"Peace is not natural. The natural person has a spirit of self-preservation and self interest," which is countercultural to Jesus' call in the beatitudes. Pastor Kelli teaches us, through Matthew 5:9-12, that we are to be "peacemakers," which means having: 1. a new view of self, 2: a new view of others, and 3: a new view of the world.

Pastor Derrick reminds us on Palm Sunday, that through Jesus' triumphant entry into Jerusalem, He ushered in peace and salvation once and for all!

While teaching in the synagogue in His hometown of Nazareth, Jesus reads from Isaiah 61:1-2. These verses lay out His mission and, as His agents, it becomes our mission, too. 

Jonah, a well-respected prophet in his home country, chooses to disobey God’s instruction, yet God doesn’t give up on Him. He serves as an example to us that while there are consequences for our disobedience, there is also an invitation to repentance and redemption. 

The main ingredient for a generous life is coming to know the generosity of God. The goal of this message is to facilitate a shift in our mentality from one of scarcity to one of abundance!

New Year’s resolutions tend to be futile when 1) we seek to accomplish them in our own strength and/or 2) they foster self-centeredness. What we truly need is for God to give us a new life in the Christ, and for us to give ourselves to His clear mission to share about that Life with others.  Pastor Derrick gives the last message of 2023 here!

Christ is the builder! Within a dependent relationship with God, knowing is foundational for walking. Pastor Mason opens our new series on the book of Colossians with a call to both the knowing and living of the Christian life.
