Title: The In Crowd Series: The Movement Passage: Mark 3:20-35 Who doesn’t want to be a part of the “in-crowd.” Most of us want to be in, to feel accepted and belong. And yet few things are more elusive than the in-crowd. Who’s in and who’s out? How do we become a part? What do we have to do to be IN ? Jesus is building a movement and this week he’s going to take away the guesswork; He is going to...

Title: The Crowd Series: The Movement Passage: Mark 3:7-19 A moment can change everything . But moments come and go. Time passes and moments fade... growing smaller and smaller in the rearview mirror. Moments are powerful. Moments change our lives. But moments are just moments. When Jesus came to earth, He set out to build something bigger than a moment. He was creating something that would extend...

Do you tend to be lavish in your praise of others, dolling it out only in the rarest of circumstances? Or are you full of praise, encouragement and affirmation, giving it out to the point of almost seen insincere? Either way it may be time for a Praise Check. We dive into Psalm 100 as weconsider, what kind of praise does God deserve?

Title: Pretty Big Secrets Series: Songs of Summer Passage: Psalm 32 We all have secrets. Hiding them gives us a sense that we are safe to what others might think about us.

Title: Praise You Like I Should Series: Songs of Summer Passage: Psalm 146 Sometimes it is easy to give thanks and praise God. For the most part, we all live fairly good lives – we are healthy, employed, have our basic needs met, all good things which make it easy to praise God. But what happens when life takes the hard turn, when our health fails, our finances dry up, our lives become up-ended an...

Title: Look Up Series: Songs of Summer Passage: Psalm 113 Perspective is EVERYTHING. The quality of our vantage point determines how much we pay for tickets to the game. It determines the price of the ocean front property. Your point of view determines how you side in a debate or how you react to news. It can also determine how we respond to and face the difficulties of life. This week as we turn...

Title: Sounds Like Team Spirit Series: Songs of Summer Passage: Psalm 133 Songs are powerful. They have the power to bring people together, but drive people apart. When we don’t have our priorities in check, we can let the small things divide us or we can choose (on purpose) to be a team. This week, as we start our new series in the Psalms, Songs of Summer, we are going to listen to a song that sh...

Title: Spot The Difference Series: The Arrival Passage: Mark 2:18-3:6 As a kid I used to do these picture puzzles in my Highlights magazines called Spot the Difference. These puzzles were a good gauge of my ability to perceive the details. Are you attentive to the details? Is it fairly difficult for you to identify differences? This week, Jesus is making some noise. He’s making some statements. An...

Title; Cafeteria Throwback Series; The Arrival Passage: Mark 2:13-17 Ask any high schooler and they will tell you what the scariest place on the planet is... the cafeteria.

We’ll see you this week for our Cafeteria Throwback .

Title: Raise The Roof Series: The Arrival Passage: Mark 2:1-12 If Jesus showed up and said, “Name it and I’ll fix it,” what would you ask from Him? This week we meet a man who could answer that question in a nanosecond. As he comes face to face with the King of God’s Kingdom, he’s going to walk away with even more than he expected.

Title: The Prayer. The Plan. The People. Series: The Arrival Passage: Mark 1:35-45 If you want to find out who a person really is, find out what they prioritize. And as we follow Jesus around for another day, as we see what He prioritizes, the answer to the question we have been asking, who is this Jesus, becomes a little bit clearer. And as disciples of Jesus we must ask this question of ourselve...

Title: The Guest Speaker Series; The Arrival Passage: Mark 1:21-34 There are times in our lives when we’re reminded of the brokenness of our world. This past week has been one of those. The presence of darkness and evil taunt us. The dread of death and disease frighten us. We are like captives as we are confronted by painful reminders of our own mortality and of the world’s brokenness. This week w...

Title: What Time Is It? Series: The Arrival Passage: Mark 1:14-20 What time is it? Everyone who has ever been in a team huddle or in a pre-game locker room knows that you don’t need a watch to answer that question. The correct answer is always, “Game time!” This is when the team realizes that the time has come. The moment they’ve been waiting for is finally here. The wait is over and now it’s time...

Title: A Day To Remember Series: The Arrival Passage: Mark 1:9-13 Most days are unmemorable, coming and going with nothing noteworthy taking place. And then there are days that you will never forget. There are moments of such significance that you will always remember where you were and how you heard the news. This week we will experience anything but “just another day.” The implications and conse...

Title: The Red Carpet Series: The Arrival Passage: Mark 1:1-8 Every great story has a beginning. Jesus Christ came, fulfilling the plan of God told long ago and catalyzing a movement that would spread across the globe, transforming the world. Do you ever wonder what it was like at Ground Zero, the place where it all began? Let's go back to the beginning and see how things happened on day one. In t...

Title: A Jesus Mission Speaker: Andy Ziesemer "Humanitarian aid meets a need for a moment... it's temporal. Christian Missionaries provide aid through the lens of eternity. The supplies we're able to bring creates an opportunity to share the reason we're bringing them." Today, we get to hear from missionary Andy Ziesemer about his missionary sending organization, A Jesus Mission.

Title: This Changes Everything Speaker: Daniel Fuoco Passage: 1 Peter 1:3-12 Last week, we celebrated the death and resurrection of Jesus. His sacrifice made a way for us to have new life: eternal life. But how does the promise of eternal life change the way we live our regular, ordinary, everyday lives? The good and the bad of the messy middle? This week, we're gonna see how Peter encourages exil...

Title: The Craziest Thing You've Ever Heard Series: Gone Passage: Luke 24:1-12; 36-49 During his lifetime, Jesus told his disciples that he would be betrayed, put to death and on the third day rise; a sequence of events that would change the course of history. But they didn’t get it… until Easter Sunday. On that day everything was made clear, as they looked for a body in a tomb, only to realize......

Title: Time To Say Goodbye Series: Unfinished Passage: Philippians 4:10-21 What a trip! We’ve journeyed through the book of Philippians, verse by verse over the last few months.

Title: One Hit Wonder Series: Unfinished Passage: Philippians 4:1-9 We know the marvel that is the One Hit Wonder. What started so well, with so much potential... flops. The ceiling was high and the future was bright – but nothing more materialized beyond the initial exciting moment. When that happens, we're left wondering, “What went wrong? Why couldn’t they go the distance?” This week, Paul give...

Title: Press On Series: Unfinished Passage: Philippians 3:12-21 We know we’re not perfect. Every day, in different ways, our brokenness confronts us and reminds us of the many ways we fall short. Sometimes we despair at the sight of our own sin. We may bow our head in shame or throw our hands up in frustration. Other times we isolate from others or pretend like it’s all okay. This week in Philippi...

Title: Jesus+ Series: Unfinished Passage: Philippians 3:1-11 We’re living in a world of “plus”. We have Disney+, Apple TV+, ESPN+, CNN+, and Paramount+. That little plus sign taunts us! We’re in, but not all the way. We have some of it, but there still more to be gained, a further step to be had. You need the “plus.” Sometimes we approach our faith in the same way: We’re close to God family, but t...

Title: The Power of a Picture Series: Unfinished Passage: Philippians 2:19-30 It’s been said that a picture is worth a thousand words.

Title: What's It There For? Series: Unfinished Passage: Philippians 2:12-18 What’s your ultimate plan for your life?

The Key Ingredient Unfinished Philippians 2:1-11 Some people enjoy baking. Others enjoy eating baked goods. (Who are we to judge?) Either way, they both have the ability to tell when a "key ingredient" is missing.
