In a culture saturated by celebrities, the Christian community isn't excluded. Famous people are all over the Christian world and is that okay?
From pastors to worship leaders and singers to actors, there are celebrities who follow Jesus. With the rise of social media, youtube, and even podcasts like this one, you can now see and follow all of these famous people. Is that dangerous? I guess you'll have to listen to see!
Tune in to hear what the Oasis staff (Ben, Jaena, and Brennen) has to say about JBeibs and Gucci Pastors.

With PART 2 in our summer Oasis series, Pastor Jaena focused in on "Love Mercy" from Micah 6:8
Is it enough to just "do" or is God calling us to something deeper? Through the story of Jonah, Jaena demonstrates our responsibility to not only act but to act with love in our hearts. Jonah eventually preached what God wanted to the Ninevites, but he did it with contempt and disdane for the people receiving his message. That was a problem for him and could be a problem for us. Get the whole picture when you listen to this message - "Love Mercy"

Who am I? One of the most asked and seemingly difficult questions to answer. Or is it?
Am I a father, son, worker, boss, friend, student....? How do I get the best identity possible? Well, we might argue these are all a bit off and you should listen why.

Money, money, money... MONEY! We are diving in to talk about it this week. Everybody in the world knows what money is, but do we all use it the way we are supposed to?

In the first summer Oasis for the year, Pastor Ben started our series on Micah 6:8 - "Do Justice, Love Mercy, and Walk Humbly with your God"
How did Jesus respond to the injustices of his time and what does that tell us about our response to injustice today?
Jesus addressed topics on women, race, class, and much more in the Sermon on the Mount, but we often don't read it as such. Listen to Ben unpack the middle-eastern context of Jesus in this message!
