Counterculture Church

God is on a mission to renew His creation, and the Cross, Resurrection, and the gift of the Holy Spirit are our confirmation that it’s already in motion. The resurrection is our receipt — proof that redemption has been paid for and is on the way. So we can live with hope: our future isn't darkness, but restoration! Happy Easter Church! 

In a world full of wolves, thieves, and counterfeit shepherds, Jesus stands alone as the Good Shepherd who doesn’t take — He gives, even laying down His life for the sheep. What if God isn’t trying to restrict you, but to protect you and lead you into the full life you’ve been looking for?

In a world obsessed with quick results and constant novelty, Jesus calls us to go deeper, stay faithful and step into the harvest. 

Relationships give life meaning—both modern psychology and the Bible tell us that. But why do so many of them end up hurt, broken, or shipwrecked? Scripture teaches that God is the source of every healthy relationship and until that central connection is right, everything else will go off course.

Join us for the final message of "Shipwrecked" and learn HOW to have a relationship with God. 

The word "family" can bring up complicated feelings. What is your relationship with your parents like? What about your kids? As we continue in our Shipwrecked series, Pastor Jesse shares wisdom for being a child, being a parent, and being part of the family of God. 

Forgiveness is a command by God, yet bitterness can creep in our hearts so easily and so often. In this message we see how grace breaks the cycle of revenge, and why you can’t live in the kingdom of grace while clinging to resentment. To be a forgiving person, you first have to become a forgiven one.

Communication and conflict resolution affect every relationship and they make or break them. Our words can either build connection or do damage. Today we look at wisdom from the book of Proverbs, and discover practical wisdom for speaking life, listening well, and finding healing in Jesus so we can connect more and fight less.

Pastor Josh takes us through 2 Samuel where we learn about the heart of a king who doesn’t seek revenge, but instead restores the broken and invites the undeserving to feast at his table. We see same extravagant kindness in King Jesus, which makes us ask the question -- will we accept the invitation to His table? 

As we continue our Shipwrecked series, we dive into several verses from the book of Proverbs to understand how to build and maintain better friendships with intention, empathy and ultimately with Christ as our security. 

Some of the best and the worst parts of our lives  flow from relationships. When your relationships get better your whole life gets better. In this series we will look at biblical wisdom to improve all of our human connections. The first step is realizing that a connection with God and with people is the real meaning of life and must be prioritized above money, success, or pleasure. 

If you don't change your beliefs and break free from lies, behavior changes will never last. The book of Hebrews say the word of God doesn't just affect what we do, it goes to our thoughts and the motives of our hearts. 

What kind of garden could God plant in our hearts if we learn to abide through prayer? In this message, we are reminded that prayer isn't about getting more from God, but about letting God shape our lives to look more like Him. 

We can become numb to the Christmas story, we know it so well that we don't know it at all.  The birth of Christ is radical, it isn't meant to do more than warm us, it mean to transform us.  It can shock us, shake us and change us but only if we are willing to make room for Jesus in our lives and hearts.  

In the final message of the series Liquid Gold, Peter reveals that the true final boss isn't just Rome or Babylon, but the pride within us; and how Jesus defeats it with grace, not power, giving us peace at last.

Peter reminds us that we shouldn't be shocked by suffering, but that we have a gospel that is strong enough to sustain us through the fire. He is not going to let you dissolve in the fire -- will you let him purify you into something beautiful?  You can support this work and help us reach more people with hope at https://www.counterculture.church/give 

When the world feels chaotic, Peter reminds us that God works through ordinary faithfulness. Clear minds, deep love, open doors, and willing hands reveal His strength in the midst of chaos.
