    We Dream | Like Jesus

    Like JesusScripture: 1 John 4:16–21; Romans 12:1–2 Runtime: ~6 min It's hard to follow someone you dread. A lot of us carry a quiet sense that God is mostly disappointed, keeping a tally somewhere. Today we see why that fear has no place in a relationship built on mercy — and what it looks like to offer God our whole lives in response, not just the parts we think of as spiritual. In this episode: Why John can say believers "are like Jesus" in this world — not sinless perfection, but a new standing before God because of the crossHow perfect love drives out the fear of judgment that keeps us at a distance from GodPaul's call in Romans 12 to offer our bodies — our whole, ordinary lives — as a living sacrifice and act of true worshipWhy the order always matters: God's mercy comes first, and transformation follows from there, never the other way around Reflection: Are there areas where a low-grade dread of God still shapes how you approach Him? What would it look like to come closer? Name one ordinary part of this week where offering it to God would actually change what you do.

    We Dream | He Loved Us First

    Day 1 — He Loved Us FirstScripture: 1 John 4:7–12 Runtime: ~9 min Most of us are fans of something — a team, a singer, a show we could talk about for an hour. But fandom is admiring from a distance, and it's conditional. Following is different. It's walking in someone's steps and becoming like them. This week we're asking what it actually looks like to move from casual fan of Jesus to faithful follower — and it starts, before anything we do, with what He's already done. In this episode: The vision behind the We Dream series, and this week's focus on becoming faithful followers rather than casual fansThe difference between a fan (admiring from the stands) and a follower (walking in someone's steps and imitating their way)How 1 John reframes "God is love" as an action, not a feeling — proven by God sending His Son as the actual means of dealing with sinWhy training, effort, and spiritual growth never earn us more of God's love — we already have all of it Reflection: Where have you been measuring God's love for you by how you're doing, rather than by what He's already done? Who's one person in your life where loving them well would mean something specific — and maybe inconvenient — this week? Name it, then do it.

    We Dream | Draw Near Together

    Day 5 — Draw Near TogetherScripture: Hebrews 10:19–25 Runtime: ~5 min All week we've watched the exiles chase one thing: getting near to God. The altar, the sacrifices, the temple foundation — all of it pointed toward something bigger. Today the writer of Hebrews names what that something is. Everything the altar pointed toward, Christ has become — and because of him, the invitation is simple: draw near. In this episode: How Jesus becomes both the sacrifice and the great priest that the exiles' altar could only point towardWhy authentic worship is "a sincere heart and full assurance of faith," not a performanceHow drawing near to God is meant to pull us toward each other — worship was never designed to stay private Reflection: The exiles needed an altar, a priest, and a sacrifice to come near to God. What has it changed for you that Jesus is all three? Who's the one person you could spur on toward love and good deeds this week?

    We Dream | Bring All the Feels

    Day 4 — Bring All the FeelsScripture: Ezra 3:10–13 Runtime: ~6 min The foundation is finished — just the foundation, nothing more — and the whole community stops to throw a worship service anyway. Trumpets, cymbals, a shout so loud it carries for miles. But underneath the celebration, the older men who remember Solomon's temple in its glory weep aloud, right there in the middle of it. And nobody shushes them. In this episode: Why the exiles praised God at the halfway point instead of waiting for the finished productHow joy and grief blended together so completely that "you couldn't tell which was which" (v. 13) — and why that's what honest worship sounds likeThe temptation to arrive at church wearing the face we think it requires, instead of bringing what's actually true Reflection: Which are you more likely to bring into worship this week — your joy or your grief? What keeps the other one hidden?

    We Dream | Costly, Not Casual

    Day 3 — Costly, Not CasualScripture: Ezra 3:7–9 Runtime: ~5 min Before they laid a single stone, the exiles camped out in flimsy shelters for the Festival of Tabernacles — a deliberate reminder that their ancestors had nothing but God in the wilderness. Then, poor and scraping by in a ruined city, they hired skilled craftsmen and paid to ship in premium cedar. Nobody would've blamed them for cutting corners. They didn't. In this episode: Why the exiles' choice to import Lebanon cedar — the same wood Solomon used — makes their worship "costly, not casual"The difference between worship and routine: one gives God our best, the other gives him the leftoversHow this shows up in the depth of our prayers, the eagerness of our giving, and the energy we bring to serving Reflection: The exiles didn't have much, but they still sent for the best. Where does God get your best this week — and where does he get the leftovers?

    We Dream | Perfect Can Be the Enemy of Better

    Day 2 — Perfect Can Be the Enemy of BetterScripture: Ezra 3:1–6 Runtime: ~5 min A group of Jewish exiles finally makes it home to Jerusalem — and it's a wreck. Broken walls, burned-out houses, a pile of rubble where the temple used to stand. No good reason to celebrate. And yet the first thing they build isn't a house or a wall — it's an altar. In this episode: Why the exiles worshipped before a single stone of the temple foundation was laidThe temptation to promise God "the front of the line" only once life settles down — and why that moment never actually arrivesWhat it looks like to build an altar in the rubble instead of waiting for ideal conditions Reflection: What are you waiting to have in place before you give God your wholehearted attention? What's one act of worship you could move to the front of the line this week?

    We Dream | More Than a Song

    Psalm 95, Colossians 1, Ezra 3 & Hebrews 10Narrated & Written by Lisa Scheffler | Series: We Dream Day 1 — More Than a SongScripture: Psalm 95:1–7 Runtime: ~10 min We're kicking off a brand new series, and it starts with a question worth sitting with: what if the "better" we keep chasing was never about better habits or better focus, but about becoming a church shaped by real worship? Over the next four weeks we're dreaming big about what Christ Fellowship could become — starting this week with what it actually means to worship. In this episode: The vision behind the We Dream series: a "better church before a bigger church," built on authentic worship, faithful following, and love for neighbors and enemies alikeWhy the very first sermon ever preached at Christ Fellowship came from Colossians 1 — and why "we're all about Jesus" isn't just a sloganHow Psalm 95 moves from singing to kneeling, and what that progression reveals about what worship actually asks of usA preview of Ezra 3, where a group of exiles returns home to a city in ruins and worships before they rebuild anything else Reflection: Psalm 95 moves from singing to kneeling — what does that suggest about what worship asks of us? When you hear the word "worship," what's your first thought, and how might God be inviting you to widen it this week?

    Room For The Harvest | Another Harvest

    Another HarvestScripture: Matthew 9:35–38 Runtime: ~5 min All week we've traced the generosity of God — mercy and grace poured out like new wine dripping from mountains, overflowing the vats — and seen that this generosity arrived in the form of a person. Today Matthew 9 turns the harvest image in a different direction: the harvest isn't the abundance God pours out anymore. It's people waiting to be gathered, and we're the ones sent to bring them in. Jesus looks at the crowds — harassed and helpless, like sheep without a shepherd — and Matthew tells us what it does to him: real, visceral compassion. Then he tells his disciples to pray for the Lord of the harvest to send workers. A chapter later, those same disciples are the ones who get sent. The ones asked to pray for workers become the answer to their own prayer. Live It Out: This week, think of one person in your life who feels like a sheep without a shepherd — worn down, overlooked, waiting for someone to notice. Take one concrete step toward them: a call, an invitation, a specific act of care. Tell the Story: Jesus told his disciples to pray for workers, and then sent those same disciples out. Who is one person you could pray for by name this week — asking God to put a worker, maybe you, right in their path?
