OneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchMother's Day at OneLife: A Legacy of Faith What if we saw parenting not just as a daily task, but as one of the main ways God brings His promises to life across generations? God invites us to see family the way He does—with a bigger, generational mindset. He’s not just thinking about today; He’s thinking about our kids, their kids, and beyond. Now more than ever, we need families who put God first—who walk in His ways and raise children to do the same. The world is shaped by those who choose faithfulness, generation after generation.You can join...2025-05-1137 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Fighting Self-Reliance It’s easy to feel strong when we’ve just come off a spiritual high—like we’ve seen God move and we’re ready to take on the world. But then life hits, and we realize we’ve started relying more on ourselves than on Jesus. That’s what happened with the disciples. After seeing Jesus in His glory, they couldn’t cast out a demon—not for lack of effort, but because they were operating in their own strength. Jesus points out that real faith means real dependence—not just when things are hard, but all the time. Whether you’re...2025-05-0440 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchFriends of OneLife with Tope Koleoso: Tried and Tested Life is full of tests, even for those who follow Jesus. But these tests aren’t random; they’re divinely allowed and designed by God to shape our character, grow our faith, and prepare us for the journey ahead. God uses tests to form us into pillars—people of strength, stability, and support for others. God is working through every circumstance to mature us. He won’t allow shortcuts because His goal is to grow us into people who reflect His heart and carry His strength for the good of others. The question is: how will we respond to the test...2025-04-2752 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchEaster Sunday 2025: New Life in Jesus There’s hope this Easter—but it starts with facing the real problem. Scripture doesn’t just offer advice for life, it gives an honest diagnosis: we’re spiritually dead. Separated from God, unable to fix ourselves, and in need of more than a fresh start—we need resurrection. The good news? Jesus doesn’t come to make bad people better; He comes to make dead people alive. He rose from the dead, and because of Him, we can too. Do you believe it?You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 9am and 1...2025-04-2034 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: The Path to True Satisfaction In the transfiguration of Jesus, we catch a glimpse of the glory that has always been His—but now revealed. This moment on the mountain invites us to behold His glory, receive His suffering, and listen to His voice. Like the disciples, we can be so used to the ordinary that we miss the extraordinary presence of Jesus right in front of us. But when the veil is lifted, we see that He alone satisfies the deep longing of our hearts. God confirms that Jesus is the One we’ve been waiting for—the mediator, the fulfillment, the radiance of God...2025-04-1335 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Following the Real Jesus Sometimes we come to Jesus thinking we see clearly, but like Peter in this passage, we often only see part of the picture. When Jesus asks, “Who do you say I am?” Peter gets the right answer—“You are the Christ.” But he still doesn’t fully understand what that means. He’s holding onto his own ideas of who Jesus should be, and it leads him to push back against Jesus’ plan to suffer and be killed. We can do the same. We can hold on to our own ideas, our preconceived notions about Jesus. But following Jesus means laying all...2025-04-0637 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Don’t You Understand Yet? Jesus had already fed a massive crowd once—and now, here He is doing it again. The disciples had seen Him come through before, but they still struggled to trust. Sound familiar? We’ve all had moments where we’ve seen God move powerfully in our lives, only to find ourselves doubting when the next challenge comes. God has been incredibly faithful. He’s provided when we lacked, brought peace when we were anxious, comforted us in our pain, and shown up in ways we didn’t expect. And just like the disciples, we need reminders. We need to stop and r...2025-03-3031 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Persistent Faith and the Goodness of Jesus The story of the Gentile woman shows us what genuine faith looks like—humble, persistent, and confident in the goodness of Jesus. Even when it feels like barriers are in the way, real faith presses on, believing that God is kind and compassionate. Sometimes our faith is grown through waiting, suffering, and not getting immediate answers. But Jesus isn’t pushing us away—He’s drawing us closer, inviting us to a deeper trust that brings healing and life. Our