Reach Church

In the midst of one of the most contentious cultural moments in recent memory, how does God address our doubts around peace even being possible? He gives us 7 encouragements straight from the Gospel of John, and pushes us to see and share the suffering of others — the same way Jesus did for us.

The Trinity is not an abstract proclamation about God. It is an intimate invitation into the very life of God. Joshua Ryan Butler helps us gain a deeper understanding of the Trinity and its implications for our lives.

The Spirit-filled life is not about wanting something more THAN Jesus; but about wanting more OF Jesus. The Holy Spirit is the helper we need to obey God with love, and share God with boldness.

Our good friend, Jonathan Rainey (chaplain, Washington Huskies / Seattle Seahawks) shares an incredibly encouraging word about the power and practicalities of prayer, especially prayer in the midst of doubt.

What is the proper way to think about doubt as a person trying to grow closer to God? A quick survey of scripture shows two things: empowerment to be honest about the doubts you experience, and a God who pursues us in the midst of our doubts.

"Is Jesus God?" "Christianity seems too complicated." "What if I've been hurt by Christians in the past?" "I tried already, and failed." Our God is not intimidated by doubts and questions like these. As we continue studying the final night of Jesus' life, we see Jesus ramping up the compassion and the clarity for his closest friends...the same way he wants to for you.

For all of human history, people have been wrestling with the big questions of life — questions about death, freedom, isolation and meaning. In dark seasons like the one we face in the era of COVID-19, that wrestling becomes all the more common. How do we find the hope we all long for? By listening the right voice.

Pastor Brian McCormack interviews Rich Perez, a Pastor in New York City during the time of the Coronavirus crisis.

Why would Jesus invite someone into his inner-circle that he knew would betray him? There are several answers to that question, and they all center around things He wants YOU to know. If Jesus can use the darkest night in history to bring about ultimate good, you get to praise him in the midst of whatever darkness you face.

Jesus breaks from all expectations of a rabbi on Passover to do something typically only done by the lowliest of servants — he washes his disciples’ feet, and commands them to do the same for others. Before we can do what Jesus did, we must know the 3 things he knew that empowered him to love to the uttermost.

Who is Jesus? Why did he come? Is there hope for me? Do my decisions matter? How can I have eternal life?

Some see but don’t believe. Others say they believe, but don’t speak up. We are a church that does all three — especially when those around us are hungry for hope.

The loyal love of God. Our relentless trust in God. Our commitment to the mission of God. On our first day of gathering online, we highlight these three things by featuring several trusted voices of hope from within our church family.
