Ever been hustled? If you’ve played pool, a pick-up game with the Momentum Staff or had an in-home demonstration for a vacuum cleaner, you probably have. Way back in the day in the book of Genesis (from the Bible), there was this dude named Jacob. He was a slick dude, hustling anyone who crossed his path. Funny thing is, God was able to use this “Natural-Born Hustler” to play a key role in God’s plan for humanity.

Have you ever felt like you were being haunted by something? Maybe it was just a creaky floorboard in an old house or a noisy icemaker in a new refrigerator, but you thought it was poltergeist or the Blair Witch.

Well, there are three totally legitimate anxieties that have haunted mankind throughout the ages. (No, they don’t have anything to do with the Browns, Cavs, or Indians, but that was a good guess.) We fear these things because they are extremely real, and if we don’t face them – they will completely and utterly destroy us. On a brighter note, God tells us that he is the only being in the universe who can scare these ghosts away…

Jesus created parables – stories with spiritual meaning – to teach his audiences. Paul, the author of many of the letters that we now call “books” of the Bible, quoted mainstream poets and plays in his writings. Both used creative ways to teach regular people about a God who desires to know and to lead us.

On that note, every year Momentum discusses some of the most popular films that have been released over the last year. We ask, “What eternal truths can we learn from these popular stories? How can these movies be used as parables that move us forward to love God, love people, and serve the world?”

Jesus had a very clear mission when he came to earth. He even tipped his hand a few times and told his friends what some of his personal mission statements were. In fact, he was so laser-focused on his assignment that it rubbed off on his followers…and changed the world forever.

Were you also placed here for a reason? How would your life be different if you knew beyond the shadow of a doubt what God’s purpose for your life was?

If you knew why you were here, two things would be certain:
1. You would have an amazing amount of peace in your life.
2. You would be driven.

Every Tom, Dick, and Harry his opinion about who Jesus was and is, but who – or what – does Jesus claim to be? That may help us all decide if we really want to follow him and imitate him as the ultimate leader and role model of our lives.

In the Gospel of John, the fourth biography of Jesus found in the Bible, Jesus uses several metaphors to reveal his identity and mission to us. For example, what did Jesus mean when he said, “I am the Good Shepherd”? Let’s ask God to guide us as we unpack these metaphors.

In a country where the Christian faith appears to be dominated by men, the truth is that 60% of the people who claim to follow Jesus are females. Women are easily today’s heroes of the faith, and we owe a lot to them for their hard work and sacrifice.

But, in the midst of the American church’s “gender gap,” Momentum continues to be a church where the masculine spirit is still alive and well…

Challenge. Risk. Sweat. Blood. Explosions. Action. Adventure. Leadership. Danger.

The Bible tells us about a patriarch named Abraham whose life contained all of the above. He was a dude’s dude…and a man of great faith. “The Man Series” takes a look at our need for strong, bold, adventurous guys (like Abraham) in Greater Cleveland and in churches like Momentum.

Back in the First Century, Jesus had some private, one-on-one conversations that would have been cool to overhear. What if – back then – some curious people could have wired up Jesus the way television networks often mic up coaches and players in the NBA and the NFL?

“Parable” = a story that has a spiritual point.

For the last few years, one of the biggest entertainment crazes in Hollywood has been the stories of the superheroes. Where did these superheroes come from? How did they get their powers? What is their duty to mankind now that they have these powers?

Inside of each of these fun comic book stories are deep spiritual points—lessons that will challenge us as we seek a deeper relationship with God.

The Superhero Parables will be a creative series that you’ll never forget. You don’t wanna miss one Sunday…

Scott Pugh, the Lead Minister of Velocity Christian Church (South Euclid), will be speaking at Momentum! He, his church staff, and the volunteers who will help them start this new church (Velocity) will be with us to share the cool stuff that God is doing in Greater Cleveland. God really is up to something cool in Cleveland…

Come join us on Sun., March 8th at Cinemark Theatre in Valley View as our two churches join together to rock it out with great live music, inspiring teaching, and several laughs along the way.

Momentum wants to be the kind of church that helps other great new churches get started in Cleveland and throughout the world.

Moses is one of the most popular leaders in history. Funny thing, though: Dude didn’t think he had what it took to be a leader. Mo(ses) was short-tempered; he was self-conscious about a speech problem he had; and he didn’t think God could use his life for anything significant.

Come and get inspired by the life of a guy who stepped up to lead at a time when his people needed leaders.

The economy is horrific. And from what experts are saying, it will probably get worse before it gets better. On top of that, most of our Dads never taught us how to handle personal finances. Shnikies! What’s a Clevelander to do?

Come find out how climbing out of debt, creating a spending plan, battling materialism, and developing a heart of generosity affects your relationship with the Creator.

In the Bible, at the beginning of the Book of Luke, there is a short compilation of songs that were sung in anticipation or celebration of the birth of Jesus who came to make peace between God and people. You might say these were the first Christmas tunes ever, and we think theses songs will make your holidays more meaningful and leave you saying: "Now that's what I call Christmas!"

