We are a church that exists to Know Christ and to make Him Known both in our city but also to the ends of the earth.
Exodus now moves into a long, “boring” genealogy.But wait… is it really boring? Or are there some hidden gems here that will have us sit up in wonder?
Frequently, we're tempted to avoid the geneologies in scripture like in Exodus 6:14-30. But let's examine this one more closely as it says a lot more than we might initially realize!
No matter our mistakes, the Lord will ensure that His call and His promises will stand.

ust when the story seems to be moving toward confrontation with Pharaoh, Exodus gives us one of its most shocking moments.Exodus 4:24 (ESV): “At a lodging place on the way, the LORD met [Moses] and sought to put him to death.”What? Join us this week as we look at this rather odd portion of the Exodus story!
An absolutely pivotal moment even in the history of humankind occurs to Moses at the burning bush… as God Himself reveals His name for the first time, and the release of the Israelites - signaling the release of humankind from slavery to come - is set in motion.

We continue our Exodus, covering Exodus 2:1-22.Gather the family around the Word at home! It's a great opportunity to also break bread together! We've put together a list of discussion questions you can also go over if you'd like:1. How are you living out your Christianity?2. What is coming out of your private time with the Lord?3. What are your eyes of faith seeing?4. How is God positioning you to be a “deliverer” to those around you?5. Are you running ahead of the call of God in your life? If so, how?6. What does your wilderness season look like? What lessons are you learning?Remember to keep each other in prayer and we'll see you after the thaw!
The strategy of the enemy is to always put us under taskmasters and oppression. But with the Spirit, we will still continue to multiply and trust God to take us out of slavery. But we can't walk the safe road - we must walk the road of faith.
Pharoah commands all the male children be killed.
God's promises never fail!
The book of Exodus is full of drama, intrigue, adventure, supernatural events, and God's grace and power! So we've gone for an Indiana Jones theme to represent it! And it really is going to be an adventure!2026 will not be a year of shrinking back. It will be a year of coming out of fear, out of limitation, out of old labels, out of small thinking, and out of Egypt! God is leading us into a year of:new ground,new areas of faith, new miracles,new doors for mission and expansion,new clarity, andfresh anointing! And just as Israel discovered in its Exodus, God does His greatest work not when circumstances look easy, but when His people choose to trust Him.

LAKE TRAVIS - The Bible declares in this portion of scripture that we are citizens of heaven. While we may have loyalties to many things on earth; and a citizenship to a nation; there is something even greater that we are citizens of. And this citizenship requires fidelity to certain values and one message which never changes.

JOHNSON CITY - What does it mean to live a life in a "manner worthy of the gospel of Jesus Christ"? (Philippians 1:27.) Paul tells us in his letter: to live in unity with God's people; to be of one mind, one heart, for the gospel.

LAKE TRAVIS - As we continue our series in Philippians, we see in this portion of scripture that sometimes doing the right thing lands you in prison. It doesn't mean God doesn't love you. But God uses our frustrating circumstances still for His glory and His gospel. Through the Spirit, we need eyes to see how He is turning it all together for the good.
JOHNSON CITY - Unpacking Philippians 1:19-26.
Unpacking the heart of Philippians 1:12-18.1. They become channels for the gospel!2. They unleash bold witness in others!3. They expose hearts, yet Christ is proclaimed!
Finding joy in the proclamation of the gospel in all situations.
LAKE TRAVIS - Paul's letter, written from prison, challenges us to find joy in Jesus, not in our circumstances. We kick off our series on the book of Philippians by covering:1. Our identity is found in Christ, not in our culture, career, or failures.2. Gospel partnership goes deeper than friendship—it's a Spirit-forged fellowship in mission. The Philippian church started with diverse backgrounds united by grace, and we're called to join in the mission shoulder-to-shoulder, not just as spectators.3. True gospel partnership creates deep bonds of love that transcend circumstance, reflecting Christ's own affection.4. Spiritual growth is measured by love that abounds with discernment, leading to fruitful lives that bring glory to God.As a church, we need to embrace a vision "Beyond the Walls"—to step out in faith, serve, give, and pray for God's kingdom to advance.

As we finish the book of Jonah we examine Jesus' statement in Matthew 12 that "something greater than Jonah is here." Jonah ran from the city of Nineveh, but we are called to go to every single Nineveh. So we look at Jonah vs Jesus, and our call today, weaved into our response to the tragic deaths of Charlie Kirk, Iryna Zarutska, and challenges with the economy and our church finances.

What does it mean to 'walk with the Holy Spirit'? Is the Christian life merely 'sin management' or something more?
God's mercy extends to all, even those we might not expect or desire Him to bless. This challenges us to align our hearts with God's compassionate nature, rather than holding onto anger or narrow perspective.
Jonah was offended when God was full of grace toward those Jonah hated.
Restoring three things back to the church:1. The preeminent pursuit of Jesus.2. Returning to the biblical church design.3. The call of God to the nations.Also includes the deacon ordination!
