The leaders and people of the Body of Christ love the goodness of God over their own definitions of good.
The Lord sacrificed Himself so that we could have a life and a future as His treasured children.
Everything in the universe has a way about it.
All people on earth have a way about them.
We should give thought to our ways using wisdom and Prudence.
There are many of our ways that seem right to us….Why do they seem right?
Jesus came to give us a superior way to the many ways that can seem right to us.
Jesus said I am the Way, the Truth and the Life.
Join us as we talk about how the Body of Christ trusts that God's power will bless the 'good seeds' and overcome the 'bad seed' of faith.
Walk with us through Matthew 13:1-9 as we see how God’s life-giving Word grows where the Holy Spirit has ‘worked the soil’ of the heart.
We see God's work in creation. We know God's love through His Word. God's life-giving Word is a gift for us. God's life-giving Word is a gift for us to share.
Join us as Jodi VanWingerden preaches on Psalm 150. In the 6 verse of Psalm 150 we are told to praise the Lord 13 times. But what about when we don't feel it? What about when the command to "Praise the Lord" is jolting? When it is suggested at a time when we are settling into the long haul? When "Hallelujah" doesn't line up with what we're living through? When we can hardly muster any words at all - let alone praise?
Join us as we look at Numbers 32:1-13 and how God calls us to faithfulness in the midst of transition and change.
When we view our future through the past, what is it that we see? Perhaps we can learn a thing or two from the nation of Israel when they returned from exile in Babylon. When they reviewed their own history, what part of their story gave them the confidence to declare their renewed covenant with God?
Sermon on Nehemiah 9 by Jodi VanWingerden.
Join us as we walk through Paul's letter to the Galatian churches and how it applies to us today.

As we strive to be a church who lives and loves like Jesus and inspires people to live and love like Him it’s pretty important to know who Jesus is. And what better way to learn about the person of Jesus than by looking at who He says He is.

In this Easter Message Pastor Corey outlines how Christianity has never been a faith without evidence, that Jesus doesn't shame those who don't believe right away, and that we are all being invited to re-examine the evidence and evaluate the invitation to deeper obedience.
In this series Pastor Corey will be looking at the stories Jesus chose to tell, knowing that his time on earth was coming to an end. Those stories Jesus chose to tell should tell us something about what we choose to make most important in life.

One of the greatest temptations after experiencing challenges, frustrations or devastation in life - is to rush to re-build. If you don't take time to construct or re-construct the proper foundation it will cause trouble in the future. In this series we take a look at the example of Nehemiah and, ultimately Jesus, learning together how to construct the kind of foundation that will be worth building the future on.
In this three part series Corey names the longing we all feel to return to some kind of normalcy after suffering. However, within that longing lies a deep temptation - to rush past the pain and re-build before we're ready. In order to re-build properly its important to start with the right foundation.

The greatest obstacle to having the society we long to see and becoming the people we want to be is that we are in too much of a hurry to develop and deploy the qualities we all long for like love, joy, peace, patience, kindness and goodness. Join us in this conversation series following Jesus and learning to make SPACE in your life to become the kind of person you long to be.

The present moment is filled with all kinds of obstacles, frustrations, stressers. We are regularly being asked to give up things that we love and live with things that we miss. All of this begs the question is the church closed? Is the church done?
I wonder if in the midst of all of this God is inviting us to go back to the ancient foundations that will carry us into a far better future. Despite all the obstacles, we're being given an incredible opportunity to rediscover what church is; to reimagine what church can be. I think its time to Re-Define Church.
