All Things in Common

Guest teacher and co-founding pastor of Collective Church, Casey Fritz joins us as we consider the practice of sharing all things in common for the sake of meeting the needs within our community.

The Prayers

As part of our series "Devoted: The Posture and Practices of Spirit-Filled People," Pastor Ryan Smith looks into the early church's commitment to "the prayers," a daily rhythm of specific prayers. Amid the challenges of distraction from and confusion around prayer, this practice serves as the pathway to sustained intimacy with God throughout our days.

The Breaking of Bread

Pastor Ryan Smith unpacks the profound practice of "the breaking of bread" delving into the significance and priority of our weekly communion meal. He illuminates how this act not only serves as a remembrance of Jesus' sacrifice but also becomes a conduit for experiencing his abiding presence through the Spirit. A continuation in the series "Devoted: The Posture and Practices of Spirit-Filled People."

The Fellowship

In our series "Devoted: The Posture and Practices of Spirit-Filled People," Pastor Ryan Smith looks at the tension between Western individualism and the practice of "fellowship." As we commit to a communal life over isolation, we not only counter the loneliness of our age, but we foster the sort of community which stewards an ongoing work of God's Spirit in one another and to one another.

The Apostles’ Teaching

Pastor Ryan Smith continues in our series, "Devoted: The Posture and Practices of a Spirit-Filled People" and the first practice of "devoting themselves to the Apostles' teaching." Looking at their example we consider the necessity for an unwavering commitment to doctrine and how we carry this practice out in the life of the church.

Devoted

Pastor Ryan Smith begins our new series, "Devoted: The Posture and Practices of a Spirit-Filled People" by examining Acts 2:36-47 and the Jerusalem community's response to Pentecost and the sending of the Spirit.

Hope in the Spirit

Pastor Ryan Smith concludes our series, More, Part 02: Walking by the Holy Spirit, looking at Romans 8:18-28. In a world submerged in suffering, what is the unique perspective given through Christianity and how does the Spirit of God empower us to respond to the pain, loss, and evil we encounter in our lives?

Know God as Abba by the Spirit

Pastor Ryan Smith continues in Part Two of More: Walking by the Spirit, looking at how receiving the Spirit of adoption frees us from the fears that control us in Romans 8:15-17.

Be Led by the Spirit

Pastor Isaac Brickner explores Romans 8:14, which highlights the connection between being led by the Spirit and the identity of God's people as sons and daughters.

Put to Death the Deeds of the Flesh by the Spirit

Guest Pastor Char Brodersen provides us with a framework for putting to death the deeds of the flesh from Romans 8:12-23 and Galatians 5:16-21.
