Title: All Hands On Deck Series: Grow Passage: 1 Peter 4:10-11 All Hands on Deck! This is what the captain of a ship would cry when everyone, and both of their hands, was needed up top.

If they were going to make it, they needed everyone. This week in...

Title: When Peace is in Pieces Series: Hope of the World Passage: Isaiah 25:6-9 & 26:1-4 Invasion. War. Factions. Displaced refugees. Not much has changed since 586 B.C.

Title: The Reconciler Series: Reconciled Passage: 2 Corinthians 5:16-21 In order for us to be reconciled to each other, we need to understand how God has reconciled us to Him. This week, as we wrap up our Reconciled series, we take a look at Paul's word to the Corinthians on how to be imitators of the Reconciler.

Matthew 7:1-6 One of the most famous and often quoted verses in the Bible is "Do not judge." Whether they've heard it from the Bible or from 2Pac, most people know that being judgmental does not fit into Jesus' prescribed way of life. As we dive into this passage, how do we reconcile Jesus' call to not judge with the call He gave us last week to lovingly call people back from their wandering?

Title: The Rescue Mission Series: Reconciled Passage: Matthew 18:15-20 Sometimes relationships can become strained. We fail, we fall and we hurt each other in the process.

This week Jesus shows us how we handle sin and hurt in God’s family.

Title: Real Forgiveness Speaker: Mark McGeever Passage: Matthew 18:21-35

This week, we see Jesus get called out by Israel's insiders who didn't know they would be...

Title: Déjà Vu Series: Greater Passage: Mark 6:45-56 Ever find yourself in a situation where you thought, “I swear, I’ve been here before.” Ever say something and felt, “I swear, I’ve said this before?” You’re not alone.

Title: Turf War Series: Greater Passage: Mark 5:1-20 “This town isn’t big enough for the two of us.” This is how every turf war begins.... probably. A turf war is when two rivaling forces compete for the same territory, the same neighborhood. They both want to assert their dominance and exercise their influence over the same area, and so a conflict ensues. And it’s often not pretty. Having survive...

Title: The Storm Series: Greater Passage: Mark 4:35-41 Most people prefer to be shown rather than told. Those who quickly forget words and direct statements can easily recall scenes from a movie, illustrations from a book or a picture they took on their phone. Pictures are sticky. When we are shown, we usually remember. This week we begin a new series, and the biblical author known as Mark is goin...

Title: Rest Assured Series: The Movement Passage: Mark 1:21-34 What are some things you can count on? What would you consider to be a "guarantee"... a promise you can take to the bank every time?

There are powerful principles at play that will not only change the world, but transforms...

Title: Mixed Reviews Series: The Movement Passage: Mark 4:1-20 Why is it that some people can watch a movie, binge a show or read a book and LOVE it —while others walk away from the same one saying, “Meh”?
