The one in which we talk about the primary mission of the church. The article mentioned can be found at: https://www.thegospelcoalition.org/blogs/kevin-deyoung/churches-cant-everything/ 

Week 2 of Mark will take us through Mark 1:21-45 . Mark will continue zipping us along through the beginning of Jesus’ ministry. If you were to describe the primary focus of Jesus’ earthly ministry, how would you describe it? In this passage, we’ll see what Jesus thought of his primary focus and how he lived that focus out.

The one in which we talk about baptism.

We’ll begin our new series looking at the Gospel according to Mark this week! That means we’ll be spending most of the next year walking through this book. This week we’ll start at the very beginning where we see how the way was prepared for Jesus, then move to the inauguration of Jesus’ ministry. Unlike the other Gospel accounts, Mark gives us very little detail about Jesus’ birth and instead cho...

The one in which we talk about money.

I decided to expand our “Theological Tune Up” series by one more week to deal with everyone’s favorite dinner table topic: money. What does the Bible say about money, how do we faithfully use money, and why do churches talk about “tithing”? This week we’ll be taking a look at a number of passages that talk about money and help us understand why God cares so much about what we spend our money on.

The one is which we talk about transgenderism.

One of the cultural hot topics of our day is transgenderism. Real hurt has led to confusion around gender and identity in our world today. How does affirming God’s image in us give hope to those struggling with their own identity? And how can we be full of grace and truth towards those who are hurting without compromising what God says about our creation as male and female? Join us as we begin to...

The one in which we talk about Paul's "thorn in the flesh" (2 Cor. 12:7-10)

Mental health is a topic that has taken the spotlight in the past few years. Because of that, it’s important that our thinking on this topic be shaped by Scripture and reflect God’s heart for the hurting (Heb. 4:14-16), while also considering the effects of sin on our world and on our bodies. This week we’ll use Matthew 6:25-34 as a starting point as we think through what it means to be faithful f...

The one in which we talk about inerrancy and infallibility.

We're starting a new sermon series this week looking at a few hot topic issues and how we should engage them as Christians. This week, we'll be answering the question: what's the big deal about the Bible? Christianity isn't unique in having a sacred text, but why do we believe the Bible is true and other ancient texts are false? And why do we spend so much time reading and studying it together? Jo...

We’ll be finishing our ‘Demystifying Discipleship’ series this week as we look at how we make disciples formally and informally. How do we pursue making disciples in every area of our lives? Deuteronomy 6 gives us a beautiful picture of what this looks like. How do you think you can make disciples formally and informally?

The one in which we talk about our liturgy.

As we continue to think about what scripture says about discipleship, there is one element of our weekly rhythm we must consider: our Sunday morning gathering. Throughout the history of the church, God’s people have gathered to worship and to encourage one another. How we should approach church has caused division in the church’s history, but there are things which scripture makes clear about our...
