In this new teaching series, we revisit some of the “family traits” that define us as a church. This week, we unpack our value of Truth and unpack what it means to be a church that trusts and treasures the Bible.

Just as God has shown love for us in Jesus Christ, we are to show love to one another.

Pastor Chris delivers a Christmas message from Luke 2.

At the first Christmas, Jesus came to undo the damage of the problem of sin and restore us to the good reality God created us for.

To understand the good news of hope that Christmas brings, we need to understand the truth about who Jesus is and why Christmas matters. In this week's teaching, Scott Wilson walks through various Scriptures to show us how the true story of Christmas is better and more beautiful than we could ever imagine.

In this week's teaching, Pastor Chris launches the Advent sermon series Hope Is Here on how the good news of Christmas satisfies the deepest longings of the human soul.

Kingdoms and Temples reflect what we value. What are our personal and cultural values? Can the promises our kingdoms and temples make ever be fulfilled? In Mark 13 Jesus shows us His true kingdom and temple, and His is far greater than what any of our man made values could ever promise us.

Mark 13:1-13, 24-27

In Mark 12:35-44, we take a turn in the biblical text. Up until this point in Mark 12, Jesus has been responding to His critics’ attacks. This time, He goes on the offensive, teaching everyone what it means to have true and meaningful life-giving devotion to Him.

Mark 12:35-44

As Christ inches closer to the cross, His critics start to turn up the heat. They continue to challenge His teachings and His authority. In Mark 12:13-34, three different groups pepper Him on three hot topics: politics, resurrection, and morality. Jesus’ response confronts their assumptions (and ours) and has deep implications for what it means to know and follow Him today.

Mark 12:13-34

Pastor Chris continues our series through the Gospel of Mark. While Jesus is the most popular man in history, he is also the most rejected and resisted. Why is that? In the last week of His life before the cross, a group of leaders who rejected Jesus confront Him about who He is and where His authority comes from. Jesus responds with what is the last parable recorded in Mark—a story that gets to the heart of why we reject Him at all.

Mark 11:27-12:12
