Epic Church, Philadelphia

You don’t have to have just an “I hope so” faith. You can have an “I know so” faith.

In this story, Jesus tells us how to escape anxiety and find the deepest kind of peace.

We all have places and things we go to for temporary relief. We learn from one woman’s story, though, what we can do to actually be satisfied instead of just pacified.

It’s so easy to reject those who reject us, and to hurt those who have hurt us. In an interaction Jesus has with a man named Zacchaeus, we see Jesus take a completely different approach.

If you decide to follow Jesus, you learn that it costs you something. But what do you miss out on by not following Jesus?

They say knowledge is power--which is true, but often, knowledge isn’t enough. To live the life God has for us, we need something beyond just knowing.

Christians are stuck between two powerful influences: Jesus saying, “Go and share” and American culture saying, “Don’t talk about that.” So how do we share our faith in a culture that frowns upon people talking about their faith?

Culture has a lot to say about who you are and what determines your value. Here’s how to go against the current and discover what God says about you.

In our culture, the current of “More” is incredibly strong: we’re convinced we always need more. To experience the life God has for us, though, less is often more.

We all know what it’s like to be “done wrong” by someone. What we don’t always realize is that our response is one of our greatest opportunities to do more than what’s expected.

Like water, we often take the path of least resistance. But there are times when it’s best to go against the flow. Here’s how to start.

We want to consistently ask ourselves, “How can I be an agent of God’s love today?” and then do it. It’s what our city needs. It’s what our circles need. It’s what we need.

When we look at all of the needs around us, it’s easy to think, “What can I possibly do?” But there’s great news—we can do so much together.

Serving others is about more than checking off a box or a task. It’s about the relationships formed. The relationships we make are one of the clearest pictures of love we can offer one another.

Why would a group of people stack hands to serve, give to, and love our city all month long? Ultimately, because of God’s love for us.

We live in a hybrid world of digital and physical that has changed just about everything we do—including church. If you fail to plan, you plan to fail. This week, Pastor Kent and Pastor Jake are talking about the plan for our new model of church.
