The Comeback, Week 2

Last week we celebrated the greatest comeback ever: the resurrection of Jesus Christ. Yet while many of us love the emotion of a comeback story, when it comes to our own lives, many times it feels like the comeback won't happen like we think it should have. What do we do then? In this message from Acts 7, Pastor Skyler shares the story of Stephen, who called out the sin and hypocrisy of the Pharisees. Isn't this where Stephen should be shielded by God, as the Pharisees start stoning him? If God is so good, how do things happen like this in our lives? As it turns out, Stephen knew there was a bigger story playing out--bigger than his individual life.

Easter 2018 at Heritage Lake Zurich

 

We love underdog stories. Whether it's a sports game or a movie, we're inspired by comeback stories. Yet in our own lives, it's easy to start believing that a comeback just is not looking possible. 

 

On Easter morning, we introduced our new series entitled The Comeback. A key message is this: the greatest source of hope for any problem we have is Jesus. In this Easter morning message from Matthew 19, Pastor Skyler talked about the discussion between Jesus and a rich young man who thought he had it all together. It's not a story about money. Rather, it's a reminder about what is on the throne of our life. Jesus' response to His disciples is true for you today: "With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible." Please share this message with your friends and family, and join us this Sunday as we continue the series!

Known by our Community

What would you do if you knew you were going to die in 12 hours? For Jesus, it was to pour into the disciples. And a key instruction he left with them is this: Everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.

In this last message in our Known series, Pastor Andrew gives us a vision for what it could look like if we lived in our communities as people marked by love--for God and for those around us. Every human problem is an open door for the gospel. Watch this replay to be challenged to get off the bleachers and onto the field, to live out the role you have been uniquely equipped to play.

Known by Each Other

God's will is not for you to do life on your own--it's to be in community with others. Acts 2 gives us a glimpse of what this looks like. In this message, Pastor Carlos shares how life together begins by knowing Christ. We learn together. We care for each other. And we worship together. Join us for this reminder about the beloved community of Jesus Christ, where we become a family of brothers and sisters.

What did Moses, Noah, David, and all the other people in the Bible have in common? They were all known by God. And they and knew about Him, and being known changes everything.

XO Relationship Goals: Have Fun

Do you want to increase your likelihood of building a lasting marriage? Couples who are intentional about developing intimacy develop strong relationships. An old Calvin and Hobbes cartoon remarked, "It’s funny how day by day, nothing changes. But when you look back, everything is different.” Similarly, marriages can go from arms locked to arms folded.

XO Relationship Goals: Stay Pure

It's rare that a person wakes up and says, "Hey, I think I'll ruin my life and marriage today!" Yet sin is a slow killer of marriages and relationships.

We continue our series about building marriages and relationships on Biblical principles with this message by Pastor Carlos on holiness and purity. Contrary to what culture may think, holiness and purity bring freedom. Pastor Carlos shares lessons from Galatians 5 to help us see the struggle is real but you can win. There is hope in the God we serve.
