Scripture is filled with instances where Jesus told us to be "childlike" in our faith. He often juxtaposed this joy-filled, eager and willing childlike spirit with the immaturity and childish ways of the disciples and others. Join us this series as we look at several children in Scripture who give us a glimpse of what Jesus meant when he said the Kingdom belongs to "such as these".

Despite being beaten within an inch of his life, imprisoned, mocked and shipwrecked on multiple occasions, Paul seemed to have an unflappable joy even in the midst of his circumstances. How is that possible? Perhaps it's because he found his "sweet spot" where God's promise and His Kingdom purpose intersected? Join us tonight as we dive deeper into the reason for Paul's joy.
In a world where all it seems we get is bad news, isn't it time for something positive in your life? The media isn't offering it. Social media isn't offering it. The government isn't offering it. The pandemic isn't offering it. Where on earth are we going to find it? Join us this series as we remind ourselves of the Good News of the Gospel. God knows you. God loves you. God wants to forgive you. God has invited you to participate in His Kingdom work. That's really good news!

If you're like me, perhaps over the course of your life there have been times when you said, "I want more". Maybe it's more money, more happiness or more excitement. Perhaps you've even said from time to time, "I want more of God". Have you ever stopped to wonder if God ever says the same thing about us? Does he expect more? Does he desire more? Does he hope for more? Perhaps it is time we think about how we can give God more of us.

In the wake of Jesus' ascension, the 12 disciples/apostles found themselves in over their heads. New believers were joining the movement every day and the work of the Kingdom was growing exponentially. In their wisdom, they knew it wasn't possible to do all of the work themselves, so they chose to delegate the day to day work of ministry to those who were deeply rooted in their faith and full of the wisdom of the Spirit. Join us as we look at how that should affect the way we do ministry today!
If you’ve grown up in church for any length of time, you’ve probably heard prayer defined as a conversation with God. While that’s true, the reality is that it is so much more. Prayer is an invitation to an encounter with God that leaves you and others around you forever changed. It’s a discipline that requires consistency and humility. And, it requires us to take the focus off of ourselves and turn our faces towards God. Join us this series as we unpack the model prayer, commit to praying for one another and learn how to pray into God’s will for His Kingdom.

The early church struggled with the tension between Paul's message that we are saved by grace apart from our works and James' message that a faith without works is dead. That tension has carried on throughout the modern history of the church. What responsibility do we have for our faith walk in response to God's gift of grace that we can do nothing to earn? Join us this series as we unpack what Scripture says about holy living and our responsibility to cultivate the seeds of grace and salvation that God has planted into our lives into healthy fruit that displays the character of Christ.

When Paul wrote his letter to the church at Corinth and laid out the importance of the Resurrection, he was putting into writing for one of the first times, the significance of what we now call Easter. Join us today as we celebrate a Risen Savior and learn from the impact his resurrection had on the apostle.
There's something powerful about a well-crafted story isn't there? Great stories inspire us, challenge us, educate and inform us and even convict us at times. Jesus knew that sometimes the best way to convey deep spiritual truth was through the power of story. Nearly 1/3 of what we have recorded in the Gospels about Jesus' ministry are his parables. Join us this series as we unpack a few of them and see the powerful lessons they have to teach us.

What happens when our love for God compels us to a deeper love for others? We get the true meaning of charity! Join us tonight, on this Valentine's Day, as we look at the importance of our love having both vertical and horizontal expressions.
Have you ever felt like it was a constant struggle to live into the abundant life that Christ has called us to? I mean, it's one thing to accept the grace of Jesus and experience new life. It's another thing entirely to leave our past behind and walk in freedom from the grave clothes of our past. Join us this week as we look at the full story of why Jesus raised Lazarus from the dead and discuss the importance of taking off the grave clothes.
There's a big difference between following Jesus and being a true disciple. Peter, James and John found this out while on a mountain with Jesus and they nearly missed out on the glory of God because they weren't fully awake to what was happening around them. Join us this week as we talk about the danger of going through the motions, but missing out on the glory of God that he wants to reveal to us.
If I were to ask you what person had the biggest impact on the formation of the New Testament who would you choose and why? What if the answer to that question isn't so obvious? Join us this week as we look at an unsung hero of the 1st century church, without whom, much of the Scripture we now know might never have been written!
When the storms of life come, and they will, it's incredibly important to know that faith isn't the absence of fear or anxiety in the face of danger, but rather it is our ability to remember that Jesus is in the boat with us!
Join us tonight as we take a look at Paul's letter to the Ephesians and see how it might just be exactly what he would write to the United States in the midst of all the turmoil we currently find ourselves in as a nation.
When God tells Moses that he is the "I AM" in Exodus 3, it is a pivotal moment in redemptive history. God's name discloses who He is and what He is like. The Gospel of John records 7 specific "I AM" statement of Jesus in which Jesus not only describes himself but also declares himself to be God! What if, however, the events of the birth of Jesus point to these I AM statements of Jesus long before he ever spoke a word? Join us this Advent series as we look at how the birth of Jesus clue us in to who He really is!

