"I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing." John 15:5
“I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him.”
“I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?”
Jesus said, "I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep." Jesus knows you and wants to have a relationship with you.
Jesus stated "I am the door" or "the gate for the sheep." He is there to embrace us and protect us; to give us peace and safe pasture.
Jesus stated "I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." As Christians, we reflect His light to others around us.
In the gospels, we learn that Jesus used seven "I am" statements to describe Himself. In this series, we're examining the seven terms He chose, unpacking what they reveal about who He is, and exploring the implications for us today.
Lyndsey and Caleb discuss with a few volunteers their heart for serving and saying yes to God's call to serve.
"For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do." Ephesians 2:10
We were all designed with different gifts and different roles in mind to be the body of Christ.
With the pandemic, we saw everyday items slowly go out of stock, but God's gifts are always in stock. They're always ready and available. We just have to say yes.
Have you ever thought about the fact that everything we see, everything we use, everything we touch was designed by someone? That includes ourselves. You, me, everyone we see… we are all designed by God, in His image, for a purpose!
For the last week of our Revive series, our Outreach Pastor shares with us how we can have lasting revival in our lives that stands the test of time.
As Christians, we become revived when we first surrender to Christ. Through the life of Paul we can see how to live a revived life and see how a revival can become a revolution.
For this new year, we don’t need a resolution, we need a revival. Pastor Bobby explains through passages from Matthew what it takes to have that revival.
This week, Pastor Bobby shares with us the key to revival and questions we can ask ourselves to evaluate our lives today.
"I lie in the dust; revive me by your word." Psalm 119:25. For this new year, we don’t need a resolution, we need a revival. As a church, we’re going to make an effort to dig deep into God’s word.

Laodicea lived neither hot nor cold, but lukewarm. We must avoid complacently living in the middle of the road and choose Christ.
The church in Philadelphia stayed faithful in the face of trials. We should also be diligent and faithful to Christ, even if we don’t know the outcome of our situations.
In this fifth letter, the church in Sardis appears alive, but is dead. How can we prevent ourselves from being a dead church?
The Church in Thyatira tolerated Jezebel and her immoral teachings. What do we tolerate in our lives today?
This week we look at how we can avoid compromising our faith by reading Paul's letter to the church in Pergamum.

Some people say it’s selfish to pray for oneself, but in 1 Chronicles, Jabez prayed for himself and God blessed him. God gives us abundantly more than we need or imagine and we only need to ask. Pastor Bobby gives us five things to pray for when praying for ourselves.
There are moments in life when it seems like there’s nothing we can do, but in those messy moments it’s more important than ever to seek God.

Have you ever felt like your prayers weren’t working? Pastor Bobby helps us figure out why we can sometimes feel like our prayers aren’t being answered by God.
Starting off our new series on prayer, Pastor Bobby breaks down Jesus’ model of the Lord’s Prayer found in Matthew 6.
In 52 days, Nehemiah built the walls around Jerusalem- his greatest work- because he was a great leader. Pastor Bobby points out the four temptations of a leader and how we can avoid them.

Naaman was a mighty man of valor, but his young servant girl is the one to recommend him to see Elisha to cure him of his leprosy. Her small act made a big impact and changed Naaman’s life forever. Through this story, Bryon Shaw helps us to see that God uses “No Names” to do exceptional acts.
With Mordecai’s guidance, Esther realized that God has created us all for specific moments in time. Pastor Bobby uses her story to show the power of a purpose in life.

Moses was faced with the Red Sea while leading the Israelites out of Egypt, but he trusted in God’s promises and protection to deliver them safely out of the situation.
The words that we speak to others and the words that we tell ourselves are equally important. Pastor Bobby dives into how what we say can impact our lives in faith.
When we live in faith, we have to view our past, our present, and our future plans from God’s perspective.
Just like Jesus’ mother made a lasting impact on him, we can all leave a lasting legacy by how we raise our children and how we treat others.
Pastor Bobby sits down with a few of our staff members to talk about serving, our volunteers, and how to get involved.
In the book of John, Jesus washed his disciples feet at Passover. Pastor Bobby breaks down the reason why and how Jesus used this act to show us how to be a servant to others.
We are all masterpieces- works in progress- and God has a purpose and a plan for each one of us. Even in the tough times, we are being molded in His image.
People conform their identity according to the world and others around them- but we are called to purpose and set apart by God.
People place their identity in all different aspects of their lives, but Jesus gives us all a new identity in Him.
Good Friday is not good because He died, it is great because He lives. Patrick Gallemore walks us through the four miracles that took place this day so many years ago.
For all of Joseph’s life, he thrived no matter what situation he was in. Even after being sold into slavery and thrown in a dungeon, he became the second most powerful man in Egypt and was able to deliver the land and his family from famine. For the last week of In The Beginning, our Online and Groups Pastor, Caleb Meeks, delves into what we can learn from Joseph’s life.
Joseph was sold by his brothers into slavery and, in his new life, falsely accused and thrown into prison. But despite all his adversities, Joseph remained faithful because he knew that God is always in control.
Jacob tricked and manipulated in order to receive the first born blessing, but he soon learns that you reap what you sow.
Esau sold his birthright to Jacob to appease his appetite. We all have appetites: for food, for money, for success, for love. But we can’t let our appetites control our lives.
Abraham waited 25 years for the promise to be fulfilled. Sometimes it seems like God has forgotten about His promises, but we must remain faithful and ready to move however He wills.
Pastor Bobby shows us the three rhythms of Abram to help us build altars of worship in our own lives.
Since the time of Adam and Eve, the wickedness of man had corrupted the earth. For the second week of our Genesis series, we take a look at the obedience of Noah, who found favor in the eyes of the Lord.
Genesis is the book of beginnings: the beginning of creation, the beginning of man, the beginning of sin, and the beginning of God's plan for the redemption of men. The lessons taught in the book of Genesis contain all we need to know about living a full and complete life- with all of God's blessings and his promises. Join us for this journey through the past, designed to help God's people chart their journey into the future.
This Sunday, our Sherwood Campus Pastor, Keith Walton, urges us to develop habits on following God and trusting Him with our time and families.
This week, Pastor Bobby gives biblical advice on how to build healthy habits with our money.
Will Riddle, our Next Steps Pastor, and Caleb Meeks, our Online & Groups Pastor, have a conversation on the importance of community and how to build good habits of relationships in the Church.
Over time, the Church has gotten into some bad habits. In week 2 of our new year's series, Pastor Bobby takes a look at some better habits that we, as the Church, should be keeping.
We are creatures of habit. Whether the habits we have bring us and others closer to Jesus is up to us. We are starting this new year examining the habits we have surrounding the Church, community, family, work, money, and relationships. Our hope is that together as a community, we will choose small disciplines that will produce BIG results that will bring glory to God and draw us nearer to Jesus.
