    The Gospel of Mark: Treasure Him

    As the shadow of the cross draws near, two very different treasures are exposed in this passage. In the darkness, religious leaders and Judas calculate cost and control. In the light, Mary the sister of Martha, pours out what would have been nearly a year’s wages to anoint Jesus. Her extravagant offering wasn’t impulsive; it was deeply personal. She looked at her earthly wealth and decided that expressing her gratitude and joy for Jesus was worth more. The disciples saw waste. Jesus saw worship. They valued the activity of the kingdom, but she treasured the King Himself. And as Jesus received her gift, He revealed His own heart—He was walking toward burial, toward the cross, because His treasure was you. In the end, we all pour our lives out on something. The question is: what do you want to be remembered for? You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 8:45am and 10;30am CST every Sunday morning.

    Endurance for the Gospel - Friends of OneLife with Kelly Monaghan

    Endurance in the Christian life doesn’t happen by accident. It’s formed as we anchor ourselves to what matters most. If we drift from the gospel by adding to it, softening it, or moving beyond it, we lose our foundation. We are to hold the good news tightly and refuse to let anything replace it. But gospel clarity alone isn’t enough; we were never meant to walk alone. Scripture calls us sheep, not lone wolves. We need biblical community to help us endure, to strengthen us when we’re weak, and to help us lay down offense when relationships get hard. And underneath it all is a daily dependence on Jesus. We cannot sustain faithfulness in our own strength. Self-reliance eventually leads to fatigue, but remaining in the vine leads to life. As we keep going, we do so anchored in the gospel, committed to one another, and fully dependent on Christ who endured for us.

    Vision 2026: A People of His Presence

    How will anyone know we are distinct if God’s presence doesn’t go with us? Would we really be satisfied with blessing, momentum, or even success if His presence were missing? From Moses to the early church, God’s people have been marked by the reality of God among them. But we also see through the ministry of Jesus that it’s possible to limit the presence of God. In Nazareth, Jesus was met with unbelief and cynicism which limited the miracles He was able to do. In contrast, Bethany welcomed, hosted and gave space for Jesus to dwell. God shows up where He is wanted. When skepticism and disappointments shape us, they quietly close us off to what God desires to do. But when we lay those things down and choose to say yes again, we become a people who refuse to take another step without Him. We long not for the appearance of success, but for the manifest presence of God in our midst.  You can join our OneLife Sunday morning gatherings via livestream at 8:45am and 10;30am CST every Sunday morning.

    Pursuing the Spirit - Hearing From God

    God created us for relationship with Him, not one-way conversations where we do all the talking. He is a God who speaks! He guides, comforts, heals, and leads His people. We come to the Father not because of our effort, but because of His unfailing love. We are like sheep and we are to know the Shepherd's voice. God’s voice sounds like a loving Father, bringing comfort in sorrow, healing in brokenness, and hope when we fall short. He speaks in many ways, often into the ordinary rhythms of our lives, and His silence is not His absence. As a church, we want to move from simply believing God speaks to actively expecting Him to speak, making space to hear from Him and becoming a people truly led and filled by the Holy Spirit.

    Pursuing the Spirit - Grieving and Quenching

    Are you satisfied with your current relationship with God, or do you want more of His presence and nearness? A.W. Tozer once said we have as much of God as we actually want, inviting us to examine how we engage with Him. The Holy Spirit is not an impersonal force, but God Himself—our Advocate, the Spirit of truth, with us and in us. Because He is personal, He can be grieved or quenched when we neglect relationship, rely on ourselves, resist His work, or confine Him to what feels comfortable. While this doesn’t remove us from Christ, it can dull our awareness of God’s joy, peace, love, and nearness. The invitation is to reflect honestly on where we may have poured water on the Spirit’s work instead of fanning it into flame.

    Pursuing the Spirit - Filled

    Because we are Jesus people, we want all that Jesus has for us, and that means being a Spirit-empowered people. We live in a time with more Christian content and resources than ever before, yet the church can feel weaker and less effective than what we see in Scripture. The early church had far less than we do, and yet the gospel spread like wildfire because they were filled with the Holy Spirit in an extraordinary way. Jesus told His disciples to wait until they received power from the Spirit, showing that the Holy Spirit is not an optional extra but a necessity for the mission. This invites us to consider what we believe “normal” Christianity is—whether it’s shaped by tradition or by the Word of God—and to recognize the two primary works of the Holy Spirit: His indwelling work in every believer at salvation, and His ongoing infilling that empowers us again and again. As followers of Jesus, we are called to want more of God and to position ourselves for the infilling of the Holy Spirit through surrender, obedience, and persistent asking, becoming a people marked by His presence.

    Advent: When Heaven Breaks In

    Christmas is more than nostalgia or sentiment. It marks the moment God stepped into our world to begin the redemption of all things. In Luke 2, we’re invited to let the birth of Jesus interrupt our assumptions about this season and encounter the God of the nativity as He truly is. The angel doesn’t appear to the powerful or the polished, but to shepherds—men considered unclean, uneducated, poor, and socially insignificant. Yet these unlikely, unnamed outsiders are chosen to hear the good news first, reminding us that God’s kingdom is wonderfully upside down. Joy erupts when the gospel is fully understood, and this good news really is for all people. The shepherds respond with immediate faith—going, seeing, proclaiming, and worshiping. This Christmas, we’re invited to do the same: to not delay obedience, to proclaim what we’ve heard, and to worship our King with great joy, confident that the gospel has truly changed us.

    Advent: Choosing Faith Over Control

    What if the interruptions in your life are actually invitations to trust God more deeply? This week, we look at the birth of Jesus through the eyes of Joseph—a man faced with decisions that would reshape his life forever. From choosing compassion over reputation, believing an impossible truth, obeying God amid uncertainty, and ultimately rearranging his entire life around Jesus, Joseph models quiet faithfulness and courageous obedience. What felt like chaos was actually God’s providence at work, revealing that faith often requires trust before understanding. Joseph’s story invites us to ask the same questions: Will we believe God’s word? Will we obey when the path is unclear? And are we willing to reorder our lives around the person of Jesus—trusting that He is worth everything?
