From the series "Church of the Good Shepherd". Psalm 23, Psalm 62:5-8 As we continue in our series, "Church of the Good Shepherd: A Vision Series in Psalm 23", Pastor Lorenzo Smith leads us to consider the second verse of Psalm 23 and the sort of rest that is provided through our Shepherd.

From the series "Church of the Good Shepherd". Exodus 33:12-23, Psalm 23 As we celebrate the beginning of our seventh year as Collective Church, Pastor Ryan Smith begins a six-week series titled, "Church of the Good Shepherd: A Vision Series from Psalm 23". The most important "vision" in the life of any church is not a plan for what we'll do, but a revelation of who God is. As we begin this new series, we look at the first verse of Psalm 23 and the significance of seeing God as our Shepherd and the sort of life this opens up before us. Sermon Notes Here

From the series "How to Read the Bible". Psalm 1 For followers of Jesus, we believe that the Bible is not simply a source of information about God but communion with him. Pastor Ryan Smith continues in our Fall Series, "How to Read the Bible" by looking at Psalm 1, the prayerful meditation of Scripture, and the ancient practice of Lectio Divina.

From the series "How to Read the Bible". Psalm 104 Pastor Ryan Smith continues our Fall Series, "How to Read the Bible: Navigating the Library of Scripture" by looking at how to read the Bible as ancient literature. The Bible wasn't written in a cultural vacuum and so we need to take steps to read the Bible in light of the shaping languages and cultures that went into its authorship if we are to understand how to apply it to our Angeleno context.

From the series "How to Read the Bible". Exodus 17:14, Exodus 24:3-4, 1 Timothy 4:13 How are we to receive and read the Scripture? For many raised in the American church we imagine bible-reading to predominantly be something we do alone and apart from others. Guest preacher Pastor Ryan MacDonald guides us into the Bible's communal nature – that is, the Bible was written and designed to be read and studied within a community that is learning to live by its story.

From the series "How to Read the Bible". Luke 24:44-47 Who is the Bible about? As we continue in "How to Read the Bible," Pastor Ryan Smith teaches on how the story of the Bible and all of its main themes come to their fulfillment in Jesus’ life, death, and resurrection and the gift of the Spirit. Once we understand Jesus' own way of reading the Bible for ourselves, every story, psalm, page will take us deeper into the person and work of Jesus. Sermon Notes Here
