TOV is hebrew for 'good'. The theme of actively doing ‘tov’ (doing good) runs throughout the Bible. We’re to have the good fruit of God and His goodness reproducing itself from within us…as we follow after Jesus - he’s reproducing himself within us and impacting others through us. The gospel is about God’s tov coming to us in Jesus, who is tov, and thus making us into agents of tov.

Jesus calls us all to relationship with Him in different ways. We look at four different statements Jesus makes to His followers at different stages in their journey. As we look forward to 2022, what call do you sense Jesus is giving you?

Tonight we remember the birth of our Savior. It is the greatest gift ever given. It's a gift that comes wrapped in prophecy to prove the validity, wrapped in history and wrapped in a bit of mystery. What's true about any gift is that it only becomes your gift, when you unwrap it for yourself. Jesus came for you, so you might unwrap the beauty of a relationship with him.

As we continue to look into this ‘indescribable’ GIFT of Christmas - not only is Jesus wrapped in prophecy fulfilled, the history of the moment, but he is also wrapped in mystery. The mystery of the incarnation and his mission that takes him from the wooden manger to the wood cross to offer redemption to all who trust in Him. Jesus ultimately and and with clarity is the one who reveals God in all his fullness.

Jesus not only came wrapped in prophecy that was then fulfilled to provide a certainty to our faith. He came wrapped in history - stepping into a precise moment to ensure the gospel was fulfilled, heard and able to spread. Part of the power of God is the precision of God’s activity. Part of HIs sovereignty is his divine punctuality. At the right time, God provides, rescues and intervenes. Look closely and I bet you can see his perfect timing across the landscape of your life as well.

As we shop, look up, seek out or ask for gifts in this season of the year -- let's do ourselves a favor and REMEMBER the GIFT of the Savior we were given that first Christmas! A gift wrapped like none expected or delivered like any thought, but wrapped in prophecy that delivers a foundational certainty to our faith.

As we close out our series, The Stories of Jesus, we look at the Parable of the Wicked Tenants. By following the narrative flow of Mark 11:12 through Mark 12:44, a clear picture develops of the type of worship God wants from His people. No longer do the people of God need access to any buildings to experience His presence; they just need to come to Jesus.

The parable of the ‘friend at midnight’ is a parable about prayer. The how of prayer & the why of prayer. We’re to have a rhythm of asking, seeking and knocking as we pray and engage with God. We’re to persist in prayer because of this truth: God is continually good, permanently interested, and forever for your best. He’s available and He’s able.

In week two of our latest series, The Stories of Jesus, we look at the parable of the talents. What kind of attitude must we have if we are to be found as faithful followers of Jesus? And how can we develop a heart to use what God has given to us to build His Kingdom in our personal areas of influence?In week two of our latest series, The Stories of Jesus, we look at the parable of the talents.

As we begin a new series, The Stories of Jesus, we look at The Parable of the Two Sons. Followers of Jesus quickly understand God desires our obedience to His commands, so what is it that prevents many believers from being obedient? In this message we consider how our minds are wired and quickly look at practical ways to renew our minds in order to grow in obedience.
