Join guest speaker Juan Meza, the Spanish language pastor at White Settlement Church of Christ, as he challenges us to align with the Ultimate Mission of the Church: spreading the good news of Jesus Christ. Meza draws on his experience working on his doctoral dissertation on Multicultural Churches to explain why diversity is essential to God's heart, requiring intentionality and difficult conversations instead of minimization or denial. Learn three key ways to stay focused on this mission—including practical tips for being a missionary right where you are—and why we desperately need to embrace the often-overlooked Power of the Holy Spirit to succeed.

Are you trying to hold onto control too tightly? Just like trying to grip a bike harder actually makes it more difficult to ride, the harder we try to control life, the harder it gets. Preaching Minister Kale Courtright wraps up "The Jesus Way" series by exploring why true Christian life begins with learning how to surrender and give up some control. We dive into Mark 8 as Jesus issues the challenging invitation to become his disciple, calling us to deny ourselves and take up our cross. Discover why pursuing individual happiness through self-interest is a "treadmill of self" that never stops, and how following Jesus's counterintuitive call to lose your life is the only way to save it and find peace.

Are you stuck trying to grow your faith? It's easy to be a spiritual philosopher, but much harder to become an apprentice of Jesus. In this message on The Jesus Way, we explore why you need more than motivation—you must intentionally "arrange your days" to find deep contentment, joy, and confidence in your everyday life with God. Learn how ancient Christians used a Rule of Life (a structure, like a trellis) to put a plan in place for following Christ, ensuring you stop being passively formed by the world and start maximizing your spiritual growth. Discover the core daily habits needed for transformation and making Jesus the main focus of your life.
