Colossians 2:6-15In the final message of this series on the Atonement, Pastor James looks at the "Christus Victor" understanding of what the death of Jesus. What does it mean for us today to know that Jesus won a decisive battle with sin and Satan on the Cross? How should His victory there and then impact our lives here and now? Today we celebrate that Jesus is VICTORIOUS, and because He is, so can we be!

John 15:1-8 & 1 John 4:7-12Continuing to look at just what took place in Christ's suffering and death on the cross, Pastor Jake presents another understanding of the atonement. This concept of the cross is called "Moral Influence" and was the predominantly held perspective by the earliest Christian theologians of the 2nd and 3rd centuries. Hear about its' unique view of what Christ came to do.

Romans 5:6-8What exactly did God accomplish through the Cross of Jesus Christ? What benefit was Jesus' suffering and death for the world? What difference does His death make for us today? In this new series, we look at different biblical and historical understandings of the Atonement, seeking not only greater clarity in our thinking, but in our living. We begin by thinking about what it means for Jesus to have been our Substitute; suffering in our place, taking the punishment that was due to us because of our sin, making our pardon from sin possible.

Matthew 5:14-16In this final message of our series on the relationship between faith and work, we consider Jesus' command to let our light shine to the world around us. What does this look like in the workplace? What are ways we can be a witness for Christ in ways that are appropriate and effective? Listen in to get some ideas for mission in the 9-5 Window.

2 Thessalonians 3:6-13In this second message in a series on the relationship between our faith and our work, we focus in on the how question of our work. We're most often interested in the what and the where concerning our work, but God seems most interested in the how. God's Word tells us to "never tire of doing what is right." Listen in to hear how this should impact our job performance, our ethics and integrity, and our understanding of the balance between work and rest.

Genesis 1:26 - 2:3For too long the issue of work has been the "elephant in the room" for followers of Jesus. What does the Bible have to say about work? Can our faith intersect with our work in meaningful and important ways? What will it look like for Christians to practically live out their faith in the workplace? Listen in as Pastor James begins a new series reflecting on these and other questions.

Ephesians 4:17-32Pastor Jake finishes this series on the Church by inviting God's people to live in purity and in the "optimism of God's grace." As the Church, we are to be "children of the Light" realizing that what is at stake here is not only the reputation of the Church, but our very lives!

Ephesians 4:7-16What will be required of the Body of Christ if we are to offer a compelling understanding of the Church to the world around us and to the generations that are yet to come? This week Pastor James talks about the importance of the Church "sticking to business" in calling followers of Jesus to deeper levels of discipleship and spiritual maturity.

Ephesians 4:1-6How can we restore the image of the Church in our society today? How can we forge a new "ecclesiology" for those outside the Church and for generations yet to come that is compelling and dynamic? The simple answer is "by getting back to the basics of what God's Word tells us about what our identity is to be as His people." Pastor James begins a new series on the Church from Ephesians 4 by talking about one of the key ingredients to any healthy expression of Church - unity.

2 Corinthians 5:13-21Pastor James reminds us of the "why" of mission and then is joined by others from our Guatemala mission team to share about the lessons they have learned concerning God's mission and our part in it.
