Be Rich 2026: A Conversation with Janine Maxwell // Andy Stanley
Janine’s story began with seeing a need and deciding she couldn’t simply look away. What usually moves us from noticing a need to actually doing something about it?
Mind Games, Part 3: Living Freely // Joel Thomas
Transformation begins when we stop drifting toward what's familiar and start deliberately pursuing what's true.
Mind Games, Part 2: Responding Wisely // Joel Thomas
Our reactions may reveal more about what’s happening inside us than what’s happening around us.
Mind Games, Part 1: Seeing Clearly // Joel Thomas
Some of the things we believe most deeply about ourselves and others may not be as true as they feel.
Baptism Sunday // Reed Moore
It’s Baptism Sunday, and we’re celebrating seven people publicly declaring their decision to follow Jesus. Using Romans 6, Reed Moore unpacks the picture Paul paints of baptism—death, burial, and resurrection—and what it means to let an old life go so a new life can begin. This isn’t about figuring it all out. It’s about surrender. Whether you are exploring faith, have decided to follow Jesus but haven’t been baptized, or were baptized years ago and need a reminder, this message is for you.
Everyday Courage, Part 4: Courage in the Mirror // Andy Stanley
The fear of what might happen can keep us managing, hiding, and pretending long after we know something needs to change.
Everyday Courage, Part 3: By The Slice // Andy Stanley
Blame has a way of protecting us from an uncomfortable truth: the other person may not be the only one with something to own.
Everyday Courage, Part 2: It's Complicated // Andy Stanley
Sometimes what we call “complicated” is really fear in disguise. And until we name it honestly, we'll never find the courage to move forward.
Everyday Courage, Part 1: The Win // Andy Stanley
Your greatest victory may not be in getting the outcome you want, but discovering a different kind of win.
None of My Business? // Andy Stanley
Everyone wants people who will show up when life begins to unravel. Far fewer of us are willing to be the kind of friend who steps in before it does.
Anchored, Part 3: Your True and Proper Worship // Grant Partrick
In Anchored, a different speaker each week shares a passage of Scripture that has become a personal anchor—a truth they’ve returned to again and again throughout their lives. In Part 3, Grant Partrick shares why Romans 12:1 has been that passage for him. Paul’s words point to a deeper truth: we were made by and for God, and worship is our response to his mercy. Through Paul’s call to offer our whole lives as a living sacrifice, we’re reminded that worship isn’t just something we do on Sunday. It will cost us something, because it was never meant...
Anchored, Part 2: TBD! // Jean Sohn
In Anchored, a different speaker each week shares a passage of Scripture that has become a personal anchor—a truth they’ve returned to again and again throughout their lives. In Part 2, Jean Sohn shares why Romans 12:2 has been that passage for her. After years of centering her identity on achievement and positive thinking, Jean discovered that while those things could encourage her, they couldn't heal the deeper wounds that surfaced when life became too heavy for her to carry alone. Through her story, we’re reminded that renewing our minds isn’t about trying harder to believe something good about ou...
Anchored, Part 1: What's So Amazing About Grace // Reed Moore
In Anchored, a different speaker each week shares a passage of Scripture that has become a personal anchor—a truth they’ve returned to again and again throughout their lives. In Part 1, Reed Moore shares why Luke 7:36–50 has been that passage for him. Through the story of the sinful woman and Simon the Pharisee, we’re reminded that the more aware we are of God’s grace, the more it shapes the way we love God and the people around us. As we begin this series, we’re encouraged to find the passages of Scripture that keep us anchored when life tries t...
Happy Birthday USA // Andy Stanley
The founders believed liberty was worth risking everything for, but they also understood it came with a hidden requirement. Two hundred fifty years later, that requirement matters more than ever.
The Matter With You, Part 2: Your Choice in the Matter // Andy Stanley
Many Christians spend their lives measuring themselves by whether or not they are obeying all the rules. That’s not what Jesus intended.
The Matter With You, Part 1: No Say in the Matter // Andy Stanley
Somewhere along the way, many of us began treating God's love and approval as something to earn. That assumption quietly shapes our relationship with God more than we realize.
Under Clear Blue Sky, Part 3: Embracing Responsibility // Joel Thomas
We often think freedom comes from having fewer obligations, but some of the most meaningful moments in life begin when we embrace a weight we never asked to carry.
Under Clear Blue Sky, Part 2: Constructing Stability // Joel Thomas
Long before the storm arrived, Noah made a decision about whose wisdom he would trust.
Under Clear Blue Sky, Part 1: Avoiding Catastrophe // Joel Thomas
Chaos rarely arrives all at once. It often begins with ordinary choices that seem reasonable until the consequences finally surface.
Under Clear Blue Sky, Part 1: Avoiding Catastrophe // Joel Thomas
Chaos rarely arrives all at once. It often begins with ordinary choices that seem reasonable until the consequences finally surface.
The Good Shepherd - Memorial Day 2026 // Reed Moore
Life can get confusing quickly. Between pressure, fear, relationships, and big decisions, it’s easy to feel lost or unsure of where to turn. In John 10, Jesus calls himself the Good Shepherd, reminding us that he is our guide and protector, and he wants to lead us into the life he created us for. This devotional explores how Jesus still speaks through Scripture, his Spirit, and the people he places around us—and why we can trust him even when life gets hard.
