In this first session, Pastor Tim reminds us of the importance of repentance and how the stigma in today's world has tarnished the true meaning.

Jesus is our rescuer and despite our best efforts, we can't rescue ourselves.

This Sunday our NextGen Pastor, Jack Gilbert, shares with us the JOY of knowing that He will always rescue us if we are willing to turn to Him.

We know joy through our relationship with Jesus Christ. We experience the joy of KNOWING Him and what He has done for us. We also have opportunity to experience the joy of GOING and sharing with others what He has done for us and that they too can experience the "great joy" He desires to share with them.

He is RISEN!! On this joy-filled day Pastor Tim reminds us of the "great joy" we have access to and that knowing and following Jesus, our "great joy" will never dwindle or fade -- for He is alive and will endure forever!

In Matthew, chapter 16, Jesus says, “If any of you wants to be my follower, you must give up your own way, take up your cross, and follow me." (NLT)

How are you following Jesus? Are you following "your way" as Simon Peter tried earlier in Matthew 16, or are you intently focused on following Jesus in the example that He set before us?

Reconciliation with others can be more challenging -- especially if they don't look, think, or act like we do (or like). But, unity is the goal and at the foot of the cross is where reconciliation begins.

In this first session, Pastor Tim emphasizes the importance of going back to the basics of our faith and reminding us what the cross represents for each and every one of us.

Ephesians 5, verses 22-28, has some of the more controversial passages in scripture on marriage, specifically because of the misunderstanding and misuse of how wives and husbands should act towards one another.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim tackles this very passage reminding us that all other relationships grow out of how we treat our spouse.

Relational traps are positioned for us all throughout our lives. Often we are able to break free through God's Word, prayer, or worship. But sometimes we get stuck where we are and find ourselves isolated from others, or we have built up justification for our actions based on human inputs and not the word of God.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim discusses with us on these specific situations and how each of us can rescue others caught in the trap.

Conflict is everywhere in life and how we as Christ-followers handle those difficult situations either brings us closer in relationship, or pushes us farther apart.

This Sunday, Pastor Tim focuses on the difficult "one anothers" encouraging us to seek out those who we are at odds with and repair / mend the brokenness.
