MISSIO: ALIVE - Not a Checklist - You Don't Have to Force It (2026.05.31)
Galatians 5:1, 13-25
The fruit of the Spirit is not something you produce. It is something that grows. This week we open the second movement of Missio in Galatians 5 — and ask what it really means to follow Jesus in the ordinary places where you already are. Not a performance. Not a program. Just a life the Spirit is growing in you whether you feel it or not.
MISSIO: SENT - The Arrival (2026.05.24)
Acts 2:1-21
Pentecost is here! Wind. Fire. Languages filling the streets of Jerusalem. And a community born in a single morning that has never stopped.
Pentecost is not something that happened two thousand years ago to other people. The Spirit that filled that room is present right now. This is not a journey into history. This is the story we are living in.
Pentecost did not end. We are living in it.
MISSIO: SENT - Something is About to Break Open SPECIAL
Acts 1:12-14 | Joel 2:28-29
Something Is About to Break Open. The Night Before Pentecost -One hundred and twenty followers gathered and praying in an upper room. And a prophet named Joel who saw this moment coming five hundred years before it happened. This message is about what it means to wait inside a promise — and what happens when God keeps it. The promise was spoken before we were born. And God keeps it.
MISSIO: SENT - You Will Be My Witnesses 05/17/2026
Acts 1:8 | Luke 24:44-48
A witness does not need a script. A witness just needs a story. In this message we look at what Jesus meant when he told his followers they would be his witnesses - and it has nothing to do with pressure, performance, or having the right answers. It starts in Jerusalem. The people already in front of you. The relationships you already have.
MISSIO: SENT - The Art of Waiting 05/10/2026
Acts 1:8 | Luke 24:44-49
What do you do while you wait? After the resurrection, Jesus gave his followers one instruction before Pentecost — stay. Don't go yet. Wait. In this message we follow two heartbroken followers on the road to Emmaus, watch their eyes open when Jesus breaks bread, and discover what faithful waiting actually looks like from the inside.
MISSIO: SENT - Some Things Have to End 05/03/2026
John 16:5-15 | Acts 1:4-5, 8
Some things have to end for the next thing to begin. That is what Jesus told his grieving followers the night before his crucifixion. And in this homily we look at what he promised was coming — the Holy Spirit, who illuminates rather than condemns, guides rather than pushes, and is already at work in your week before you even get there.
MISSIO: SENT - He Did Not Leave You Orphaned 04/19/2026
John 14:15-18, 25-27 | Acts 1:4-5, 8
What happens to faith between Easter and fall? For most people — and most communities — something quietly drifts. This homily names that honestly and offers something better: Missio, the season of the church in motion. We open in John 14, where Jesus speaks directly into the fear of people who are about to be left behind, and makes a promise that changes everything about what it means to be sent.
The Long Return - Welcome Home (Luke 15) 03/22/2026
In Luke 15:20–32, a waiting father sees his son still a long way off and runs — interrupting the rehearsed apology with a robe, a ring, a feast, and the words that have anchored this entire series: "this my son was dead and is alive again, he was lost and is found." The son had talked himself all the way down to hired servant, but the father's love restored him fully and immediately without conditions — not because of who the son was, but because of who the father is. And that is good news for every one of us.
