John comes to the end of his life debating what to say to the churches under his care. In the first few lines of his letter, he tells them his top priority: to have fellowship with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ. The beloved apostle knows that a life of intimacy with God is an eternal kind of life that the church can experience in the here and now.
That kind of life is one that abounds in love, light, and life. The invitation of John is still extended to us today. Join us this summer as we explore the letters of John in hopes to move into deeper fellowship with God.

The season of Christmas turns our attention to the arrival of Jesus. In the same way our ancestors waited for the first arrival of the Messiah, so we too wait for the second arrival and return of Jesus the Messiah.
These men and women who have gone before us have much to teach us about what it means to wait faithfully. Therefore, this year we are focusing our attention on four characters in the drama of the birth of Jesus who can guide and shape our faith. What do they teach us when we look at the birth of Jesus through their eyes? This week we will look to The Magi.

During the summer of 2022, the GPS will study the Seven Deadly Sins. This list originated several hundred years after the inception of the church and it stands the test of time as a reliable guide for naming some of humanity’s most common struggles. Pride, Envy, Anger, Sloth, Greed, Gluttony, and Lust are important for us to consider as places where we are tempted to rebel.
However, the list is not simply meant to leave us in the pit of despair. We can speak openly and honestly about sin because we believe in a God who will forgive us even while we are still sinners. We are never beyond the reach of a loving God.
This list also can be a guide towards a flourishing life. In other words, by naming paths of unrighteousness we can also discern paths of righteousness. Therefore, each week, we will also consider antidotes to each sin as well as holy postures and practices that can lead us away from failure and towards a life of flourishing.

During the month of May, the GPS Class will spend time reflecting on the resurrection of Jesus and the implications of it for our lives. All four Gospel writers include accounts of the resurrection, but each gives us a different angle on this life-changing event.
Therefore, each week we will spend time reflecting on each gospel writer and their account of the resurrection. We will explore what they are trying to communicate about Jesus. We will wrestle with where we find ourselves in the story and what is looks likes to follow Jesus.

What does it mean to be called by God? How can I find meaning and purpose in my life? Over the next several weeks we are going to wrestle with these questions and more as people of faith. We will use Scripture, stories, and faithful insights to help us better understand what it means to be called by God in our everyday lives.

Christmas is a season where we turn our attention to the birth of Jesus. This world-changing moment gives us a glimpse of the God who comes to dwell among us in the flesh. This time of year, presents a unique opportunity to see God in fresh and faithful ways.

In class this year we are going to focus on better seeing the three virtues named by Paul in his letter to the Corinthians. He informs them that faith, hope, and love are important traits for us to cultivate in our lives (1 Cor 13:11-13). Therefore, this year we are going to wrestle with the following questions: What does the Christmas story teach us about faith, hope and love? What do we learn from the men and women in these stories about what it means to cultivate faith, hope, and love? Where in these stories do we see these virtues being lived out?

This fall we are journeying through a congregational study focusing on some of the "one another" passages in the New Testament. This instruction to the earliest Christians about how they treat one another occurs around 58 times. That frequency shows just how important it was to the vision of the early church. The same holds true today as we seek to be faithful as a community of faith. How we treat one another is a critical way to show who we are in Christ Jesus.

This week we are going to pull a podcast from the archive as we start school this year!
This message still applies to where we are in our season of life together and in this season of school starting.
John comes to the end of his life debating what to say to the churches under his care. In the first few lines of his letter, he tells them his top priority: to have fellowship with the Father and his Son Jesus Christ. The beloved apostle knows that a life of intimacy with God is an eternal kind of life that the church can experience in the here and now.
That kind of life is one that abounds in love, light, and life. The invitation of John is still extended to us today. Join us this summer as we explore the letters of John in hopes to move into deeper fellowship with God.

The beloved apostle knows that a life of intimacy with God is an eternal kind of life that the church can experience in the here and now.
That kind of life is one that abounds in love, light, and life. The invitation of John is still extended to us today. Join us this summer as we explore the letters of John in hopes to move into deeper fellowship with God.

The life of discipleship is a life of journeying with Jesus. As disciples we are seeking to learn how to live as if Jesus were in our place. How do we become these kinds of people today?
One of the most important starting places is to spend time dwelling in the gospels. Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John present four distinct, yet unified portraits of the life and ministry of Jesus. By spending time in these gospels the hope is that the good news of Jesus would shape our lives. The good news of Jesus is not just something we believe, but something we live. We are called to live a gospeled life.
For the next 90 days we are going to journey as a class through all four gospels. The hope is that everyone in class would spend time reading a chapter a day from each of the gospels. Then when we gather on Sunday we will spend time reflecting on what we learned about Jesus and the life of discipleship from the previous week of readings.

The New Year always brings a variety of goals, aspirations, and hopes. Some people start a new hobby while others try to avoid adding anything new to their full schedule. Others want to make a change while others do not want to repeat disappointment from previous years.
Regardless of where you find yourself at the start of this year I hope you will consider prioritizing one practice in 2021. Check out this week's podcast to hear more. Happy New Year!
The season of Advent turns our attention to the arrival of Jesus. In the same way our ancestors waited for the first arrival of the Messiah, so we too wait for the second arrival and return of Jesus the Messiah.
These men and women who have gone before us have much to teach us about what it means to wait faithfully. Therefore, this year we are focusing our attention on four characters in the drama of the birth of Jesus who can guide and shape our faith. What do they teach us when we look at the birth of Jesus through their eyes? This week we will look to The Magi.

In this week's episode we continue our summer series "Cultivate." Our focus through the summer has been on the virtues and traits of Jesus we need to cultivate in this season of life. However, in this episode, we are not focusing on the WHAT but the HOW. How do we cultivate these traits?
God ultimately brings the growth in our lives but one key way we can water and grow is through the practice of prayer. Specifically, we are going to look at Paul's seemingly challenging words in 1 Thessalonians 5:16-18 to pray without ceasing. What exactly does this mean? And how can these words guide us as we begin a new school year?
In this week's episode we continue our summer series focusing on the kinds of people we are becoming in these trying times. What virtues and traits of Jesus should we cultivate in our lives right now?
In light of a heightened awareness of racial tensions in our country in recent weeks we are going to spend time intentionally talking about this topic. The hope is we will cultivate a willingness to have conversation about hard issues and seek understanding of those different than ourselves.
This week we are going to hear the perspective of an outside voice, Eric Gentry. Eric Gentry is the Preaching Minister at the Highland Church of Christ in Memphis, TN.
He has served there for almost a decade and one of his core values has been working towards racial justice in his context. In this week's episode we will get to hear about his journey and what he is learning as a leader working towards racial justice.
