Sometimes we don’t recognize the importance of a moment until it has passed us by. However, through the act of remembering and reflecting, hindsight can bless us with understanding of God’s work throughout our story.

When life hurts most, the resurrection reminds us that the story doesn't have to b over. His victory over the grave reminds us that, even in hopeless moments, God can still reach into the story and work holy out of the hard.

Guest Speaker, Teresa Roberts, is a professor of children's ministry at Ozark Christian College. In this message, she shares the importance of discipling children in the church, and helps direct our mindset to see them not only as the future of the church, but the present of the church.

Life is filled with important things that we hold near and dear: a dream, a relationship, an identity, a vice, a plan. But what happens when clinging to these things drags us beneath the waves of life storms? While letting go can be painful, it can also be the very thing that saves us and sets us free for something God wants to work in us and through us. Join us for part two of our series, "Holy Moments".

Obeying God is good, but it is also hard. Sometimes we struggle to follow God's leading, but these challenging moments can also become powerful moments in our story if we have the faith to take the next step and obedience. Join us as we kick off a new sermon series called "Holy Moments".

Life is filled with crossroads where the path of obedience comes at a cost. Relationships might suffer. Opportunities might pass us by. Compromise can be very tempting whenever the path appears easy and beneficial, but these moments of testing can prove to be sacred season in our life. Jesus models this for us as he sets our resolutely for Jerusalem in Luke 9:51. The rest of Luke’s Gospel details Jesus’ persistent and obedient march to that city, knowing the cross awaited him. That difficult choice to obey resulted in the wonder of God working in and through him, and the same potential resides in our holy moments, when it is hard to obey. Themes: Obedience, Faith, Trust in God’s purposes and intention to prosper us.

Our world is an incredibly divided place. As the Church, part of our calling is to resist participating in this division, and work towards unity through God’s grace. Join us this Sunday at 9am and 10:30am for the conclusion of our sermon series, “Ephesians: Wonder and Mystery.” 

God has called his Church to a high and lofty mission. We are to represent His goodness and the truth of His gospel on earth. But how are imperfect people like us actually supposed to pull that off? Join us as we explore some practical ways to live out this worthy calling in our lives.
