Have you ever considered the true purpose of religion? This marks the first message of our "Death to Religion" series. In this message, Jim explores humanity's early rebellions and how these events, while disruptive, could not thwart God's ultimate plan. This message reveals the role of religion as a temporary measure before Jesus's coming. It emphasizes Jesus's mission, which goes beyond teaching or healing, focusing on his death and resurrection as a sacrifice for our sins. This act wasn't just for forgiveness but to transform hearts and minds, uniting us under a new kingdom. Discover how Jesus's life, death, and resurrection offer us a way to true relationship with God, replacing religious practice with deep, meaningful connection.

Sabbath | ALIVE | Week 6

How can we really grow strong in our faith? In our latest message, inspired by the survival show "Alone," Ben Foote talks about the importance of spiritual tools. He explains that worship is more than just singing songs; it's really about listening to God every day and doing what He asks. Just like an axe is crucial in a survival situation for building and staying warm, worship is just as important in our spiritual lives. It helps us stay close to Jesus and makes our faith strong, so we can truly thrive as followers of God.

What Is Worship? | ALIVE | Week 5

How important is prayer when we're trying to live a good life following Jesus? In our fourth week of our "ALIVE" series, Jim talks about prayer as if it's a radio that lets us talk and listen to God. He explains that prayer isn't just about asking for things; it's more about having a real conversation with God that helps us grow closer to Him. Jim says that prayer helps us line up our wants with what God wants, which changes us on the inside more than it changes the things around us. He reminds us that to really live well, we need to pray every day, like keeping in touch with a friend and also rely on God’s Spirit and His words in the Bible to guide us.
