We all know that saying thank you is good manners but did you know that it’s one of the most important things that we can do to be spiritually healthy. Together we’ll examine the repeated command to be thankful found in the book of Colossians and learn how to practice this needed discipline.

What’s at the root of thanksgiving? Where does genuine thanksgiving come from? As we prepare for our own Thanksgiving celebrations we’ll discover together from Colossians 1 that true thankfulness is rooted in the knowledge of God and the wonder of what Christ has done.

From the beginning, we were created to be in fellowship with God and each other.  After the fall, the struggle of humanity can be summed up with a simple question: Will we choose to worship the God who is life, light and love?  As we finish our series on 1 John, we will look in 1 John 5:13-21 to see John’s concluding statements on how to focus on the God who was light, life, and love from the begi...

Love Week John talks a great deal about love that has been perfected.  This type of love is an action done for someone else with no expectation of response, which is measured by its impact through eternity.  Over the last three weeks we have considered various aspects of this love, and now we will consider how we can be a community saturated by this type of love. 

God is love is one of the most often misquoted passages in Scripture.  Why?  Because many hear “love” and think about feelings.  When we dig in to 1 John 4:1-21 we see a very different picture of love, brought about through the radical moment when Jesus laid down his life for us.  Come hear about what we have gained through the love of Christ, and how we can respond in kind.  

God loves us.  It is awesome to recognize that truth, but even more powerful when we realize that the love God has for us is a love of action.  Join us as we begin to look at John’s definition of love in 1 John 3:11-24 and learn how we can be a part of reflecting that love to others.

We are bombarded with so many different things that claim to be the truth, it can be difficult to know what to filter out.  First century Christians dealt with the same battle.  Come join us as we look at 1 John 2:18-3:10 and see practical advice from John on how to stay rooted in the way, the truth, and the life.

The apostle John is a unique figure in human history, in that he was one of the closest followers of Jesus, and the lone disciple to witness Christ’s crucifixion.  John was also most likely the last living apostle.  As he wrote 1 John 2:7-17, he was concerned with helping the many generations in the church stand firm, working to encourage the generations that came after the apostles.  Join us as w...

God is light and having fellowship with him is about learning to walk in His light.  It is easy to say we walk in the light, but what does it really look like to do it?  That is the question we are going to look at as we dig in to 1 John 1:5-2:6. 

From the beginning God created us to be in community with him. On the other side of the fall, it can seem very difficult to imagine how we could live out that purpose well. The good news is that through the life we have in Christ, we are invited back to the same fellowship with God that was a part of our created purpose. Come join us as we look at the introduction to 1 John and see what is in stor...

God is the source of life for all of creation, but we often find ourselves putting hope in things that pale in comparison. The good news is that the Bible is full of stories of how God shows himself to be greater than the things we place our hope in. This Sunday we will look at how the Lord works through Elijah in 1 Kings 16-18 to show his people why they should place their hope solely in the Lord...

With so many different ideas and opinions out there from celebrity preachers to the New York bestseller list, to YouTube and Ticktock, how do we guard against the deception of false teaching? Jude teaches us about the common characteristics of false teachers throughout history and in our world today and about the certain condemnation that they will face in the coming judgement. Jude 5-16

What do Christians really believe? Are there non-negotiables when it comes to true Christianity? How do we recognize truth from error? As we launch into this 3-week series on the book of Jude we’ll discover how to become firmly rooted in our faith and guard against those who might try to derail us. Jude 1-4

I may not ever get to go back in time and redirect younger me, but there is a little girl learning how to see the world from me each and every day. What will I say to her? How will I respond when my child wonders why they need to learn what is readily available at the touch of a finger? Learn the answers to these questions and see a vision for sharpened iron across future generations.

The greatest injustice in my middle school life was having to stay after school to prove I had not cheated on a multiple-choice math test. I had not shown any work on the test because it was multiple choice and I could find the answers without doing any work. The math teacher didn’t really think I had cheated, but tried teach me a much more valuable way to think about tests than simply coming up w...

It was a dark day for my high school’s English teachers when I first realized I could enhance my procrastination skills by using search engines to quickly find answers and quotes. The end result was less thinking and more quotations, but I managed to continually prove that I could read a rubric well enough to get a B. Come and see why we need more than simply finding quotations in order to be agen...

If I had an inconsequential time machine, I would go explain to my fifth-grade self what a smart phone was. That way every time a teacher said “are you going to carry around a calculator the rest of your life?” I could answer “yeah, and it will be smaller than the ones in our classroom and I can watch Nickelodeon on it.” You may wonder what this has to do with a series about families, which is a g...

For some reason people think that David is the underdog in the story of David and Goliath. The problem with this line of thinking is everything. The Lord has helped David overcome lions and bears, so why would he fear the Philistine? Join us as we look at David’s triumph and learn how we can be a part of raising up generations who love the Lord as David does. For Youth Sunday we are doing a two-pa...

Saul was so tall that people couldn’t help but see him as a king. David’s oldest brother Eliab was even taller and more “kingly” looking. So why is there no story titled “Saul and the Philistine” or “Eliab and the Philistine?” They were both there, yet it was an anointed shepherd who rose to prominence through the challenge of Goliath. Come hear a message on the importance of living like David rat...
