    Wednesday Night Prayer

    Every Wednesday

    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:
Rediscovering Biblical Evangelism

 

What if the church has spent decades teaching Christians to evangelize in ways the apostles never did? What if forcing a gospel presentation, pressuring someone to pray, and measuring success by immediate decisions has done more harm than good? In Acts, Peter does not preach to pagans the way Paul does. Paul does not quote Scripture to people who do not recognize its authority. Neither man treats people like a sales target. They listen. They understand their audience. They challenge false beliefs. They make Jesus clear. So why do many Christians still use the same script on everyone? Is every believer actually called to be an evangelist? What is the difference between evangelism, witnessing, and discipleship? Have we mistaken awkwardness for boldness, pressure for conviction, and manipulation for faithfulness? Join Pastor Jason as he explores what Peter and Paul actually show us in the book of Acts, and what it means to rediscover biblical evangelism.
