Ericka Graham enters the parables of the lost in Luke 15, and invites us to consider the ways that God meets us in the midst of our longings and all that may feel less than whole. We are a people called to return home from our places of isolation, ever back into the kind of communion with one another that offers healing and belonging, and into God’s waiting and ever-present embrace.

Pastor Sean Palmer asks us to consider what both the Apostle Paul and Taylor Swift might teach us about living in a culture shaped by judgement. Whether the venom of words, or a viper dangling from our hand, part of growing in the confidence and maturity of our journey with God is learning how to… shake it off.

Our dear brother Gideon Tsang joined us once again; offering a reflection on God’s creative artistry, and the needed reminder of the loving gaze with which we are seen, even as we are prone to resist God’s affection.

Pastor Mitzi Mak concludes our series considering the Celtic way of evangelism. She explores the concept of an anam cara, or “soul friend”, while sharing stories from her life and relationships, and the transformative power of cultivating space where people know they are loved and that they belong, even amid our differences.

Pastor Sean Palmer continues our series considering the Celtic way of evangelism; entering into an important chapter in the life of the early church. Just as the Jews and Gentiles of the time had to learn how to live and worship together, we continue to navigate our own differences, and the expectations and burdens we wrongly place on others seeking a relationship with Jesus.

Pastor Wayne Brown continues our consideration of the Celtic Way of evangelism, sharing a message on the logos (form), pathos (passion), and ethos (essence) that guides us in our engagement with those we are called to invite into deeper communion with God and one another.

Teaching Pastor Sean Palmer continues our series on the Celtic Way of Evangelism. More than attempting to “convert” someone into a specific belief or way of thinking, it is when we commit to simple rhythms of invitation, vulnerability, fellowship, and sincere conversation that relationships are deepened and lives are changed.

Pastor Chris Seay introduces a new series on the Celtic Way of Evangelism. Through the story of St. Patrick, we are offered a glimpse of the kind of transformation and sharing of faith to which we are also called. As we meet others authentically and compassionately in the midst of their own stories and contexts, the presence of God will be revealed, and a genuine relationship with Jesus made possible.

Ericka Graham teaches on finding meaning within and around the seemingly mundane. There is great beauty and truth to be found in what appears at first to be ordinary, but may offer deeper insight into the ways we are called to presence with one another.

Pastor Chris Seay shares a message from Mexico City on our call to engagement as a church in many ways; locally, globally, and historically. Following Jesus will always lead us into places that others might deem “unsanitary”, but are where the Gospel thrives. Pastor Josue Trevino follows with an invitation into particular ways to serve alongside partners both in CDMX, and here at home in Houston.

We’re also joined by our good friend, Propaganda, who shares his gift as we celebrate. Ecclesia, we love you. He is risen!

Pastor Chris Seay begins our Holy Week journey with an invitation to consider how Jesus defied and upended expectation at every turn. Whether through imagery of donkeys and fig trees, or through surprising encounters in the Temple and the home of a leper, Jesus challenges every earthly assumption of power; a new kind of King for a new kind of Kingdom. Join us throughout Holy Week as we continue along the path to our Easter celebration.

Pastors Chris and Sean outline the beginning of our community approach, and the ways we are and will be called to engage during the season to come.

Join us as we continue engaging in rhythms of worship, prayer, and contemplation throughout this journey of Lent.

Gather with us over the coming weeks to hear more about how you can take part.

Ericka Graham leads us deeper into the desert of this Lenten season, considering the temptations and demons we all face throughout our journey. Just as the Tempter left Jesus for another opportune time, we will surely be met by temptation time and again, and must rely on the strength that Jesus has given us to stand firm in the past.

Pastor Sean Palmer invites us to continue our Lenten journey through the desert; sharing the story of Hagar and asking us to consider that, wherever we might find ourselves in the wilderness, God sees and is with us at every step.
