Given what we know historically about the brutality, humiliation & scandal surrounding crucifixion, it seems strange that the very heart  of Christianity is the crucified Christ. In over 2000 years, no death has quite captured our attention like the crucifixion of Jesus. But what does it all mean? We kick off our Lenten series by looking at the scandal of the Cross.

As our church begins to gather more freely and frequently as the restrictions from the pandemic ease, how can we make a greater kingdom impact? Two keys are suggested in this message: deeper relationships and practical ministry.

In part 3 of our sermon series on Mental & Emotional Health we look at how our past has profoundly shaped our present (for good and bad), but it does not have to determine our future. God invites us to rewrite our story that aligns more with his redemptive truth and grace made available to us through Jesus.

In part two of our annual sermon series on mental and emotional health we look at how the broken story that we view others and the world with causes us emotional pain. The inner story in childhood that once helped us, now hinders. But there is hope as we move towards a truer story based on the reality of God’s world and Christ’s work – yes a world with brokenness – but also one of redemption and hope!

Each year we do a sermon series specifically focusing on mental health. This year our theme is “My Story.” To grow emotionally and spiritually we must see, own and then allow God to rewrite our story.

Jesus said that if we abide in Him we will bear much fruit. But what does it mean to live a fruitful life? And what does it look like practically to abide in the vine? In this message we look at four types of fruit and three postures we need to take to produce the life we all are looking for – not to mention – the life God wants for us!

Jesus’ words, “The truth will set you free” are popular and quoted today from presidential speeches, movies, university mottos to parents desperate to get their kids to confess! But what did Jesus mean by this phrase? In this message, we look at how Jesus both challenges and fulfills our modern desire for Truth & Freedom.

In this message we look the impact of seeing and experiencing Jesus as the bread of life. This bread is both the word and work of God which leads us to discover for ourselves what it practically looks like in every day life.

“Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever hears my word and believes him who sent me has eternal life.” A bold statement by Jesus for sure! In this first message in our ABIDE series, we look at the life Jesus offers us and  what we must do to obtain it.
