In a week marked by violence and hostility across our nation, we turned to Jesus’ call to be a community of hospitality in a culture of hostility.This message from our Foundations series reminds us that true witness doesn’t start with pointing at the problems “out there,” but with letting Jesus search our own hearts. Before we can carry His love into a hurting world, we must repent of judgment, anger, or indifference and exchange them for His compassion.Through the parable of the Good Samaritan, we’re reminded that our neighbors aren’t defined by categories or similarities rather they’re the people God puts in our path. To follow Jesus is to “Go and do likewise, ”to see, to stop, to have compassion, and to step toward those who are hurting.Watch now as we explore how to practice authentic witness, and how ordinary moments can become powerful expressions of Jesus’ Kingdom.

Generosity

n this message from our Foundations series, we dive into the biblical practice of fasting: what it is, why Jesus assumed His followers would do it, and how it awakens a deeper hunger for His presence.

Throughout Scripture, God’s people fasted. Jesus Himself began His ministry with fasting, and He taught, “When you fast…” not if.

Fasting exposes our disordered desires, retrains our appetites, and reminds us that true satisfaction is only found in Him. It puts us face-to-face with our weakness to open us to God’s transforming power.

Practicing the Way

Our culture prizes radical individualism. The problem? It’s leaving us lonely, disconnected, and spiritually stunted. More than half of Americans say no one truly knows them.

But from the very beginning, God designed us for interdependence. Jesus built His ministry around small, intentional circles. People who shared life, meals, and mission together. The early church devoted themselves to the table and community was meant to be the primary context for spiritual formation. But it takes intentionality.

The Practice of Sabbath is to be formed in rest. To Sabbath is to trust that God is working when we’re not, to embrace our limits, and to let go of our addiction to hurry, hustle, and proving our worth. This ancient practice is spiritual warfare in disguise because it fights back against the cultural lie that we are what we produce.

Prayer

In this message from our House of Prayer series, we look at Paul’s prayer in Colossians 1:9–14 and learn what it means to pray with intention.

From house arrest, he prays for a group of believers he’s never met, asking for things that matter eternally: spiritual wisdom, endurance, fruitfulness, strength, and joy.

Kim invites us to step beyond surface-level prayers and into deeper alignment with God’s heart. It’s about partnering with the Spirit to pray crafted, consistent prayers that shape people, not just circumstances.
