Ever feel trapped in a broken system at work, wondering if anything you do really matters? In Part 4 of our Coworking series, Pastor Filipe looks at an ancient story about a runaway named Onesimus who found the strength to walk back into a difficult workplace situation. When you discover your true worth and identity, you can stop running from broken systems and start stepping into a bigger purpose. Having courage on Monday means facing hard conversations, choosing integrity, and recognizing that where you work matters. This week's service also includes an inspiring message from executive and author Nona Jones on living out bold values in your career. Whether you've been following Jesus for years or are just exploring faith for the very first time, there is a place here for you. Join us online or at one of our Bay Area campuses, and invite a coworker or friend to join the conversation.

Have you ever felt like your faith and your work exist in two separate worlds? What if the gap between Sunday and Monday isn't a new issue—and the answers don't lie in another career change or self-help strategy, but rather in the Bible through Paul’s insightful approach to navigating complex workplace relationships? Can your faith influence your workplace? What if your job during the week is not just about creating something remarkable, but about loving someone deeply? What does it mean to and why is it important to build bridges between people and between God and people? Join us as we continue our impactful series, Coworking. Don’t miss an incredible conversation with Pat Gelsinger, who has led some of the largest technology companies in the world and exemplifies what it means to bridge faith and work at the highest level.

What if your work could mean more than just a paycheck or a way to fill time? This message explores how we're made in the image of a Creator God — which means creating, cultivating, and contributing isn't just what you do, it's who you are. Hear from a Nurse (Arik Alba), Creative Strategist (Sarah Lin), and Engineer/Pastor (Immanuel Perli) about how they've discovered purpose and mission in their everyday work. Whether you're a student, working from home, or in an office, if you have questions on how your Sunday faith can be carried to your Monday work, this message is for you! Join us as we kick off our new series, Coworking, which challenges how you can stay anchored in your beliefs not just at home, but also at your workplace. Let’s explore together how to unleash our greater purpose and our God-centered roles at work.

What if your work could mean more than it does right now? This conversation explores a foundational truth: you were made in the image of a Creator God—which means creating, cultivating, and contributing isn't just what you do; it's who you are. Did you ever think about how your personal self could impact your workplace? Together, we unpack what it really looks like to influence others—not through perfectly timed Gospel speeches, but through excellence, joy, unity, and love lived out in public over time. Whether you're in tech, healthcare, education, or raising kids at home, your work has kingdom significance when you see it through God's eyes. Join us this Block Party Sunday to receive your significance and blessings from our God!

You might have experienced a loved one on a hospital and you praying and hoping for things to turn out good. Or you might have encountered the wait to meet the right person, or a longing and waiting for the job you wanted. Yes, life’s reality isn’t always lived in crisis or breakthrough, but in the waiting that is in between. Join us today as we continue our series, God On Mute. We will explore what happened on Holy Saturday when Heaven seemed silent. What work was God doing in the dark? Let us come together to understand what work is our God doing during your times of waiting, hoping, and praying

What do you do when God feels silent in your darkest hour? Where do you turn when life crushes you and heaven seems silent? If you've ever questioned why God remains silent, especially when you need Him the most, this message is for you! In this powerful message, we explore the Thursday before Jesus was crucified—when He prayed desperately in the Garden of Gethsemane, asking God to take away His suffering. Is our God truly on mute? Join us as we kick off our series, God On Mute. What should we do when we feel like God is silent? You don't have to face this alone! Let’s come together to explore why God sometimes seems silent and what we can do in those times.

Love isn't just a feeling—it's a choice you make every day and a commitment you cultivate over a lifetime. In this message, Filipe and Mandy Santos explore the biblical concept of agape love and why it's the foundation for thriving relationships. What if the quality of your relationships could transform by understanding what real love actually means? Whether you're single, dating, or married. Could changing the seeds you're planting today completely transform your relational harvest tomorrow? Join us as we wrap up our series, For Better Or For Worse. Let us together learn practical ways to create meaningful moments and establish life-giving rhythms in your relationships. No matter where you are in your relationship journey, it's never too late to start building love in God's way. Because your past doesn’t determine your future, your choices do.

What if the most misunderstood passage about marriage is actually the most freeing? In this message, we unpack Ephesians 5 and Genesis 2 to discover that God's design for marriage roles isn't about control or hierarchy—it's about mutual submission, distinct gifts, and together revealing something about God that neither person can show alone. Are you building a marriage the enemy is scared of, or one he's excited about? We tackle the hard questions: What does biblical submission actually mean? How do husbands lead like Jesus—and why does that look more like doing laundry than being served? What does it mean to be "different by design, dangerous together"? Join us for the third week of “For Better Or For Worse.” Whether you're married or single, this conversation will challenge cultural assumptions and bad theology while offering a vision for relationships built on freedom, not fear.
