Reach Church - Everett

Your soul was never meant to be satisfied with temporary things. When Jesus says “I am the bread of life,” he’s revealing that he has and is exactly what we need.

No matter how great the storm, we have a God who meets us in the middle of it and gets us to the other side.

When we’re in a season of great need, often our best attempted solutions fall short. Fortunately, Jesus is the kind of leader who knows how to handle our needs.

“You Were Never Alone.” Spiritual wanderer? Apathetic church-goer? Perhaps somewhere in between? No matter where you’re at, God is ready to receive you with open arms. Take one step towards Him and He’ll sprint towards you with nothing but love in His eyes.

Your existence is not an accident. Your identity is greater than you know. Your life has a purpose, and Jesus offers direction on where to find it.

Our culture is filled with people who are both wildly successful and profoundly unsatisfied. Are you willing to consider the possibility that satisfaction comes not in the acquisition of things, nor the performing of works, but in the knowledge of a particular person?

Often, our most hopeless moments are those marked by our perceived inability to realize lasting life change. But what if, through the power of what the Gospel makes possible, real change was not only achievable, but an inevitable? In our sin, we became distinctly other than God. But through Jesus, we can regain what was lost as we are re-made holy once again through his power.

When you’re caught in the middle of a storm in your life, what do you do? Is there hope that you’ll hit solid ground? Absolutely, because Jesus sustains.

Everyone is enslaved to something, and some things enslave us all. We need a redeemer who can remove guilt, alleviate fear, defeat evil, and conquer death. So, can we be set free? Yes, because Jesus Saves.

We’re called into community, but not for community’s sake alone. God’s plan for his people is connected to his mission. What’s the mission? Letting the Good News spill out into every nook and cranny. As a result, broken hearts are restored and God’s family grows.

Are you led more by your head or your heart? Often in following Jesus, we're prone to prioritizing one over the other. But it's not either/or. It's both/and. When it comes to the Christian life, the Gospel should compel us to worship and worship should point us back to the Gospel.

Prayer was never meant to be complicated. But Jesus knew that we, being human, would tend to convolute the simple things. So He gave us a practical template from which to pray specifically and simply.

This series has been one of asking the question, “Is Jesus at the center of my life?” The logical follow-up question is, "What happens if He’s not?" What would the consequences be?

We don't just go to church, we ARE the church! Which is a handy realization when "snowmageddon" hits the PNW. Despite the school district canceling all weekend happenings (including our gathering), we still have ways to be encouraged collectively by God's word. Hence, this video! Our friend, Josh Siegel, will share a brief but timely word with us about what God has truly called us to, and what our appropriate response might look like. So grab your family, some friends, or whoever's around, and take a moment this Sunday to worship Jesus together as you hear God's word for you today.

If the things Jesus say about Himself are reliable, then we too can live lives that speak reliably about Him.

Who has authority in your life? Are there voices that shouldn’t? What if Jesus is asking you to trust that his authority is what you actually need?

We all desperately desire rest. Chances are, you’re not getting the kind of rest you need. Fortunately, God has a method that, should we take it seriously, could change our lives entirely.

In John 5, we find a story about Jesus healing someone who wasn’t expecting it. But stories like this often address more than what’s on the surface. When Jesus heals, he’s always pointing towards a greater healing that is yet to happen.

When Jesus offers “rest” to the weary in Matthew 11, what does that actually look like? It looks like an invitation — not to living idle, but to living with intentionality and purpose.

Hey there, church! I'm so glad you decided to check out the resources we've made you for this Sunday. Even though we're not physically together this weekend, our hope is to equip you with useful tools to enjoy "church at home" wherever you're at. Up top is a 15-minute message to help you think through your approach to starting 2019. I've included a "Goal Setting Guide" PDF that accompanies the message as well. Print it out and utilize it in your goal setting this year. There's also a link to a video entitled, "A 4-year old explains the problem with New Year's resolutions." Honestly, I thought it was hilarious and might be fun for those of you with kids. Finally, we've added a direct link to our online giving portal. End of year giving obviously won't happen in-service, so you're invited to help advance the mission of the church by giving through the app. Gifts given by the 31st at 11:59pm will count towards the 2018 tax year. I hope you are encouraged and equipped as you work through this content. May
