What of prioritizing the first day of the week had the potential to make you feel more alive than ever? Jesus rose from, the dead on a Sunday almost 2,000 years ago, and people around the world have been gathering on Sundays ever since. It's not just a tradition. We believe it can make you less distracted, less exhausted, and less lonely.

Church shouldn't be boring. And, the book of the Acts is proof of that. In every generation of the church, people have rediscovered the story of the early church as it's told in the book of Acts—and it has set the church on fire. In a cultural moment where the church is in decline, we want to read the book of Acts page by page and highlight moments that have the potential to renew the church in our time. We don't just want to read stories from Acts, we want to live them. If that's what you want and you're just curious about faith, join us for Season 4 of Highlights from Acts.

Is there anything in your life that's off-limits from Jesus? If Jesus is Lord, “there is not one square inch over the whole domain of our human existence,” Dutch theologian Abraham Kuyper says, “over which Christ … does not cry, mine.” In our 2026 Vision Teaching Series, we're going to explore how Jesus is Lord over every aspect of our lives—including every minute, dollar, person, inch, word, and calling.

Why do we hang Christmas lights? It's a lot of work—risking our lives on ladders, braving the cold, and untying knotted up lights—but that doesn't stop you. As the days get shorter, it's something you can do to bring light to the darkness. When one writer described the arrival of Jesus at Christmas, that's what he said about Jesus: “The true light that gives light to everyone was coming into the world.” On Sundays in December, you're invited to join us as we explore how Jesus lights up your life, your relationships, and your whole neighborhood even better than the best Christmas light display.

In a cultural moment when you might be getting tired of trying to blaze your own trail, Jesus is inviting you to follow him on a well-worn, ancient path to the life you're made for. As Jesus says, “I'm the way, the truth, and the life.” It's a narrow and challenging path, but he says that, if you walk with him, you'll find that his “burden is light.” In this four-part teaching series, we're inviting you to follow Jesus along the pathway to faith, power, change, and purpose in a community of other people who want to do the same.
