"Are you worshiping the right Jesus? Today we tackle the second commandment and the intriguing concept of our flawed mental images of God. We'll explore how these misconceptions contribute to life's struggles and how embracing the true image of God through Jesus Christ can liberate us. Join us to find out how proper worship can dismantle fear, bitterness, and insecurity."

The first commandment is the greatest commandment of them all. In breaking this commandment, we will inevitably break them all. All evil and injustice come as the result of humanity turning from the one true God and trusting in lesser deities.

Modern culture defines freedom as living without restrictions, but the bible teaches us that freedom is enjoyed most in the presence of restrictions. Join us as we discuss how God’s law can free us to flourish.

One of the most famous parables of Jesus is also one that is often least understood. In the parable of the Lost Son, Jesus challenges everything we think we know about God and ourselves causing us to redefine what it means to be lost and what it takes to be found.

Jesus often graciously confronted sin while radically disrupting the religious status quo. While the religious elite loathed him for associating with sinners, Jesus loved to spend time with those who were far from God. Join us as we define the mission of Christ and reveal the heart of God.

For many their job is just a way to pay the bills, while for others it is a way to find identity and purpose. Due to this we have created a sacred/secular divide to categorize work as something separate from spiritual formation. But the Bible shows us how that is a false dichotomy and how your work is your worship.

Since death is a universal human experience, everyone in the world will at some point in their life have to cope with grief. The question is not if you grieve, but when you grieve, will you grieve in hope? Join us as we discuss death, grief, and the afterlife.

What motivates you most to give? Here in the Bay Area we live in one of the wealthiest regions in the world and yet we are among the least motivated to give. Why are we so greedy? And what will it take for us to become more generous givers?

Are you tired from working and weighed down by heavy burdens? If so, you’re not alone. We live in one of the most workaholic cultures in human history. What is driving us to over perform? And how can we find true rest in the midst of working?

Often tensions become the source of mental and emotional strain, leaving us frustrated, discouraged, and anxious. It is our human tendency to want to avoid them or even resolve them, but sometimes the gospel calls us to embrace them so that we might look more like Christ. Join us as Pastor Roger navigates the tension of grace and truth.

Do you have hope past the grave? No matter how much money, relationship, status , accomplishments we still find ourself empty. Today, we discuss how through Jesus resurrection we have hope beyond the grave.

Come and see the unattractive and unimpressive Savior of the world. Come behold the one whose face was disfigured and the one who was rejected and despised by men. To the world, this is foolishness and offensive, but to those who are called it is the wisdom of God and the power of God.

Does God still use the prophetic in the church today? And if he does use prophecy, how do we know when it’s really God speaking?

Did you know that one word from the Lord can change everything? It can soften hard hearts, change made up minds, and even reroute entire destinies. This is what God does when he speaks his words of knowledge and wisdom through and to the body of Christ. In honor of Grandma Anna
