Christ and the early Church were known for their inclusion. Today, many refer to Christianity as intolerant. Is there a reason for this? How can we be a church which shows the tolerance and love of God without compromising His righteousness and holiness? [NOTE: Sermon is incomplete. Recording was interrupted by a lightning storm.

The first half of this audio is a description of what is on the new web site. You may want to skip over it. The second half is a message on the DNA of the Church and how LifeQuest is incorporating it.

Guest speaker Danny Schaffner offers a challenging message on compassion, both individually and corporately as the Church

If people are going to find a God in whom they can trust, they must first find the Church, His representation in their world, as a place they can trust. How do we become a place people outside of our community of faith can trust?

In a culture that struggles with Trust, the idea of trusting a God we can't see and often don't understand becomes a huge issue in developing a relationship with Him.

Trust is the cornerstone of relationship and faith. Without it, we cannot engage others or God in intimate relationship. Yet many find it difficult to place their trust in anything or anyone. Why, and how can we help change this?

Christ challenges us to see the struggles of those around us. What are those struggles? How should they affect us? What are we supposed to do? These are some of the questions we will explore in the introduction to our new series.

Message by Danny Schaffner

Jesus closes out his time with his disciples with a prayer, a prayer for them and for us. Then he leaves to go to the garden. What did he pray, and what does it mean to us?

One of the greatest promises Jesus makes to his disciples is the guidance and indwelling presence of the Holy Spirit, of the Spirit of Christ. What did this mean to them, and what does it mean to us?
