Who is at your table?

This Sunday we talked about three circles that shape how we do life with people.

The closed circle — your people. The ones you do life with consistently.

The dotted circle — the ones you can host. People you open your table to.

The half circle — the spaces where you show up as the guest. Where you enter someone else's world.

Jesus modeled all three. In Luke 5 He sat at a table full of people who had not repented of anything. He did not wait for people to be ready before He showed up for them.

The healthy do not need a doctor. The sick do. So He went to where the need was.

Who is God calling you to invite to your table this week?

Church was never meant to be your escape from real life.

This Sunday we were challenged on something uncomfortable. A lot of us live in two worlds — the "in here" where we worship, feel God, and find community — and the "out there" where we are just trying to survive until we get back inside.

But God is not more present in one place than the other.

He is moving out there too.

The church is simply where we learn to see Him everywhere else.

This week ask yourself — where is Jesus already at work in the spaces you walk into every day?

In New York City there are rules. 😄

Don't make eye contact. Don't smile at strangers. Mind your business. Stay out of the way.

But this we were reminded that as followers of Jesus we are called to break every single one of those rules.

Not in a weird way. In a Philippians 2:4 kind of way — looking not to your own interests but to the interests of others.

Showing up with warmth.

Making people feel seen.

Asking how they're really doing and actually waiting for the answer.

Think about it — a dog never read a book on relationships and yet we love them because they hold nothing back. No agenda. No ulterior motive. Just pure interest in the person in front of them.

That's the energy we're bringing into this city every week.

Nobody drifts into being a good listener. 🤍

This Sunday Pastor Joel opened with something that stuck — you can make more friends in two weeks by showing genuine interest in other people than in two years trying to get people interested in you.

We live in a culture that rewards the loudest voice. But James 1:19 says something completely different: be quick to listen, slow to speak.

When you truly listen to someone four things happen. You communicate that they matter. You start to understand what they actually need. You build real trust. And eventually you earn the right to speak into their life.

That's not just good relationship advice. That's the foundation of sharing your faith.

This week try it. Ask a follow up question. Resist the urge to make it about you. Get beneath the surface.

Prayer starts with honesty. 🤍

Not the polished version of yourself. Not the version that has it all together. The real one.

Pastor Cathy and Liz sat down last Sunday for a real and raw conversation about what it actually looks like to begin with prayer. And it starts with knowing yourself well enough to know where to begin.

Maybe for you that looks like bringing your complaints to God first. Maybe it looks like sitting in silence and learning to hear His voice. Maybe it looks like admitting you only have three minutes and giving Him those three minutes fully.

Whatever it is — start there. Bring the most honest version of yourself and let God meet you in it.

You don't have to have the perfect prayer. You just have to show up. 🕊️

Maybe for you that looks like bringing your complaints to God first. Maybe it looks like sitting in silence and learning to hear His voice. Maybe it looks like admitting you only have five minutes and giving Him those five minutes fully.

Whatever it is — start there. Bring the most honest version of yourself and let God meet you in it.

You don’t have to have the perfect prayer. You just have to show up.

Every crossroads moment has a next step.

"Stand at the crossroads and look; ask for the ancient paths, ask where the good way is, and walk in it, and you will find rest for your souls." — Jeremiah 6:16

When life feels uncertain, when cultural pressure, spiritual doubt, or emotional weight tries to pull you away from God... come back to this.

Stand. Don't run from the moment. Be present in it.

Look. Lift your eyes. Pay attention to where God is moving.

Ask. Seek the ancient paths. You don't have to figure this out alone.

Walk. Take the step. Obedience is less about the destination and more about the direction.

This is how we stay on mission. Not perfectly, but faithfully.

06/29/2026

A long obedience in the same direction.

This Sunday we talked about what it really means to live a life on mission — not just in moments of inspiration, but consistently, over time.

Discipleship isn't a long process. It's a steady movement.

And ancient practice gives us a framework for that — called the rule of life.

A way of taking our everyday rhythms — our rest, our work, our relationships, our spiritual practices — and making each one an offering to God.

We anchored in Jeremiah 6:16 and walked away with four actions to hold onto this week.

Stand. Look. Ask. Walk.

Stillness is not the absence of faith. It's an act of it.

"Be still and know that I am God." — Psalm 46:10

We talked about silence and solitude, making space to simply be with God, without an agenda, without rushing to the next thing.

It's easy to swap time with God for more work for God.

Serving, doing, producing, even good things can quietly replace the quiet itself.

So we practiced something simple.

We closed our eyes, took a deep breath, and read the verse slowly, letting it shrink with every breath:

Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am.
Be still and know.
Be still.
Be.

Each pause was its own offering.

Each breath made space for Him to meet us in the silence.

This week, try it yourself. No requests. No to-do list. Just you, your breath, and him. 🤍

06/22/2026

This Sunday we talked about apprenticeship with Jesus, not just following him, but learning who you are through him.

Your identity was never meant to come from your output, your title, or how much you accomplish in a day. It comes from who you're being shaped into as you walk with him.

When you know who you are in Christ, it changes how you show up everywhere else, at work, at home, in your relationships, in the hard moments.

This isn't about doing more.

It's about becoming more like him. 🤍
