Purpose Church

Witness - For the Sake of Others - Ps. Aaron Snow

We've been confused about the mission. For too long, the church has been busy building while Jesus said HE would build His church. Our job? Go make disciples. Matthew 28:18-20 isn't a suggestion—it's our assignment. Jesus didn't call us to wait for people to come to us. He called us to GO. Your workplace, your neighborhood, your coffee shop—these are your mission fields. You don't need a theology degree. You just need your story and the Holy Spirit's power. This summer we're diving into Acts and learning what it means to be FILLED, SCATTERED, and SENT. Formation isn't just for you—it's for the sake of others. Who's in your Jerusalem? Your Judea? Your Samaria? The Great Commission is still the mission statement of the church, and it belongs to every ordinary person willing to share extraordinary good news. Witness isn't a spiritual gift some have and others don't. It's the commission of the church. The only question is: will we live like it?

Witness - Pentecost - Lincoln Snow

The green pasture isn't your destination—it's your launch pad. This Pentecost Sunday, Lincoln Snow reminded us that we're filled to GO, not filled to stay comfortable. Acts 1:8 promises: "You will receive POWER when the Holy Spirit comes on you, and you will be my witnesses." The pattern is clear: we're filled in the pasture, then sent into the valley. Not someday. Not when we feel ready enough. When the Spirit comes. Are you stuck in complacency, afraid to leave the comfort? Or rushing into the valley before your roots go deep? The pasture is where we're restored and equipped. The valley is where we use that power. Both matter. But staying in the pasture forever? That's not the assignment. The valley isn't ready for Purpose Church. Let's be witnesses right here, right now in our workplaces, schools, and streets. You've been filled. Now go.

Abide - Bear Much Fruit - Ps Aaron

What does a life fully connected to Jesus actually look like? After six weeks in our Abide series, we're discovering that staying connected to the Vine produces something beautiful: the fruit of the Spirit. Jesus mentions fruit NINE times in John 15. Paul lists NINE expressions of the Spirit's fruit in Galatians 5:22-23: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control. This isn't coincidence—it's intentional. When we abide in Christ, He forms us into a people of love. The question isn't whether you're trying harder or doing more. It's this: Are you becoming more loving? Would the people closest to you say you're growing in patience, kindness, and peace? That's the fruit of abiding. You didn't manufacture it—God grew it in you as you remained connected to Him. The vine is open. The invitation to abide in His love is for anyone willing to come and stay.

Abide - The Helper - Ps. Aaron Snow

"I will not leave you as orphans. I will come to you." - John 14:18 This Mother's Day, we explored one of Jesus' most powerful promises: you are never alone. Before leaving His disciples, Jesus didn't just say goodbye—He prepared a gift. The Helper. The Holy Spirit. The Comforter who stands by us in every valley, every season of pressure, and every moment we feel abandoned. Maybe you know the ache of abandonment. Maybe Mother's Day is complicated for you. Jesus sees you right where you are, and His love isn't based on your performance or your past. The password to everything the Father has for you is simply: "I love You, Jesus." You're not an orphan. You're a beloved son or daughter of the Father, and He is well pleased with you. The Spirit wasn't sent as an afterthought—He was prepared for you before you knew you needed Him.

Abide - Repotting - Ps. Aaron Snow

Are you complacent in the green pasture or feeling the pressure of an unfamiliar valley season? This Sunday, Pastor Aaron got vulnerable about the tension between comfort and growth—between remaining connected to the vine and the temptation to disconnect when things get uncomfortable. Just like plants need repotting to continue thriving, God sometimes calls us into new seasons that require new soil, new environments, and deeper roots. The question isn't whether pressure will come—it's whether we'll stay connected to the True Vine through it all. Peter ran back to what was familiar when things got hard. What about you? Are you abiding in His love even in the uncomfortable seasons, or are you unplugging from the relationship when the pressure builds? Our mission: to help reconcile the hearts of sons and daughters back to the love of the Father. Because when we truly know His love, the Church becomes the unstoppable force it was meant to be.
