This week, in response to the concerns about the COVID-19 spread, we chose to meet from house to house via video rather than a larger gathering.

Matt Larson opens up our series in the book of Daniel, but showing how we are to live "as exiles in a foreign land."

Last Sunday was our Vision Sunday, the main theme flowing out of it was as followers of Jesus we are exiles in this world. This should shape not only our understanding of our place in our neighborhoods and cities, but also how and why we live the way we do. This year we are going to press into this reality and will have key moments throughout the year to teach into this and to help us to live it out.

On Sunday, Garrison finished up the two part series “Let’s Talk about the Bible.” He challenged us by teaching that as followers of Jesus we should not only believe what Jesus believed about God’s word. We should delight in God’s word because it is our foundation, it nourishes us, and it is where we encounter the living God.

On Sunday, Garrison started a two part series on the Bible called “Let’s Talk About The Bible.” In it, he challenged us to look at the Bible as Jesus saw the scriptures. When we look at how Jesus saw the scriptures we see that Jesus loved the scriptures, that He taught they were inspired by God, that He is the fulfillment of the scriptures, and that He is the centerpiece of the scriptures.

In our 7th and final week of our "This Is Anthem" series, Matt and KristenLarson invited up a few couples from within the church and used their stories to teach through generosity. John and Laura Spach talked through the posture of generosity, Vince and Holly Barile talked through the privilege of generosity, and Randy and Cathy Farwell talked through the responsibility of generosity.

Sunday was the sixth week of our “This is Anthem” series, and Kyle Rogan preached through our value of mission. God is taking His name to the ends of the earth. As followers of Jesus, we are ambassadors of God and have been given the ministry of reconciling people back to God. We are to do this wherever we are in this world, not because we are going to earn our place with God, but because this is who He has made us to be.

In the fifth week of our "This is Anthem" series, Ahmad Milby taught through our value of multiplication. Ahmad took us through the scriptures showing how the church, starting with just a few people, has multiplied until it will eventually fill the earth with a multitude of people that no one can number. We also saw how Jesus commissioned his disciples to go make disciples and take His name to the ends of the earth.

In our third week of our "This is Anthem" series, Matt preaches on the Holy Spirit.

In our second week of our "This is Anthem" series, Andy Rodgers from Restored Church: Uptown preached on our value of being a church that is shaped by and cultivates the Ephesians 4 gifts of apostles, prophets, evangelists, shepherds, and teachers.

This Sunday we started a new series called “This is Anthem,” where we are going through our church’s values. Matt preached on our value of being “gospel centered” as a church. The gospel is the good news of Jesus. He became flesh, died for our sins, and resurrected, thereby defeating death. Our goal is to have our whole lives centered on the gospel. If we are going to be people of the gospel then we will have a deep joy in Jesus, love people, be gospel fluent, and repent regularly.
