Reach Church

Sometimes it takes a sermon with just one point to make something sink in. The same Spirit that raised Jesus from the dead lives in us.

Hope is a universal need — we all long for it. The risen Jesus declares that hope is in him, and that hope is available. * A note from Pastor Brian: In this sermon I refer to an article claiming that a first-century historical account of Jesus performing a miracle had been found. Shamefully, I did not check my sources well, and the article was revealed as an intentional deception by its author. Forgive me for not being more careful, and know I’m committed to not making such a mistake again. I pray you are no less inspired by the hope of the resurrection as you listen. He is alive!

If the tomb is empty, His promises are not. We have a living savior -- time to rejoice.

On the cross Jesus proves that he is willing to go to any lengths to make us sons and daughters of the King — so we can be loved like family, and live like family.

The death of Jesus accomplished more than most of us realize. On the cross Jesus takes our place, cleanses us of our sin, gives us his righteousness, declares us righteous, and eliminates the separation between us and God.

We can't get enough of these stories! Jeremy Vallerand and K.K. Devaraj share how Reach's generosity is making real impact in India.

Jesus is mocked, crucified and killed, accomplishing His work at the cross once and for all.

Like the ruler who handed Jesus over to be crucified, we have a choice to make: recognize who Jesus is, or wash our hands of Him.

Jesus stands before the council for an unjust trial. When we would have stayed silent, Jesus speaks up.

As Jesus is arrested, both His great power and great compassion are on display.

In the garden, Jesus gets a glimpse of the horror waiting for Him in the hours ahead. Terrified as He is, He shows us He is as committed to His mission as ever.

Have you accepted the fact that God's love for you is not dependent on your performance? Jesus foretells Peter's denial and reveals to us that even in our worst moments, His love for us remains.

Jesus goes way off the script of tradition. As He shares communion with His disciples, He shows the new covenant between God and us

Jesus shares the Passover meal with His disciples and alludes to His betrayer. In doing so, He shows us that God always keeps His promises.

Do you feel a genuine depth of relationship with God? A woman gives Jesus a precious gift and is ridiculed for her generosity.

Jesus highlights the incredible contrast between exploitation of the needy and giving out of sacrifice.

Have you ever waited for something for a really long time? Jesus further reveals Himself to the teachers of the law and to us as He references Himself in the Old Testament.

Sometimes life is overly complicated. Jesus simplifies things; explaining the most important commandments in all the Bible.

What does it look like to live in the present with eternity in mind? Jesus clarifies that there is in fact an afterlife.

Teachers of the law attempt to trap Jesus. His elegant response puts each of us on the spot.
