"Honor your father and mother." Raise your kids "in the discipline and instruction of the Lord." While these verses are in many ways clear to understand, they are also complex and challenging to live out in everyday life. We need the truths of the gospel and the empowering of the Spirit to live into God's design for parents and children. In this teaching, we explore what it looks like to be a Spirit dependent people who live out repentance and faith as parents and children.

Marriage matters for everyone. Marriage is God's idea and is a beautiful gift that ultimately points to Christ' love for the church. In this teaching we explore what marriage is, what marriage looks like and what marriage is ultimately about.

Formation in the way of Jesus must be stronger than the formation of the world. This is what Ephesians 5:11-21 is all about.

In this teaching we explore what it looks like to be formed in the way of Jesus.

We are moral beings in a moral universe. Everyone of us lives by some sort of ethical system the only question is which one. In this teaching we explore how the gospel informs our ethics and how out of love for God, we live for God.

In Christ there is a whole new way to be human but living as a new human is not automatic. Discipleship to Jesus means we must learn what it means to put off the old way and put on the new.

What keeps us from maturity and growth? How might we become more mature in our discipleship to Jesus. While it is easy to remain immature, maturity in Christ is a process of continual trust and reliance on the grace of Christ. In this teaching we explore what often prevents us from maturity and how we might grow in maturity in Christ.

The church must be a place of relational beauty and that requires something of you. While healthy doctrine is of vital importance, our doctrine must inform and transform the way we relate to one another. Starting in Ephesians 4, Paul takes the beauty of gospel doctrine and begins to apply it to the ways Christians are meant to practically live out the beauty of the gospel. In this sermon we explore the call to be a people who embody relational beauty and why that matters.

We sing, we read, we talk about God's love often, and rightly so. But why is it often difficult to truly believe God loves me; not some future or curated version of me? In Ephesians 3, we explore Paul's prayer that God’s people will grow in believing and receiving God's love.

Everyone has a story and everyone is still writing their story. In Ephesians 3 we see how Paul knows his own story, knows God's story and knows what it means to live in God's story. The question becomes, whose story are you living in? It is only when we get caught up in God's larger story do we live lives of meaning, intentionality and purpose. Because the story you live will be the story you live out.
