It's easy to look around and judge others -- and ourselves -- by superficial standards, and think we're doing alright and don't need God. Even for those who call themselves Christians. But when we don't look deeper, we risk pasting a fake veneer of proper living over a whole pile of spiritual junk. We end up self-congratulating and self-satisfied. Pastor Sam Mills illuminates how a genuine love and desire for God prompts us to clean out the spiritual junk of pride and hypocrisy that keeps us from walking in humility and compassion.

What could "good enough" possibly mean when measured against perfection? Pastor Jon Thompson guides us through Paul's words in Roman on humanity's crisis of sinfulness and how we cannot stand up to God's absolute goodness. Join as he discusses the unbound importance of repentance and the incredible gift of God's grace and mercy.

The word "Good" is only four letters long and is still an enormous word, far too big for humans. We all fail to be good and break away from the perfection that was designed by our Creator. This week, Pastor Jon Thompson continues through Romans to learn about how we humans fail but also how God had a plan to heal our broken relationship with Him through the sacrifice of His Son, Jesus.

We all need a refreshing season, one that builds back our hopes and renews our energies. For Sanctus, the word that sums up the next season for us is resurrection. Join Pastor Jon Thompson as we begin a study of the Book of Romans, one of the best books to resurrect, to bring back the essence, the beauty, the power, the hope, and the ongoing day-in and day-out life changes promised in Jesus.

Have you ever felt that life is unfair? We are currently living in a time of failing leadership, economic uncertainty, and governmental instability. All the while we see good people going through unfair hardships and bad people using unethical means and methods to prosper without any consequence. How could life be this unfair? This morning we want to dive into Psalm 73 for some answers.

Unlike the many other meals we listened to this summer, this last meal is the one where Jesus does not invite someone to get to know him, or invite them to see his true identity but to rebuild and restore someone that already knows him more than most. Again Jesus is going to help this person, midpoint in the journey, keep going. This is where Jesus restores Peter.

Have you ever had an awkward moment? Having an awkward moment can feel like one of the most uncomfortable human experiences here on earth. But, did you know Jesus had them too? Lorie Hartshorn unpacks for us several awkward moments in the bible, as well as one particularly awkward party guest. She unveils that when God calls us out when we do wrong, our response shouldn’t be to walk away in shame but to draw near to Him in humility. He wants us at His party. So if God is inviting us all to the party, would you accept the invitation?

Are you a "pretty good person"? What if "pretty good" isn't good enough? Or what if you're not a "good person"? Then there's some news you need to hear: you're a sinner just like everyone else. And sinners are exactly to whom Jesus extends His grace, mercy, forgiveness, and love. We all -- every last one of us -- needs Him than anything else in this life. We just need to recognize it and run to Jesus.

There's nothing so radical, so counter-cultural, or so important as love. How do we shut down the worldly distractions that drag us away from focussing on Jesus's love for us? Joel Penney looks at the incredible upside-down lessons of Christ's visit with Mary and Martha. Jesus's wisdom in pointing to the eternal matters and away from the worldly ones challenges our daily assumptions about what our responsibilities are. How can we avoid the worried, upset, and distracted life for one of calm, content focus on Jesus?

An anonymous boy gave his lunch: 5 loaves, 2 fish, and Jesus multiplied it to feed 5000. Can Jesus do the same with whatever is in your basket? Pastor Sam Mills takes us through the multiplicative miracle of Jesus feeding 5000 men with the anonymous donation of two loaves and five fishes from a boy in the crowd. It's a reminder that God has a purpose to be accomplished and created each of us with specific talents/gifts/abilities so that when we invest our time and resources, God will increase the return on that investment in abundance.

Today, Lucas Prado talks about a time when Jesus shared not only a meal with the lost sinners of his time but also parables about lostness and discovery. Through them, Jesus tells us that even though we are surrounded by loss and immersed in lostness, His love offers a path of repentance and a joyous homecoming.

Conspiracy theories abound about Jesus' death and resurrection. Was the idea of physical resurrection borrowed from other myths? Maybe Jesus was only in a coma? Maybe someone stole the body, or it was the wrong tomb, or the authors just made the whole thing up. Join us as Pastor Jon analyzes and debunks each theory.

Can a rational, intellectual, and logical person really believe the fundamental claims of the Christian faith? Did Jesus exist, did Jesus really die, and did He really rise from the dead? Does anyone else beyond the Bible talk about this? Can it be proven? And even if it's true ...is it helpful?

Many of us are in different places in our faith: trying to navigate doubt, unbelief, skepticism, deconstruction. Others haven't crossed the line of faith yet, but still struggle with the same questions from a different vantage point. What does the story of Jesus' temptation show us about how to "journey well" and not get lost on the way?
