In Part 3 of Questions That Change Us, we come to one of the most important questions Jesus asks: “Who do you say I am?” It can be easy to talk about public opinion or what others believe about Jesus, but eventually, the question becomes personal. This isn't about what the crowds say. It's about your response. When you consider Jesus's impact, actions, and claims, you're faced with a decision that cannot be avoided. Who is Jesus to you? How you answer doesn't just shape your beliefs—it has the power to change your life.

In Part 2 of Questions That Change Us, we look at another powerful question Jesus asks: “Do you want to get well?” We may think the answer is an obvious one, but it actually may not be–because this question is about more than physical healing. It's a question about desire, responsibility, and action. Do you truly want to get well? Are you willing to take the next step? Jesus shows us that healing is available, but transformation begins when we honestly answer his question.

In Part 1 of Questions That Change Us, we look at this question Jesus asks: “What do you want?” Jesus already knows the answer, but he encourages us to be honest with ourselves, to reflect on our deepest desires, and bring them before him. This is more than a question—it's an invitation to honesty, courage, and growth. How we answer may not only shape our decisions but who we are becoming.

We often assume purpose requires perfection, while Jesus points to a kind of completeness that comes through growth, not flawlessness.

In a world full of opinions and advice, where do we go when our questions are personal, painful, and unresolved?

People aren't avoiding church because they don't have needs, but because they're unsure church is a safe place to be honest about them.

We take values like human dignity, compassion, and justice for granted today, but they only feel obvious because the church first introduced them.

Christmas marks the arrival of a solution to an unsolvable problem—how to stand before God when obedience isn't good enough.

No one was looking for God to appear in person, yet Jesus came to make the invisible God unmistakably known.

It's common to feel a tug-of-war between inner anxiety and recognizing God's nearness. In this conversation with Andy Stanley and Steve Cuss, we're invited to consider some false needs that may be steering our reactions.

First-century Israel expected a king who would overthrow Rome. Jesus offered a kingdom far bigger—and he had to redefine “Messiah” before they could see it.

This message on legacy uses Paul and Timothy's relationship to show that life is a relay. We all receive and pass a baton through intentionality, practice, and proximity, and our legacy is shaped by who we invest in, what we pass on, and how well we make the handoff.

This message explores how the choices we make today shape the legacy others will remember. Through 2 Timothy, we learn to live from grace, flee what harms us, pursue what matters, choose our battles wisely, and stay faithful.

Week 1 of Legacy explores the legacy you were given. Using Paul's letter to Timothy, we see how faith passed down through others shapes us and how God's grace empowers us to leave a better legacy than what we were given.

We set out to build a church where the convinced and the curious could belong.

It's one thing to trust God when you've lost control; it's another to resist acting like God once you've gained it.

When life goes from bad to worse, will you simply react—or respond as if God is still with you?

Your life isn't defined by what's been done to you, but by how you choose to respond—especially when every instinct says to react.

Part 4Reed Moore00:41:09https://storage.sardius.media/8d5F99Ed22aB004/archives/42298C5

Through Jonah's obedience and Nineveh's repentance, this sermon highlights three core truths: God can use anyone, God can save anyone, and God's grace is for everyone.

Ever felt stuck, lost, or way off track? Jonah did—deep in the belly of a fish. But from that dark place, he prayed. This week, we explore Jonah 2 to discover how prayer, praise, and repentance can lead us back when life takes us off course. Don't miss it!

Jonah isn't about a fish—it's about a God who calls broken people to hard things. This sermon dives into Jonah 1, confronting our avoidance, disobedience, and pride. What if the thing you're running from is the very thing God wants to use to transform you?

Andy Stanley's conversation with Bruce Deel highlights the inspiring work of City of Refuge, a Be Rich partner dedicated to moving people from crisis to independence.

Not everyone will have the opportunity to be famous, but everyone has the opportunity to be great.

Family can be both the most rewarding and most challenging part of life. The challenge is accepting the messy “real” while still aiming for God's “ideal.”

People miss or dismiss Jesus sometimes, but when they do it's usually for an unnecessary reason.

We don't miss out in life because opportunities aren't there—we miss out because we let deception, distraction, or disobedience rob us of them.

The early church had no resources, yet changed the world through bold faith. In week 1 of Marked, we explore how courage, not comfort, marked their witness. What if we prayed, God, make me bold? Discover how boldness opens doors for others to encounter Jesus.

When we choose to fight our battles on our knees, we surrender control and invite God to do what only he can do.

Whatever picture we have of God isn't enough.

When we see God for who he is, we're able to trust him even deeper.

Our trials, temptations, and tension shape us—and they have a way of revealing who or what we're truly depending on.

During trials, our tendency is to ask God to change what's going on around us. But God is more interested in transforming what's going on in us.

The easy path is tempting, but God often does his greatest work on the hard road—where faith, obedience, and courage grow.

We can disagree culturally and politically, and still love unconditionally.

When our faith means that we believe something but don't allow it to prompt action, we're missing out on what a relationship with Jesus can do for us, and for others.

God gave us some powerful tools to help us build our faith, including music. The songs we sing shape the lives we live.

The Bible is full of helpful wisdom for our lives, but for many of us, it can feel hard to understand or difficult to create the habit of reading scripture. But the Bible is much more than informational; it's transformational.

God doesn't size you up and write you off—and neither should you. In God's eyes, you're invited to move forward, not remain stuck in the past.

As followers of Jesus, we have all wrestled with the same tension at some point: we all want to be saved, but we don't always want to submit. In this message, we talk about the difference between "Jesus the Savior" and "Jesus the King" and why it's the most important thing.
