Gerry Letourneau "Part of who we are becoming is how we live the gospel out in front of those around us. Paul ends his letter by encouraging Titus to be a good worker, to become a missionary to those around him because of the change Jesus has made in him. "

The grace and love of God are the foundation of the Christian life. Yet, many of us live as if we can lose that grace and love. Paul reminds Titus that the foundation of who we become is the grace of God.

All of us are leaders and influencers, whether we realize it or not. Paul lays out what a person who follows Jesus is to be and what character they are to have. This list is often consulted by church leaders, which is an appropriate application. But we don’t have a separate list for other followers of Jesus. So this is Paul’s teaching on who a follower of Jesus is to become.  This week's passage i...

Paul starts his letter to Titus with the foundation of the gospel. It is the saving grace of Jesus that makes us who we are as followers of Jesus and shapes all that we become. How we see God shapes what we believe and who we become.  This week's passage is Titus 1:1-4 (NIV).

Gerry Letourneau - Teaching Team As Paul closes his letter, he focuses on living lives of character as we complete the work God has called us to.  This week's passage is Colossians 4:2-6 (NIV).

Tim Zulker - Guest Speaker Paul encourages us to pray, to clearly declare the mystery of Christ, and to speak graciously as witnesses of Jesus. This week's passage is Colossians 4:2-6 (NIV).

Josh Reich - Lead Pastor Because we have been changed, our family roles should look different from what they did apart from Jesus. Paul encourages us to embody love and respect as wives and husbands, children and parents—doing everything in a way that pleases their Lord, Jesus.  This week's passage is Colossians 3:17-4:1 (CSB).

Josh Reich - Lead Pastor All relationships have a tone, a feeling within them that governs them and determines how things go. Sometimes that tone is violent, walking on eggshells, hoping the other person stays calm. Sometimes, that tone is loving and comforting.  This week's passage is Colossians 3:12-17 (CSB).

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor All of us want to experience freedom and life, and that is what we are promised in Christ. But what does that daily journey look like? It comes down to what we focus on, and that focus determines our lives. This week's passage is Colossians 2:6-23 (CSB).

Gerry Letourneau - Teaching Team Paul uses his life as a test case for the church in Colossae to see how to follow Jesus and navigate the highs and lows of faith.  This week's passage is Colossians 1:24-2:5 (NIV).

Rob Wheeler-Guest Speaker It is easy to make our faith about us or what we hope to accomplish for God. Because of this, Paul focused on Jesus at the start of his letter. We must never stray from who Jesus is and the centrality of that in our lives. This week's passage is Colossians 1:15-23 (CSB).

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor Paul begins his letter by focusing on what the gospel does for each of us, it changes us and grows us into the person God has called and created us to be, to be more like Christ. This week's passage is Colossians 1:1-14 (CSB).

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor Waiting in life is incredibly difficult. Yet, as Tish Harrison Warren said, “Our Christian life is a long practice in waiting - waiting for God to meet us, to grow us, to save us. And, ultimately, waiting for Jesus to set all things right.” This week's passage is from Habakkuk 3 (CSB).

Josh Reich - Lead Pastor The main question Habakkuk is asking God is one we ask of God, “You cannot tolerate wrong, but yet it seems like you are. Why? How is this okay?” This message helps us understand what God is doing when we disagree with His actions or perceive His inaction.  This week's main passage is Revelation 21:1-8 (CSB).

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor The main question Habakkuk is asking God is one we ask of God, “You cannot tolerate wrong, but yet it seems like you are. Why? How is this okay?” This message helps us understand what God is doing when we disagree with His actions or perceive His inaction.  This week's main passage is Habakkuk 1:12-2:5 (CSB).

We often wonder where God is in our pain and disappointment. Does he care? Could he stop it? Did he cause it? Habakkuk shows us what God does in our pain and disappointment. He embraces us.  This week's main passage is Habakkuk 1:1-11 (CSB).

Gerry Letourneau- Guest Speaker Malachi ends by looking towards the day of the Lord. We live every day in the hope that one day all wrongs will be righted, and that is where our hope for not only our year but also our lives resides.  This week's main passage is Malachi 4:1-6 (NIV)

Gerry Letourneau- Teaching Team As we think through our priorities and where we hope our year ends up, we need to ask prayerfully, “Am I working for or against God?”  This week's main passage is Malachi 3:13-18 (NIV)

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor Money goes a long way to determining our happiness and contentment in life. As we think about starting the year right, it makes sense to start it right financially.  This week's main passage is Malachi 3:6-12 (CSB)

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor We start the year off with high hopes, only to hit a roadblock —a challenge, a difficulty. That difficulty can either propel us into the future or hold us back. This week's main text is Malachi 2:17-3:5

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor Who you choose to marry is the most important human decision you will make. It determines where your life ends up more than any other decision, outside of following Jesus.

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor It has been said that “our lives reflect the 5 people we spend the most time with.” So, as we start the new year, we have to ask, “Who do we spend the most time with? Are they the right people to influence us? Do we want our lives to end up where their lives have ended up?”

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor Our priorities in life determine where our lives end up. If you want to know what your priorities are, simply look at your bank account and your calendar. No matter what we say our priorities are, those two things show us in black and white what they really are. As we start the new year, we need to ask: Are our priorities in the right spot? Did we end 2025 as intended? But o...

Josh Reich- Lead Pastor For many of us, hope is hard to come by. Our world feels hopeless, whether in politics, finances, relationships, or health. Yet, Advent helps us to hope when life feels hopeless.

Josh Reich-Lead Pastor This time of year, we see “peace” everywhere, but sometimes we struggle to feel peace in our hearts. Through Jesus, we have peace with God and the peace of God. Peace isn’t found in the absence of problems, but in the presence of God.
