Mental health is a topic that has taken the spotlight in the past few years. Because of that, it’s important that our thinking on this topic be shaped by Scripture and reflect God’s heart for the hurting (Heb. 4:14-16), while also considering the effects of sin on our world and on our bodies. This week we’ll use Matthew 6:25-34 as a starting point as we think through what it means to be faithful f...

What is shaping your heart and mind? Everyone of us is shaped by something.

The one in which we talk about inerrancy and infallibility.

We're starting a new sermon series this week looking at a few hot topic issues and how we should engage them as Christians. This week, we'll be answering the question: what's the big deal about the Bible? Christianity isn't unique in having a sacred text, but why do we believe the Bible is true and other ancient texts are false? And why do we spend so much time reading and studying it together? Jo...

We’ll be finishing our ‘Demystifying Discipleship’ series this week as we look at how we make disciples formally and informally. How do we pursue making disciples in every area of our lives? Deuteronomy 6 gives us a beautiful picture of what this looks like. How do you think you can make disciples formally and informally?

The one in which we talk about our liturgy.

As we continue to think about what scripture says about discipleship, there is one element of our weekly rhythm we must consider: our Sunday morning gathering. Throughout the history of the church, God’s people have gathered to worship and to encourage one another. How we should approach church has caused division in the church’s history, but there are things which scripture makes clear about our...

This week, we’ll be looking at the idea of imitation and how it connects to discipleship. Last week we focused on the content of discipleship being the proclamation of God’s Word, this week we’ll be focusing on people as God’s fellow workers. How do we join with God in making and maturing disciples of Him? We look for people to imitate, and encourage others to imitate us. That idea can at times fe...

The one in which we talk about all of us needing something different in discipleship.

We’re continuing our “Demystifying Discipleship” series this week as we look at the content of discipleship. We saw last week the that a Christian is someone who is engaged in “transformational learning,” and that a disciple is a redeemed sinner learning Christ by increasing worship of God through every area of your life. This week we’ll look at how we go about this. How do we help others learn Ch...

The one in which we talk about transcendentals.

We're beginning a new series this week titled "Demystifying Discipleship." Through this 5 week series we'll be looking at what a disciple is, how we grow as disciples, and practical ways we can grow in our mission to make and mature disciples of Jesus. This week's sermon is defining discipleship:  what is it,  what is included in it, and how do we fit it into our already busy lives?

We made it! We’ll be finishing up our time in Ephesians this week as we look at  Ephesians 6:10-24 . As we come to the close of this letter, how do you think you would wrap up all the information Paul has been expounding up until this point? Paul will end with an exhortation for us to be prayerful and pray for some specific things in our lives. Join us Sunday to find out some things we should...

The one in which we talk about the head.

We’ll be going back in our study of Ephesians this week to look at Ephesians 5:17-33 . We jumped ahead to the second half of the household code this past week, so we’ll go back and see how Paul started! Marriage serves as the starting point for every family, thus it makes sense that Paul would start there too. However, how is marriage connected to singing? Join us Sunday to find out!
