Don't Stop Believing | Hope for Everyone | Phil EuBank

For over 150 years, Menlo Church has been part of something bigger than itself—generation after generation choosing to invest in hope they might never fully see. Hope for Everyone is more than a campaign; it’s a declaration that God’s not done yet. In this two-week series, we’ll revisit the vision that launched a bold step of faith last year—and celebrate how far we’ve come. But more than that, we’ll explore what it means to keep going. To believe again. To keep building even while we wait. Whether you’ve been with us since the beginning or are just joining the journey, now’s the time to lean in. God is still working. And He’s still using people like us to bring hope to everyone.

Angry About Grace | Menlo Midweek | Matt Summers, Mark Morinishi

As we close out our series on Jonah we have Matt Summers joining us to talk sumo wrestling, the dangers of comfort, the importance of friendship and the difference hope can make.

Angry About Grace | Numb and Numb-er | Phil EuBank

In Jonah 4, we meet a bitter prophet and a compassionate God. Jonah is angry that God cares too much, and if we’re honest, we’ve been there, too. This message will call us to choose compassion even when it hurts, and let God soften the places we’ve grown hard.

From Running to Returning | Numb and Numb-er | Menlo Church Live Stream

Jonah 3 is the moment Jonah shows up. But is his heart in it? This week explores the disconnect between action and intention. Can we obey God while still growing in love for what He loves? It’s a hard but hopeful message for those stuck in duty without desire.

In the Belly of the Beast | Menlo Midweek | Jevon Washington, Mark Morinishi

This week, Executive Pastor Jevon Washington takes us deeper into Jonah chapter 2 in our Numb & Numb-er series! Together we explore powerful themes of grace, hitting rock bottom, and what it looks like to run to God instead of from Him. Jevon shares real talk about “drug church,” redemption, and the mercy of God that meets us in the darkest places.

Plus — you’ll get to hear some of Jevon’s original music, written and produced to pair with this series! 🎵 It’s a creative and moving look at how faith and art come together to tell the story of Jonah and remind us that God is actively waiting where we’re avoiding.

In the Belly of the Beast | Numb and Numb-er | Jevon Washington

Jonah 2 is raw and poetic—a cry from the depths. It reminds us that rock bottom isn’t the end of the story; it’s often the place of clarity. This week invites the church to sit honestly in pain or regret, and recognize the mercy that still meets them there.

Sleeping Through the Storm | Menlo Midweek | Phil EuBank, Susy Deline, Mark Morinishi

Phil, Suzy and Mark explore quiet quitting, running from the calling of God, and how in many cases we are more similiar to Jonah than we like to admit. We also get some practical steps on how to help identify when we are numb, and ways to start claiming our hearts back.

Sleeping Through the Storm | Numb and Numb-er | Phil EuBank

Jonah wasn’t just running from a mission; he was running from feeling. He was numb to Nineveh, bitter toward mercy, and disengaged from his calling. In this four-week series, we’ll trace Jonah’s emotional and spiritual journey as a mirror for our own: a warning against apathy, a call to compassion, and a God who keeps pursuing even when we shut down.
