Spiritual Formation takes two forms -- intentional and unintentional. In this episode we examine the realities of each and chart a path to follow the call of God to "be transformed."
Am I already saved? Am I in the process of being saved? Or will my salvation occur at some future time? The short answer is "yes" to all three. In this episode we will clear up confusion about the biblical concept of salvation, opening the way to a better understanding of our relationship with God and His intentions for us.
Over the next few weeks, we will examine the elements of Intentional Spiritual Formation and their roles in the process of forming us to be more like Jesus. This week we tackle the first of those elements: Teaching.
The goal for every apprentice is to eventually do the kinds of things that his or her master did. The same is true for apprentices of Jesus - to bring the Kingdom of God by saying and doing the types of things Jesus said and did.
How can we become like Jesus? After all, the purpose of apprenticing under Him is that we might become like Jesus and do the kinds of things that He did. In this episode we examine some of the factors that shape and form us as individuals - either towards Christlike character and living, or away from it.
This is our second week in this sermon series based on the book Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer. How should we understand what it means to become a disciple or apprentice under Jesus? In what ways should that direct our path in life. Join us this week as we discover the answer to those questions and the three primary goals of any apprentice.
Jesus came that we may have life... and have it abundantly. Are you experiencing that abundant life? What accounts for the difference between his promise and our experience? The answer, often times, is us. And the lives we lead. Join us this week for the invitation into that abundant life.
Faced with an impossible situation, Jesus once again demonstrates his power and authority over those things that make man's toil in the world laborious. It is a moment reminiscent of one of Israel's greatest leaders and causes those present to wonder if Jesus might be the one they've been waiting for.
Why was Jesus ministering and healing on the Sabbath? Join us today as we uncover the reality behind the relationship of God to the Sabbath and why the words "My Father is working..." were so infuriating to those who opposed Jesus.
Following His encounter with Nicodemus, Jesus chooses to pass through Samaria on His way to Galilee. At a well outside the town of Sychar, a most unusual scene unfolds. Join us as we dive into one of the most beautiful accounts in the Gospels and discover the offer of Living Water.
Nicodemus, a leader of the Pharisees, has seen and heard enough to know that God is with Jesus. But he is unsure what it all means. Join us for this week's message as we discover the most important thing for Nicodemus - and us - to understand about the new era that Jesus is ushering in.
Join us today as we step into a wedding celebration in Galilee. An issue arises that leads to an interesting exchange between Jesus and his mother. In the end, we are privy to the first of seven miraculous signs revealing the deity of Jesus.

In this week's message and with John the Baptist as our example, we will discover a critical key for discovering and fulfilling the purposes that God has for our lives.
John wraps up his Prologue with the implications of the incarnation. What is the significance of Jesus being full of grace and truth? And what does he mean that we have received grace upon grace? That's what we'll discover this week in John 1:14-18.
The Gospel of John stands apart from the other Gospels. While the others serve as a summary or synopsis of the life of Christ, John's Gospel paints a unique portrait of the heart of God. Join us this week as we see the portrait emerge and an invitation extended.
"Greetings, O favored one..." Those were the angels initial words to Mary. Significant words. But words that troubled her a bit. Join us this week as we look at Mary's invitation into the Christmas story and the relevance of those words for us.
The question as we transition from the life of David to the life of Solomon is, "Will he, like his father, be a man after God's own heart?" Join us as we dive into First Kings and discover the secret to a life lived out of wisdom.
The Bible tells the unfolding story of redemption that God has been writing in the world. It is a story that continues to be written individual by individual and generation by generation. As He does so, it is worth asking: Is there a particular kind of person God is looking for? A characteristic they must possess to be gold in the Author's hand? Join us as we explore this question and discover the surprising answer in the book of First Samuel.
The book of Ruth is a story of unwelcome sorrows, unlikely heroes, and unexpected redemption. It follows the life of an Israelite woman named Naomi and her daughter-in-law Ruth as they navigate an uncertain future as widows in foreign lands.
