Jesus invites us to abide in him, rooted in the source of love and life. This means orienting our lives around habits that deepen our connection, resting in God’s presence, and relying on the Spirit. As the true Vine, Jesus holds us while the Father tends and nourishes us, helping us flourish. From this place of abiding, love, joy, peace, and other fruit flow outward, shaping how we live and love in ways that last.

Week 1 of In Tandem

Teacher: Tyler Stibrich

Jesus warns of "the ruler of this world" (the devil), emphasizing that evil, while real and deeply damaging, holds no power over him. Evil often hides behind lies and self-deception, a parasite on the good that God created. Even in the face of heartbreaking darkness and cruelty, we can trust like Jesus, that God's goodness ultimately triumphs. No matter how deep the brokenness, we’re invited to trust God and live with untroubled hearts.

Week 6 of Untroubled Hearts

Teacher: Elohim Salazar

Jesus says, “If you love me, obey my commands.” He ties love to obedience as outward evidence of our devotion. Obedience isn’t about lifeless rule-following—it’s about living with a peaceful, untroubled heart. When we obey Jesus, not out of fear but out of love, we tap into a joy-filled life that aligns with what's truly good. Obedience is really about trust—it’s trusting that Jesus is right about everything. It’s not mechanical, it’s relational, wholehearted, and deeply freeing.

Week 5 of Untroubled Hearts

Teacher: Micah Coate

Jesus said that his disciples would do greater things that he did. Did he really mean that? Do those words apply to us? Let’s discover how God empowers ordinary people to do extraordinary things through trust, love, and action.

John 14:5-7

Week 3 of Untroubled Hearts

Teacher: Ryan Miller

The noise and stress of daily life can be overwhelming and is at odds with the inner peace that Jesus offers. That peace isn’t found through distraction or perfect circumstances, but through His presence. We aren’t given a map in life—we’re given a guide. Jesus is the way, the truth, and the life, and we already know enough to follow Him today. So when trouble rises, we pause, listen, and choose to do the next right thing with Him.

John 14:2-4

Week 2 of Untroubled Hearts

Teacher: Derrick LyonsIt’s easy to fear the future, there are so many things that can go wrong for us, our friends, our loved ones… But Jesus gently reminds us, “Do not let your hearts be troubled… I go to prepare a place for you.” That promise isn’t just poetic—it’s powerful and present. This isn’t just abstract theology—it’s a call to embrace heaven as a real, rich, promised future. Let’s trade our vague hopes for a bold, anchored trust in the life to come.

John 14:1, 8-11

Week 1 of Untroubled Hearts

Teacher: Megan MillerThe heart, described as our life’s control center, can be weighed down by anxiety, fear, failure, and uncertainty, but Jesus offers a path to live above our circumstances. His strategy? Go to God, go to people, and go to action. This isn’t about escaping reality in a cocoon; it’s about facing life head-on with faith. Like Peter, we may stumble in hard places, but Jesus meets us there. The journey to an untroubled heart begins by stepping into trouble—with courage, honesty, and trust.

"Amen."

Week 4 of All Things New

Teacher: Megan Stibrich

Amen means “it is true.” But “amen” is not just a mental assent, it is a pledge; it is joining a community and sharing in its dangers and tasks as well as its blessings. For many in the Church, this amen is costly, because it is a “yes” you say with your whole life.
