An ancient proverb says, “If you want to go fast, go alone. But if you want to go far, go together.” Sustaining a lifelong journey of following Jesus is only possible in community. This call goes beyond simply attending church—it invites us into relationships marked by depth, vulnerability, and a shared commitment to transformation.
Read MoreTransformation is possible, but it’s not inevitable. It requires intentional effort on our part. The early Christians understood this, so they embraced what they called a “Rule of Life”—a rhythm of practices, habits, and relationships designed to make space for being with Jesus, becoming like Him, and doing what He did. Crafting our own Rule of Life is an essential step for turning the goal of becoming like Jesus into a reality.
Read MoreA central part of apprenticing under Jesus is learning how to deal with sin. Though the topic can feel uncomfortable, facing the reality of sin—whether committed by us, against us, or around us—is essential for our healing and transformation. This teaching also unpacks confession: the practice of bringing our sin, shame, or hidden struggles into the light with a trusted person, so that we can step into freedom and wholeness.
Read MoreOften, when we begin to practice the spiritual disciplines, the unhealed wounds of a lifetime rise to the surface of our hearts. How we respond to that pain is vital. This teaching explores the three primary ways people deal with pain (deny, detach, or drug), how unhealed pain sabotages transformation, and how God can meet us in pain to bring lasting change.
Read MoreSpiritual disciplines are practices that create space for the Spirit to transform us from the inside out. Today we’ll look at how practicing spiritual disciplines open us up to God to change us at the deepest level.
Read MoreMany of us desire to become more like Jesus, but we feel stuck. We need a training program, a reliable pathway to transformation. We find this in the Way of Jesus, which shows us how to intentionally engage formation.
Read MoreSpiritual formation isn’t a Christian thing or even a religious thing; it’s a human thing. To be human is to grow, mature, and change over time. Formation is simply the process by which our inner person is formed into a particular shape or character. The problem is most of our spiritual formation is unintentional. As a result, we are often “conformed to the pattern of this world,” instead of being transformed into Christlikeness.
Read MoreWho are you following? Everybody is following somebody. Put another way: we’re all disciples. The question isn’t: “Are you a disciple?” But, “who or what are you a disciple of?” In this teaching, John Mark Comer explores what it means to be a disciple or apprentice of Jesus.
Read MoreIn a world marked by brokenness, we all need healing—whether physical, spiritual, emotional, or mental. Throughout the Gospels, we see countless examples of Jesus' compassion and willingness to heal those who came to Him. That same invitation still stands today. On Sunday, Baz Gascoyne encouraged us to reach out to Jesus for the healing we need.
Read MoreLast week, we explored the surprising ways God is moving among young people. On Sunday, we heard a powerful firsthand testimony of someone who is actually experiencing it. Weslie Roberts shared her story of personal transformation as well as the remarkable salvations and healings she witnessed during her six-month mission with YWAM.
Read More“How are you doing?” It’s a question we ask each other every day, but rarely do we actually pause to assess how we’re really doing. In the final part of this series, John Eldredge invites us to notice our internal barometers that tell us if our soul is doing well or poorly, and embrace the simple daily practices that will help us experience the life that Jesus promised us.
Read MoreSadly, most Christians have been given the impression that the sum total of the Christian life is faith, obedience, and service. These are all necessary and good things, but Jesus invites us into something far more thrilling and beautiful -- UNION with Him. In this video teaching, John Eldredge describes the astonishing intimacy that is available with God and the practice of simply loving God which helps make it a daily experience.
