10. You Just Had To Be There (Vision)
In the final message of "Error 404: What the Internet Can't Give You," we note that the digital world often leaves us amused but deeply isolated. In the New Testament we vividly see that real life worship and community was always God's beautiful vision. If we amputate ourselves from it we miss out on something vital. God wants to do extraordinary things in community, we just have to be there. Scripture: Ephesians 3:20-4:6
9. Building A Ramp (Mission)
Some churches just stand on a pedestal and look down on people, but the way of Jesus is to build a ramp that is accessible to the spiritually wounded. But this is going to it take all of us. We have to build this kind of place together. Scripture: Romans 15: 1-13
7. A Moment You Won’t Forget (Baptism)
When we spend too much time online the days just blur together. But real experiences tend to be a bit more memorable. Baptism is a profound memory marker that clearly declares new life in Jesus. The water seals the deal. Scripture: Acts 10:44-48
6. Eating Eternity (Communion)
Why do we take communion (eucharist) every week at Counterculture? Is this tiny juice and cracker really all that important? Join us as we unpack the rich legacy of Passover and Jesus' final meal and see how communion can unlock the meaning of the past, allows us to reflect in the present, and invites us into a magnificent future.
5. Songs That Make Us New (Worship)
Ever wonder why we sing so much at church? Why not just stay home and listen to Spotify? The Bible tells us that when we worship together we can experience God's presence and be empowered to live lives that count and not waste our limited time. Scripture: Ephesians 5:15-20
4. Team Lift (Community)
Some objects are just too heavy to carry on your own—they require a team. Some emotional burdens and periods in life are a lot like that. We need a community around us to help us get through our grief and difficulties. Technology often leaves us living in our own isolated virtual worlds, but that can leave us feeling totally alone. Real church community has the potential to be transformative when we show up for each other and love in action, not just in words. Scripture: 2 Corinthians 1:3-11
3. Amplified for Impact (Teaching)
With so much information available to us on the internet, what is the value of committing time to learning the scriptures in person week in and week out? Join us and see that when we hear God's word together, it is amplified through living examples. It is truth in 3D. Scripture: 1 Timothy 4
2. Assembly Required (Unity)
What is the point of gathering together as a church? Can't I get the same spiritual results from just doing it on my own? In this message, Pastor Jesse talks about the importance of church and what glory story might just be waiting for us when we assemble. Scripture: Hebrews 10:19-25
1. Word Behind The World (In-person)
n the series "Error 404," we are exploring, "what the internet can't give us." People are spending on average seven hours a day online and we are prone to ignore the physical for the digital. In this message we'll see why the physical world matters and is worth prioritizing. Scripture: John 1:1-18
