February 04, 2018 Love Is Foolishness
Pastor Sean Palmer considered what the story of the paralyzed man and the
film Lars And The Real Girl have to teach us about the demands of love, and
how communities are called to carry the lost and hurting by way of loving
acts that may seem radical, or even foolish, to the world.

January 29, 2018 It Has To Be Something
Pastor Sean Palmer closed our series in Nehemiah with a challenging message
of the nature and purpose of worship. We are designed to orient our lives
around worship; but if we choose not to worship God, we will either worship
ourselves, or idols that will inevitably devour us.

January 22, 2018 Lead Like Nehemiah
Pastor Chris Seay continued our series in Nehemiah, considering the various
ways he modeled leadership, and how we are a people called into rhythms of
curiosity, hospitality, focus, and celebration.

January 16, 2018 A Wall Is Just a Wall
This week, Pastor Sean Palmer follows last week's message by defining what
is a wall in our lives. As we examine Nehemiah's story of faithfulness and
continue to build our wall, we learn from Nehemiah the need to discover the
why.

January 08, 2018 Stay On The Wall
Pastor Chris Seay continued our series in Nehemiah; considering his story
of faithfulness, focus, and leadership in the face of discouragement and
conflict. God is calling us to vital and transformative work, individually
and collectively, and we cannot allow ourselves to be distracted from that
command.

January 01, 2018 Remaking Reality
Pastor Sean Palmer continues our engagement with the story of Nehemiah;
asking us to consider our goals for the "new year", WHY we make
resolutions, and what we can expect as we seek to faithfully follow God's
will in the months to come.

December 18, 2017 Advent Four: We Live In Herod's World
Pastor Chris Seay prepared us for the final week of Advent with a message
on the kingdoms vying for our hearts; those consumed with wealth, power,
and influence, and that of our true King. Living in a world of "Herods",
are we prepared to pledge full allegiance to Christ, knowing that he comes
to upend a great deal in our hearts and lives?

December 11, 2017 Advent Three: Enter The Story
Pastor Chris Seay shares a message from Pucallpa, Peru; just one of the
many communities with whom we've been called to partner in this Advent
season. As we consider the many stories of those in need, will we enter
into them with genuine empathy; truly feeling the burdens that we are
called to join God in lifting?
29 min
December 04, 2017 Advent Two: Serpent In The Garden
Teaching Pastor Sean Palmer continued our teaching in this sacred season,
offering a message on hope in the midst of darkness; the seemingly
improbable triumph of our infant savior standing against the "dragons" of a
broken world.
27 min
November 27, 2017 Advent One: Allow Me To Reintroduce You To Jesus
As we look toward the Advent season, Pastor Chris Seay shares the stories
of obedience lived by Mary, Joseph, and the Magi; risking greatly as they
embraced God's calling upon their lives. In this "new year", in the season
that lies ahead, we must ask ourselves if we are willing to meet Jesus anew
and obediently proclaim as Mary did, "Here I am, God's humble servant."
