The Lord is asking those of us who have been trapped and terrified to break camp and take a step of faith. Where do you feel enslaved by fear? If God showed up to be exactly who He says He is in that area, what would your step of faith look like?
The “blood of Jesus” is often a religious phrase we throw around that an increasingly growing number of people don’t understand. Let’s unpack this ancient idea that offers freedom and life for those who believe today.
Sin over-promises and under-delivers. Even the sin that feels good on the front end leaves us empty or wounded over time. God came to free us from the enslaving power of sin, but what it requires on our part is surrender.
Deep down we all want the same thing – freedom. But, we all go after it in different ways and are often looking for the wrong thing . The book of Exodus gives us hope that we don’t’ have to earn or work for freedom – we simply have to receive it. And that should give us hope!
Life is hard. Whether we want to admit it or not, we need help from others. The call for the church is to be a people who carry one another to Jesus, finding healing, identity, and strength together in Him!
Our greatest call is to serve one another, we do that best in small groups. Let’s discover how Jesus commands us to love one another in this way.
Community is what each of us has been created for and community is necessary for human flourishing. Community is where the irrational commitment to the well-being of its members is happening. However, you don’t just drift into community. It takes intentionality, making it a priority, and being committed to community. To know and experience an authentic and vibrant Christian community is to be loved and a community of loving people is God’s signature.
Forming deep relationships is hard. This sermon will unpack Hebrews 10:19-25 and show how enduring faith is often connected to enduring Kingdom relationships. We will dissect some of the biggest barriers to forming community and give practical advice on how to overcome these barriers and form kingdom friendships that are anchored in the calling of God on your life.
We live in a world that highly values individualism and we often assume that Jesus does too. However, Scripture makes it clear that our deepest transformation happens in the context of community.
So many of us view church as optional. When the schedule works out or when we need a spiritual pick-me-up, it’s a good place to pop-in. But Jesus had something entirely different and much better in mind when he started building the Church – He was starting a new family.
Peculiar is not a label any of us wants to use for ourselves, but God actually uses it to describe everyone who has found Life in His son and has become His very own. Peculiar in that case means uncommon, special, and filled with the contagious love of God. It’s this “peculiar” design that is at the heart of God using us all to change our world! Get ready to learn how!
The enemy of our souls speaks the language of lies. God’s Word is given to us to combat the lies so we can stand firm in what is true. Let’s learn how to discern the lies and defeat them with the Truth.

Denial of a war doesn’t do anything but make us less prepared to be victorious in it.

Becoming more like Jesus for the good of others involves more than maturing in Christlike character. It also means having the same supernatural power Jesus had. Let’s discover how we can do even greater things than Jesus did!

We’ve been remembering our roots as a church, that God planted and established over the last 50 years. Today, we turn the corner into our present cultural moment and God’s leading in this season. Let’s envision becoming the type of people our world needs today.
