What does it look like when Jesus transforms lives? This week, we had an interview with Barry & Linda Manson — who encountered Jesus as young hippies and have seen Him intervene in their lives in extraordinary ways: from physical healing to supernatural provision, to learning how to truly rest in the grace of God. Their fascinating story demonstrates God’s faithfulness over four decades of ministry.
Read MoreIn order to overcome the unique challenges that the church faces in our modern age, we must steadfastly practice three "one another’s" that have formed the backbone of church life for 2,000 years. This morning, Todd concludes our church vision series.
Read MoreMany Christians are looking for ways to share their faith. But surprisingly, one of the most missional things we can do is commit to the work of the Holy Spirit to become like Jesus. Our transformation is a compelling demonstration of the truth and power of the Gospel.
Read MoreOur modern society often causes people to feel isolated and lonely, which is why being a part of a healthy community is so important for everyone. The ultimate expression of community is the church — which eradicates the normal social barriers and unites us around Jesus. However, anyone who has ever been part of a church knows that community doesn’t come easy. It requires commitment, sacrifice, and humility. This morning Todd takes a look at why community is so important and how it works at Antioch.
Read MoreThe old adage, “Begin with the end in mind” is a helpful principle for everything, so what is “the end” that we should have in mind as Christians?

Read MoreAll of us, as humans, have a void for identity, We seek it in almost anything we do, and if we don’t let Jesus define it we will put on a lot of false identities. On Sunday, Kalyn looked into Paul’s conversion story on the road to Damascus, and how God gave Paul a new identity.
Read MoreWhen we think of God encounters, we often expect something dramatic or spectacular. But Samuel’s first encounter with God shows how He often comes to us in seemingly ordinary ways. On Sunday, Yin looked at how an ordinary invitation can lead to an extraordinary adventure.
Read MoreOur culture encourages us to pursue our dreams and follow our heart. But when Isaiah encountered God, he was given the opportunity to set aside his own agenda in order to respond to God’s invitation for his life. On Sunday, Lauren explored what it means to surrender our own agenda for our lives and follow God into His calling for our lives.
Read MoreWhen God calls us to something, we can be overwhelmed by our inadequacies. That’s what Moses felt when God spoke to him at the burning bush and instructed him to lead the people of Israel out of bondage in Egypt. But God answered Moses’ fears with the simple promise: “I will be with you.” No matter what God has called you to do, you can rest in the assurance that as long as God is with you, we have all we truly need.

But an unexpected encounter with God led to a new name and a true understanding of his identity. Katrina continues our God Encounters series.
Read MoreWhen we find ourselves in an impossible situation, we long for God to intervene — but God’s intervention often comes in unexpected ways. This is what Joshua discovered on the eve of the Battle of Jericho when he had a surprise encounter with God — and heard His unlikely battle plan for the conquest of the city.
