do we do now?

We all want community but sometimes we believe lies about the community that robs us of fulfilling our purpose in Jesus. The church isn't just a building, it's a community of people that are called out and called together. God put's a big emphasis on people and so should we. Is church another gathering, it's just a social club, or was meant to be so much more?

Tiny living is a series about reducing the clutter in relationships and pursuing a simple life-giving community, whether family, marriage, friendships or romance.

Tiny Living helps us to get back to what life with God and others should look like.

Jesus models while in the midst of pain that God can use pain to reach people and still live a fulfilled life. You either put purpose to our pain or pain will repurpose you.

Join TFH as we unpack how to live a stress-free life no matter what area code you come from or live in.
