What is this bizarre practice of dunking human beings under water? Where did it come from? Why do we do it? You might be surprised to learn it's more important and foundational to the Christian life than most have realized.

Baptism:
1) Who is it for?
2) Why do we do it?
3) Answering two key questions

Text: Selected Scriptures

Almost any athlete has heard their coach repeat the old sports adage, “You practice how you play.” In this message, we are going to look at some of the basic practices that Christians are invited to adopt that can radically change how their faith plays out in life.

2) Individual Spiritual Disciplines

Text: Philippians 2:12-18

In a world consistently over-promising and under-delivering when it comes to unity, we may wonder if unity with others is even possible. In this message, we’ll look at the striking picture of unity among the people of God that the Bible paints. Which will leave us asking, "How do we get to experience real and lasting unity?" Join us, as we dive into these questions and more.

1) Real unity is as good as it looks. 
2) Because it comes from the presence of God. 

Text: Psalm 133

What was the purpose of the death of Christ? What did it accomplish? How should that influence how the body of Christ relates to one another? All throughout the New Testament, we have these "one anothers." We will look at what those mean in light of the cross.

Since Christ has loved us, we are to love one another.

3 ways:

2) Confess
3) Forgive

Who is the only one knowledgable enough, wise enough and skillful enough to reveal God to you? Answer: God. And He's done so through the Bible. Yes, the Bible is a big deal.

Scripture:
1) Origin
2) Usefulness
3) Outcome

Text: 2 Timothy 3:16-17 

The term "Christian" has more definitions than the number of championships the Green Bay Packers have won. The confusion is understandable. But if there's one topic that needs crystal-clear clarity, it's this. 

There are three statements, three attitudes, three heart postures we need to be true of us, if we’re going to have the assurance we are genuine Christians:
1) "There's something wrong with me."
2) "I can't fix this... but I know who can."
3) "I'm not the same."

Text: Luke 7
