Soma Culver City Brad Watson, Chris Scruton, Casey Samulski, and others

In our last gathering we had Matt Woo, Shannon Woo, and Maurissa Edwards share their stories about what God has done in their lives and through Soma during their time in the church.

In this gathering Brad talks about how you can evaluate a church beyond "Sundays" before sitting down with Jessica Salzman and David Holtgrewe as they share their stories about Soma.

In this special gathering, Brad Watson shares biblical wisdom on how to prepare your heart to be sent to a new church and how the Spirit and our desires shape what we look for in a new church. Brad starts by articulating what the church is. Read more of his notes here.

After that, Sarah Wechsler, Evie Hutton, and Casey Samulski answer questions and share stories from the early days of Soma and how they’ve seen God work in and through them.

The Resurrection of Something Dead to Life, is the most outlandish, surprising, and honestly courageous beliefs to have. Dead things don’t come back to life. It’s part of the definition of death--beyond resuscitation. However, the story of Easter is that Jesus was confirmed died Friday at 11am, was buried and then came out of the grave on Sunday around 7 or 8 in the morning. it’s not just hanging out on the edge of the Christian faith—it’s not a sub point or peripheral claim of Christianity. It is core to the essence of the faith. It’s foundational to the belief anyone has in Jesus. It’s essential to the nature of Christ. It’s not a part of the hope—it’s the whole hope. In this sermon, Brad Watson preaches through 1 Corinthians 15:1-22 and how we can have confidence in Jesus' Resurrection

In this Palm Sunday, Brad Watson preaches through John 12:12-19, Psalm 118, and Zechariah 9. Through these passages we’re brought into Holy Week, our hearts are prepared, and our lives become attentive to the need and work of Jesus.

Chris, Casey, and Brad share about the future of Soma Culver City and Brad preaches from 1 Peter 1 on the hope of God amidst trials.
