Throughout the life of an individual, business, or even a church, defining moments occur. The big question is not if they arise; rather, what will the response be? One of the best attributes of belonging to the family of God is that when these moments come, we have a God that goes before us! For week 1 of We Are the Church, we see how to navigate the defining moment we find ourselves in at this current moment.

Ever heard the phrase, “it’s just water under the bridge” or “water off a duck’s back?” It’s pretty good advice on smaller qualms… but does it apply to recurring patterns or “bigger” issues? While the church is a place founded on grace and love, is there a line when people are out-of-line or over-the-line?

Everybody reports to somebody. Throughout life, we all have some type of authority over us. From parents over children to bosses at our jobs to laws over our nation, avoiding authority is impossible.

In 2006, a movie called Failure to Launch was released and centered around grown men who were still living at home - who “failed to launch.” As we continue our study through 1 Corinthians, we see that we, too, sometimes fail to grow up and launch our faith. Let’s dig in together to discern how to have faith that continues to grow and thrive!

Do you know the most popular ice cream flavor in the world? Vanilla! Now, that might not be your favorite flavor - but the ease and simplicity is what raises it to the top. As a church and disciples, the same goes for our foundation message for all - The Gospel. Join us for week 3 of Truth North in discovering the power of the (simple) Gospel.

There’s a difference between knowledge and wisdom. One is about information, and the other is about actually putting it into practice - which also applies to our spiritual lives. In week two of True North, we see how we get stuck turning our right thinking into right living.

Everyone’s got one and they shape a lot of who we are! And no, we’re not talking about opinions - rather, our worldview. The combination of our context, beliefs, and actions come together to be the true north of our lives. As we kick-off our study through 1 Corinthians, we see the importance of a Christ-centered worldview.

What is the number one idol of people, the most likely cause of stress in a marriage, and the thing that Jesus talked about most in the Bible? Finances.
