Why are Christians hypocrites?

Easter Sunday: Risen

Wounds and all, Jesus has risen to invite us into a new kind of hope - one we just might have to live out to believe.

Act Out: Protest Sunday (Palm Sunday)

Palm Sunday is not only a culmination of years of Jesus's ministry, it's a massive protest against empire. Come hear how the day in, day out work of discipleship makes major disruption like this possible.

Act Out: Radical Praise

Last week, we talked abolition and hope for a world redeemed. But what if the quickest way there begins with praise of the God who promises that it's possible?

 

Come hear a story of prison walls crumbling and jailers redeemed all because of a powerful song of praise.

Act Out: Redemption Culture

What do cancel culture, the prison industrial complex, and the book of Acts have in common? They all convict us to build a new kind of culture in the Kingdom - one where all people can be redeemed and set free.

Act Out: Spread the Word

How do we all catch the vision for the world as it could be? We spread the word! Through our actions, our relationships, and our conversations, our faith calls us dream big - and loud.

Act Out: Kick In

Was the early church made up of proto-socialists? If so, what does that mean for modern followers of Jesus?

Act Out: Show Up

While we're virtual, church can feel like something we watch more often than something we do (or are!). But Jesus calls us to be his hands and feet in the world, so how do we get into the fray? First step: Show Up.

 

This lent, join the Zao community as we spend time in the book of Acts, a history of how the early followers of Jesus built the church to live out the Gospel for generations to come.

Valentine's Gay

Love is a part of all of our lives, whether with partners, friends, family, or God. Join pastors Jonah and Cameron as they talk about their own love, marriage, and faith in light of V-Day.
