Last week we kicked off a new series that focuses on the idea that a generous soul is a reflection of a generous God. Each week, we are taking practical steps to embrace God’s abundant generosity throughout different areas of our life. Today, we look at generosity from a different perspective, focusing on the generosity of the Gospel. To be able to live generously with joy, we must first give than...

We’re jumping right into a brand new teaching series called, The Way. Throughout the next year, we are focusing on spiritual habits that form us. In this series, we are honing in on the topic of generosity. This week we are specifically looking at the generosity of God along with His nature and character that is on display all throughout the bible. The character of God is generous, but too often w...

Today we had the opportunity to share in the celebration of baptism with one another. In part with the life given to us anew in Christ, we get to hear a special teaching from guest speaker, Bob Hoyt. Bob talks to us about the subject of our story. We have our own storyline within the much grander narrative of God. As seen in 2 Corinthians, by finding our story inside of Christ, we become a new cre...

Can you believe that we are already in our 4th week of ‘Castles of Sand’? We have loved this practical series, helping us to find rhythms to stand on as we build a solid foundation in 2021. This week we discuss the topic of forgiveness. In Matthew 6:12 we see that there is a daily happening of seeking forgiveness of our debts, as we forgive our debaters. Within that happening, there is a releasing...

As we step into week 3 of our current series, "Castles of Sand'', Pastor John talks about the habit of hearing. We discuss how Intentional hearing is key to shaping what you will get out of the things you hear in God’s word. We discuss the question ‘if intentionality is key to my spiritual growth and my identity, what’s my intention when it comes to hearing the words of Jesus? To help identify you...

We are in our second week of Castles of Sand, and we are diving into the rhythm of prayer. Prayer is the medium that carries us to experience God, taking all of who we are as we step into connection with God in a fresh way. If we are going to build our life on a firm foundation, then one of the practices and realities is that prayer will be a part of our life.  In today's teaching, we look at prac...

We are starting the new year with a brand new series, 'Castles of Sand'. This series is all about the rhythms to stand on. A foolish man builds his house on sand - what are you building your life's foundation on? The ground for building is optional, but storms are not.  In this series, we will look at practical rhythms to put in place to help you have a solid foundation that will not waver when th...

Week four of A Reason For Hope focuses on the topic of Peace. As a peacemaker, you have been given the raw materials to make something new. Because of our hope in Jesus, you can go and make peace by sowing and cultivating peace in your life. What about the moments where peace feels miles away and everything in your life feels like it's in turmoil and chaos? Today we see that, while you're longing...

For our 3rd week of our Advent series, A Reason For Hope, we discuss the Hope of Joy that is given through Jesus. The things that happen around you shouldn't dictate the joy that you have. Because of the birth and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus, we can have great joy no matter the circumstances that we face. Joy starts internally and translates externally. When you walk with the spirit...

In week two of our Advent series, A Reason For Hope, we lean into the period of waiting that took place while anticipating the arrival of Jesus. In today's teaching, we turn to the Bible to see how waiting is actually an act of love that God has given to us. Waiting is never void of tension and we live in a culture that tells us that the act of hurrying and receiving instant results are far better...

This week we launch our new series, "A Reason For Hope". In this series, we focus on the season of advent; looking both behind us and in front of us with anticipation of the arrival of Jesus. In this season, we have a reason for the hope that we have. Today we are focusing on having gratitude in the present and hope for the future because of the truth from the past. Watch today's teaching to hear...

In a culture that is surrounded by noise, we are invited to make it our ambition to lead a quiet soul, which is the result of a quiet life. How is it that we are to enter into a tranquil, calm, quiet life? That is exactly what Pastor Ron talks about in his teaching titled, "A Quiet Life". In this season of life, it's easy to find ourselves busy and distracted from the things that God has placed be...

We are greatly encouraged today as we face our fears and run towards them, knowing that God is with us and that God is for us. Today Pastor John walks us through the character and nature of God. As we read about who God says that he is, we can better understand the God who is walking with us, even as we face our fears. Because of the character of God and because he is the foundation of our faith,...

In today's message, we turn our focus towards recognizing our sin and creating a space to allow for intentional time with God.  Pastor John dives into the book of Exodus to walk through the life of Moses. We find that even when he was deep into the wilderness, God showed up and God found him right where he was at, despite the battles that he has faced or the bondages he was enslaved to.  To hear m...

In today's teaching we ask the question, "If we were to take our cues from Jesus, then how would we disciple someone else?". This is exactly what Pastor Ron discusses as he wraps up our current teaching series, The Way of the Apprentice. We are challenged and inspired by this timely and practical message that walks us through John 13 & John 14. As we analyze the actions and words of Jesus, we see...

In the second to last week of the series, The Ways of the Apprentice, Pastor John leads us through a conversation that addresses our inclination of viewing people through a lense that chategorizes us from them. We begin to transition our mindset from having a divided mentality to seeing the humanity in people the way that God sees the humanity in people.  We are challenged this week to set our hea...

"One of the core essential things about being disciples of Jesus is that they GO they make other disciples". We have made it to week seven of the series, The Ways of the Apprentice, and we are LOVING this series. We've spent the last six weeks discussing different perspectives of being an apprentice of Jesus and now it's time to help others be discipled within their relation with Christ.  Pastor R...

Our 6th week of The Ways of the Apprentice is brought to us by special guest, Chris Simning. This week we are encouraged by Chris' life and the powerful message that he brings.  As we take our apprenticeship with Jesus deeper, we discuss the importance of remaining in Christ. "To REMAIN is about Jesus breathing life into our stories and filing the blank page of your soul with purpose".  Are you re...

In our fifth week of our current series, The Ways of the Apprentice, Pastor John brings a new perspective to apprenticeship and discusses how we can be more like Jesus through grace and harmony. Join us as we dive into Mark 6:32-44 and look at how Jesus conveys the power of grace and harmony within the story of feeding the 5,000 men. Through the compassion that Jesus had for people, he stepped int...

In week four of The Ways of the Apprentice, Pastor Ron discusses walks us through Mark 8:34 where we encounter a rather strong call to be Jesus' true disciples and he calls us to PUT OUR SELF ON THE SHELF and follow Him. In reading Mark 8 together, we will analyze and breakdown 3 aspects of our discipleship with Jesus and look at practical ways to directly apply these aspects to our life.  Join us...

We are in our third week of our current series, The Ways of the Apprentice. This week Pastor Mike talks about taking our apprenticeship with Christ to the next level by the act of listening, servanthood and discipleship. "Being a servant of Jesus is good; being his disciple is better. Don't be one without the other".  As we dive into the story of Mary and Martha, we find that this story was given...

In the second week of our series, The Ways of the Apprentice, Pastor John talks about the importance of living our life as if Jesus was living our lives for us. An apprenticeship is not just about gaining knowledge, but it is about the application through action, based off of that knowledge. "If we are ever going to look like Jesus, who we are an apprentice to, we have to put things into action"....

As we begin our new series, The Ways of the Apprentice, We hear from Pastor Ron about what it means to be a disciple. We see that a disciple is a learner and follower, imitating that of their leader. What does that mean for us as followers of Jesus Christ? As we look at the two main components of being a disciple of Jesus, we learn how we too can follow him, be with him and be sent out by him. Thi...

In the sermon series titled "Road trip", we are on a journey to see things that we have possibly already been seen before, and to see them in a new light. We hope to create a new point of view by having a different line of sight, seeing things in a slightly different way.  In Part 3 of "Road Trip", Pastor John wraps up the series by talking about the destination of our trip - stepping out into the...