The first line of the Bible (Genesis 1:1) reads: "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." The problem is, when God created people, he loved us so much that he gave us a powerful little thing called "free will" - meaning, we can choose to be idiots if we want to. God's not going to force us to love him and love each other. Well, unfortunately for mankind, most of the first people in the Book of Genesis chose to be idiots. Here are their stories...

It's no secret that America is saturated with sexuality, but most churches are pretty silent about the issue. However, the Bible has a lot of really practical insights for people who live in a culture like ours.

What does it really mean to be a Christian?

What can we learn from No Country for Old Men?

What can we learn from 3:10 to Yuma?

What can we learn from The Bourne Ultimatum?

What can we learn from Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull?

What can we learn from I Am Legend?

The Book of Acts in the Bible records the story of Saul - an out-of-control maniac who struck fear into the hearts of First Century Christians. He hated and persecuted followers of Jesus. Saul was even the Don behind the death of the first Christian martyr. Hateful dude.

Oh - and btw - you may recongize this freak by another name: Saint Paul. Come and hear his story... raw and uncut.

Back in 1980, Pac-Man was released in the U.S., and we were overtaken with something called "Pac-Man Fever." What lessons can we learn about faith from the hours, days, and perhaps weeks spent in a beanbag chair in front of the TV with a controller in our hands? You'd be surprised.

Come prepared to be stretched and challenged by four down-to-earth messages on one of America's favorite pastimes...

Jesus came to Earth preaching about a God-centered community, or kingdom, where the values are completely flip-flopped. Many of these teachings seem like paradoxes - totally self-contradicting and absurd, but they give us a glimpse into God's "Upside-Down Kingdom."

If Jesus had a chance to speak to the people of Greater Cleveland, what are some of the things he might say? Jesus had a habit of using well-known cultural images to help him better explain his messages to people. In this series, Dan will speculate about some popular local stories and beliefs, and how Jesus would use those to teach Clevelanders how to get closer to God.

Maybe a friend turned their back on you. Maybe someone you loved betrayed you. We all have wounds and we end up carrying around these things that people have done to us for weeks, months, and sometimes even years. It isn't always easy to forgive these people and after a while these hurts can get really heavy. So the only way to feel better seems to be somehow getting back at the people that hurt us, to get revenge. But does revenge ever truly satisfy? Maybe forgiving isn't something you do for someone else to let them off the hook. Maybe forgiveness is about you. God didn't create you to carry these wounds around. God created you to be free.

He has been the most influential and controversial figure in history. However, a lot of people don't really know much about Jesus' story, other than being "born of a virgin" and dying on a cross. For the next several weeks, we will tell some simple stories from the Bible about his life and teachings. If you are searching for answers, this is a great time to jump in...

"Parable" = a story with a spiritual point.

For the last few years, one of the biggest entertainment crazes in Hollywood has been the stories of the superheroes. Where did they come from? How did they get their powers? What is their duty to mankind now that they have these powers?

Inside of each of these fun comic book stories are deep spiritual points—lessons that will challenge us as we seek out a relationship with God.

This will be a creative teaching series that you’ll never forget. You won’t wanna miss a Sunday…

For the next four weeks, Momentum is talking about the good stuff -- relationships.  Let's talk about roommates who won't do their own nasty dishes, bad dates who make us believe we are the only normal single people left on Earth, and soul mates that we want to hold on to until we flatline.  Who doesn't need help with this stuff?

Whether you're single, dating, engaged, married, or divorced, God has a lot of practical advice about how to "love people" even better than we might be right now.

When you or your unchurched friends go to church, do you feel like everyone acts like they are better than you?  Do you feel like the preacher/priest is just preaching at you, trying to get you to confess all of the sin in your life... but they don't have anything to confess themselves?  Is so, this has probably put a bad taste in your mouth about church.  If that's your story, this is the Sunday to show up at Momentum...

We don't hammer people over the head all the time about giving more money to the church.   On the other hand, money is a big issue in all of our lives.  In fact, Cleveland has been labeled "The Poorest Big City in America."

What can we learn from God and the Bible on how to wisely handle our finances?  Come and learn some basic principles on  how to get your finances in order, climb out of debt, and trust God more with your Benjamins.

What lessons can we learn about faith from the hours, days, perhaps weeks, that some of us have spent in a beanbag chair in front of the TV with a video game controller in our hands (a "joystick" for those of us older than 30)? Come chill and be challenged by this fun and down-to-earth series that includes:  Pac-Man, Pitfall, Super Mario Brothers, and Halo!

We all have questions about the basics of Christianity.  Sometimes it's just embarrassing to ask.  "Christianity for Dummies" is series for people who, spiritually speaking, are just getting started, starting over, or looking for some fresh ideas on how to "love God, love people, and serve the world."

Jesus often used stories and familiar images from culture to teach people what it mean to have a relationship with God.  

Mo is taking a look at some popular movies from the last 2 years and asking the question, “What can we learn about God and ourselves from these flicks?”  

Come see what we can learn from Crash, Napoleon Dynamite, Walk the Line, Saw II, and The Chronicles of Narnia.

It’s church (and theatre) like you’ve never experienced before…
