Reach Church

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.

For most people, the word “authority” has negative connotations. But authority is a good thing if the one who possesses it is good. Jesus uses his authority to serve, to love, and to empower disciples to walk in his authority for those same purposes.

Jesus has no patience for fruitless, empty religion. In this sequence of encounters with a fig tree and in the temple, Jesus condemns man-made efforts to cover up sin, and points to how, in just a few short days, he will fulfill the grand promises God made to his people so many years prior.

God uses his followers as the primary instrument to fulfill his mission to restore and redeem all of creation. As ambassadors of hope, disciples are now called to live day to day life on mission for God.

As followers of Christ we are called to live in community just as God himself IS community. By looking at the early church we see an example of what a faithful community looks like and what we are to called to strive for today.
