Calling Over Comfort

When Life Smells Like Fish

Have you ever felt completely qualified one moment… and completely unqualified the next? Jonah knew what it meant to hear God’s voice. He also knew what it meant to run from it. This week we continue our "Modern Day Jonah" series and step into one of the most honest moments in Scripture — the place where Jonah finally stops running, finds himself with nowhere left to look, and remembers the Lord. What happens when we find ourselves stuck? When our plans fail? When we realize we can’t rescue ourselves? Jonah discovers something we all need to hear: grace isn’t something we earn, negotiate, or deserve. It’s a gift. Join us as we explore what it means to stop striving, look toward the cross, and discover that salvation belongs to the Lord. Listen. Look. Then live.

Modern Day Jonah

Most of us know Jonah as the prophet who ran from God. But beneath the surface is a story about a man who struggled to trust God's heart—for others and for himself. The truth is, nobody is above running. We run from difficult conversations, difficult people, difficult callings, and sometimes from the very places where God wants to meet us. But when we run from God, we don't just leave behind our purpose—we leave behind the presence we were created for. Join us as we launch our new series, Modern Day Jonah, and discover how the story of Jonah ultimately points us to a better Prophet, a better Savior, and a God who never stops pursuing us. No matter how far you've run, His grace can still find you there.

Worship

We all worship something. The question isn't whether we're worshippers—it's whether we're giving our worship to someone truly worthy of it. As we conclude our 1 > 99 series, we'll explore how an encounter with the living God changes everything. When we see God for who He truly is, our minds are renewed, our hearts are transformed, our priorities shift, and our lives begin to tell a different story. Worship is more than singing songs on Sunday. It's surrender. It's trust. It's recognizing that we are not the hero of the story—Jesus is. Join us as we discover what happens when we stop asking God to fit into our plans and instead allow Him to reshape every part of our lives. #1GreaterThan99 #Worship #RefugeChurch #InOjaiAsItIsInHeaven

1 > 99 : Community

We all long for connection, purpose, and a place to belong. But the kind of life Jesus offers isn't found by simply being around people—it's found by walking through Him. This week in our 1 > 99 series, we're exploring how Jesus, the Good Shepherd, invites us into a community marked by protection, healing, purpose, and real relationships. In a culture that often settles for isolation, distraction, or surface-level connection, Jesus calls us into something deeper. What does it look like to stay spiritually alive? How do we keep Jesus at the center when other things compete for our attention? And what happens when God uses community not just to comfort us, but to challenge us, heal us, and help us grow? Join us as we look at the invitation Jesus extends to each of us through the doorway of His grace. #1GreaterThan99 #Community #GoodShepherd #RefugeChurch #InOjaiAsItIsInHeaven

Truth: The Foundation of Everything

Does truth actually exist? In a world full of “your truth” and “my truth,” we’ll look at what Scripture says about THE truth — Jesus himself — and what it means to be a church that refuses to compromise on it. We’ll explore how to find truth, take refuge in it, wield it as a weapon in spiritual battle, and share it with the lost sheep around us in a way that is both bold and loving. Whether you’re searching for truth or ready to help someone who is, this message is for you.
