We have been studying John 17 throughout our series Why Pray? In this passage, we read a prayer that Jesus prayed just hours before His crucifixion. At the Last Supper, we see Him praying to His Fathe...

Are you confident in your prayers? When you pray do you have confidence that God will hear you or protect you? Maybe you wonder how you can have that confidence.

Today, as we continue in our series, Why Pray? We will continue to see how throug...

Have you ever wondered if God is generous? Maybe you have trouble fully understanding what God has given us or if He’s given us anything.

The more time we spend in the Word, the more we will learn God's character. Je...

Why do we pray? How should we pray? Questions many of us have likely wondered before. As we strive for growth in our relationships with God, prayer is a main way we get to know who God is and align our hearts with Him.

Who are you sharing the Gospel with in your everyday life? Maybe you are more reserved when it comes to spreading the love of Christ or maybe it's something that comes naturally to you, either way scripture tells us about the joy it brings to communities when it is shared. This Sunday, we will hear from Pastor Chris about sharing the joy of the Gospel. In the church, it's important for us to have...

How do we walk with the Spirit? Is it as simple as walking and the Spirit joins us? In a way, it is as simple as that, but if we want to live lives liberated from the law and walk in the freedom of Christ, there are a few other steps we have to take. Today we continue in our message series in Galatians, Good News , diving into what it means to be free in Christ. Before we come to know Christ, we l...

Have you found yourself reverting back to old habits and places of comfortability? Often this reversion happens because of our innate sin nature pushing us back into our old ways--but when we are in Christ we are called to freedom. Maybe you fall into the state of mind that you can be sufficient on your own and do it all on your own, Jesus deeply desires us to reject this thinking and stand firm i...

As Christians, how does the Gospel form us? Maybe this question has crossed your mind or maybe it hasn’t, the formation we go through in Christ is an ongoing process. This week we continue in our series, Good News , studying the Gospel and how it shapes our lives. As we seek after Christ and are continually molded by Him, we are given three action steps.

By belonging to Christ we find a new sense of freedom; we are adopted into the body of Christ. Our faith is not justified in our works, but by faith alone in Jesus. As we dive into another week of our Good News message series, we will see this week that the Gospel alone is all we need. Paul writes in his letter to Galatia that he has been crucified with Christ, stating that Christ lives in him, no...

In Christ, we are made new. 2 Corinthians 5:17 reminds us of the change that comes when we are in Christ, our old self is washed away, and we are renewed.

We live in a society infatuated with consumerism. Social media and brands are constantly creating new things and bringing to our attention something new that we need to feel fulfilled. We buy the latest gadgets, clothing items, and accessories, almost with the intent that the more we buy the more we will feel content. For the past month, we have been walking through our Metamorphosis series, tackl...

Our Metamorphosis series has been focused on transforming our minds to align with Christ, this week we will talk about anger and reframing our mindset on how we handle ang...

Scripture does not shy away from the fact that as we walk this life, we will face adversity. Following Christ does not take us away from difficulties, challenges, or adversity, it may heighten them—all for His glory. This week in our Metamorphosis series, we looked at adversity and found out how we can look at adversity as opportunity rather than a hindrance. In Philippians, Paul writes about his...

But it seems that many have fallen into apathy. With the truth that we are living in the last days, that statement should change the way we live and act. As we continue in our Metamorphosis series, this week we will ad...
