Speed Dating
August 23rd
Join us for a weekly time of prayer at The 2101. When we meet God, we want him to say “Essential is a PRAYING church. This prayer time will not be focused on anything in particular, it will just be a meaningful time of prayer for whatever is on your heart.
You Belong Here
We don’t care what you wear, how many piercings or tattoos you have, what candidate you voted for or even if you know anything about the Bible. We are a church filled with people just like you with every kind of story imaginable.
It’s dark, it’s loud, and it smells a lot like coffee. We love Jesus.
We love the Bible, and we love our church.
We’re having a ton of fun, but we aren’t just playing around.
We love what we get to do here.
We think you’ll love it too.

Last week’s Teaching:
Are You Too Busy for Heaven?
What if the biggest thing keeping people from Jesus isn’t disbelief, anger, or intellectual objections? What if we’re simply too busy to care?
In Luke 14, Jesus tells the story of a great banquet where the invited guests don’t reject the host because they hate him. They’re distracted by possessions, work, and relationships. Their excuses sound surprisingly familiar.
In this message, Pastor Tim explores one of the most overlooked barriers to faith: indifference. Jesus can feel like something we’ll get around to eventually, but our lives are shorter than we think, and the most important questions shouldn’t always lose to the most urgent ones.
The good news is that Jesus’ invitation still stands: There is still room at the table.