response is to come to Him with humility, knowing He really is that good.You can...2025-03-2342 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: How to Kill Real Faith in Three Easy Steps It’s so easy to settle for religion instead of relationship—and when we do, it kills our faith. Jesus confronts the Pharisees because they elevated man-made rules above God’s Word, putting tradition and personal preference in the place of true obedience. The same thing can happen today—when we focus more on outward appearances than inward devotion, or when we blame the world around us instead of looking at the sin within our own hearts. At the end of the day, Jesus is after our hearts, not empty actions. Real, living faith grows when we stop trying to prove...2025-03-1648 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Jesus in the Storm - Brian Barr Do you really know Jesus, or have you just been familiar with Him? When life gets hard—and it will—it’s easy to let fear or disappointment cloud our view of who He really is. But Jesus isn’t committed to making our lives comfortable; He’s committed to growing our faith. In this moment with His disciples, walking on water in the middle of a storm, Jesus reveals Himself as the One who has power over it all. He comes close, encourages them, and reminds them, “Take heart, it is I.” Jesus is still doing that for us. He’s inter...2025-03-0943 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Jesus Satisifies Every Human Need - Chris Nagel Jesus feeding the 5,000 is more than just a miracle—it’s a glimpse into the heart of Christ. It reveals our deep need and his desire to satisfy not just some of our needs, but all of them. We often come to Jesus expecting him to meet our physical or immediate desires, but he wants to give us something greater—himself. He is the Bread of Life, our daily nourishment, the one who truly satisfies. Just as the bread was broken and multiplied, Jesus’ own life was given so that millions could find true life in him. So the question...2025-03-0236 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Choosing Christ When You Face Trials - Steve Barr Herod had the opportunity to do the right thing—but he didn’t. Faced with pressure, pride, and the weight of his reputation, he made a choice that led him away from truth and into darkness. We all face these moments. Will we stand firm for Jesus, or will we crumble under pressure like Herod? In this message, we look at John the Baptist’s unwavering commitment to proclaim Christ, even when it cost him everything. Jesus wasn’t just a great teacher or promoter—He was and is the big deal. His life, death, and resurrection changed everything, and our ca...2025-02-2333 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Standing Firm in a World that Rejects Jesus - Brian Barr The gospel of Jesus is offensive—it challenges pride, confronts sin, and calls people to surrender. Jesus Himself was rejected—misunderstood and dismissed. The same rejection He faced is something we will encounter as His disciples. How do we handle it? Do we compromise under pressure, or do we stand firm with joy, righteousness, and unwavering faith? Looking at Mark 6, we see how pride blinds the people of Nazareth from recognizing Jesus and their unbelief limits what He can do in their lives. The same is true in our culture today. But no matter how others respond to us, our c...2025-02-1644 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Jesus Responds to Imperfect Faith - Jeremy Little Sometimes, life throws obstacles at us that we just can’t fix, no matter how hard we try. Those desperate moments reveal the true state of our faith, and often it is meager, small, and very imperfect. But the good news is that Jesus responds to imperfect faith! In Mark 5, both Jairus and a woman suffering for years came to Jesus, not because they were ready to follow Him, but because they believed He could move in their situation. And in His kindness, Jesus took their small, desperate faith and did something far greater than they expected. He not on...2025-02-0934 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Jesus vs Evil (His Power to Set Us Free) - Chris Nagel In Mark 5:1-20, Jesus encounters a man tormented by demons, revealing His complete authority over evil. Satan and his forces seek to destroy, but Jesus defeats evil—both externally and within us—offering freedom, restoration, and a new identity. His very presence disrupts darkness, yet many feared losing their normal life and begged Him to leave. But Jesus calls us to wake up to the reality of spiritual warfare and stand in His authority. Like the healed man, we are sent as witnesses to proclaim what God has done and push back the darkness in His name.2025-02-0238 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchVision Sunday: Year in Review 2024 - Brian Barr You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 9am and 11am CST every Sunday morning.

