During the crucifixion, most people deserted and abandoned Jesus — but a few remained at His side. In the dying moments of Jesus, He addressed a few individuals or ‘friends of the cross’ and by examining these interactions, we can learn a lot about our Savior and what it means to follow Him today.

Jeff & Natalie co-preach the next message in this series and it’s all about shame. Just like anxiety, we’re promised freedom in scripture but there is a gap between the biblical promises and our everyday life. For most of us, shame is a recurring battle and in this message we’ll learn how to stand with Christ, fight against shame, and embrace the promises of a life with God.

Life is a Rodeo: it’s thrilling and adventurous but also filled with struggle and pain. Jeff begins our new series by discussing a topic that impacts us all: anxiety! How does the Bible talk about anxiety? What kind of promises do we find in our relationship with Jesus when it comes to peace and freedom? And when it comes to my life today: How can I partner with God to experience relief? Join us as we tackle the universal and growing problem of anxiety.

Continue the Kingdom Living series, listen in as we explore the picture of the early church in Acts 2 and discover how shared life, joyful generosity, worship, and mission draw us closer to Jesus and one another. If you’re longing for deeper connection, meaningful community, and a faith that’s lived out—not just believed—this sermon will invite you into the kind of life Jesus always intended for His people.

Fear wants to control you. Scientifically, fear actually shrinks your brain’s ability to process, and spiritually, it can create a host of problems. How did believers experience fear, and what can Galatians teach us about how to find freedom? Listen in as Jeff continues our summer series by looking at Paul’s response to fear.

Jeff continues our series in Galatians by examining Paul’s call to ministry. What can we learn about our own calling by how God interacted with Paul, how Paul responded to God, and how the community & church surrounded Paul in the days after his conversion to Christianity? Listen in as we explore how ‘nobody’ knows it all, ‘nobody’ gets there immediately, and ‘nobody’ is too far gone.

At a time of rapid secularization in our culture, dropping church attendance, the tendency towards living a “remote life” and the pull to just stay home and chill, how do we up our commitment to Jesus and to the Church?

Bristow Hood invites Jacquie Bond and Josh Kalsbeek to discuss their life-changing experiences with small groups. As a country, we have lots of stuff. Yet for all we have, we lack connection. Sunday mornings at church are great, but it is a hard place to create and develop relationships. Instead, we can connect and grow with people in a small group. Though they can be difficult, they can transform our lives.
