This series explores the Great Commission not as a suggestion but as the final authoritative command of a King. In Matthew 28 Jesus declares His authority over heaven and earth and sends ordinary sometimes doubting followers into a global mission to make disciples through a life of going baptizing and teaching. Set on a mountain in Galilee this moment reveals both the scope of the mission and the heart behind it a call that extends to all people and is sustained by the promise of Jesus' constant presence. As we walk through this series we will see that you do not need perfect faith to be sent you just need to trust the One who is with you.

In this Good Friday service, we are invited to slow down and sit within the uncomfortable tension of the crucifixion. By stepping into the shoes of three biblical figures—Peter, who faced the gaze of love in the midst of his deepest shame; Barabbas, the revolutionary who walked free because Jesus took his place; and Mary, who stood at the foot of the cross when the promises of God seemed to be crumbling—we explore why the public execution of a Savior is ultimately called "Good."

Humility isn't a personality trait; it's a posture. It's the admission that we are in constant need of grace—a truth woven from the beginning of creation to the life of Christ. In this sermon series, we're walking through the book of Genesis—the “Book of Beginnings,” but also the book of very human failures. From Adam and Eve to Jacob and Joseph, every story reminds us that God does not choose perfect people. He chooses people and forms them.

Revelation is often treated as a puzzle box about the future, but at its heart, it is a wake-up call for the present. It was written to seven real churches that were struggling with compromise, exhaustion, and cultural pressure—much like a student in the middle of a busy semester. In the New Year, we don't just need better habits; we need a better vision. Revelation "unveils" the reality of Jesus so that we can recommit to the things that truly matter: our walk with Him, our life with each other, and our light to the world.

Worth the Wait invites our church into the four Sundays of Advent, reflecting on Jesus' first coming and anticipating his return. Each week centers on one of the traditional Advent themes, marked by the lighting of the Advent wreath. We'll be guided by The Bible Project's Advent material and are sharing their daily devotional with our community as we explore what it means to live faithfully in “the in-between”—remembering Christ's arrival in Bethlehem while looking forward with hope to his coming again.

In this series, we explore one of H2O's core values—Community—through the lens of the book of Ephesians. This letter paints a rich picture of who the people of God are and what it means to live as one body in Christ. Borrowing insights from Henri Nouwen's Life of the Beloved, we'll reflect on what it means to be Chosen, Blessed, Broken, and Given—not just as individuals, but as a unified people shaped by grace. From God's decision to form a community of blessing, to the call to love, serve, and stand together against the powers of this world, Ephesians tells the story of a people brought together in Christ for the sake of the world. Join us as we rediscover the beauty, challenge, and purpose of being the people of God—together.

This series continues the themes of Peter (and the early Church)'s story from Acts. A few decades on, the mission has become even more challenging as local and empirical persecution is on the rise. Peter centers the Christian hope in this: the truth about the identity of the Church, and the Way of Jesus as a continued witness in difficult times. The Gospel mission is an invitation into this glorious identity, and the ongoing hope for those on mission in this broken world is to remember and continually embrace the identity they've been invited into.

This Spring, we're exploring the explosion of the early church throughout the first half of Acts - from Christ's ascension to the first Christians in the ends of the Earth. Our journey centers around how the Holy Spirit's arrival created communities of radical hospitality toward others, faithfulness to the way of Jesus, and sacrificial love in the face of suffering. This patient power is both the history, and the future, of the Church in the world, and everyone's invited into it!
