Experience Church San Francisco

It's easy to hear the story of the prodigal son and his mad brother - but have we ever thought about the father, his motivation and his love for his sons?

Do we just live with an appetite for God or do we have a true hunger and thirst for righteousness? It's easy to fake Christianity, but our experience needs to be deeper than just a set of ideas.

Introduction to our new series MORE where Pastor Mark reintroduces us to the person, nature, and work of the Holy Spirit.

Your best life is having a story of his miraculous encounter with you and in you - for his glory and purpose. Because nothing is too hard for God.

Strength is more than a physical or emotional condition but a spiritual condition. We can learn from Samson's story what causes us to lose our strength and how to get it back.

What we think about our best life might be very different from what God thinks about it. To find out about his purpose, we need to look at our identity - and we might be in for a surprise.

The story of the prodigal son is not just about the son who went without being sent, it's also about the son who stayed - yet even though he seemed to be a model son, his heart was missing.

Did you ever wonder why Nicodemus went to Jesus at night? Was it because all those thoughts, feelings and questions he was able to suppress during the daytime were now in his mind loud and clear?

A poetic drama about Jesus last hours, followed by a challenging message that looks at Easter from a very different perspective.

Which excuses do you make that are keeping you from the best life Jesus has for you - and from coming to the table and pulling up a chair at the feast he has for you?

Disciple and discipleship are words we often hear and most likely have used a few times ourselves. But do we know what true discipleship really means?

Do we really believe that the good news is good? Then how have made something that magnificent and extraordinary into such a miserable and ordinary experience?

Honoring someone on a daily basis can become tough because that person doesn't feel special anymore - but God wants us to honor one another so he can bless us.

Honor is more than curteous words - honor is an issue of the heart. The Bible shows us four divisions of authority and gives us specific guidelines how to honor each one.

Honoring someone can be a rather abstract concept sometimes. What practical steps could we take if we want to honor our pastor?

Honor is a great and godly virtue. We love it and applaud it, but where is it in our everyday lives? Could our lack of honor, reverence, value and respect of Gold be restricting his mighty work in our lives?`

Sometimes we get trapped in the past - and the problem with that is that we end up unable to seize the present or to prepare for the future. But there is a difference between remembering something and being trapped in the memory of it.

If Joshua can make a bad alliance, it can happen to us, too. But we serve a God that can make our mistake into a miracle and our mess into a message.

Love communicates and love believes in other people - but we have to tell our story in a language that they are able to understand.

We believe that God can do wondrous things, yet we seldom ask him to do so. Instead, we are getting into alliances or career that we were never meant to be in - and now it's costing us.