At Jesus’ baptism, before He began His ministry or performed any miracles, the Father affirmed His love and pleasure in Him. That same love and affirmation is extended to us through grace! When we root ourselves in the affirmation of the Father, it transforms how we live—anchoring us in our true identity, silencing competing voices, and empowering us to resist fear, shame, and pressure to conform. The Father’s love changes everything....2025-01-1948 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchGod as the Father: From Orphans to Sons and Daughters - Brian Barr Who are you? It’s a question we all ask, and the ache to define ourselves can drive us to exhaustion. Striving to prove our worth through performance leaves us feeling insecure and unstable, like living on a roller coaster. But Jesus offers a better way. In Matthew 11:28-30, He invites us to receive an identity—not one achieved through our efforts, but one rooted in His love and grace. In Christ, we are not orphans striving for validation, but beloved sons and daughters of God, secure in His acceptance and free from fear, guilt, and shame. It’s in the...2025-01-1247 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchGod as the Father: From Just a Title to a Relationship - Brian Barr Is your walk with God dull and lifeless? That’s not what He intended! Jesus invites us into the fullness of life by knowing God as our loving Father. This week, we start a new sermon series entitled God as the Father—exploring the difference between a transactional view of God and a relational one. Do you really know God—His character, His likes and dislikes, His heart—or do you simply know about Him? Our view of God shapes everything about how we live, and through Jesus, we have access to the Father who calls us His beloved sons and...2025-01-0649 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Co-Labor - Week 5 - Seth Saldivar You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 9am and 11am CST every Sunday morning.

Jesus challenges us to choose our master—God or wealth—and to use our resources as evidence of our devotion to Him. Financial generosity reflects our worship by revealing what we value most, shapes our discipleship by forming us into the likeness of Jesus, and fuels the mission of making disciples and spreading the Gospel. Generosity frees us from the grip of materialism and allows us to experience the fullness of God’s grace. As followers of Jesus, we are called to reflect His extravagant generosity and shar...2024-12-0853 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchFamily Service 2024: Designer Families What does it look like for our families to reflect God’s design? From the beginning, family has been God’s idea—a reflection of the unity and love within the Godhead. Our homes should be places of love, where time and connection help our children and grandchildren know they are deeply cherished. Just as Jesus prioritized time with God and His broader family, we are called to nurture connection within our own homes. When love and grace take center stage, our families become a powerful witness of joy and transformation. Through our homes, we can create a culture that o...2024-12-0135 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Co-Labor - Mission in Everyday - Jeremy Little Are you truly known by the unbelievers around you, or are you just another stranger in their lives? This week, Jeremy Little continued our Disciple: Co-Labor series, challenging us to embrace our calling to live as sent people—engaging our neighborhoods, workplaces, and everyday lives just as Jesus was sent into the world. Jesus lived with deep compassion, building relationships and sharing His life, and He invites us to follow His example. Living missionally means walking alongside people with humility, entering their lives over time, and reflecting the hope of Christ through both joy and suffering. Rather than measuring su...2024-11-2441 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Co-Labor - Living Sent - Brian Barr What would it look like if your life was fully aligned with Jesus' mission in the world? This week, Brian Barr kicked off a new sermon series through the our final “C” in OneLife’s discipleship framework - talking about how we Co-Labor with Jesus on his mission in the world. Jesus came on mission with unwavering purpose, and He now sends us to join Him in bringing redemption and new life to the world. Our calling is to live sent lives, scattering from the church to be salt and light wherever we are placed. This mission meets our deep n...2024-11-1749 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Jesus Calms the Storm - Nate Miller What do we do in storms? In difficulty? When it seems like we are going to drown. This week, Nate Miller continued in our sermon series through the book of Mark, looking at the story of Jesus calming the storm. The reaction of the disciples sharply contrasts with Jesus’ reaction - while one panicked in fear the other slept. Jesus rebuked them that their fear was because of a lack of faith in who He is. When we face trials and suffering in the storms of life, do we panic out of lack of faith in Jesus, or do we...2024-11-1044 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchFriends of OneLife - What Has God Put on Your Heart - Steve Tibbert You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 9am and 11am CST every Sunday morning.

