You Have Heard It Said
God isn't after the image of generosity... God is after the heart. Jesus didn't lower the bar... he moved it to the heart.

God Gives First
Every single one of us is a generous person. The question is what we are being generous toward, and why.
Speak Life Over Your City
A generation missed the Promised Land grumbling in the wilderness. The blessing of the upright lifts a city. What are we speaking over ours?
In the Meantime
Some seasons feel like waiting. Some feel like too much. Either way, the meantime is not a pause in the life of faith.
Every Creature Says Amen
Amen is a word we say often, and we don't consider its meaning. At the end of Revelation 5, every creature in heaven and on earth says it.
One Hundred Million Angels
A hundred million angels hand the Lamb a list of seven... power, wealth, wisdom, strength, honor, glory, praise. We spend all seven every week.
A New Song
Harps in their hands. Golden bowls full of prayers. A new song for the Lamb who was slain... a song heaven had never sung before.
The Lion Is the Lamb
"Do not weep." John hears that the Lion of Judah has triumphed. He turns to look... and sees a Lamb, standing as though slain.
The Scroll and the Tears
A scroll in God's right hand, sealed shut. A search through all creation. No one is found... and John weeps. This week we stay there.
Crowns Down
In Revelation 4, twenty-four elders wear crowns God gave them... and still throw them down. This week asks: what's on your head?
The Throne Is Not Empty
Week one of Worthy. John steps through an open door expecting a timeline... and sees a throne instead. It's not empty, and mercy circles it all the way around. Four creatures with the best view in the universe sing one line, day and night, and never get tired of it. So the question isn't why anyone would sing the same words over and over... it's what you'd have to be looking at to want to.
The Life That Is Truly Life
Martha had Jesus in her own house... and missed him, distracted by all the preparations that had to be made. Most of us know exactly how she felt. In this message, Pastor Jason returns to Practicing the Way with a fresh word for a new season: we are all following someone or something, and we are all being formed into someone... the only question is who. Willpower can't change us, more information can't change us, and God rarely zaps us... transformation comes as we arrange our lives around the practices and rhythms of Jesus himself, to be with Jesus, become like Jesus, and do what Jesus did. The message ends with an invitation to an eight-week discipleship group launching this September. The good way is still there at the crossroads... will we walk in it?
