Ken's new series will help us see the importance of living for Jesus, like how we put our giftedness into practice. This first Essential is to Love God and Love People, Whatever it takes!

In this Easter Sunday message of April 21, 2019, Ken discusses how the resurrection changed the cross from tragedy to triumph, changed doubts to facts, and changed fear to faith.

Ken looks at the Palm Sunday passage from Matthew 21:1-11 and talks about how we view the Word of God, how we view worship, and how Easter changes the way we respond to God.

Ken talks about Spiritual Gifts - our source, authority, and results, from 1 Corinthians 12:1-6. The Holy Spirit actively works through God's people to do the work that he has called us to accomplish.

Ken talks about the two essentials for community, which are togetherness and preparedness, from Ephesians 4:1-12.

Ken talks about why each church member is essential to the body of Christ, from Romans 1:11-12 and Romans 12:3-8. At the end of the message, Ken leads the congregation through a time of spiritual gift exploration.

Pursuing God is an extremely important part of life, but we can't remain there. Our pursuit of God leads us to embrace God's plan and purpose for the world, and for us.