This week. Brian Barr calls followers of Jesus to consider what it means to live as citizens of heaven while navigating our nation’s political landscape. With issues like abortion, gender, and the redefining of morality at the forefront, he reminds us that these challenges are more than political—they’re spiritual battles requiring courage and conviction and should influence the way we vote. We, as followers of Jesus, must respond with prayer, faithful witness, and the responsibility to seek the well-being of our country, while keepin...2024-10-2740 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Life with God - Brian Barr Are you growing as a follower of Jesus? Do you know how growth happens in the kingdom of God? This week, Brian Barr continued our sermon series on Mark, exploring three of Jesus’ parables that reveal the process of spiritual growth. The central message of these parables is that growth only happens when we apply the revelation we receive. How we respond to God’s revelation—whether it comes through His Word, preaching, promptings of the Holy Spirit, or other believers—makes all the difference. When we act on the revelation given to us, God adds even more. But if we ne...2024-10-2049 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: A Life Producing Good Fruit - Steve Barr Do you ever feel like your faith isn’t growing as it should, while others seem to flourish? This week, Steve Barr continued our series in the Gospel of Mark, exploring the parable of the seeds and the different types of soil. Jesus calls us to listen and understand, warning that the condition of our hearts determines how we receive God’s Word. Some hearts become hardened, refusing to listen, while others are impulsive, constantly distracted by life’s busyness. Many of us have divided hearts, allowing distractions to push God aside. But Jesus reminds us we can’t squeeze...2024-10-1335 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Familiarity vs. Followership - Embracing Jesus as Lord - Chris Nagel Is your heart truly growing closer to Jesus, or are you simply living in familiarity with Him? Chris Nagel continues our series through the Gospel of Mark, challenging us to move from mere familiarity with Jesus to becoming whole-hearted followers. Jesus makes it clear that we cannot stay neutral—He is either Lord, liar, or lunatic. The warning about the unforgivable sin, blasphemy against the Holy Spirit, reminds us to guard our hearts from hardening, which leads us away from repentance and truth. Yet, in His mercy, Jesus invites us to sit at His feet, follow Him closely, and do...2024-10-0635 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Connect - Why the Church Needs Qualified Leaders - Brian Barr With trust in the Church at an all-time low, strong, biblically qualified leadership is essential for the church’s health and mission. We need elders/pastors who shepherd with integrity, offering spiritual oversight, and guarding the flock, and deacons who faithfully support them in meeting the church’s practical needs. These leaders aren’t seeking fame or avoiding difficult issues—they’re accountable to God and live out His standards with authenticity. When the church embraces this biblical model of leadership, it reflects Christ more clearly, fostering relational health, spiritual growth, and a community that thrives on truth and love. Foll...2024-09-2952 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Connect - Valuing the Corporate Gathering - Chris Nagel What if the key to a thriving faith isn’t found in something you do alone, but in what we do together? This week, Chris Nagel explored the essential role of a corporate meeting in our spiritual growth. Today, many people drift away from church—not because of deconstruction, but because life gets busy and the importance of gathering as the body of Christ is often overlooked. By looking at the early church's commitment to meeting together, we discover the foundational elements of a healthy church: preaching the Word, fellowship, communion, and worship. If we expect little from our gath...2024-09-2240 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Connect - Embracing Our Spiritual Gifts - Jeremy Little How has God gifted you, and what role has He assigned you to play within the church body? This week, Jeremy Little led us through the importance of spiritual gifts and how we’re called to use them within the church. When Jesus walked the earth, He embodied all the spiritual gifts. But we aren’t like Him in that way—He has chosen to distribute these gifts among His followers. This means we need each other in order to fully represent Christ to the world. To be effective in the mission Jesus has given us, we can’t rely sol...2024-09-1539 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Connect - Fighting for Unity - Brian Barr What does it mean for us to be a unified church? This week, Brian Barr delivered a powerful message on Jesus' fervent prayer for His followers—to maintain unity among each other. Are you driven primarily to build others up, to walk in forgiveness, and to pursue reconciliation during conflicts? Can you remain unoffendable? Sadly, the Church today often isn't recognized for its compassion and love, which contrasts sharply with Jesus’ words in John 13: "By [your love for one another] everyone will know that you are my disciples." It is not through our individual actions, but through our collective unit...2024-09-0852 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Connect - Cultivating Gospel Friendships - Brian Barr What kind of friendships are shaping your walk with Jesus? This week, Brian Barr explored Paul’s friendships with Timothy and Epaphroditus, emphasizing the importance of Gospel-centered friendships. The church isn’t just a family in theory; it should be a family in practice too! So how can we practically live out friendship with each other? It’s helpful to consider our friendships within four key spheres: public, social, personal, and intimate/transparent. Each of these areas is essential for spiritual growth and discipleship. Jesus modeled this by forming deep, impactful relationships with His disciples across various contexts. By invest...2024-09-0146 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Connect - Known, Loved, & Challenged - Brian Barr If we are to grow as Christians, it’s because we are engaging in a community where we are truly known, loved, and