We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that i...

There's a number of things in life we can take for granted. In the same way, we can take for granted some of the essentials of our faith and spiritual lives. In this 10-week series we're using our Statement of Faith as a guide as we dig deeper into the essentials of what we believe and why they matter to everyday life. We begin by looking at who God is. Article 1: God – We believe in one God, Crea...

As we wrap up our series, we’re reminded that nothing will change in regard to the culture of outrage we live in apart from personal, loving engagement. We’ve been sent as ambassadors of Jesus, to live and love as he would and as he does. The Father sent Jesus to almost exclusively small places—small towns and villages that seemed insignificant in many ways. Our big God put on flesh and moved into...

We’re sent by Jesus as his ambassadors, and there’s not any area of life where we do not represent him—for better or for worse. A Christian’s only presence is as important as their physical presence.

There are things we must get angry about—the same things that anger God. What we get angry about will often reveal who or what we are worshiping. When it's right anger about things that anger God, it reveals our worship of...

Outrage and disgust seem to go hand in hand. We get outraged about something and it often leads to disgust in the person or group that we view responsible for whatever caused our outrage. Similarly, we’ll find ourselves disgusted with someone or some group and it fuels outrage within us. It’s a vicious cycle as the two play off one another. The problem with holding disgust towards someone (disgust...

We begin a new 5-part series called "Life in the Age of Outrage" this week. Inspired by and borrowing from the 2018 book from Dr. Ed Stetzer, "Christians in the Age of Outrage", this series will explore how, as followers of Jesus, we can bring our best to a world at its worst. After a lengthy introduction to the series, we dive into 2 Corinthians 5:18-21 and explore what it means to be an "ambassa...
