September 04, 2017 A Love Letter To Houston
We were overwhelmed and grateful to gather together as a family in the
aftermath of the devastating storm that has rocked Houston and our wider
region. Pastor Chris Seay shared a message on our love for this city, how
we face with hope and resilience the trauma we've endured, and the call of

August 21, 2017 Standing Up, Speaking Out: Part One
Pastor Chris Seay continued our series, The Gospel According To C.S. Lewis;
challenging us to combat hatred by making the first step of committing
ourselves in significant and tangible actions to care for abused and
neglected children in our own community and around the world. If we are to
see every child with the eyes of Jesus, as our own, how will we stand
defiantly against the darkness for the sake of generations to come?

August 14, 2017 The Gospel According To C.S. Lewis: The Road To Humble
Pastor Sean Palmer continued our recent series. In a "show-off" culture
where we are prone to project a carefully crafted image of ourselves, prone
to believe we are "better than....", how does Jesus lead us instead into
the kind of humility which aligns our sight with reality? Are the deep
divisions in our culture in part a product of individuals and groups
lashing out over the need to feel significant at the expense of the other?

August 07, 2017 The Gospel According To C.S. Lewis: The Best For Us?
Pastor Sean Palmer continued our ongoing series; teaching from Genesis on
how we truly seek and submit to God's will, the ways that we are prone to
avoid trial and pain by claiming that our will and God's are one in the
same, and an encouragement that God's will may not be as mysterious or far
off as we tend to believe.

July 31, 2017 The Gospel According To C.S. Lewis: Truth, Beauty, & Goodness
Pastor Chris Seay continued our recent series, teaching on the vital place
of beauty within the church and in our lives. Seeking beauty is one of the
core rhythms of Ecclesia; and in seeking, we find that we are surrounded by
the beauty of God's love in creation and in all those who bear his image,
and are drawn ever closer to the heart of Christ.

July 24, 2017 The Gospel According To C.S. Lewis: Demons & The Devil
Pastor Sean Palmer continued our series drawing from scripture and the
unique insight of writer C.S. Lewis to approach the reality of evil. Do we
believe that we live in an enchanted world in which there exist dark forces
at work, and how will we embrace our call to be a vital part of the
"resistance", committed to standing against evil in our midst?

July 17, 2017 The Gospel According To C.S. Lewis: Poetry & Prayer
Our Teaching Pastor, Sean Palmer, continued our recent series with an
important word on prayer; how it brings us into greater alignment with
God's will, why it is often so difficult for us, and how we can embrace the
fullness, simplicity, and mystery of prayer in our longing to hear God's
voice in our lives.

July 10, 2017 The Gospel According To C.S. Lewis: Imagination
Pastor Chris Seay continues our series drawing from Scripture and the
unique insight of writer and theologian C.S. Lewis to teach on the
necessity of imagination as we consider our part in God's story; the kind
of imagination through which we join in the audacity of the prophets, gain
sight for the unseen, rediscover the joy of play, and deepen our love and
capacity for prayer.

July 03, 2017 The Gospel According To C.S. Lewis: The Communion Of Saints
Pastor Chris Seay teaches from Rome following a recent invitation to meet
Pope Francis. Chris asks us to reflect upon the beauty of the teaching,
art, and history we receive from the Catholic Church, and consider how we
can acknowledge our differences without becoming further divided from our
true identity as one united body in Christ.
