Reach Church

Join us as we begin a new sermon series exploring one of the most prominent characters in the bible, David.

God created every person in His image to reflect His glory and live in relationship with Him, but sin has distorted this sacred design, leaving humanity captive to idolatry and self-worship. Jesus liberates us and progressively renews us to reflect God's character in how we love, serve, and worship—becoming truly free as we become what we were always meant to be.

Why does Reach exist? We exist to love and be loved by Jesus. And we’re inviting everyone to know Him, become like Him, and join Him as He makes all things new. In this message, we'll walk through each movement of this mission—exploring how Jesus' love for us overflows into invitation, transformation, and participation in His kingdom work in the Northwest and beyond.

What would it look like for the Northwest to look like Heaven? This message casts a vision of God’s Kingdom—alive, advancing, and present—right where we live, and asks one defining question: Where do you want to see the Kingdom happen in 2026?

At the climax of human history, God arrives not with spectacle but with startling humility. Jesus is born into the ordinary rhythms of empire, travel, and obscurity—yet announced by angels and received by shepherds. This is the beginning of a story that honors the lowly, dignifies the overlooked, and reveals a God who comes down in personal, loving pursuit of his people.

Mary’s Magnificat is the first and most famous Christmas carol. But before she sings this song, Mary journeys from courage to worship, from submission to joy—and the catalyst is Spirit-filled community. This is the story of how two expectant women, filled with the Holy Spirit, announce the dawn of redemption in Jesus the Messiah.

The good news of Jesus begins with an angelic visit to an ordinary girl in an unremarkable town. But the message Mary received was nothing short of extraordinary; a profound proclamation that the King of Heaven is coming close.

As we conclude our study of the Beatitudes, Jesus names the cost of peacemaking: persecution, misunderstanding, and resistance. Yet, He also promises a reward so glorious that it transforms suffering into joy. This Sunday, we'll discover what seems impossible: rejoicing in suffering, finding blessing in persecution, and experiencing the kingdom of God where we would least expect to find it.

Jesus meets us in the middle of our rebellion, exchanging our hostility for His perfect peace. Now His love empowers us to carry His shalom—God’s wholeness and restoration—into every place we go.

Matthew 5:8 is not a call to moral performance or behavior modification—it’s an invitation to simple devotion. It’s a continual turning of the heart—away from everything else, and toward Him, again and again. 

We love keeping score. Culture says pay them back; Jesus says give them mercy. The kingdom runs on compassion - and we’re not just recipients of mercy, we’re carriers of it.

In a world that promises satisfaction through success, comfort, and achievement, Jesus offers something radically different: righteousness as a gift, not a goal. This Sunday, we'll discover how seeking God's kingdom leads to the only satisfaction that truly lasts—and why the more we're filled, the more we hunger for Jesus.

What if real power isn’t found in control, but in surrender? In this message, we explore how Jesus redefines meekness—not as weakness, but as strength harnessed by grace, like a mighty war horse responding to its rider’s touch. Discover how living under the Spirit’s control transforms frustration into peace and strength into purpose.

What if the Kingdom of God begins right where you feel most empty? Jesus calls the spiritually bankrupt and the brokenhearted not failures, but citizens. As we begin our series walking through the Beatitudes, we’ll discover that the good life begins in the least likely places.

God’s presence isn’t an impersonal force or a passing feeling. It’s Him. And our commitment to keep Jesus at the center hasn’t changed. As we wrap this series and step into a new season at Juanita High, we’ll turn our eyes to Him again and marvel at the wonder of His presence with us.

Since 2012, Reach has existed to “Be the Church and Reach the City” with the love of Jesus. As we conclude our season gathering at Northwest University, we consider again Jesus’ Great Commission to us, and take courage in the fact that our witness doesn't begin with our qualifications or with what we feel equipped to do, but with humble dependence on the presence of God.

God’s vision of family goes deeper than biology—it’s the very heartbeat of His Kingdom. In Christ we are adopted into God’s family, recipients of His healing, and entrusted with passing His covenant love to the next generation.

Evil is real, but it is not ultimate. In Ephesians 6, Paul calls the church not to fear, not to hate, and not to hide—but to stand firm in the strength of Christ. This is a call to lament honestly, see clearly, and live faithfully as salt and light in an evil day.

We sense that the Lord is inviting our church into greater dependence and simplicity in this season. As we kick off this new series, we’ll look to Psalm 127 as a call for our community to embrace humble dependence, partnership, and trust in His provision.
