Verve City Church: Weekly Messages

“Losing the Culture War” kicked off our new series, “Think Different*.” *A worthwhile, non-gross, highly-helpful, utterly necessary conversation about faith & politics.

Sometimes it can feel like life is just one thing after another! With all of the challenges swirling around us, what are Christians supposed to do? Check out the final message in our Spark series, where Pastor Josh concluded that we are called to share hope, to “Make a Difference,” to pour our lives out for the sake of others.

Do you ever feel like you’re stuck? …Like your past decisions or mistakes are making it difficult for you to move forward? Check out this week’s message to consider how Jesus invites us to “Find Freedom.” 

Spark, Part 2: We were created on purpose, for a purpose. How do we faithfully lean into God’s purpose for our lives?

Spark, Part 1: Christianity offers a direct, personal, love relationship with the Creator God. How did we get here, and why does it matter?

It's Not About The Fish, Part 3: The book of Jonah ends on a cliffhanger: Jonah is so furious that God chooses to forgive Nineveh that he longs for death. God challenges Jonah, essentially asking him if he loves the Lord enough to offer a message of salvation to even his greatest enemies. Perhaps God is asking us the same question

It's Not About The Fish, Part 2: The least likely outcome of Jonah’s 8-word sermon to the Ninevites is exactly what happens: they repent and dress up their animals. God’s compassion for even the worst of sinners in this story is inspiring. And perhaps unsettling.

It's Not About The Fish, Part 1: Not many people would volunteer to be swallowed alive by a giant fish, but what if the alternative was sinking to the bottom of the sea? Sometimes we endure a harrowing experience only to realize in hindsight that it led to our own redemption.

The Good Life, Part 3: Some things change; some things never change. The same ancient practices that helped our spiritual ancestors connect to God can continue to guide us today. We just need some assistance from a special Helper.

The Good Life, Part 2: Healthy relationships require trust: a belief that the other person wants the best for you. Many of us struggle to connect personally with God precisely because we aren’t convinced we can trust him.
