“Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving.” - The Apostle Paul (1 Cor. 8:7)

“We always figured that putting people before products just made good common sense. So far, it’s been working out for us.” - Howard Schultz, Chairman - Starbucks

The church does not exist for us. We are the church and we exist for the world. We are not called to just be spiritual consumers, but spiritual contributors.

Small groups are where people come together on a regular basis and “do life” together. This allows us to genuinely connect with others while being encouraged and challenged in our relationship with God. Being involved in a small group is the simplest way to impact and influence people directly for Christ.

People who were not like Jesus liked Jesus, and he liked them back. Since the church is the body of Christ, people should be drawn to Jesus followers. Even if they don’t agree with the message of the church, they should like the church. So, why isn’t that true?

“You cannot grow without change and change is never comfortable. A lot of people want the church to grow as long as it doesn’t make them uncomfortable. But if the church is going to continue to grow, we must be willing to serve outside our comfort zones.” - Rick Warren

Choices matter. Motives matter. All it takes is one small thing to either bless everything or blow everything up.

Prayer can’t be reduced to a last minute thing to do when all else fails. Communicating to God through extraordinary prayer changes everything!

A catalyst is an agent that provokes or speeds significant change or action. What if you were a catalyst for good, a catalyst for love, and a catalyst for life-change?

At the end of Acts 2, there was a sudden explosion of believers from a 120 to about 3,000—in one day! Yet in this passage, we don’t find any personal pronouns. It’s not about us as individuals—it’s about the Body of Jesus called the Church working together. Let’s discover how being a part of something bigger than yourself makes outliving your life more possible.

Thousands of people had come from dozens of surrounding countries to gather in Jerusalem to celebrate Pentecost. It had been 7 weeks since Jesus’ resurrection. You could hear the hum of hundreds of languages being spoken across the city when suddenly, they were silenced by a loud noise that could only be the power of God. Before this moment, God’s followers had occasionally been empowered by His S...

Have you ever wondered if your life is really making a difference? It’s something we all think about from time to time, and the question is rooted in a desire that was hardwired in us by God. We are the church, and the Holy Spirit has empowered us with the job of spreading God’s Kingdom here on earth. So what are we going to do about it?

In 1939 three men, led by Albert Einstein, approached the president of the United States with the secret to the power of chain reaction. Their work became known as the Manhattan Project, and the chain reaction led to the atomic bomb. Equally powerful, although in a different way, is the power and truth of the gospel. When Jesus appeared alive to His disciples, history changed forever.

Do you ever feel that if God loves you, He loves you less than others? That you’ve been handed the hard road, the unjust life, the messes that other Christians didn’t have to deal with? God has a unique approach to those who are struggling in their faith. He wants you to encounter Him in a powerful way, but differently that most people who are down-and-out often feel He wants to meet them. This we...

With the world so set on tearing itself apart, it don't seem like such a bad thing to me to want to put a little bit of it back together. - PFC Desmond Doss, (USMC)

We believe that everyone has the responsibility to invest in someone’s life who does not attend church and to invite them. Invest and Invite. Inviting them to oneChurch. Inviting them to hear your story, because all of us has a story to tell. Because Found People Find People.

Some people have called the book of Jonah, “One big fish tale,” because some people can’t get past Jonah and the whale. And that is unfortunate. Because it’s not a book about a whale. Jonah is a book about God and His love for everyone. It’s not a book about fish, or a book about Jonah; it’s a book about God’s gracious, lavish invitation for everyone—even people we don’t like—to enter into a relat...

Everyone has thought about it. “How would I respond if I were attacked by a shark?” But the truth is that all of us have been attacked at some point in our lives. While we may not be assaulted by an actual predator from the ocean, we have faced crisis situations where we needed desperately to escape. In this message, we look at a story of a biblical attack where Paul found himself in the middle of...

Everyone deals with sharks. The question isn’t if, but when. To make it out of the water, we’ve got to know what to look for; we’ve got to identify the dangers before we face the attacks. The people closest to you will hands down be your greatest spiritual assets or your worst spiritual curse. Those you spend the most time with can propel you closer to God, or can corrupt your good intentions and...

There is an often-ignored principle that determines the quality and direction of our lives. While we are quick to recognize the importance of this principle in our children’s lives, as adults, we feel like we can disregard it. However, the truth is that we are just as impacted by the power of this principle now, as we were when we were younger. Today, we will discuss how we can become intentional...

Many of us have been labeled by things in the past. Many of us have worn labels that do not reflect what God sees in us or what God calls us to be. We have a choice: allow our labels to control us or allow God’s labels to free us.

At one time or another, all of us have based our self esteem on the labels sewn into our clothes. Member’s Only. Izod. Abercrombie. Labels identify things—and people. We can choose to base our identity on the labels sewn into our jeans, what kind of car we drive, or where our house is located. But when we allow our stuff to define us, we don’t experience the life that God wants us to experience. W...

It bothers some people when cans have no labels. Without labels, we have to take the time to open and discover what’s in there. We label people because we don’t want to take the time to see what’s really inside. Labels identify things…and people. We can choose to base our identity on words spoken about us and relationships built with others, or we can look deeper into our souls and see the label G...
