Matthew 11:25–30
In Matthew 11:25–30, Jesus tells us what His heart is like, and He also tells us where He learned this heart. We do well to learn from Jesus.
Disciples Who Proclaim Jesus Broadly
1 Corinthians 2:1–5
To be a disciple of Jesus is to know Him, follow Him and make Him known. The apostle Paul offers himself as an uncommon "Exhibit A" for how to make Jesus known.
Disciples Who Follow Jesus Completely
John 1:29–51
To be a disciple of Jesus is to know Him and to follow Him, wherever He goes. Where does Jesus go? "Come and see," He says. When you follow Jesus completely, you see heaven and a whole lot more!
Disciples Who Know Jesus Personally
2 Corinthians 5:1–21
To be a disciple of Jesus is to say "Yes" to a personal relationship with Him. When you experience that relationship, you can expect to experience ten (10!) great truths.
Here to Make Disciples
Matthew 4:12–22; 28:16–20
Jesus makes it clear that we are here to make disciples of Jesus. We begin the series with seven ways Jesus impacts a disciple's life, and the last one reveals the great privilege He alone can offer.
Washed in the Blood
We celebrate with Janet Lewis and Marvin Mentor their public declaration that Jesus Christ has gotten ahold of their lives, and they are choosing to follow Him. They've been washed in His blood and are sealed and sheltered by Him. What a glorious day of celebration!

In All the World Bearing Fruit
Colossians 1:3–8
Building on last week's Vision Sunday, we now move into a summer series that will lift our eyes to see how the gospel is bearing fruit around the world. What steps will you take to get the most out of this series?
Vision Sunday: From Here to There, Part 2
1 Peter 2:4–12
This Vision Sunday, the "There" to which the Lord is leading us is one of proclamation, demonstration and incarnation. He's calling us to renew our commitment to being a multiplying movement.
Vision Sunday: From Here to There, Part 1
1 Peter 2:4–12
An important part of knowing where we're going is also knowing where we are! 1 Peter 2 helps guide us from the "Here" of this past year to the "There" we'll look at on Vision Sunday.
Extraordinary/Ordinary - Worship
John 4:1–26
As we wrap up this series of learning how to make the extraordinary good news known through our ordinary lives, we learn what the Father was seeking when He sent the Son (and us!) on mission. And we learn the extent to which He will go to find what He is seeking!
Pentecost Sunday - The Spirit of Adoption
Romans 8:9–30
When the Church celebrates Pentecost the way it celebrates Christmas and Easter, she will truly be the Church! On this Pentecost Sunday, we discover five ways the Holy Spirit makes our adoption as daughters and sons the reality of our lives.
Extraordinary/Ordinary - Disappointment
Matthew 11:2–6
As we are on mission with Jesus, what do we do when the disappointment and discouragement of life seem to outweigh the good news? His response to John the Baptist in Matthew 11 is scandalously good news.
Extraordinary/Ordinary - Righteousness
Matthew 25:31–46
Those who follow Jesus in his extraordinary/ordinary ways, He calls "the righteous." What does that mean? What is "righteousness"? As we will see, righteousness is a major theme of following Jesus and a major theme of what it means to be human!
Extraordinary/Ordinary - Work
John 21:1–14
In John 21, the resurrected Jesus shows up at the workplace for Peter and six other disciples. When Jesus shows up at work, we learn a whole lot about how the extraordinary good news impacts our ordinary (work) lives.
Extraordinary/Ordinary - Presence
John 11:1–44
The pandemic has put the church in danger of losing one of its greatest gifts: the ministry of presence, in which you offer yourself through attentive availability. Through his interaction with Mary and Martha around the death of their beloved brother, Lazarus, Jesus shows us how to recapture this gift.
