Arbor Church

What then shall we say to these things? If God is for us, who can be against us? Can God really work all things for our good? Cliff unpacks the beautiful truth of that simple phrase: God is for us .

And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose… Today, Cliff teaches from his life verse and reveals God’s plan to turn our pain and problems into praise.

And not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the firstfruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly… Bryan teaches from the next section of Romans 8: hope, firstfruits, groaning, intercession… and above all, the wonderful truth that we are not alone.

Today we celebrate Arbor’s fifth birthday, a milestone many church plants never reach! Cliff commemorates the occasion with a message based on the story of Gideon and God’s supernatural knack for making the impossible possible.

For I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory that is to be revealed to us… Today, Scott draws the short straw and continues our series in Romans 8 with a look at verses 18-21 and the essential role of suffering in the life of the Christian.

Today, we continue our series, All In . It’s a series about understanding our faith, drawn verse by verse from the 8th chapter of Romans. Cliff takes us through the deeper meaning of adoption into God’s family.

For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. Today, a message from Alison on how our mindset impacts our faith … and our life.

Today, we start a new series, All In . It’s a series about understanding our faith, drawn verse by verse from the 8th chapter of Romans. Cliff starts us off with a deep exploration of the first 4 verses of this chapter; you might recognize them: There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus…

Alison wraps up our Christmas Stories series with a message about what happens in our lives as Christians in the space between the Star – the hope of God’s promises – and the Stable – the fulfillment of those promises. The journey can be so long; how do we live in that space?

No church service this Sunday after Christmas … instead, the Arbor staff gathers for a special year-end conversation, looking back at 2021 and ahead to what’s next.

Fear not. Angels say it again and again – but what’s it mean when we’re also often admonished to fear God? Scott brings us into the heart of these two powerful words.

We continue our Christmas Stories series with a message from Pastor Cliff about Mary, the mother of Jesus… an ordinary person whom God used for extraordinary things.

Our new series Christmas Stories explores the miracle of Jesus’ birth through new eyes and perspectives. This week, Brian opens the series with the stories of three of Jesus’ ancestors: little-known characters in the big genealogical records that preface the Gospels, and how their story became part of His.

Today, our 40+ Days of Prayer series ends – not with a message but with story after story of how God has moved, healed, and restored in the last 40 days as we have sought Him together.

Do you feel like your prayers just aren’t doing anything? The last message in our 40+ Days of Prayer series is for you: from Ephesians 6:18, 1 Thess 5:17, and Luke 18:6-8, Cliff shows us how to multiply our prayer power.

Breakthrough prayer requires intentionality and persistence … it doesn’t change God, but it does change us! Cliff speaks on fasting, tongues, gifts, and how these things can be used by God to help us experience breakthroughs in our spiritual lives. Note: This recording was cut off about 45 minutes in due to a brief power outage.

Sometimes prayer is about getting to know God more than about getting the answers we’re looking for. God wants to teach us through prayer, so we need to be paying attention! But what if God just seems … absent? Today, Cliff continues our series on prayer with answers for one of the toughest questions people ask about prayer: what is going on when God is silent?

Prayer is the weapon that wins spiritual battles! Today, Cliff takes us through the Armor of God in Ephesians 6, explaining each piece and outlining 4 winning battle strategies.

Knowing how to pray makes praying a lot easier! Today, Cliff breaks down how we should (and shouldn’t) pray, using a 4-part framework Jesus gave us in Matthew 6. (Hint: it’s one you can probably already recite.)

This week we embark together as a church on a 40+ day prayer adventure. Cliff opens the series with a message about why we pray, how God answers, and what prayer does in our lives. Very simply: we pray because prayer works , and it’s the key to knowing God.

1 Peter 4:10 – As each has received a gift, use it to serve one another, as good stewards of God’s varied grace… From this passage (and from a variety of As Seen On TV products), Bryan closes our Family Values series with a message on what it means to Serve Sacrifically . How are you using your gift?

Jesus talked a lot about money and generosity; by one count, 25% of his teaching was on this subject. Today, Alison looks at Scripture to discover what it looks like to give generously and why we give generously… and offers both an exemption and a money-back guarantee.

From Hebrews 5, Scott shows us how to grow spiritually by following the example of Jesus, the great High Priest. Spiritual growth isn’t about strength, knowledge, or having all the answers … it’s about weakness, prayer, a willingness to endure discomfort, and ultimately our relationship with God.

Drawing from the accounts of the earliest believers in Acts, the courage of Daniel, Paul’s admonitions, and other Scripture, Cliff demonstrates how consistent engagement turns our beliefs into our lifestyle .

Our new series Family Values is all about how we, as a church and as individuals, achieve our mission of helping people find and follow Jesus: we live invitationally, engage consistently, grow spiritually, give generously, and serve sacrificially. Today, Cliff teaches from Luke 12 on the subject of Living Invitationally and the value of truly being ready for Jesus. How does it change our schedule,...
