Happy Mother's Day! We love our moms, and we love Jesus' mom. On Sunday, we will be taking a look at her life as a mom and how it applies to you! Don't miss it!

Join us this week as we continue our conversation about the Holy Spirit. We will dive into understanding both who He is and our relationship with Him in our lives.

Jesus' post resurrection life was defined by His vision for the church. He spent 40 days teaching, training and preparing His followers for the call He had on their lives. His vision for His followers was simple... He handed them the mission of saving the world, promised to be with them in the person of the Holy Spirit, and empowered them in the power of the Holy Spirit! This week we will be focus...

This Sunday, we will continue our conversation about the Resurrection and why it is so foundational to our faith. It is an important message, and we hope you will be here!

Resurrection!! It is the source of Easter and the foundation for the Christian faith. We celebrate it, we sing about it, and we thank God for it. On Sunday, we will talk about it and the rest of the story of Jesus, but we are going to dive a little deeper into what it means for us and how to think and speak about it in such a way that the world around us sees its importance! I want to spend time c...

"Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna!" These words are spoken every Palm Sunday in almost every church in the world, marking the beginning of Holy Week, the week leading up to the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. But what did they mean to those who spoke them, and what expectations were fueling their expression? Did Jesus meet those expectations, and if he didn't, wha...

I love stories in life that challenge me to recognize growth areas! On Sunday, we will look at one of those stories, the story of the Widow's Gift, as we learn about the importance of sacrifice in generosity! We will focus on sacrifice and its specific source, one that starts with Jesus and ends with our excited response of worship. Our response this Sunday will be our worship in bringing our Comm...

On Sunday, we will continue our journey through the Genius of Generosity. We hope you will join us as we consider the following: We often feel the need to have more money in order to feel safe, content, and happy. How much effort do we put into the pursuit of money for those reasons, and why did Jesus spend so much time teaching about money?

On Sunday, we are taking our next step in being a people who seek the prosperity of the city in which we live by focusing on generosity. Generosity is a choice, and this Sunday we will consider why generosity is truly genius, as we look at Matthew 6:19-24 and Jesus' words regarding generous investment. We can't wait to see you!

This Sunday, we are thankful to have Dr. Charles Sineath come and share with us! He will continue our conversation about what it means to live our lives in the context of our community for those who disenfranchised, disconnected, and in need of Jesus.

"Actions speak louder than words!" This adage speaks volumes about the love of God for us and the love we are to have for our community. On Sunday, we will finish our journey in Jeremiah 29 as we see that ownership must move to action in the context of loving our neighbors because love is ALWAYS expressed as an action. Hope to see you there!

On Sunday, we will look at Jeremiah 29:7 and focus on God's call to ownership, taking the things God is compassionate about and owning them with responsibility! Whatever God owns, we are called to own!

God is calling us to root ourselves in our community. He first needs to bring a perspective shift, an awakening, to his heart for those around us in need. Second, He wants to capture our hearts with a compassion that ultimately leads us to action. This Sunday, we will look again at Jeremiah 29 as we talk about what it takes to move us to compassion as we root ourselves in the lives of our neighbor...

On Sunday, we will look at the elder son from the prodigal son story. We will dive into the call to be generous by recognizing others' needs before our own and will see how the elder son walked with an orphan spirit which caused him to be unable to celebrate what was best for his father and his younger brother. Please join us this Sunday!

We are God's children; therefore, we are able to live aware of his presence at all times. However, so many of us live as if we are orphans, parentless, and unaware of God's movement in our lives and his presence leading us. This Sunday, we will take an honest look at our lives, God's promise of adoption, and how we are responding to his promise on a daily basis. Our scripture foundation will be Ro...

Because of the first Advent of Jesus and the promise of His second coming, hope, love, joy, and peace are here! They are available to us every day, but do we truly believe this? Do we live this way? With the Holy Spirit in us, we can live lives marked by love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness and self-control every day! Do we fully grasp all that He has offered us...

Sunday is Christmas Eve and the last Sunday of Advent. We will be celebrating with our children at 10am and with candlelight at 5pm and focus on the "Arrival of Peace" at Christmas AND everyday of our lives in the person of Jesus!

This third week of Advent we will focus on the angel's words to the shepherds regarding Jesus... "Good news of Great Joy!" What does it mean for us to experience an advent of joy in our daily lives? What does it mean that joy is not circumstantial but is instead eternal? This Sunday, we will talk about the impact of advent in bringing joy and what it means for our lives every day!

We can hope for the arrival of God in our lives!! The Advent season is about "The Arrival." It speaks to the fact of Jesus' first arrival and turns us towards a life prepared for his second coming, but in an even deeper sense, it speaks to the truth of God's arrival in every part of our lives on a daily basis! All of us struggle with this, though, and lose hope! This Sunday, we will look at the li...

Preparation...a word that speaks to getting ourselves ready for what lies ahead. On Sunday, we will look at the work God is doing in our midst and the need to partner with Jesus in the preparation He is doing in us for the works he has prepared for us to do!
