2.3.19 Rooted Series: Rooted in Promise . Ephesians 3:1- 12. Jesus said that it is easy to love those that love you. The Love of God however, is immeasurably different. 3 mysteries of His Love include the mystery of God's will, the mystery of God's Love and the mystery that His Love is intentional, even reckless. We are given His love not only for ourselves but for all that we encounter. Be bold, fearless, confident..Reckless.

1.27.19 Rooted Under God. Series Rooted. Ephesians 2:11-22 God is at work in all of us. Far too often we divide over things that ultimately don't matter. Unity, not uniformity is possible only under God. We together become the dwelling place of God, with Jesus as the Cornerstone.

1.13.19Rooted with Purpose. Ephesians 2:1-10 The Church should be the most united place in the world, under the Lordship of Jesus. We are united by our faith and love for one another. Our gathering together is what proclaims the Hope of Jesus. That we the church are a new creation in Christ are rooted in life, we all should join together in love not just tolerance.

1.06.19 Rooted: in Power Ephesians 1 ; 15-23 The world we live in wants to divide us. This makes it easier to conquer us. But God gave us each other and had declared us all One in Christ Jesus. We have Hope by the power of God revealed in Christ at work through the full potential of the Body of Christ(Us). God is at work in this world and no power under Heaven or earth can compare to the greatness of Him.

Rooted Series, Ephesians 1:1-14.There is so much that God has for us in His Word and how might we open ourselves up to His leading through the Apostle Paul to the Church in Ephesus? What if we gave God the power to speak through the book of Ephesians to us as the Body of Christ? Let’s try this together. Once a week, open up and read the whole book of Ephesians in one sitting. It shouldn’t take but about 20-30 minutes at the most. Begin by asking God to reveal His love to you through His Word. Then read it and see what He has to tell you.

12.23.18 The Table Series: When We All Get Together. Acts 2:42-47

The table is an uplifting place as you are inviting someone to join your table. It is a great evener as you share with others, just as Jesus ate with tax collectors and sinners. When we gather, we are all giving and receiving the Spirit's work in our lives as believers through eating and fellowship.

12.16.18 The Table Series: Breaking the Barriers. Feeding the Five Thousand. What do we do when God asks you to care for someone? Food is a reminder of relationship/covenant with God that He will provide for us. It is also a constantly renewed relationship with Him as we gather around tables, Hope is proclaimed as He joins us in sustenance. It breaks down barriers created to keep us separated.

At the Table Series: A Place of Service. John 13:1-10 Jesus did a great deal of teaching and building relationships while sitting around a table. It's easy to just maintain a relationship but we grow the most when we try to grow them. Being around a table allows us to spend time, and grow with each other. "Love is not about intensity, but consistency."

11.18.18 A Church to be Thankful For. Hebrews 10: 19-25. If we think that we can give sacrifices to be cleansed, we are doing it wrong. Whether it is donations, works, etc. Jesus was the ultimate sacrifice. Are you a "Faucet" or a "Sink" Christian? Do you continually need to be refilled? Or are you connected to the Living Source?

11.11.18 God's at War. Colossians 3:1-5 We tend to worship those things that are Created rather than the Creator. Destroy your Idols, do not leave them to take back over your heart. Allow yourself to be open to The Spirit to expose your idols so that you can give them over to Him that can replace them.
