Series: All Good Things
Speaker: Krista Reyna
The book of Revelation is often considered to be a confusing and complicated book of future prophecy. But the truth is that the opening chapters of Revelation feature the risen Jesus himself giving practical insight to his followers. And his direction in those early chapters is clear: we need to stay alert and focused on following him, despite the increasing challenges we face. In this first week of our three-week walk through Revelation, we’ll hear what Jesus has to say to his Church, take his message to heart, and move toward a closer and more fulfilling relationship with him.

Series: Ambassadors
Speaker: Krista Reyna
How can we share our faith in a way that truly connects with others? In this final message of our Pioneers series, we’ll explore how Paul, Christianity’s first missionary, engaged with philosophers in Athens. He met people where they were, using their own culture and beliefs as a bridge to introduce them to Jesus. We’ll reflect on how God can help us shift our focus from ourselves to communicating the Good News of Jesus in a way that resonates with those He wants to reach.

Series: Kingdom Beyond Compare
Speaker: Krista Reyna
Even Jesus used multiple illustrations to help people grasp the idea of the Kingdom of God. This week, we’ll explore several of the powerful images he used—a treasure, a seed, and a fishing net—to reveal what life looks like under his leadership. Each of these examples gives us a clearer picture of God’s love and his desire for us to live in deep connection with him.