challenged. This week, Brian Barr continued our Connect series, emphasizing that the community of Jesus is essential for our growth as disciples. By looking at how Jesus engaged with His disciples, we learn that He 1) truly knew them, 2) loved them through deep relationships, and 3) created an environment of challenge that brought about change in their lives. Following this pattern, with Jesus at the center of our community, provides the context for true transformation in our lives....2024-08-2544 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Connect - Being the Church Jesus Intends - Brian Barr What is the importance of the church? In a time when society often views the church as ineffective and irrelevant, how should we respond as followers of Jesus? This week, Brian Barr kicked off a new sermon series focusing on the third “C” in OneLife’s discipleship framework–connecting together as the body of Christ. The church is God’s Plan A to reach the world with the good news of Jesus!  When we follow Jesus, we give up our individualism, submitting to Jesus as our ultimate authority and commiting to one another as the family of God. Following Jesus witho...2024-08-1855 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: The Call of Jesus - Chris Nagel As life's pressures and complexities mount, how should we respond as followers of Jesus? Chris Nagel guides us through Jesus’ response to the growing demands on His life—He retreats to a mountain and names His Apostles. Just as Jesus called the twelve Apostles, He calls us as His followers today! We are brought into a new identity, a new relationship with God, and a new mission of living sent to preach the Good News of Jesus to those around us. When we are caught in overwhelming pressure, Jesus’ calling brings peace, purpose and direction to our lives....2024-08-1137 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Christianity vs Religion - Brian Barr What is the difference between Christianity and religion? And how do we know if we are engaging in Christian practices or religious practices? This week, Brian Barr continued our sermon series through the book of Mark by contrasting Jesus’ Gospel teachings with the Pharisees’ religious beliefs. Religion is a man-made system of rules designed to earn the approval and acceptance of God. The danger of being caught up in a religious system is that our hearts become hard and we miss the person and work of Jesus! We miss the beauty of God's grace which truly liberates us from our...2024-08-0443 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Jesus Came for Sinners - Brian Barr How could we spoil the work of Jesus in the world? This week, Brian Barr continued our sermon series in Mark, looking at when Jesus calls Levi, a hated tax collector, and then attends a party at his house. Tax collectors in Jesus' day were considered traitors. They were local Jewish people recruited by Rome to collect heavy taxes from the people. In addition, tax collectors often collected more money than required and pocketed the difference. By calling Levi to follow Him, Jesus challenges all the ways our sinful hearts make us think we are better than others. When...2024-07-2849 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Authority to Forgive - Jeremy Little What was different about Jesus that drew crowds of people to Him? This week, Jeremy Little continued our sermon series in Mark by looking at the story where Jesus heals a paralyzed man who was carried to Him by friends. This story is an incredible example of the kind of friends we need in our lives—people who will carry us to Jesus! These five friends were full of faith and pushed past every obstacle to get to Jesus. Jesus saw their faith and did something completely unexpected: He declared, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” Beyond physical healing, Jesus addres...2024-07-2141 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Jesus Restores the Outcast - Steve Barr How does Jesus respond to those who are broken and rejected? This week, Steve Barr continues our sermon series through the book of Mark by looking at the moment when Jesus healed a man with leprosy. Leprosy was a significant issue in Biblical times; it was a terrifying disease that resulted in complete isolation from the Jewish community. A man with leprosy comes to Jesus with faith and humility, begging for healing. Jesus does the unthinkable—He touches the man and heals him! Jesus breaks through social barriers, showing compassion for the outcast, the sick, and the broken. He is...2024-07-1429 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: A Day in the Life of Jesus - Brian Barr What can Jesus accomplish in a 24-hour period? This week, Brian Barr continued our sermon series through the book of Mark, looking at when Jesus begins His public ministry. In one astonishing day, Jesus teaches with authority, casts out demons, heals the sick late into the night, and after all this, He wakes up early in the morning to commune with His Father in Heaven. Jesus didn’t waste time; He lived with purpose. He was on a mission to invade the dark kingdom of this world and establish His own kingdom. Jesus calls us to the same purpose. He...2024-07-0749 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: Follow Me - Jeremy Little Why doesn’t it work to try to follow Jesus on your own terms? This week, Jeremy Little continued our sermon series through the book of Mark, looking at when Jesus calls His first disciples. Jesus doesn’t call world leaders, great thinkers, or influential people; He calls ordinary workers—fishermen. He meets them in the mundane tasks of life and invites them to a whole new purpose: “Follow me, and I will make you become fishers of men.” Jesus invites them (and us) to participate in the very work God is doing in the world—gathering people to salvation in...2024-06-3040 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchThe Gospel of Mark: The Orbit of The Trinity - Chris Nagel Who is God? What is He like? This week Chris Nagel continued our sermon series through the gospel of Mark, and we looked at Jesus’ baptism and His temptation by Satan. Many people want a relationship with Jesus, but they want it on their own terms. They want Jesus to orbit them and their life. But in this short passage we get a stunning revelation of who Jesus is. Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and the second person of the trinity.

