Sacred Tables

In a world filled with garage door openers, Amazon orders and privacy fences, it can be easy to live without knowing the people we live closest to. The way we structure our lives reflects the internal rhythms of our souls. We’re often closed off, driven and busy. We’ve built bigger fences instead of longer tables — rarely welcoming anyone into our homes or our lives. But the history of the church has been centered around the table. For hundreds of years, the table has been where the people of Jesus met. The gospel spread from one home to another.

What would happen if a community of faith embraced Jesus’ vision for being a neighbor? What might Jesus unleash as we invite people into our ordinary lives and share our stories? Join us as we embark on a journey toward radically ordinary hospitality.

Heaven
Revelation: Season 2
What if the most important thing about your life isn’t what you see, but what’s happening in heaven right now? In Revelation 4–9, we’re invited through an open door to behold the throne, to listen in on worship that never ceases, and see the One who holds history in His hands. These chapters don’t give us escape; they provide us with perspective and anchor our lives in the unshakable reality of God's reign. This series explores how heavenly worship reshapes earthly living, calling us to align our hearts with the song that’s already rising around the throne… and that will never end.

We live in uncertain times. The pace of life is fast, culture feels divided, and people are searching for solid ground to stand on. It’s not all that different from the world the early church faced. About 60 years after Jesus rose from the dead, the church found itself struggling and trying to hold on to its identity as God’s people in the middle of pressure, persecution, and distraction. It’s into that world that Jesus speaks — through the Apostle John in the Book of Revelation — to seven real churches in real cities. His words are both comforting and challenging. They offer encouragement and correction, praise and warning. And they aren’t just ancient words for ancient people… they’re words for us today. So as we study these letters together, let’s not just read what Jesus said to them, let’s be ready to hear what He wants to say to us. Because his voice still speaks and He’s still shaping His Church today. This Sunday, Lead Pastor Ryan Paulson will speak from Revelation 3:14-22 in his sermon message, “A Letter to Self-Sufficient People.”
