God is the one who brought us into the family, God is the one who has given us the gifts we have, God is the one who has given us the gift of salvation, but also we are given the responsibility to work out, what God has worked into us and given to us. God brings us from the outside in, then God is working on us from the inside out. Join us as we dive in to Philippians 2:12-18. 

We know, that as believers in Jesus, we are children of God, we are family! God is building a community with a cause, the gospel, but we still do not always walk in love and unity. However, Paul encourages us to so-- join us as Luke walks through Philippians 2:1-11. 

Only through Jesus, do we get to experience the gift of surrendering and suffering. In Jesus, walking worthy does not mean you will walk with a strut, but may suffer with a limp, but we are not alone, we walk and belong together, as citizens of heaven. 

Have you ever found yourself feeling chained to less than ideal circumstances? Where you felt like there was no way God could use them for any redeemable purpose? This week Luke walks us through Philippians 1:12-18 as we discuss what it means to see our chains as a catalyst and see adversity used for a kingdom advantage.

We all long to belong. It's not just something that we desire, but something hardwired into us biologically, why? For what purpose? Do we find ultimate joy and purpose in simply joining a crew of individuals that are affiliated with any particular passion? No. There is an ultimate cause. Join us as Luke walks us through Philippians 1:1-11

We have talked through who we should date, and how we should date. So, now what? Many of us want to know, how do we know? How do you know if your relationship is endgame? How do you know you should move from dating to engagement towards the gift, and the ultimate destination, of marriage? Luke walks us through 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 as we ask and answer the question “how should I know they are the one?” 

Often time, during the relationship process, we are more worried about the Who than the How. This we Luke is diving into HOW we can go about the dating process.

So often, we wonder who is right for me? Should I date this person? Is that a good idea? What am I even looking for? Well, this week, Luke is walking us through 1 Timothy 4:12, as we talk about what we should look for in someone as we evaluate whether they would or would not be a suitable spouse. 

Sex is what you're thinking about, so we're talking about it. There is a sexualization of culture that makes it nearly impossible to avoid. There is something that is broken about the way we handle our sex drive and understand the context in which it is meant to be had and enjoyed. In a world that has a lot to say about a subject that is leading to more and more brokenness, what does God have to say? Join us as Luke walks us through 1 Thessalonians 4, verses 3 through 8.

One of the biggest issues that we deal with going into dating is our own assumptions and preconceived notions that make dating so much harder than it needs to be. How do you know if they're helpful? Or harmful? What are some of the major assumptions we make that make dating harder than it needs to be? This week, Luke walks us through 1 Corinthians 10:23-24 and helps us unpack how we can analyze our assumptions

Singleness is something that every human being that has ever existed goes through. That time differs from person to person, but it's for a purpose and by God's design. Which makes you wonder, why? What is the point? Even for those of us that desire marriage, our lives are full of purpose in our singleness, now. Luke walks us through 1 Corinthians 7, as we explore the reality that we have purpose before we have a person.

Have you ever felt yourself to be upset or frustrated that others seem like they are being blessed and have God's grace on their life, and you don't think they deserve it? Where it had even made you upset with God? Join us as Luke walks us through Jonah 4, together.

Jonah is rescued for a purpose, but why? Have you ever wondered why God rescues us? How that coincides with His heart and how He uses us for a greater purpose? Join us this week as Luke walks us through Jonah 3.

When you find yourself in a difficult and dark place, and it has been because of your own actions, running from God, sin, what do you do? Is there any hope? Join us this week as Luke walks us through the good news that we'll see in Jonah 2.

The messiest moments in our life often stay with us as some of the great markers and identifiers of our lives. We know that these are lies, but what is truth? What does it mean for a believer in Jesus, to find their identity in Jesus, and walk in that identity in Jesus? What does God think about me in this very moment, when I have done things, and experienced things, and had things happen to me that seem to stay with me. What now? Join us as Luke walks us through Matthew 3:13-17.

Have you ever felt like God has you in a season where everything seems insignificant? Like there is no movement towards the things that you are hoping and praying for? Like everything has gone silent? That is when there is more movement happening than we even realize. God tends to move at a pace that is opposite of everything we do and how we move. What do we do? What is the point? Luke walks us through 1 Kings 6:1-7, together.

We live in a messy world, and as a result, we often find ourselves having to encounter and endure difficulty. It begs the question, "How do we navigate that?" How exactly is it that we not only respond when we find ourselves in a mess, but how do we press through the pain of it? Join us as Luke helps us walk through 2 Timothy 2, verses 1 through 13 together.

Have you ever felt like you are at your wits end? Nothing is going right in life, you're in a difficult situation, sin, there is just something wrong at every turn? Maybe you've been there, maybe you are there, but if you are hanging on by a thread, know this - a thread is all you need. Join in as Luke walks us through Luke 8, verses 42 through 48.

A lot of times we associate with our messes, but we are so much more than that, in Jesus. This week, Jeff Wallace came to Quay to teach us about how we are able to not only find ways to resist identifying ourselves with our messes, but also navigate the ways in which we understand our actual identity in Jesus.

Gardening is a messy, chaotic, and difficult process. Still, life comes forth from it. God will produce crops we didn't even know we needed in conditions we didn't even think were possible. As people who are justified by our faith in Jesus, what is it that God produces through painful and messy places? Luke walks us through Romans 5:1-5.

Have you ever felt like there are just those one or two specific messes that keep you from flourishing in your relationship with The Lord? Luke kicks off our new collection, Your Mess Matters, by discussing how we must abandon a worldly perception of progress and adopt a Godly perspective on obedience. How? We jump into Jeremiah 18:1-6, together.

Have you ever asked yourself or heard someone say, "Why do I need church?" There are a lot of rumors and speculation out there about what God has to say about church, how important and really is, and what we should do with that. After all, I can just read my Bible, can't I?

We live in a culture of almost. That is almost right, that is almost helpful, there are a lot of things that sound biblical and like wisdom, but are they? Luke and Justin discuss some of the popular phrases and practices that have intertwined themselves with Christianity and the Church and try to untangle this confusing ball of almost.

Dating is hard. Relationships are hard. They're complicated and confusing, everyone seems to know what not to say and what not to do, but what do we say? What do we do? Is there any way that dating can be an experience where I leave someone better than I found them even if it doesn't work out? Is it possible to be clear with someone without hurting their feelings? Luke and Justin discuss good and bad practices in dating and relationships.
