Scripture: John 13
Series: Unafraid
Autophobia, or monophobia, is the fear of being alone. As we think about heading to new schools or new seasons of life, it may be natural to experience some level of autophobia. As Jesus' disciples were about to face life without Jesus, they may have been feeling the same way. Jesus spent so much time preparing them and helping them see that even without him, they were not alone. And neither are we!

Scripture: Matthew 5:43-48 & 1 John 4:18-19
Series: Unafraid
We are not all the same; the world is complex and diverse. And sometimes we recognize the beauty in diversity, but other times we see people as a challenge and their views as a threat. How do we address this fear? Jesus knew because this fear is as old as humanity itself. Let's listen in as we learn about our differences and Jesus' desire for us to show love not just to those with whom we agree but also those with whom we disagree.

Scripture: Matthew 10:26-33
Series: Summer Setlist
What is the strangest thing you have ever bragged about? (Or what's your weirdest flex?) Are you double jointed? Can you perform an amazing party trick? How about this one from Jesus: you are worth more than many sparrows. Imagine your next corporate mixer: "Name one fun fact about yourself." I am worth more than many sparrows! But according to Jesus it's true. Let's explore what that means and why it matters today.

Song: "Long Cool Woman" by The Hollies
The Pharisees and teachers of the law thought that they have caught Jesus in a trap as they brought a sinful woman in front of him and demanded a judgment. But Jesus had a bigger idea in mind and bigger vision for the woman's life. This moment of unwarranted grace and underserved rescue is a story we need to hear again and again.

Song: "You Will Be Found" from Dear Evan Hansen
Jesus spent a great amount of time with the outcast, sick, hurting, and hopeless during his ministry on earth. This caused no shortage of frustration for the Pharisees and scribes. One day when they were grumbling, Jesus decided to respond with parables about lost things and people being found. His gospel speaks directly to your life and the life of Evan Hansen with this promise: you will be found.

Eric and Pastor Clay met up to talk about the new message series based on songs and specifically Pastor Clay's message about Luke 10 and "Build Your Kingdom Here" by Rend Collective. One of the things Pastor Clay eluded to was that the group in Seattle faced opposition to the kingdom-work they were doing, so tune in to hear more about that and what it means to knock the dust off our feet and keep doing the hard work of building the kingdom.

Scripture: Luke 10:1-9 (GNT)
Series: Summer Setlist
Have you ever a heard a song so many times it lost all meaning? That almost happened to Pastor Clay and the song "Build Your Kingdom Here" from Rend Collective. Thankfully it didn't because of the songs connection to scripture. In Luke 10, Jesus sends out seventy-two apostles to proclaim God's kingdom to areas that Jesus hadn't visited yet. That call, despite its difficulties, is a call we live out today.
