Throughout history, countless artists have depicted the last week of Jesus’ life, the crucifixion, and the resurrection. Each week, we will examine one thought-provoking painting, along with the corresponding scriptures, to contemplate God’s epic story of sacrifice and victory. #MoArtOfEaster

Are you just in it for the free chalupas, or are you ready to become a true disciple of Jesus? #MoChurch

Our Lead Minister, Dan Smith, leads us up the Stepladder to Happiness based on the Sermon on the Mount where Jesus introduced his followers to a life of a authentic Christian discipleship and the attainment of true happiness.  

Jesus said, “Store up for yourselves treasures in heaven” (Matthew 6:20). But how?  #GiveItUpForGod

I Like Big Bibles

“I like big Bibles, and I cannot lie!” This is the opening line from a viral comedy song / music video created by our Lead Minister, Dan Smith (Google “Baby Got Book X”). This internet banger is all about a dude who loves the Scriptures and is searching for a godly lady who feels the same way.

Psalm 119 was also written by a poet who absolutely “delighted” in God’s Word. It’s the longest psalm (and chapter) in the entire Bible, and it’s jam-packed with spiritual nuggets about developing a growing relationship with God. From basics to advanced tips, these messages are a great way to start the New Year!  #ILikeBigBibles

Christmas is about the incarnation -- God becoming a human baby. John 1:1-14 says God (a.k.a., The Word) became flesh. Christmas is also about Jesus being the personification of some divine metaphors & attributes.  #MoChurchChristmas

Enemies relentlessly plotted, conspired, slandered, pursued, surrounded, and attacked a man named David. If your world is filled with drama, strife, and opposition, David’s prayer journal (The Book of Psalms) will provide you with a boatload of counsel and comfort.  #MoNMEs

Jesus often used stories and common cultural images to teach people about faith. In that vein, every year Momentum asks, “What can these movies – plus the Bible – teach us about loving God and loving people?” #MoMovies

When you get some bad news. When you get some awesome news. When you feel disconnected and alone. When you suddenly have a crisis on your hands and need to ask someone, “Will you please take my kids? I’m not sure when I’ll be back.” These are the moments when we question: “Who cares?”

Most people want to relate to Jesus on their own terms, but a “fake Jesus” that we create to meet our needs can’t really change or challenge us. If you want a Jesus that can actually transform you, you have to search for the real Jesus. In the earliest gospel account in existence, a writer named Mark introduces us to “The Real Jesus.” #MoRealJesus

Jeremy Speth, an Elder here at Momentum, shares his story about his spiritual journey and service.

Jesus used parables and familiar images to teach people about God “in plain English.” That’s why, every once in a while, we break out some old comic books and talk about how they connect to the Bible.  #MoSuperhero

Parable = a story with a spiritual point

NOTE: In this series, our Lead Minister will be using The Action Bible (a highly visual, comic-book style version of the Scriptures) as one of his teaching tools. Check it out! Many kids and adults will love it!

Around 700 BC, the great prophet Isaiah predicted a mysterious figure called the Servant of the LORD. In four fascinating prophecies, nicknamed “The Servant Songs,” Isaiah presents God’s gospel (“good news”) for humankind. #MoServant

The Scriptures teach us that -- in a sacrificial, lifelong commitment -- true love cleaves, or clings, to one another. So, practically speaking, what does “Love in Cleave-Land” really look like? #MoCleave

This past Sunday, some of our Momentum Staff shared their powerful stories with us.

Back in the day, a mixtape was a compilation of songs, typically from a bunch of different sources, all recorded (a.k.a. “dubbed”) onto the same cassette. The Book of Psalms is the mixtape of the Bible. A compilation of “songs” from different writers, genres, & moods, all collected in one book. Let’s listen together.  #MoMixtape

Have you ever been haunted by something? Not a poltergeist or the Blair Witch but something even scarier. The late philosopher/theologian Paul Tillich once said that modern man is disturbed by three anxieties that nothing in this world can satisfy: meaninglessness, guilt, & death. On a brighter note, God tells us that He is the only one big enough to chase those specters away.  #MoHaunted
