In this message we recap 2016, and look at some of the ways that Jesus has been at work in our midst. There are some incredible stories in here that will encourage you!

The next episode in our study on Margin and Mission is on the topic of financial margin. Like the other issues we have studied- rest, time, emotional margin, finances and financial margin can crush you, or be a great blessing. 

The Gospel is good news, because in it, we receive the power for financial margin. 

As we talk about being a people of margin & mission, one of the primary ways we can lose our margin is in our emotional life. The Gospel proves to be a resource for us in this regard, validating the emotional experiences of our lives and giving us an anchor point for sifting through our emotions. 

The Gospel transforms us into being a people who embrace both margin and mission in our lives. In this week's sermon we explore how that impacts our time, and seek to create margin through letting go in order to lay hold of greater things.

In part 1 of our new series Margin and Mission we teach about the ritual and rhythm of rest in the life of a disciple of Jesus.

In this week's episode of Strong Grace, we study 1 Peter 2.9-12. The apostle Peter shows us how God's grace gives us guidance. God declares our identity, He clarifies our purpose, and gives us loving instruction.

In this weeks episode of Strong Grace, we study 1 Peter 2.6-8. In it the apostle Peter lays out a bold and controversial claim about Christ- namely that He is the only way to salvation.

As we study this verse we clarify what this means, why this can make us uncomfortable, and in the end, why this is really good news. 

As we continue through 1st Peter, we learn that the grace of God that comes through Jesus Christ brings transformation- specifically to our character, our longings and our motivations. 

In this section of 1 Peter we see the call to set our hope fully on the grace that God gives and we see practical steps on how we do that.

In this section of Scripture we see the gift of grace that we have been given in Jesus. It is the gift of God's great mercy, His abundant generosity and His forever faithfulness.
