This week, we come to the final rhythm of life in our Abide series; Be on mission. In this message, Alex will explain from 1 Peter 2:9-12 how we can live with a purpose this summer. Our "words" and our "walk" are a "witness" to the God we know and love.

Ben Brannon is back to bring us a message on the value of encouraging and bearing one another's burdens. He does this as we continue to learn what it means to Abide in Jesus. If abiding is the way that we grow as disciples, then the 4 main ideas of our Abide series teach us how to do that: Be, Belong, Be in Community, and Be on Mission.

This week, Paul Anthony, continues our Abide series by teaching about being in community. He tells us that there are three important tools that God uses to grow us as we alongside other disciples: accountability, correction, and confession.

Spending time with God's people is a key part of the lifestyle of a disciple. This is the topic that Alex teaches on today in our eighth message in our series on the 3 3's of discipleship. You were never meant to live the Christian life alone, God designed it to be done in community.

In our fourth message from our March Serve Month, Jess will teach from Luke 9 about the cost of being a disciple. She shows how if we want to follow Jesus, He asks that we don't put it off, but we do it today. Sometimes we are scared that we will miss out on things of this world if we follow Jesus, but in this message you will learn that Jesus is better.

This is our 7th week of our series learning about what a disciple of Jesus is, how they think, and how they live. The focus of this message is the first of the three marks of the lifestyle of a disciple. Alex will use the example of Moses and the example of Jesus to teach that disciples spend time with God.

Saying that we know, love, and trust God means nothing without us living it out. Our words say something, but our actions are the evidence that our words are true.

Join us as Alex brings a message that will help you think about what it means to obey God.
