Reach Church

God of Comfort

Even when we may endlessly pour into others, let's discover how God's true posture towards us brings true healing.

Becoming a Non-Anxious Presence, Pt. 1

In the midst of a reactive-world, Jesus models how we might practice “a non-anxious presence.”

10 Lessons from 10 Years

Pastor Brian McCormack shares ten lessons learned during the ten years since Reach was planted.

Good Friday: The Crucified King

“Either sin is with you, lying on your shoulders, or it is lying on Christ, the Lamb of God.” – Martin Luther

Palm Sunday: The Unexpected King

The King of Glory returns to Jerusalem, though not as the king the people wanted, but the one they needed - as the Passover Lamb.

I’m Still Coming Back for You.

It can be hard to place our foremost hope in the return of Jesus. Learning to await his second coming unlocks joy and confidence many of us have not experienced before.

My Word is Still True.

In a culture of false narratives, Scripture provides the true and better story we all long for.

Silence is Still Not an Option.

Testimony goes up, out, and down. Telling the story of God's work in our lives glorifies Him, encourages and stirs up those around us, and directly confronts the kingdom of darkness.

I Still Have a Plan for the Nations.

God’s heart for the nations was introduced in Genesis, re-launched in Jesus, came to fruition in Acts, and culminates in Revelation. What’s our role in that mission today?

The Way to Joy is Still Giving.

God calls us to give him everything we have. Our dollars, and our days. As we learn to practice generosity, God multiplies it all for his glory, our joy, and the good of our city.

I Still Hear Your Prayers.

Prayer is an invitation to join Jesus who is already interceding for us. While it might be hard to believe that He still hears our prayers, He helps us in our unbelief!

You Still Have the Spirit.

There is only one conclusion to make about a God who writes a story where his Spirit comes to dwell within — He is whole-heartedly committed to being near to you. And if He is always near, "hopeless" does not exist.

You are Still My Witnesses.

God calls his peoples to be witnesses of his marvelous kingdom — to be a light to the ends of the earth.

My Kingdom is Still Here.

Too many Christians are passionate about the Gospel, and excited about their church, but somewhere between confused and apathetic when it comes to the Kingdom. Some words straight from the King can remedy this problem.

I’m Still Alive.

A dead historical figure has nothing to offer you. A God who is alive means there is always hope.

The Beginning Is A Great Place to Start

There is change waiting for those who have the humility to start (or start over) at the beginning. When we look at the beginning of God’s story, we find the foundations needed for building a life of joy and purpose.

A New & Living Way

Jesus has initiated a new and living way, inviting us to follow him in community.

Following Jesus In a Culture of Hurry

In a world that is constantly vying for our attention and time, research shows that Christians are more stressed and anxious than ever. But Jesus invites us to slow and take his lifestyle instead.

“He Will Surely Do It” – Encouragement for the New Year

Emilie McCormack closes 2021 with an encouragement from God's promises in Scripture.

Christmas Eve 2021

The King wants to dwell with his people.

Christmas Eve (4:00pm)

The King Gives Us Joy

The good news brought great, unexpected joy of unexpected royalty to unexpected recipients, with an unexpected end to the story.

The King Gives Us Peace

On the day of Christ's arrival, angels make their famous declaration; "Peace on earth." Experiencing the three aspects of this peace — with God, in the Church, and with all people — is the gift we long for.

The King Gives Us Faith

The word ‘faith’ is widely used, despite lacking a universally agreed upon definition. Biblical faith has two essential ingredients — sincere belief, and obedient action. Focusing on the latter just might be the way out of the doubt you’ve been walking in.

The King Gives Us Hope

A people in darkness of seen a great light. Receive it, and share it.

Boldness & Humility

In order for the Church to survive, we must stay humbly rooted in Scripture, remaining urgent and bold as we preach the Gospel, and doing it ALL with patience and humility.

Evangelism & Justice

We want his kingdom to come and his will to be done, in Seattle as it is in Heaven. When we use words to see this happen, we call it evangelism. When we use our deeds, we call it justice.

Spirit & Truth

The Father is seeking worshipers who worship in spirit and in truth. Culture is bankrupt in spirit and in truth. When the will of God is aligned with the needs in our cities, there is profound opportunity. But before we can bring what is needed, we must first receive what we need.

The Cross & the Spirit are Enough

Paul prescribes four things to his readers as he closes his letter to the Galatians he loves so much: Carry one another. Sow to the Spirit. Don't give up. Boast in the cross.

Walk in the Spirit

Every follower of Jesus will experience the paralyzing effect as the desires of our flesh battle with the desires of the Spirit. The answer is not trying harder; but tapping into a supernatural resource outside ourselves.