This week Brian Barr kicked off a new sermon series through the book of Mark in the Bible. Mark is an eyewitness account of Jesus' life, death, and resurrection. It was written specifically to Christians who were suffering in Rome under the persecution of Nero. Mark begins by announcing the purpose of his book - to proclaim the good news of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. The gospel is the good news about Jesus - that the Son of God Himself has come in the flesh to rescue His people. The whole book challenges...2024-06-0941 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchWhat is Baptism? - Brian Barr What is baptism? This week, Brian Barr explained the significance of the practice of baptism, as we celebrated baptizing 21 people over the weekend! In the great commission, Jesus commands that we make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. The first step of becoming a disciple of Jesus is baptism. Many people think they need to wait until they "get good at being a Christian" before being baptized, but that misses the meaning of this practice. Baptism is an acknowledgment of our sinful state before God. It shows our need for the...2024-06-0244 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchDisciple: Conform - Loving Others - Brian Barr What does it look like to conform into the image of Christ? This week, Brian Barr closed out our Conform series by looking at the primary marker of a life transformed by Jesus - our love for others. Our culture has defined love as self-centered and self-gratifying. But the love of God is sacrificial and living for the benefit of others. God’s love is powerful! The instruction for followers of Jesus, who have experienced first-hand the love of the Father, is to take this sacrificial, servant hearted love to the people around us. It’s in fact, the prim...2024-05-2651 minOneLife ChurchOneLife ChurchLove Your Enemies: Friends of OneLife with Bob Roberts What is the most radical thing that Jesus instructed His followers to do? “Love your enemies.” This week we had the privilege of having Bob Roberts with us from Northwood Church in Dallas, Texas. In a world where people are divided over differing beliefs, ethnicities, and political parties, whole hearted followers of Jesus are commanded to love everyone - even their enemies. This is so countercultural. The Gospel changes the way we see people because we have experienced the love of God when we were not worthy of His love.

In this Mother’s Day message, Brian Barr gives us five practices of families who are raising wholehearted disciples of Jesus. Discipleship has to start in our homes and in the way we model what it looks like to love God wholeheartedly.

This week we had the privilege of having Mbonisi Malaba with us from OneTribe Church in Nairobi, Kenya. Mbonisi led us through Jesus’ famous parable of two builders who built their houses on the rock and on the sand. When a great storm came, with violent winds, rain and floods, the house built on the rock stood firm, but the house built on the sand was destroyed. Christianity doesn’t promise us a storm-free life.

As Christians, we believe the Bible in which Jesus Himself claims “I am the way, the truth and the life, no one comes to the Father except through me” in John 14:6.

This week, Brian Barr continued in our Questioning Christianity series looking at the Biblical view of sexuality. The Bible is not anti-sex, but when it’s used outside of God’s design, it brings harm and lasting consequences.

The very fact that we are outraged at suffering actually points us to the existence of a God who is the standard of morality and the standard of how things “ought to be”.

While many claim that the Christian faith is dying, the research disagrees. Jesus told his followers that His global movement would start small, but would continue to spread to the ends of the world, and that is exactly what has happened!
