THIS WEEK'S SERMON

We Love Our City

March 17, 2024

In a time when it often feels like the local culture pushes us away from God's calling, it can be tempting to think that moving elsewhere is the solution. However, we are reminded that God placed us here in this particular place, for this particular time. Our mission is to bring heaven to Earth, not look for it elsewhere.

We want our city to see, through our actions, that we genuinely care about people. At Rise, we do that by welcoming people in our doors and creating a space for people to feel seen and loved.

Listen in to the latest message in our series "We Are Rise" as we explore the power of being radically hospitable...because We Love Our City!

  • Meet Julia! 💕 Julia is the lead over the Young Adults Worship team at Rise! She has been going to Rise since January of 2021. If she isn’t at Rise you can find her at work at Sugar Cubed! 🧁 1️⃣ How long have you been at Rise? And how did you find Rise? I have been at Rise since January of 2021. I found out about Rise through my sister Deidre. She invited me to go to her house church one night and I decided to give it a try! 2️⃣ On a Sunday, what is your favorite part to experience? My favorite part on a Sunday is the definitely the worship. There’s so much freedom to truly worship Jesus and I love the safe space that is created when doing so. 3️⃣ If you could travel back in time and see one bible story play out before your eyes what would you want to see? To watch Jesus walk on water. I would probably faint, but for Him to call out Peter’s name and say “come to me.” In the middle of a storm, just shocks me every time. I love this story because often times, life gets so messy, and Jesus literally states come to me, all who are weary, and I will give you rest. This story is such a good reminder that we are never alone throughout our lives. 4️⃣ What is something you really enjoy about Rise? When I walk into Rise on a Sunday (or really any day) not only do I feel excited, but I feel so much peace and joy with the people around me! I get excited to serve, even if i am  exhausted. Our focus is all about Jesus, and I think that’s what I love the most about Rise. There truly is joy in the house of the Lord! 5️⃣ Fun fact about yourself/a little bit about you! Fun fact about me is I own a guinea pig named ginger. Ask my anything about Taylor swift or Disney and I gotchu! I’ve been married for 7 months! We love you Julia! Give her some love in the comments. 🤩
  • WE ARE RISE. 🤩 We are a bunch of nobodies. Trying to tell everybody. About Somebody! We are a collective with the same goal, purpose and vision....to saturate our city with the gospel. We are filled with hope for the lost, love for the broken and passion for the work of Jesus. Will you join us? The journey is only beginning. 💥
  • The Gospel is the story of God redeeming and restoring all things through Jesus. The Gospel is not elementary, the Gospel is foundational. Everything we do is built upon the story of what Jesus has already done. The Gospel is a story. This is why the Gospel starts with creation: we were created to spend eternity in good relationship with God. That story tells us there was The Fall, when humans rejected relationship and chose self instead. Yet God did not leave us in that state of death; The Father sent Jesus to live the life we could not live in order to pay the cost of sin we could not pay. He redeemed us, set us free from the penalty of sin and death. And one day, He will restore all things for all of eternity for all who are found in Him! In the Gospel, our debt is paid by Jesus. In the Gospel, our relationship is restored through Jesus. In the Gospel, our eternity is secured by Jesus. Jesus did what we could never do to allow us to experience what we could never have apart from Him. (1) Jesus didn’t come to make bad people good, He came to make dead people live. And so all we say, do, make, teach, build, and share is rooted in the good news of the Gospel. We do not move beyond the Gospel, we move deeper into the Gospel. (1) Romans 8:3

  • We are still not over Sunday! 994 adults and 275 kids came to celebrate with us! AND 25 people publicly declared Jesus as their savior. Jesus is so good, is He not? We are so incredibly blown away by Him. P.S: photos are ready from baptisms! Comment “PHOTO” if you want to check out the incredible photos from Sunday!!
  • Jesus is why we are here. Jesus is why we exist. Jesus is why we serve. Jesus is why we gather. Jesus is why we sing. Jesus is why we love. Jesus is why we preach. Jesus is OUR WHY. He is unrivaled, unmatched, and unchanging. He is God, He is Good, and He is Glorious. (1) He is the only one who could ever save (2), the only one with power to raise the dead to life (3), and the only one that’s worth surrendering your life to. (4) We, the Church, are a people of The Word. We are guided by and founded upon the truths of Scripture. And the Hero of the Bible is Jesus. It all points to Him.(5) So we will be uncompromisingly all about Jesus. Our goal is not to get people to church–our goal is to get people to Jesus. Because if people can meet Jesus, they will see that Jesus is better. We are a bunch of nobodies, trying to tell everybody about Somebody.
