    Lust | What If Jesus Was Serious? - Matthew 5:27-30 | Mitchell Johnson

    In Matthew 5:27–30, Jesus challenges us to look beyond outward behavior and examine the desires of our hearts. Lust distorts how we see and love others, but Jesus offers something greater than guilt, shame, or behavior modification. He offers grace that transforms us from the inside out.

    Anger | What If Jesus Was Serious? Matthew 5:21-26 | Mitchell Johnson

    Jesus reveals that sin isn’t just about our outward actions, but also what’s happening in our hearts. In this message, we explore why we get angry, how anger reveals what’s ruling our hearts, and how Jesus calls us to pursue reconciliation.Part of our What If Jesus Was Serious? series through the Sermon on the Mount at The Way Church in Austin, Texas.

    The Law | What if Jesus Was Serious? - Matthew 5:17-20 | Mitchell Johnson

    In our series What If Jesus Was Serious?, we’re walking through the Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5–7), exploring what it looks like to take Jesus at His word and build our lives around His teachings. In Matthew 5:17–20, Jesus reveals that He didn’t come to abolish the Law, but to fulfill it. God’s commands are good, but our obedience falls short. Through His life, death, and resurrection, Jesus accomplishes what we never could and offers us a grace that doesn’t just forgive us, but transforms how we live.

    Salt & Light | What If Jesus Was Serious? - Matthew 5:13-16 | Zach Lind

    In Week 4 of our “What If Jesus Was Serious?” series, we move from the Beatitudes into what happens when people shaped by Jesus’ Kingdom step out into the world. In Matthew 5:13–16, Jesus tells an ordinary group of fishermen, farmers, and tax collectors that they are the salt of the earth and the light of the world. Salt only works when it’s applied, and light only helps when it’s uncovered. Following Jesus means being present in the broken and dark places around us while remaining distinct from them.

    Peacemaking & Persecution | What If Jesus Was Serious? - Matthew 5:9-12 | Mitchell Johnson

    In Matthew 5:9–12, Jesus closes the Beatitudes by showing us what happens when people shaped by His Kingdom step into a broken world. We’re called to pursue peace, remain faithful when following Jesus costs us something, and remember that our circumstances don’t determine whether we are blessed.

    Who We Become | What If Jesus Was Serious? - Matthew 5:6-8 | Mitchell Johnson

    In Week 2 of our “What If Jesus Was Serious?” series, we continue walking verse by verse through the Sermon on the Mount, asking what would happen if we stopped speaking for Jesus and actually listened to Him as our King. In Matthew 5:6–8, Jesus describes the kind of people we become under His Kingship: hungry for what is right, generous with mercy, and undivided in heart. Following Jesus doesn’t simply change what we believe—it transforms what we desire, how we treat others, and who has our hearts. Ultimately, these Beatitudes aren’t a checklist for earning God’s favor. They are an invitation into a life being transformed by Jesus, with an incredible promise at the end: “They will see God.”

    The Good Life | What if Jesus Was Serious - Matthew 5:3-5 | Mitchell Johnson

    “What If Jesus Was Serious?” is a new series through the Sermon on the Mount, where Jesus shows us what the good life truly looks like. In week one, we look at Matthew 5:3–5 and the first three Beatitudes. Jesus announces that the good life is available to those who come empty-handed, mourn what is broken and surrender control. The kingdom is not earned by having enough or holding everything together. It is received by those who know they need the King.

    Jesus Is The Way - John 14:1-6 | Mitchell Johnson

    On the first official Sunday of The Way Church, we look at the truth at the center of our name and mission: Jesus is the Way. In John 14, Jesus speaks to troubled hearts and declares, “I am the way, the truth, and the life.” There is a Way home. There is a Way back to God. And His name is Jesus.

    Prayerful Dependence - Acts 1 | Mitchell Johnson

    Before the church ever moved, the church prayed. In our final preview service before launch, we walk through the prayer life of the early church in Acts and see why prayer wasn’t simply their launch strategy, but their permanent posture. As The Way prepares to launch, this is a call to become a people marked by prayerful dependence, no matter how big we get, believing God for a gospel awakening in every high-rise, alleyway, and dorm room. The mission of God requires the power of God, so the people of God must be a people of prayer.

    Become - John 14:12 | Zach Lind

    The Way Back is a four-week series on what it looks like to follow Jesus: Belong, Believe, Become and Bless. Becoming like Jesus is more than knowing the right things or trying harder; it’s allowing His grace, His words, and His ways to transform every part of our lives. In week three, we look at the life of Peter and discover four rhythms of following Jesus: Turn & Trust, Hear & Obey, Receive & Reflect, and Treasure & Tell. As we grow in friendship with Jesus and receive His grace, He forms us into people who look more like Him for the sake of the world around us.

    Believe - Luke 15:11-32 | Temi Agbaje

    The Way Back is a four-week series on what it looks like to follow Jesus: Belong, Believe, Become and Bless. Believing in God is more than believing He exists; it means trusting that His way is better than anything else. In week two, we look at Luke 15 and the story of the prodigal son, where Jesus shows us the emptiness of trusting the world, the burden of trusting ourselves, and the joy of coming home to a Father who runs toward us with grace.

    Belong - Luke 19:1-10 | Mitchell Johnson

    The Way Back is a four-week series on what it looks like to follow Jesus: Belong, Believe, Become and Bless. Jesus welcomes people long before they have it all together. In week one, we look at Luke 19 and the story of Zacchaeus, a man the crowd looked past, whom Jesus saw, called by name and changed.
