All of us are born into a nuclear family, but those who have put their faith in Jesus are born again into a new family. Join us as we discuss one of Jesus’ most subversive statements yet, “For whoever does the will of God, he is my brother and sister and mother.”

We’re too busy to gather. We must work, raise kids, travel, and participate in youth sports. We have birthdays, baby showers, and weddings to attend. And yet we are confronted by a sacred text that reminds us that in order to be stirred up, we have to prioritize being with one another.

In a noisy, busy, overstimulated world, Jesus invites us to be deeply formed in the quiet and lonely places of prayer.

Producing the kind of fruit that glorifies God can see overwhelming and like a lot of work. But the key to spiritual growth is not simply to try harder, but to stay connected to the vine. Join us as look ahead to 2025 and answer the question, how can we bear much fruit?

Christmas promises 'peace on earth,' but why does peace still seem so elusive? What if the peace we long for isn’t the peace we truly need? In this message, we look at the one Isaiah called “The Prince of Peace” and uncover a truth that is far deeper, more uncomfortable, and more life-changing than you might expect.

The prophet Isaiah says this child to be born, the Messiah, will be named the Everlasting Father. In this message, we will reflect on how Jesus perfectly reveals the character and qualities of our Heavenly Father.

The prophet Isaiah makes this daring claim about a human baby boy to be born is Mighty God. This idea that Mighty God would ever stoop so low, and be human, is not only unthinkable but offensive! This is why the religions who do not believe that Jesus is God reject Him. And yet all this time on earth, Jesus did things that only Mighty God could do – control the forces of nature, command evil spirits, forgive sins, and raise the dead. In this message, we will reflect on how this truth could change your perspective about Christmas and the missional implications of the advent.

The devil took Jesus to a high mountain and tempted him with the kingdoms of this world. That same temptation exists for the church today. Join us as Pastor Philip gives a post-election exhortation to the church living in light of Babylon.

This sermon exposes how fear often drives our political loyalties, asking if we’re willing to let Christ, not fear, lead our lives. Jesus’ response to political traps reveals a different kind of kingdom—one where sacrificial love and faith replace anxiety and division. In a world gripped by fear, we’re invited to find true peace and courage under the eternal rule of our King.

Join us in our second installment of "Beyond the Ballot" with our guest speaker from Living Stones church!

In Galatia, the church was bewitched by the powers of legalism. In Colossae, the church was in danger of being taken captive by philosophy and empty deceit. In America, the church faces similar dangers, including being seduced by political powers and ideological principalities. Join us as we seek to warn the church, expose the powers, and live our lives loyal to Christ and His kingdom.

Rethinking the great commission. In a culture promising self-renewal and endless autonomy, and supposed happiness. the Great Commission of Matthew 28 cuts through the noise with a disruptive call: “Go.” Are we willing to move beyond cultural illusions and join God in His mission to renew all things, and give the world a better narrative we all desperately need?

In Acts 17, Paul models what it looks like to contextualize the culture and engage the city in mission thoughtfully and persuasively. Join us as we look to Paul’s missionary approach in the Pagan city of Athens to equip us on our missionary approach in the post-modern, post-Christian Bay Area.

Have you ever asked someone, “Where do you go to church” or “Will you be at church tomorrow?” Though we’ve all done it before, this grammar reveals a misconception regarding the nature of the church. Join us as we learn to see the church as a people sent and not “a place where.”

In a culture obsessed with self-optimization and comfort, the Holy Spirit calls us to something radically different—sacrificial mission. The Spirit’s work isn’t about making you feel good; it’s about empowering you to live a life that looks more like Jesus, full of risk, discomfort, and love for the outsider, and brings radical renewal! Are you ready for that kind of life?

Paraphrasing John 1:14, Eugene Peterson said, “The Word became flesh and moved into our neighborhood.” Like Christ, God is calling his church to be a missionary presence in their cities, at their jobs, among their family, friends, co-workers and neighbors. This only happens when believers are committed to going, staying, and being present in the world like Jesus.
