A New Year Q&A

This Sunday marks our first Sunday of 2026, and there’s something meaningful about beginning a new year together as a church family. As we gather, I want to set the direction for where we’re heading in the year ahead. We’ll spend time reflecting on the kind of community God is forming here at Reach, and what it looks like for grace to move beyond something we believe into something we live by.

As Brennan Manning once said, “Put bluntly, the American church today accepts grace in theory but denies it in practice.” This new series will challenge all of us to close that gap. It will be deeply challenging, but also deeply transformative. We often talk about the vertical reality of grace - how God meets us in Jesus, not based on performance or effort, but grounded in His love and mercy. But grace was never meant to stop there. When it truly takes hold of our hearts, it reshapes how we relate to one another, horizontally.

This Sunday begins a new series called "Different on Purpose: A Culture of Grace." As we start a new year, my prayer is that grace becomes more visible and more practiced in our lives. Not just on Sundays, but in the way we live every day. I hope you’ll make it a priority to be with us this Sunday as we start the new year together!

See you tomorrow at 10am!
