#2: "The Detached Life"

April 23, 2023 • Brad Parkhurst

Our entanglement with the world and its priorities is a huge hindrance to our ability to experience and hear from God in the day-to-day. If we are to receive more of God, we must first "detach" from what the world says is important, so that our entire lives may be reordered around our union with Jesus.

// THE VINE

Jesus promised his followers "life, and life in its ABUNDANCE".... So why is it that so few of us actually experience this "fullness" of life in the day-to-day? We only begin to receive it when we (1) understand that we have been brought into UNION with Jesus, and (2) reorder our lives so we are able to receive his life, rest, and joy.

#1: "The Deep"

April 16, 2023 • Brad Parkhurst

Too many of us have been living in a "shallow" Christianity, while God Himself is beckoning us from the deep. This is the deep life God wants for us: to know that we are ONE with Jesus, and to know Him personally in such a way that we begin to experience Him and hear from Him every day. // THE VINE Jesus promised his followers "life, and life in its ABUNDANCE".... So why is it that so few of us actually experience this "fullness" of life in the day-to-day? We only begin to receive it when we (1) understand that we have been brought into UNION with Jesus, and (2) reorder our lives so we are able to receive his life, rest, and joy.

#3: "Good Soil"

April 30, 2023 • Brad Parkhurst

In this message on Union with Jesus, we enter into the practice of cultivating the soil of our hearts so that we are able to receive God's words and see it produce fruit in our lives. // THE VINE Jesus promised his followers "life, and life in its ABUNDANCE".... So why is it that so few of us actually experience this "fullness" of life in the day-to-day? We only begin to receive it when we (1) understand that we have been brought into UNION with Jesus, and (2) reorder our lives so we are able to receive his life, rest, and joy.

#4: "True Revival"

May 7, 2023 • Brad Parkhurst

Every "revival" movement in history has started with individuals, because God is most interested in reviving YOU! As followers of Jesus, we want more awareness of His presence and passion for His name. We want to see God's will done on earth as in heaven, which is why we pray that God would stir revival in us, in our city, and in our world. // THE VINE Jesus promised his followers "life, and life in its ABUNDANCE"....
