How do we define grace? In Acts 11, Luke paints a beautiful picture: grace is the presence of God, the power of God, and the gifts of God at work among the people of God.
This Sunday, Pastor Char Brodersen highlighted Barnabas—the son of encouragement—who stepped in to connect believers with one another and helped them recognize how God’s grace was at work among them.
May we live in that same way, making room for God to work through us and among us as he does a deep, transformative work in our lives, helping us to become "A Community of God’s Grace."

In today's message, Nicolette Walker takes us through the life of Ruth. Her story shows a woman who chose to believe in the fullness of God's faithfulness, even when she had not experienced it yet.

Jesus Christ Is Lord of All
October 4, 2026 • Char Brodersen
Access to God’s community comes only through Jesus Christ. Sometimes we find ourselves adding requirements and insisting that others adopt the same convictions and practices we do, as Peter did in Acts 10 and 11. But this passage reminds us that we simply must come to Jesus as we are to be included in the family of God.
Listen as Char Brodersen teaches that Jesus Christ is Lord of all.
Women's Community: First Thursday Gathering--Testimonies of Faithfulness
October 1, 2026
Every first Thursday of the month, we pause our normal study rhythms to reflect more deeply and personally on the faithfulness of God. Today, Jenn McBride and Kaili Isaacson share their stories of experiencing God's faithfulness to them.
The Depths of Redemption
September 27, 2026 • Hannah Colt
In seasons of waiting, we often find ourselves trying to rush the outcome or control the situation. But Psalm 130 tells us that it is God who gives the increase. The psalmist has cried out to God from the depths, received forgiveness, waited on the Lord, and invited all others to put their hope in the God who has love that does not fail.
Through sharing a powerful personal story, Hannah Colt explores the depths of redemption and reminds us that we can hope in the one who redeems and restores.
Women's Community Study 3: Faithfulness in Unfaithfulness
September 24, 2026 • Judges 2—5
As we look closely at the story of Deborah, Robin Lewis introduces us to this powerful example of spiritual authority, wisdom, and courage. Deborah was a woman who heard, obeyed, and was led by God--and we're reminded that we can be this woman, too. True leadership listens to God, and we all have those whom we influence whether we realize it or not. We can encourage others with the same courage we have been given, even when things in our life seem uncertain.

In this message, Jordan Taylor teaches from Study 3 as we look at Deborah's story in Judges.
The Ineffable Is Inescapably Intimate
September 20, 2026
Psalm 139 is a psalm for exiles—for all whose citizenship is in heaven as we look forward to the day when Jesus will rule over the new heavens and the new earth. Yet even as we wait, this psalm reminds us that the infinite God uses his greatness to draw near to us. Throughout the generations, God’s people have found comfort, confidence, hope, and peace in the profound truth that the God who is beyond us is also intimately acquainted with us. Listen as Richard Cimino expounds on the ineffable who is inescapably intimate.
Men's Community Study 2: Faithfulness in Injustice
September 20, 2026 • Richard Cimino • Genesis 37—50
In this message, Richard Cimino takes us through Study 2 on Joseph, in Genesis 37-50.
Women's Community Study 2: Faithfulness in Injustice
September 17, 2026 • Hannah Colt • Genesis 37—50
In this message, we view the story of Joseph through the lens of God's faithfulness. In Genesis 37-50, we see that Joseph does the same. When we come to this passage, we may find ourselves asking, "What kind of story is this? One of beauty or injustice?" The answer is, "yes!" It's both. While this story us fraught with injustice, it is also dripping with the presence of God. We see through Jospeh's story that God is faithful and favoring not just in the high places, but in the lowest. His faithfulness was the result of the knowledge of God's faithfulness to him. He was not overcome by evil, but overcame evil with good.
The Joy of Community
September 13, 2026 • Jordan Taylor
Blessing and flourishing flow from community. Many of us have experienced the destruction that sin can bring to a community, and the author of Psalm 133 knows these struggles firsthand. But we can find comfort in knowing that community, despite all its brokenness and pain, is the place where God works.
Listen as Jordan Taylor explores Psalm 133 and the joy of community.
Women's Community Study 1: The Undoing of Faithfulness
In this message, Hannah Colt takes us from the beginning of the redemptive timeline in Eden to the undoing of faithfulness at Babel. God had commissioned humanity to tend to and care for His world; humanity took what God had given to seek their own glory. The issue wasn't that they wanted to build a tower; the issue was where their heart was. We were reminded that productivity isn't always a sign of faithfulness and encouraged to receive the work God is already doing.

In this message, Kory Gaviria leads us through Study 1.
A Psalm for Settling in for the Long Haul
September 6, 2026
This Sunday, we looked at Psalm 131. This psalm is convicting in that it shows the ideal disciple as one who is quietly contented in God, even while they’re waiting for a long time.
Waiting will always be a part of our journey, but how we wait determines the kind of people we are becoming. Will we be those who are frantic, angry, distracted, and despairing? Or will we be those who settle deep into God and cultivate faith, hope, and love?
Listen as Char Brodersen walks us through “A Psalm for Settling in for the Long Haul."

Jesus Visits His Holy People
August 30, 2026 • Char Brodersen
What does it look like when Jesus visits his holy people?
In Acts 9, we witness two stories of two seemingly insignificant people. But are they? They don’t shake the world, move the times forward, or make the news headlines. Yet, as Char Brodersen points out, God’s favor rests on these “lowly” people. His holy, sacred saints are so valuable to him because he made them, because he loves them, and because he has compassion on their poverty and need.
These are Jesus’ holy people—the ones he visits, the ones to whom he shows his power, and the ones through whom his power is shown.
An Insider's Encounter With Jesus Messiah
August 23, 2026
How do you know if you’ve truly encountered Jesus? What does conversion look like? In Acts 9, we see the story of a man who was radically transformed after his encounter with Jesus Messiah, and it causes us to pause and consider our own stories.
Listen as Char Brodersen walks us through an insider's encounter with Jesus Messiah.
Philip and the Ethiopian on the Way
August 16, 2026 • Char Brodersen
The message of God is for everyone. Our God does not bar anyone from salvation and intentionally draws in those who are downtrodden, rejected, and afflicted. In the story of Philip, we see a practical example of how to be sensitive to the Spirit and welcome those who seek.
Listen as Char Brodersen teaches about Philip and the Ethiopian on the way.
The Mission of God and the Expansion of the Prophetic Community
August 9, 2026 • Char Brodersen
What does it mean to live on mission? In Acts 8, we learn that every member of the prophetic community proclaimed the gospel wherever they went, because they were sent by Jesus himself. YHWH has always been a sending God; His prophetic community has always been a sent people.
Char Brodersen shares how we can practically live as a Jesus formed community on mission and respond to the needs of our cities with the hope of Jesus. Listen as we learn about the mission of God and the expansion of the prophetic community.
