In the 2nd week of our Dwell series, Reach’s Youth Lead Jon preaches a message from Psalm 1 discussing delighting in God’s instruction and meditating on God’s word. In this message, we discuss how the vehicle to delight in God's instructions is meditating on God's word. Jon also discusses the difference between mindfulness, mental health, and medit…

In Matthew 13, Pastor Andrew teaches us how Jesus, just like the prophets in the Old Testament, would use strange sayings and acts to judge the people and call them back to God. Through the Sermon on the Mount, the sabbath controversies, and now the parables, Jesus' ministry rhymes with that of the Old Testament prophets, warning the people of sin …

On Move-Up Sunday, Youth Lead Jon continues in our study of Jesus’ parables. In Matthew 13:44-46 we wrestle with two interpretations that offer one simple truth: Jesus' value system is different than our value system. Through this message, we discover how both interpretations highlight Jesus' different value system and call for a reorientation of t…

Jesus teaches us to receive His yoke upon ourselves. While a call to attach yourself to Jesus may not seem freeing, it is the only way to receive freedom and requires us to unyoke ourselves to many other things in our lives. Pastor Andrew helps us understand Jesus' words through Matthew 11:20-30 and helps us understand how we can yoke ourselves to …

I think we could all agree that encouragement is a good thing, and we all benefit when it's shared between us. Here's the problem we're facing in our culture right now: We are at an encouragement deficit. What if the baseline of how people experienced Christian community was genuine, gospel-infused encouragement? Let's explore how we get there, tog…

This week Pastor Andrew teaches through Matthew 9:18-29. We'll examine the stories of desperate individuals, like the bleeding woman, blind men, and a synagogue leader, who approached Jesus in their time of need. What can their experiences teach us about faith? How do we nurture our faith in the face of life's challenges? Listen in for a deep dive …

There are moments in life when we wait, we mourn, we enter the uncomfortable. But there are also moments to celebrate! To feast! To rejoice! In other words, there are times when you must leave behind an old way of experiencing your situation for a new way. In this weeks message we look at how Jesus wants us to wait with Him and we are waiting for H…

This week, we look at Matthew 9:1-13, documenting a variety of interactions Jesus has with religious leaders and “sinners” alike, all having very different encounters with him along the way. We see a couple controversies, but the controversy that this story ultimately points us to is the reality of where OUR story intersects with those with whom Je…

It's so important that we maintain a healthy posture within the family of God because it's ultimately the greatest testimony we'll have as a collective community. Sadly, Christians are often infected with a critical spirit. If the onlooking world sees us carrying a "cancel culture" attitude just like they do, then how are we any different? James sa…

At Reach, the Elders carry the responsibility of overseeing the mission, vision, life, and doctrine of the church. These men carry the responsibility and authority of leading the church side-by-side, while humbly following Jesus, the Chief Shepherd of the Church. A primary way the Elder Team fulfills its role is by empowering and caring for the men…

This Sunday, we got a taste of Alpha as a church family! Alpha is a fun dinner series followed by group conversations centered around exploring some of the big questions of life and the Christian faith. As we get ready to launch Alpha on September 20th, Pastor Sean shared a brief message on what it looks like to live on mission and share the life-c…

There is no shortcut to sharing our faith or reaching a city. It’s relational + it’s time consuming, but it's worth it. On Vision Sunday, Sean explained what Reach's role in our city has looked liked, current looks like, + hopefully will look like in the next few years to come. Now we get to decide what part we will play in being the Church + reach…

At every stage of life, we are provided with opportunities to either build on the shifting sands, or to build our life on a firm foundation. God is after our head and our heart; our understanding and our passion. It’s not enough just to comprehend the love of God. It’s not enough to hear the words, we must also do something with them.…

While there are areas of our life in which we may be able to masquerade as something or someone we're not, we cannot fool God. You cannot fake your way into the kingdom. You can't flash your "Good person" badge to enter God's presence, or eternity. There is only one way we obtain salvation and that is through the person and work of Jesus Christ - c…

In this section of the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus compares the external righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees to the expression of true and authentic worship that favors the heart of God. Jesus is retraining his disciples on what it means to truly pray and fast. He cautions us against the hypocrisy of praying so that we will be admired, or loo…

It's easy to get comfortable in our own little kingdoms and neglect those who don't fit into our paradigms. But that's not what Jesus taught or modeled for us. As citizens of his kingdom, our job is to follow in his footsteps, which includes aligning our hearts with his in regards to our neighbor - regardless of who they are or where they're at in …

While it's not effort that saves us, the effort we put into our faith is one of the indicators that we have a genuine faith at all. God is values-driven, which means that his commands are meant to reinforce something of his character and priorities, not just his preferences. What we need to realize is that, for the follower of Jesus, we're being in…

Jesus doesn't have a backup plan when it comes to the salvation of people on earth. He came one time for all time, and then sent his disciples out into the world to make more disciples. Jesus commissioned us to be the "salt of the earth," and "the light of the world." If we're not abiding in Christ and doing what he commands us to do, then we're of…
