Verve City Church: Weekly Messages

God wants everyone to experience His joy, no matter their starting point. This feels great when we’re receiving grace, but what about when we’re the ones forgiving, accommodating, or celebrating with family or friends who have hurt us, or failed to meet our expectations? At Christmas, we’re reminded that Jesus left His heavenly home to bring us into God’s family and invites us to extend that same grace, creating space for others to find their way home.

Home. It's a word that can elicit feelings of comfort, rest, and safety. At Christmas-time the word may spark memories of brightly colored packages under the tree, the nostalgic smell of hot cocoa, or the pleasure of extended time with family. As we get older, we don't just enjoy home — we become home for someone else: neighbors, friends, children, co-workers. But the responsibility of providing a sense of home for others can leave us longing for the simplicity of home as a child: where we felt safe, secure, warm, and a childlike confidence that we'd be taken care of. This Christmas season, Verve City Church invites you to come home for the holidays: to discover in Jesus the childlike sense of wonder and acceptance when the world seemed simpler and your load seemed lighter. Family is the place meant to hold us, but so often, it’s where we feel broken, misunderstood, or left out. Jesus whispers a truth that steadies the soul: God’s family is open to all who lean into His will. This week, we’ll look at how Christmas invites us to a deeper belonging—a family built on grace and a home that never lets go. 

In the last week of our Boundless series, we'll reflect on the security believers have in God's love. Paul asks, "If God is for us, who can be against us?" and answers: No hardship, suffering, or power can separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus.Join us for our final look into Romans 8, a powerful reflection on the life of the Spirit and the assurance of God’s enduring love for believers. 

In the third week of our Boundless series, we’re looking at what God has in store for our present and future. Join us for the continued dive into Romans 8, a powerful reflection on the life of the Spirit and the assurance of God’s enduring love for believers. 

In the second week of our Boundless series, we’ll explore our identity as followers of Jesus. What does it look like when we allow God’s boundless love to transform our hearts and our lives?

Following Jesus isn’t about following a bunch of rules; it’s about allowing God’s boundless love to transform your heart and your life. What would it look like to live for future glory… now? Join us Sundays in November to dive into Romans 8, a powerful reflection on the life of the Spirit, the hope of future glory, and the assurance of God’s enduring love for believers.

Our Halloweekend message is a look at one of the spookiest stories in the Bible: The Witch of Endor. Note: This message is PG-13 for some adult themes and general spookiness! 

In the final week of our True North series, we're exploring how the Holy Spirit guides us toward Jesus, grows the fruit of love in our hearts, empowers us for ministry, and distributes spiritual gifts and talents among us to help build up the Body of Christ.

Our True North series is a look at the compass within us all, a profound calling that cuts through the noise and confusion. This week, we're looking at another fundamental truth: God does not love us because we are good; God loves us because He is good.

In a culture addicted to noise, speed, and endless options, it’s no wonder so many of us feel lost, pulled in a thousand different directions. We’re bombarded with messages about who we should be, what we should want, and where we should go. But what if there’s a compass within us all, a more profound calling that cuts through the noise and confusion? This journey isn’t about escaping the chaos but finding clarity within it. Join us as we explore the pursuit of a life lived on purpose – a life aligned with your True North.
