It's A Mystery to Me (week1): Mass as Mystery

Is the Mass just something Catholics do every week, or is there something much deeper happening? In Week 1 of It's A Mystery to Me, we explore how the Mass is an invitation to encounter Jesus in ways we often overlook and why approaching it with curiosity and wonder can change everything.

The Whole Story (week 5): Trust the Author

The most repeated command in all of Scripture is, “Do not be afraid.” As we conclude The Whole Story, we discover that the Bible isn't the story of fearless people, but of a faithful God. The more we know the God revealed in Scripture, the more we can trust him with our own story.

The Whole Story (week 4): Step Into the Story

The Bible isn't just the story of what God did in the past. It's an invitation to participate in what God is still doing today. In Week 4, we explore how God consistently calls ordinary people into an extraordinary mission, from the people of Israel, to the disciples, and ultimately, to us. What if the story God is writing includes you?

The Whole Story (week 3): Don’t Miss the Point

John 3:16 may be the most famous verse in the Bible, but do we really understand what it means? This message explores how Jesus reveals the heart of God and why he is the lens through which we read all of Scripture.

The Whole Story (week 2): The Spirit Speaks

If the Bible was written by many human authors with different personalities and styles, how can it be called the Word of God? Or to put it another way: What does it really mean to say that the Bible is inspired by God? This message explores how the Holy Spirit speaks through Scripture–and how that changes how we approach reading the Bible.

The Whole Story (week 1): The Story We’re In

The Bible can feel confusing, random, or intimidating. But what if it’s actually telling one connected story and your life is part of it? In Week 1 of The Whole Story, we explore how Scripture is not just information about God, but an invitation into a relationship with him and a story that is still unfolding.

Go! (week 6): A Reason for Your Hope

Faith was never meant to stop with us. In the final message of this series, we look at how Jesus sends ordinary people into everyday places to bring hope, joy, and love to others. Through simple conversations, invitations, and acts of love, we can give people a reason for the hope we have found in Jesus.

Go! (Week 5): From Stuck to Sent

We all want our lives to matter, but how do we actually live with purpose? In this message, we look at a moment when the early Church hit a wall, and how everything changed when people stepped up to serve. Serving isn’t just about helping out. It’s one of the primary ways God works through your life. What might happen if you said yes to one small step?

Go! (Week 4): Follow the Voice

In a world full of competing voices, it’s easy to follow whoever is loudest. Jesus says his sheep recognize his voice and follow him as he leads them to abundant life. This week, we explore how to turn down the noise and make space to hear the voice that leads you where you’re meant to go.

Go! (Week 3): Change Direction

You’re busy. You’re moving. But where is your life actually heading? This week we explore how an encounter with Jesus can change your direction–and how that still happens today through relationships, Scripture, and the Eucharist.
