Principles of stewardship are great and beneficial, but they lose their purpose and are unsustainable as long as greed still exists within us. How do we recognize greed in our lives? How do we overcome it? These are important questions to answer before moving into "do's" of stewardship.   Kyle Smith • February 12th, 2023 • • • • Join us for service in person and online every Sunday at 10am (M...

"The earth is the Lord's, and everything in it" Psalm 24:1 Nothing that we have accumulated is our own. All that we have is what God has entrusted us to steward. Stewardship isn't easy though. It is a war to honor God with what He has entrusted to us. In this introduction to the series, we answer the questions "What is stewardship?" and "Why is teaching on stewardship important for believers in Je...

Jesus is calling his disciples to a lifetime of surrender and devotion to Him. We see in Matthew 7 that Jesus is showing us us that there are two paths, one leading to destruction and one leading to life. In an age where many are leaving the faith, will we be the ones to follow Jesus no matter the cost with an insatiable appetite for more of Him? Spencer Powell • January 29th, 2023 • • • • Join us...

In our desire to be a healthy church that endures and to be people that finish well, we must consider the rhythms God designed us to operate in. To finish well, we must both run hard and rest well. In a culture where we can feel the pressure to constantly produce, how do we rest well? There are many wonderful strategies and disciplines that can be helpful, but the most essential avenue to rest is...

Unity in the Body - Pastor Tucker Parman In the book of Ephesians, there is a subtle thread that can be traced through the entire letter - unity. Over and over again Paul emphasizes the importance and significance of unity in our faith. One of the topics this shows up most in is unity in the body. Through the cross, Jesus has created a new  humanity, bringing to himself people from all walks...

Paul concludes his letter to Titus with an urgent call to not waste his limited opportunity to make a difference in this life. It is possible to exist, and even be active, yet not be fruitful.

Remembering where we used to be can bring appreciation for where we are now. Paul reminds us that "we too were foolish and disobedient" before God saved us. Gospel power is brought to light when we remember who we were and the fate we had before the grace of God rescued us. This undeserved favor gives us the ability to look forward with hope and confidence that this broken world is not the en...

Paul's first instruction to Titus is to appoint elders to lead the church in each town. More important than organizing ways to gather more people is the raising up and empowering of leaders within the local body. But who should lead? Paul's criteria was character over skill.

When we are asking for forgiveness, we must consider the debt that we are asking to be released from.
