Something Old, Something New

Ever wonder if your faith is real or just wishful thinking? John the apostle—the last man standing who physically walked with Jesus—has something to say about that. In week one of Touch Grass, Pastor Levi takes us to 1 John 1:1-10 and helps us see why "if it's new, it's not true; if it's true, it's not new" when it comes to theology. We'll dig into five life-changing truths from this opening passage. John doesn't just want you to believe—he wants you to know you have eternal life. Time to get grounded in truth that can't be shaken!NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

The Two Sons

In one of the most familiar stories Jesus ever told, the prodigal son in Luke 15, we often miss that both sons were lost—one ran away, the other stayed close but let pride keep him distant. In this powerful message from Annie F. Downs, we’re reminded that no matter how far you’ve gone, you’re never too far to come home. Whether you’ve made a series of small compromises that led to a place you never meant to be, or you’re sitting in judgment with crossed arms and a closed heart, the Father is on the porch—looking, waiting, running toward you. There’s no better place to be than close to the Father.

Side Characters

Feeling overlooked, unqualified, or unsure of what God's calling you to? Looking at the story of Saul and Ananias (a man mentioned in only a few verses who changed the course of history by his obedience) in Acts 9, Tim Ross shows us three life-altering truths: God sees what people skip, obedience doesn't require agreement, and you're not the star (and that's actually a relief!). Learn why embracing "side character energy" frees you to be powerfully used by God without the pressure of being the main character.NEXT STEPS:Ask for prayer or connect with a pastor: https://freshlife.church/contactRegister your decision to follow Jesus and receive free resources: https://freshlife.church/know-godGive a financial gift to support what God is doing as we take steps forward to see the Gospel reach far and wide: https://freshlife.church/giveSUBSCRIBE:Sign up to receive encouragement straight to your inbox, and to stay up to date with announcements, events, and more: https://church.us13.list-manage.com/subscribe?u=6ea4d82b2567db3e86b7767cd&id=451f2fe63eDon’t miss a video!

The disciples participated in this royal parade without having a clue what was happening, yet they obeyed anyway.Scripture Focus: John 12:12-16 & Matthew 21:1-3Discover why Jesus sent two disciples to "borrow" a donkey with only the explanation "The Lord has need of them." Like the disciples, your job is not to understand God but to obey Him. Trust your Master, not your master plan.5 Things to Remember When Life Is Murky:Muscle ConfusionUnorthodox MethodsReadinessKingdomYou'll Know More LaterBig Idea: Choose compliance over clarity.

The Miracle You Never Saw Coming

Think of an answer to prayer you never received, a time when you trusted God to do something and He didn't. A situation where you were disappointed by God. What are we to make of these instances where we had faith the size of a mustard seed to see a mountain move but it didn't budge?In This Message, The Miracle You Never Saw Coming, Pastor Levi Lusko examines The Chosen's powerful portrayal of "Little James" being called to heal others while living with his own disability, revealing how God's power can flow through us even when we still limp.From The Chosen Season 3, Episode 2 "Two by Two" - witness the tension of being commissioned to participate in healing you yourself have never experienced. This conversation between Jesus and Little James isn't directly in the Bible, but it's thoroughly biblical from Genesis to Revelation: power out of pain and strength out of weakness.Scripture Focus: 2 Corinthians 12:7-10 & Luke 6:15Discover what it means to have the power of God on your life but still limp through with the pains, heartaches, and difficulties of life. Like Paul's thorn in the flesh, sometimes God chooses to work through us but not for us. Could God be glorified by a trial He chooses to allow to remain?3 Things You Must Know to Survive Saturday (the space between Good Friday and Easter):Pain Is a ProblemPain Has a ProblemPain Is Not Your ProblemThe miracle you never saw coming?