Have you ever noticed that some of the greatest lessons Jesus ever taught were around a meal. The Gospels mention food and eating more than 100 times and the book of Luke outlines at least 10 times where Jesus took advantage of teachable moments while eating with friends and foes to pour out his wisdom, correction and direction. Join us this series as we look at some of these lessons and ask ourselves what God is trying to teach us.

What role does politics play in our faith? Bigger question... what role does our faith play in our politics? Is it possible that as christians we have lost sight of our number one priority, the message of The Gospel, in our attempts to get others to see eye to eye with our politics? Join us this series as we take a long hard look at the Gospel narrative and discover how it must impact our views, perspectives and even decisions on politics.

This world is temporary for every human. In fact, James tells us that our life one earth is but a mist and then it is gone. However, this life is not all there is. As believers in Jesus, our spiritual re-birth has given us a new citizenship that is not rooted in the things of earth, but rather in Heaven. It is this citizenship that gives us confidence, hope, joy and peace even in the midst of our difficult times. Why is it that we spend so much time investing in things that are temporary when we have a citizenship in eternal glory? Join us this series as we unpack what it means to truly view this world as our temporary dwelling.

For many of us, the Bible is more familiar than any other book, yet we tend to read Scripture through the lens of our own experience and in a way that makes sense on our terms. When that happens, our cultural and historical context sometimes create bad habits and lead us to read the Bible differently than it was originally intended or in a very different way than Christians in other cultures do. When that happens, we are in danger of communicating something that wasn’t what the author, or God even intended. Join us this series as we look at some very familiar passages of Scripture and make sure that we aren't misusing, misquoting or losing something in the translation!

Join us for part 5 of our series as we look at the brave stand taken by 3 exiles and discover that our circumstances do not have to affect the freedom that we have.
Join us for part 4 of our series as we look at the final moments of the life of Christianity's first martyr, Stephen and learn the power of keeping our eyes fixed on Jesus.
Join us for part 3 of our series as we look at Joshua's farewell speech to the Israelites and his challenge for us to "choose this day" who we are going to serve.
Join us for part 2 of our series as we look at Paul's speech to the Athenians and learn how God longs to have a deep, personal relationship with us.
The Bible is filled with speeches and monologues by godly men and women imploring people to step up, go deeper or even confess and repent. Those speeches are still timely and relevant today.
Join us for part 1 of our new series as we dive into the book of Esther. At it's very core, it is a story of a woman (Esther) and her cousin (Mordecai) standing up "for such a time as this" against systemic racism to save an entire race of people against hatred and prejudice.
Happy Memorial Day! Join us today as we celebrate our seniors and honor those who gave their lives for the freedoms we enjoy today. While it may seem strange to celebrate and honor these two very different life events on the same day, we do so intentionally. You see, there is always a powerful link between the past and the future when it comes to legacy. We cannot separate the sacrifice and accomplishments of previous generations from the opportunities and achievements of future ones. They are inherently linked! While legacies are built over time they do not die with us. They are passed on and picked up by others and outlast all of us!
What would happen if we looked at our time at home as an opportunity rather than a prison? What if God wants to use this time to teach us something about ourselves? Or, even better, what if He wants to reveal more of Himself to us? Join us this series as we look at the transformational makeover that could be taking place during our time of social distancing.

Everything that Jesus did was intentional. Did you know that while he was busy setting up what we now celebrate as Easter, Jesus was faithfully observing and celebrating a Jewish holiday known as Passover? This was no coincidence. In fact, a deeper knowledge of Passover gives us a much greater understanding of Jesus’ death and resurrection. Join us this Lenten series as we delve deeper into the powerful history of Passover and discover how God has been at work throughout history preparing the world for Easter Sunday!

Every now and then you just need a little boost. When we get sick, we can take Vitamin C. When we’re tired we can drink a 5-hour energy or red bull. Before a big athletic competition, we can carb load. But, what do you do when your faith walk needs a little extra umph? Join us this series as we take a look at areas in our faith walk that when activated can add an extra boost to our discipleship journey.

One of the most notable characteristics of a disciple is that, over time, they begin to think, act, talk and even look like their teacher. As they transform into the likeness of the one they are following, they gradually become very distinct from the rest of the world. As disciples of Jesus, we are called to be transformed into his likeness and that means that we will begin to look and act less and less like the world in which we live. Our perspective is different. Our actions are different. The way we respond to and show our love for others is different. We have been chosen to stand out not blend in. Join us this series as we look at what it means to live Uncommon lives that reflect the glory of Christ.

Have you ever wished that God would just answer your prayers with a direct message? On the surface, it would seem like that would make following him a whole lot easier.

While these direct messages had a huge impact on their faith, I’m not sure they were any easier to process or obediently follow. Join us this series as we journey through the events leading up to the birth of Jesus and look at what God’s Direct Messengers had to say to the people involved and how it impacts our lives today.
