Join us this Advent season for The Promise - Our Savior Has Come. This week Hope for a Savior

A life of belonging to the truth, a truth that transcends individual limited perspective and allows the community to hear the voice of Christ as the guide and hope for living a life that matters.

The disciples are wowed by the seeming permanence and strength of the temple building. But Jesus says it won’t last. He is asking us to look beyond the moment toward a future realization of the kin-dom that is coming

Ephesians 4 is the beginning of what appears to be a powerful sermon on living as a Christian in a difficult, even hostile world. And all of this begins with encouragement that leads to unity in different ways. And what is that unity that Paul wants for us?

Paul includes a prayer for the believers to understand the Grace coming to us in Ephesians chapter 1 and again today as he wraps up chapter 3. He is praying for us to experience God’s grace—And how do we do that?....

Most worship services begin and end with a message of "Grace and Peace," but do we take time to let that change our attitudes? How do we receive that life-changing message and share it with others?

Setting Our Hope - Ephesians 1: 3-14
