Normal isn't working, so let's get zany about the Gospel!

Guest speaker, Stuart Hall, finishes our series on how Jesus prayed by reminding us that He has all we need so we can trust Him.

This week we go back into the The Lord's Prayer and focus in on how Jesus asks us to pray that the Kingdom of Heaven would come to earth.

Although Jesus related to God intimately as Father, He also quickly helped his disciples understand that we are not to treat God casually. He is Holy. There is never a good excuse to speak to God like we would a buddy.

As we begin the series, we will look to whom Jesus directed his prayer. There is an intimacy in which Jesus approaches the One True God that had not been seen before. We will also lay down the principle; It's not just what you say, it's how you say it.

When someone else hurts us, we want justice - though the problem is in life that usually never happens. God has given us a way to bury the hatchet that we would least expect, forgiveness. As we close this series, we will walk through the biblical process of forgiveness to find that freedom in Christ from what we've been holding on to.

So far, we've seen that relationships can bless and hurt us. For those that have hurt us, we can't begin the process of burying the hatchet if we don't first identify who has wounded us and how they have wounded us. This week the goal is to uncover our specific hurts and wounds as we remember that our Savior invites us to come to Him with our pain and sorrow to find rest in Him.

Last week we said that relationships are a blessing - but, let's be honest they aren't always. Instead of blessing us, relationships can hurt us. Philemon's relationship with Onesimus gives us insight into this reality. This week we will begin the process of recognizing the hurt that exists…

We begin the series by introducing the often neglected book of Philemon, a simple book of the Bible that portrays both the beauty and difficulty of relationships. This week we will see how God has uniquely designed relationships to bless our lives.

Guest speaker, Pastor Damian Boyd of Vertical Church ATL, speaks to us about God's heart for our neighbors.

Lead Pastor Rob McDowell teaches on God's heart for the nations.

Parenting is one of God’s major tools for sanctification. God uses two imperfect people to guide, protect and sacrifice for small people who will never fully appreciate them or what they’ve done until they are parents themselves.  The cost is great, but the reward for both parents and children is priceless.

One of the great struggles in all marriages is conflict. No matter who you are or where you’re from, it is impossible to always agree with someone. Especially when you live and are raising a family together. So how do we respectfully disagree with our spouse, while not destroying or humiliating them? This week, with Scripture as the primary guide, adults and couples will be encouraged to fight fai...

Week 3 in the series Team Us. Once the team has come together, a shift takes place. For some, this shift happens over night. For others, it takes many years. This is the shift from ME to WE. This week, we will explore the key ingredient of humility and submission to one another in order to properly move from ME to WE.

God created marriage to be a team venture. But how does, and more importantly, how should the team come together. This week, we will explore the progression from, “Nice to meet you” to “I Do!” with specific emphasis on how God has called us to prepare our people for marriage.

As we begin the Team Us teaching series, we will discuss the end goal of marriage:  Eternity.  Having a picture of where you are going greatly helps you get there. 

Next Sunday is Easter. In the Christian world, this time of year brings with it great anticipation, excitement, and worship. As we prepare to celebrate the gospel together, two things will grow and enhance our ability to do this collectively: Prayer and Fasting. Both of these things are forms of worship. Fasting is how we worship God through dependence upon Him rather than earthly materials or sus...

Worship is revelation and response. The goodness of God is revealed in all of life, but the Word of God is the primary place of revelation. One of the best ways we can worship God beyond a song is setting aside time to read and study His Word each day. Every time we do this, worship takes place. We receive God’s revelation and respond according to what’s been revealed. The Word renews our mind and...

So far, we’ve said that we all worship. Worship is more than a song, is clear in the way we live our lives, but includes singing songs. This week, we will look at another way that worship is more than a song, yet takes place within the walls of the church. Each Sunday, hundreds of adults and college students come and serve during our services. Around here, we call these people Table Setters. Each...

As we stated last week, worship is definitely more than a song. But, singing is a key part of our worship to God. So why do we sing? What are we communicating when we sing songs each week? We sing as a response to what’s been revealed to us about God. We sing about God and to God. We sing to teach and remind ourselves the timeless truth’s in God’s Word. Singing also takes on a variety of postures....

We’re all worshippers. Whether we believe in Jesus or not, we all worship something, because worship is simply revelation and response. Whatever grabs our attention and holds our energy and affection is what we worship. Clearly, it’s more than singing a song. For those who follow God, worship is a life of response to God for who He is and what he’s done for us. As we begin our time in this series,...

As we conclude the series, we will look at one more pivotal way that God calls us to treat one another, encouragement. We are called to remind one another of the great things God has done, as well as the future hope we have in Christ's return.

This week the call is to serve one person in our sphere of influence, asking God to make us humble and more like Christ.

Last week we talked about confessing our sins to one another, now we will build on that with carrying one another's burdens.

The Bible calls for us to confess our sins to one another, but in reality many of us rarely do. God designed confession to bring sin out into the light and set us free. We all have a mess, therefore confess.
