Focus Church Sunday Night Gatherings

We believe scripture has authority in our lives.  We believe that most Christians are missing out because they do not open enough time to begin to be transformed by the incredible story of the universes progression from creation through frustration to redemption at God's hands as outlined in the Bible.   But, we also don't believe that Scripture is God's main curriculum for our maturity....

What is accountability in the church really? How important is it? Is there a way to approach it which isn’t just a dreadful and dreaded duty? Core value 4 explains how we see it and why it’s both more important and less onerous than you thought.

Why we emphasize many-to-many discipleship and what that means.

Our first core value was that we believe the church to be the best place to ask the most important questions.  Our second core value is what we discuss this week.

We begin a new seven part series on why we are what we are. These Core Values are foundational, expository and the drivers of everything we do.

We wrap up our 12 part series on the Foudations of the Faith where it all ends...at the beginning.  

An overview of what we know about the Church.

"Sanctification is not about a debt you owe God for what He's done for you. It's a debt God willingly places himself under to you!"

We've seen where it all started and what went wrong and now we've seen the promise and plan of God to fix it.  So how exactly does He meet this promise?

Like everything else about God, even His plans are Holy:  Completely other in their perfection.  What is the plan?  And how do we fit in it?

Not much else matters if we can't count on God to do what He says!

What is the nature of the fall?  How did that corruption enter in in the first place?  Turns out it's the same choice we're faced with all the time, and it may not be the one you think it is

What does the scripture actually say about being human?  How is it that such evil and such beauty can come from the same  Human Community?

Why can't we find a good illustration to explain the trinity and if it's so hard does it really matter?

We start our series on foundations where everything begins, with God.

Building on a foundation of Rock and why that's so important. 

The Bible encourages all sorts of honest questions; but what does a dishonest question look like?  And how did Jesus answers those? Turns out the answer to this reveals more about the questioner than you might expect, and possibly even a bit about yourself.

We finally return to our series on the Twelve Apostles and find that surprisingly little is said about Judas.  But on the other hand the things we learn about Jesus and his treatment of Judas, is another matter.

Check out this powerful conclusion to Paul's letter.  (WE've fixed our audio issues from last week)

Peace and gratitude should be marks of a christian community

What is the connection between Passover and Easter?  A brief survey of the Old Testament history of Passover and how ir relates to Jesus.

If we've already been crucified with Christ what exactly are we putting to death in Colossians 5?  

Our life is hidden in Christ.  What does that mean?

"True worship is never self imposed, it's never initiated by the self at all.  It is instead always inspired by the one to be worshipped.  True worship is an overflow of devotion, almost completely devoid of self interest or concern at all."

Paul continues to talk about very big things in very big ways.  What does it mean to have received a circumcision not by human hands?
