Speaker: Pastor Martin Chang TITLE: Venturing Together TEXT: Joshua 3:9-17 INTRO: As the old cliche goes, "nothing ventured, nothing gained." For those grappling with fear, or loss; the call to step forward into uncertain waters may seem too daunting. But God has a way of empowering us with courage via faith; as we step forward with Him and the family of Christ. Today as we celebrate the start of a new season, in a new venue; how might we reflect on the call and privilege to venture forward...together?

×SPEAKER: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: Rom. 1:11-12, Prov. 11:25 INTRO: We are often trained to see the world through a zero sum lens. In other words, where in order for one to gain, there must be a corresponding loss. However, when it comes to the community of Christ; could it be that it all works another way? What if making another strong, through the exercise of your gifts actually makes you stronger? What would it look like for our community to extend our giftedness and strength to each other; in such a way that we all reap the strengthening benefits?…
Speaker: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: 1Peter 4:7-10 INTRO: Whether sought, or seen on the screens; we just can't get enough of love. But love is only real when it is sincere; whole hearted. Today as we look at a defining characteristic of authentic community in Christ, how can we appropriate the call to love truly; even to the point of boiling in love?…
Speaker: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: Acts 2:42-47 INTRO: Appearances can be deceiving. The beauty and nature of a thing isn't always fully grasped through external lenses. Rather, they often only pointed to through symbol, and revealed through experience. Today as we continue to look at doing community God's way, how might we understand and leverage the sacramental nature of church in practice?…
Speaker: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 INTRO: Amidst an epidemic of loneliness, many find themselves on a quest for community. But what does community look like, and why is it so hard to find and build? Today as we start a new series on "Forging Community," we will reflect on how we might tap into our hunger for connection toward building biblical community.…
Speaker: Pastor Martin TEXT: Psalm 139: 23-34; Philippians 3:12-14 INTRO: Life feels like it speeds by so fast that we don't know where we've come, much less where we ought to be going. Today as we note the end of this year, and the coming start of the next; what would it look like to practice the discipline of prayerful reflection and self examination in God's Presence?…
Speaker: Pastor Martin Chang TITLE: Proclaiming Jubilee TEXT: Luke 4:14-21 INTRO: Celebrations are usually tied to an occasion, e.g. a birthday, or a holiday. But there are special occasions that call for grand celebration, e.g. a 50th year anniversary. Now imagine how you would celebrate if you were diagnosed with terminal case of cancer, but then declared cancer free? Or if you were unjustly imprisoned for life, but then set free? Today as we reflect on Jesus' proclamations of Jubilee in His coming, how might we echo His calls to freedom for the oppressed amidst our celebrations this season?…
Speaker: Pastor Martin Chang TITLE: Gifting Hospitality TEXT: Luke 14:12-14; Leviticus 19:33-34 INTRO: Hosting family and friends; or being hosted is a central part of our holiday celebrations. But as we reflect on the true nature of hospitality in Christ, what would it look like for us to gift expressions of hospitality to the vulnerable this season?…
SPEAKER: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: Luke 2:1-7; Matthew 2:13-14 INTRO: The season of Christmas has been largely taken over by nostalgic, if not straight up consumer agendas. But at the heart of Christmas is the stunning advent of God in the flesh, into our broken lives and world. Today as we start out our Advent season proper, how might we take into account Jesus' coming into such a vulnerable position. And how might we look to identify with Him by identifying with the vulnerable in and around us?…
SPEAKER: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: James 1:22, John 14:21 INTRO: For most of us, initiating change in our lives is hard enough. But a good start only gets us so far. The real test for lasting change comes with the follow through. Today as we finish out our GRACE group series on Practicing Devotion, what will following through look like in our first hand spirituality lifestyle? And how might we apply principles of the follow through in our discipleship life in Christ?…
SPEAKER: Pastor Richard Lee TITLE: The Liturgy of Life TEXT: Exodus 20:8-11 INTRO: From the way we think about time, to the way we use it, God cares. As we continue in our series on Practicing Devotion, we'll consider what it means to leverage our time and life rhythms for worship.
SPEAKER: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: John 14:26, Isaiah 30:21 INTRO: If a stranger declares that God talks to them, most of us are inclined to quickly diagnose mental health issues. However, what we see in the Bible is that God is always talking to His people. Today as we continue on in our Practicing Devotion GRACE group series, how can we open our attention to the God who speaks personally to us? How can we engage the Scriptures and the Spirit in the practice of hearing God?…
SPEAKER: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: Romans 14:12, Hebrews 10:24 INTRO: When it comes to our leaders, or even our peers; we generally like the notion of someone being held "accountable" for their actions. However, it's not always clear how that is supposed to happen, especially when it comes to others keeping us accountable. Today as we reflect on the power of accountability toward personal and spiritual growth, what does accountability look like? And how can we handle it well, when it comes to a lifestyle devoted to God?…
SPEAKER: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: Psalm 1:1-2, Joshua 1:8 INTRO: Given all the information that comes across our minds each day, our attention spans grow all the more short and shallow. Close and careful reading is training that few possess, much less practice. But what if the Scriptures were not meant to just be accessed, but rather meditated upon: slowly and deeply? This week as we discuss what the ancients called Lectio Divina, i.e. "divine reading"; how might the practice of slowing down and contemplating through the Scriptures connect us deeply with God?…
SPEAKER: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: Luke 4:16, 5:16. INTRO: They say that 40% of all that we do is out of habit. Depending on whether these habits are good or bad, our lives are profoundly affected. Today as we look at the lifestyle of Jesus, and how he habitually worships and prays; how might we leverage the power of habits in our lives; for greater godliness and devotion?…
SPEAKER: Pastor Martin Chang TEXT: 2Timothy 2:15, John 16:13 INTRO: While some might claim that "truth isn't truth", when it comes to living Knowing what is true and what is not can make all the difference in the world. Today as we start our GRACE groups proper, how can we practically get into the daily rhythm of infusing our thoughts with God's Word and truth?…