Sit, Walk, Stand: A Study in Ephesians, Part 3: Stand // Reed Moore
In Part 3 of Sit, Walk, Stand: A Study in Ephesians, Reed closes out by asking: “What does it look like to stand firm when life pushes back?” In Ephesians 6, Paul reminds us that the Christian life is not only about knowing who we are in Christ and learning how to live it out—it’s also a fight to stand firm in it. Through the armor of God, Paul shows us that we don’t stand in our own strength but in what Christ has already done for us. As fear, temptation, accusation, and lies push against our identity, we’re invited t...
Sit, Walk, Stand: A Study in Ephesians, Part 2: Walk // Reed Moore
In Part 2 of Sit, Walk, Stand: A Study in Ephesians, Reed challenges us to ask: “What does it actually look like to walk like Jesus?” In Ephesians 5, Paul reminds us that following Jesus is not about earning God’s love, but living from it. As dearly loved children of God, we are called to imitate Jesus by walking in love, living in the light, and choosing wisdom in our everyday lives. Over time, the closer we walk with Jesus, the more our lives begin to reflect him—not through perfection or performance, but through transformation.
Sit, Walk, Stand: A Study in Ephesians, Part 1: Sit // Reed Moore
In Part 1 of Sit, Walk, Stand: A Study in Ephesians, Reed Moore encourages us to ask ourselves this question: “Who do you think you are?” It’s a question that goes deeper than labels, roles, or achievements. Many of us might answer it with what we do, what we have, or what others say about us—but Jesus invites us to something more secure. Because what we believe, shapes everything. In Ephesians, Paul reminds us that before we do anything for God, we must first “sit” in who God says we are: chosen, adopted, forgiven, redeemed, and called his masterpiece. We don’t ear...
Three Ingredients For Relationships That Go The Distance, Part 3: A Rule // Andy Stanley
Healthy relationships aren’t built on rules, but they can’t survive without a particular one. And it’s a rule that removes every loophole.
Three Ingredients For Relationships That Go The Distance, Part 2: A Posture // Andy Stanley
The secret to stronger relationships isn’t being understood, but choosing to put someone else first, even when they don’t deserve it.
Three Ingredients For Relationships That Go The Distance, Part 1: A Confession // Andy Stanley
Every conflict feels like it’s about what someone else did, but the real source runs deeper and it’s hard to admit.
Easter at Gwinnett Church // Reed Moore
What once seemed foolish is now proven true: the cross is trustworthy and unshakeable. Join us as we rejoice in new life, reflect on God’s faithfulness, and celebrate the certainty and hope of the resurrection.
Good Friday at Gwinnett Church // Reed Moore
Though many saw the cross as foolishness or weakness, Paul reminds us that the cross is the power and wisdom of God, bringing victory, strength, and salvation. Join us for a night of reflection, gratitude, and intimate worship as we remember Christ’s sacrifice and the life-changing truth of his love.
Reasons Not to Panic About Bible Skepticism // John Dickson and Andy Stanley
The gap between skepticism and faith starts to close when Christianity is viewed through the lens of history. In this conversation with Andy Stanley and John Dickson, the story of Jesus is presented as something meant to be investigated, not avoided.
Inflection Point, Part 4: A Parable // Andy Stanley
Jesus regularly challenged people’s assumptions about both wealth and eternity, and when he did so it revealed that the way we handle what’s temporary points to what we truly believe is permanent.
Inflection Point, Part 3: Pouring Out // Andy Stanley
Many people experience faith primarily as something they attend or consume. But the moments that deepen faith most often come when we begin giving it away.
Inflection Point, Part 2: Pathway to Prosperity // Joel Thomas
It’s easy to assume that prosperity leads to generosity. But many times the opposite is true—generosity becomes the turning point that leads to prosperity.
Inflection Point, Part 1: Halfway There // Andy Stanley
One year ago, we kicked off our generosity initiative across our Atlanta-area churches. What if we’re not just making progress—but crossing into a defining moment?
Questions That Change Us, Part 3: What Do You Say That I Am? // Reed Moore
In Part 3 of Questions That Change Us, we come to one of the most important questions Jesus asks: “Who do you say I am?” It can be easy to talk about public opinion or what others believe about Jesus, but eventually, the question becomes personal. This isn’t about what the crowds say. It’s about your response. When you consider Jesus’s impact, actions, and claims, you’re faced with a decision that cannot be avoided. Who is Jesus to you? How you answer doesn’t just shape your beliefs—it has the power to change your life.
Questions That Change Us, Part 2: Do You Want To Get Well? // Reed Moore
In Part 2 of Questions That Change Us, we look at another powerful question Jesus asks: “Do you want to get well?” We may think the answer is an obvious one, but it actually may not be–because this question is about more than physical healing. It’s a question about desire, responsibility, and action. Do you truly want to get well? Are you willing to take the next step? Jesus shows us that healing is available, but transformation begins when we honestly answer his question.
Questions That Change Us, Part 1 // Reed Moore
In Part 1 of Questions That Change Us, we look at this question Jesus asks: “What do you want?” Jesus already knows the answer, but he encourages us to be honest with ourselves, to reflect on our deepest desires, and bring them before him. This is more than a question—it’s an invitation to honesty, courage, and growth. How we answer may not only shape our decisions but who we are becoming.
People Looking for Purpose
We often assume purpose requires perfection, while Jesus points to a kind of completeness that comes through growth, not flawlessness.
Who Needs Church? Part 3: People Looking for Answers // Andy Stanley
In a world full of opinions and advice, where do we go when our questions are personal, painful, and unresolved?
Who Needs Church? Part 2: People Looking for Help // Joel Thomas
People aren’t avoiding church because they don’t have needs, but because they’re unsure church is a safe place to be honest about them.
