  Thirsty?

  Sep 18, 202639 min

  Gospel of John: Living Waters with Pastor Keith At the Feast of Booths, surrounded by water rituals, Jesus stands up and cries out: "If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink." The soul was made to live on God, and Jesus isn't just offering the living water, he is the water. To believe is simply to come thirsty and drink. And those who do don't just get a single drink, they get the River Maker himself, the Holy Spirit, filling us and overflowing through us into a thirsty world. The only qualification is need. If you're thirsty, come.

  Doubts & Promises

  Sep 18, 202649 min

  Gospel of John: Doubts & Promises with Pastor Keith. It's Passover when Jesus feeds thousands from a boy's small lunch, and the sign points beyond the meal: he doesn't just give bread, he is the Bread of Life. The crowd wants what Jesus can do; Jesus calls them to surrender to who he is. And when the storm comes, he doesn't offer his frightened disciples an explanation, he offers himself: "It is I. Do not be afraid." We don't follow Jesus because he makes life better, but because he is better than life. Where else would we go?

  Reasons to Believe

  Sep 18, 202637 min

  Gospel of John: Reasons to Believe with Pastor Keith. Who is this man? In John 5, Jesus refuses to leave his identity to public opinion and simply tells us who he is: he is God, he gives life, and he is worthy of our trust. The question isn't whether we know things about Jesus, but whether we'll actually entrust our lives to him. Come to him, and have life.

  On the Road

  Aug 21, 202647 min

  The road never changed, but the travelers did. In this teaching, Brett walks us through Luke 24 and the story of two disciples heading home from Jerusalem, sad, disappointed, and hung up on the crucifixion, unable to move toward the joy of the resurrection even after the tomb was found empty. Then a stranger draws near. Brett draws out three simple, steadying truths for anyone clouded by disappointment: Jesus walks with you, joining us on the hard road not always to remove the difficulty but to offer his presence, as he did with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fire; Jesus listens to you, unhurried and uninterrupting, inviting us to come as we are and pour out our honest hearts the way David does across the Psalms; and Jesus reveals himself to you, not through a shortcut but through the Scriptures and, finally, in the breaking of bread. When their eyes are opened and they recognize him, the disciples ask, "did not our hearts burn within us while he talked with us on the road?" This is an invitation to let Jesus walk your road, to be authentic with him, and to ask whether your heart is still burning, because following Jesus isn't ultimately about information but about knowing a person.

  Dining with Friends

  Aug 9, 202645 min

  The last thing Jesus did before his death wasn't leave an instruction manual, it was share a meal. In this teaching, given while much of the staff was in Kenya serving with Remember Nhu, Kelsey and Garrison bring their own dining room table on stage and walk the congregation through a full Passover Seder to help us hear Jesus' words at the Last Supper the way his disciples would have. Moving cup by cup and element by element, from the salty herbs of oppression to the unleavened bread of trust, from the bitter herbs to the lamb, they trace four truths at the heart of the gospel: God sees you wherever you are, God loves you, God has adopted you as his own, and God dwells in you. Along the way Jesus keeps going "off script," washing feet a rabbi would never wash, calling the bread his body and the cup his blood, and giving the ancient festival a new and cosmic meaning. The blood on the doorposts was a declaration of belonging, and if Jesus is the new Passover Lamb, then sin and death have no claim on those adopted into God's family. We are now the temple, the dwelling place of God. This is an invitation to let that truth sink past head knowledge into the core of our being, so that, like the International Worker who looked at armed soldiers and said "they are just boys, they do not know what they are doing," we come to see the world with the same eyes as Jesus, loving it despite its brokenness.
