In the 4th week of our Life of the Party series, Pastor Brian referenced the story of the Prodigal Son and how the metaphor of a party is the perfect way to describe salvation. He showed us that salvation is so much more than we normally think of it, it has 4 aspects to it - it can be physical, experiential, communal, and individual.

In week 3 of our Life of the Party series, Pastor Brian talked about how Jesus was invited to parties with all different kinds of people. He was the kind of person unchurched people loved and wanted to be around. He was kind and gracious. He asked good questions and didn’t put off judgmental vibes. They could tell he really cared about them and wanted the best for them. Lost people loved hanging out with Jesus. We were challenged to make space in our lives for these kinds of relationships and to love people just as Jesus did.

In Week 2 of our Life of the Party series, Pastor Anthony shows us how important parties are to Jesus and how prevalent they are in the Bible. When we step into a full life in Christ and reflect His glory we become the Life of the Party!

In the first week of our Life of the Party series, Pastor Brian encouraged us that the "New Wine" Jesus brought through his death, life, and resurrection is not simply giving us a better or improved version of our old self, but he offers us something entirely new - a life filled with the Holy Spirit and promise of eternity with Him.

In the final teaching of our Savage Series, Jordan reminds us that the most Savage thing Jesus has done for us was to be the ultimate sacrifice. He gave His life for us without expectation of receiving anything in return, all the while we were rejecting, insulting, and hating him. We are challenged to be sacrificial in our own lives asking ourselves "What is Jesus asking us to give up for another's gain?"

On Sunday, Pastor Anthony reminded us that Jesus is more than just our Savage Savior. When he returns he will come back as the Savage Judge, powerful in his defense of those committed to Him, and yet true to the promise that he will also bring justice and judgment for those that rejected Him.

In the 5th week of our Savage series Pastor Brian spoke on how Jesus brought a savage power even over nature. He walked on water, turned 5 loaves and 2 fish into food for thousands, and calmed a raging storm by telling it to be still. We should stand in awe of his dominion over creation and praise Him for his power in our lives to bring us peace, calm our fears, and to be bold in our prayers every single day.

Pastor Edgar challenged us to live a life of passion surrendered to the truth of God's love. He spoke on how being consumed by the pitfalls of Dead Religion can cause us to be "church smart" all the while becoming "Jesus Stupid". When we are too focused on appearances and the rules, we compromise the truth, but when we commit to an authentic walk with Him, we can then live with an eternal perspective and experience what matters most.

On Sunday Pastor Brian brought a convicting message reminding us that our ultimate and primary loyalty in this life should be to Jesus. Jesus demands our loyalty out of his worthiness, but He also rewards our loyalty with the promise of an incredible life on the other side of the grave because of his grace.

In week 2 of our Savage Series Pastor Roger took us through the how Jesus has the authority to heal and forgive so that you can experience a holistic transformation.
