Experience Church San Francisco

When we live the Jesus culture of the early desciples, it will reflect and glorify God in such a way that we never want anything less for ourselves, our family, friends, neigbors and colleagues.

Christians need a holistic community. God doesn't want us to hide but to acknowledge the need for him and for one another. In a community, we are known and know each other.

Gospel-centered generosity is a heart ready for joyful and extravagant giving. But if we haven't learned how to receive, we don't know how to give - we can't give what we don't have.

Sometimes we are not as successful as we know we should be - because we are working in disagreement with God, ourself and others. The good news: when things are different, they can get into agreement.

Does God want us to believe for the miraculous? Absolutely! The question is whether or not our hearts are open enough to receive them and whether or not our faith is big enough to operate in his power.

Communion is not just the Lord's supper - it is also the way that the Lord works in our lives. Are you in the taking, blessing, breaking or giving season?

If we want to pray like the early Christians, we have to change the way we pray and the way we act - maybe we are already the answer to somebody's prayer.

The early believers devoted themselves to teaching and to fellowship: the word of God leads us into relationship and community. But we are hardly devoted to anything or anyone but ourselves.

We've lost our passion for the preaching of the word - we've settled for solo teaching through books and blogs when Jesus meant it to be something experienced in community.

The revolutions that started in San Francisco are nothing compared to the revolution that started in a room filled with apprehension, anticipation and devotion.

There is only one way to share the Gospel: boldly. Are you ready to see what happens when boldness to share the Gospel becomes our number one prayer request?

Because of our fallen nature, we're biased toward self-protection, self-pleasing and self-serving. But the power of the Gospel releases the giver in us.

When Jesus healed the ten lepers, he was sad to see that only one returned to thank him and to experience a much bigger miracle - the miracle of a relationship. Are we like the nine or like the one?

The Gospel is the power of God - supernatural and goes far beyond our understanding, our efforts and abilities. We must not be ashamed of its transforming power that changes everyone who believes.

We are taking a look at 14 metaphors for the Gospel - and how the Gospel will set us free from heart idols that might even sound worthy to be pursued.

We all value different things differently - what does God honor? If we would fully understand how much God values us, we would change our priorities.

The presence of the Lord isn't here to make us feel good - it's here to enable us.

Do we think our problems are bigger than God's power? Do we compare the little we think we can do against what God has called us to do? And do we compare ourselves with others? Then we live in a comparison and measurement mentality.

Have you ever been bit by religion? Religion bites with judgement and condemnation. But God's abundant grace brings healing and restoration.

Purpose has nothing to do with your place or space. It has nothing to do with your address or location, position or persuasion - purpose can exist in spite of anything.
