One of the hardest things to do in the Way of Jesus is to love your enemies. And yet, it is central to the call to follow Jesus. Pastor Ryan looks at Paul's commands to do so as he continues through Romans 12 in our series on The Church God Uses.

What is it to be genuine? How are we meant to engage each other as fellow believers in authenticity, without ulterior motives? Pastor Ryan continues our series on The Church God Uses in today's message on Authentic Spirituality.

We are made to be a part of something bigger than ourselves. Furthermore, God built the Church in part to be salt and light into the world and to use the gifts he's given us to make things better. What does it look like for you to learn the ways that God has made and gifted you and then to turnaround and offer those things back to Him as a living sacrifice?

There is a tremendous amount of noise in the world circling around us. It will overwhelm and influence us beyond the Way of Jesus if we let it. The key for the effective church is to keep our focus on our north star. We must block out the noise and follow the voice of our Shepherd, maintaining clear thought and being transformed daily into the likeness of Christ.

Pastor Ryan begins a new series about "The Church God Uses". What does it look like for us to be the type of people and assembly that can move powerfully for the Kingdom of God? It starts with Surrender. It starts by bringing everything we have and are to the feet of Jesus, laying those things down, and proclaiming "here I am. Send me." Over the next few weeks we'll look at the 'practicals' of the...

Pastor Mike continues our series on the Living Word of God. How is the Bible relevant to our lives today? Isn't it just a 2000-year-old book after all? Pastor Mike provides a litany of reasons that we should take the Bible seriously now and apply it to our modern lives.

Taylor Schwab continues our series on being Aligned to Scripture with a look at whether or not it is in fact, accurate. How do we know that what we have in our Bibles is what was written? How do we know what was written is true? Taylor leads us through how to answer those questions and what to do with the answers in this weeks teaching on the doctrine of Scripture.

What do we mean when we say that the Bible is "inspired"? What does it even mean to be "inspired"? And, maybe most importantly, what does it mean for our lives if we believe that the Bible truly is the "inspired Word of God"? Pastor Bill Dogterom is with us once more to kick off our series, "Aligned" where we'll look at the authority of Scripture and how we relate to it.

However, this is not a new idea -- everyone knows you need to breathe, what are the practical steps? In this message our mom's discuss some of the issues they faced and how they have been able...

Sometimes it’s easy to identify strongholds in our culture, but God cares deeply about our families. He wants to address the strongholds in our families before he uses us to contend against the strongholds in our culture. It always begins with our house (individual house, church house). Once He leads us, He can use us to lead others.

As we advance forward in our faith to contend against the forces of darkness we will encounter enemy strongholds. These are places with entrenched ideologies and attitudes that oppose the truth about God or his way of life. These strongholds are protected by intimidation, fear of retribution, social pressure (ostracizing or acceptance), reward for compliance (promotion). As we learn to contend str...

This series called “Ask” is intended to teach about the privileged access we have to heavenly resource. It’s intended to raise our faith and confidence access the blessing and help God so desire to give.
