This weekend, we had the privilege of welcoming guest speaker Heather Gorman, who led us through an enriching study of the book of Hebrews as part of our Bible Series. Hebrews stands out as a profound book, delving into themes of faith, suffering, and the nature of Jesus Christ. Central to its message is the powerful affirmation of Jesus' supremacy. The author of Hebrews carefully compares Jesus t...

This weekend, Terrence concluded our Intentional Parenting series with a powerful message on Finding Rest as a Parent.

As parents, we are invited...

In week four of our Intentional Parenting series, Tyler shares recent sociological data, which notes a trend that many parents are unintentionally passing down a diluted form of Christianity that prioritizes the pursuit of happiness and success—essentially a Christianized version of the American Dream—over a deep, transformative relationship with God. While it’s natural for parents to want their c...

This is week three of our Intentional Parenting Sermon Series, packed with equipping resources for parents and anyone who invests in our next generation. In this sermon, Tyler shared insights from a book by Jonathan Haidt called The Anxious Generation, which argues that in the last few decades, Americans have made two contradictory choices about the safety of our children. We have become way too p...

This Sunday, Terrence Turman kicked off a 3-week series “How to be a Witness”. In Acts 1:7-8 and Matthew 28:19-20, Jesus commands us to make disciples and be witnesses of His teachings. Living a life dedicated to Christ can be uncomfortable and challenging with an internal war between the call of Christ and the call of personal desires, emotions, and the pursuit of a comfortable life. But, through...

In this message, we welcome Professor Jamey Gorman to teach about the importance of church unity. Understanding our history allows us to make better decisions going forward. Unity is one of our vision targets as a church, and we are working on supporting other churches also so that more may know the name of Jesus

Don’t you love the book of James? It’s filled with challenges and wisdom. It’s raw, real, and more direct than any other book in the Bible and it’s even more compelling when we learn about the man who wrote it. James, the younger brother of Jesus, only experienced conversion after he saw his risen Brother. His conversion is one of the biggest proofs of the resurrection of Jesus. James later became...

 “Let justice roll down like waters and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.” - Amos 5:24 Want to know God’s opinions on social justice? Look no further than the book of Amos. It’s a harsh book full of warning. God is just. And He links the sins of injustice and oppression with idolatry. This prophetic book is jam-packed with judgments and pleas for Israel, Judah, and the surrounding nations...

This weekend, we celebrated what God has done over the past 10 Years of Love the ‘Ville!   Love The ‘Ville isn’t just a motto – it’s a movement. To Love the ‘Ville means to unleash God’s love into every area of our lives.

Yesterday, Tyler wrapped up our Roots to Branches message series sharing Jesus’ radical views on family undermining traditional and progressive views. No matter where you came from, or what your family looks like… your family's pain does not define your future. If you just choose to believe there is a big family here to hold you up! The Good News is that the blood of Jesus covers many sins. We are...

You are a better person and a better Christian, when your life is aiming at the harder and more costly thin...

The last two weeks, we’ve focused on the past - both brokenness and blessings. It’s vital for us to learn and honor the blessings of the past, but also to redeem the brokenness that was handed down to us. This weekend, we moved from past to present, and Tyler gave us the first of two spiritual tools to unleash the power of God in our families. Forgiveness. We don’t earn forgiveness by forgiving ot...

On Sunday, Tomara taught on Generational Blessings; part of our Roots to Branches message series. Real blessings draw us back to God. She asked us to look back in our lives and find nuggets of blessings and reminded us that we have been blessed to be a blessing. We are to move into the world from blessing, not for blessing. So, how have God and your parents blessed you? Your challenge this week is...

This weekend, Tyler continued in our series Roots to Branches talking about Family Relationships and focusing on Generational Brokenness. Family relationships are powerful and have a lasting impact and demand on us. One of the main points of this weekend is that we cannot overestimate the impact your family of origin has had on who you are. We all have things from our family of origin that can be...
