The last 2 years haven’t been how anyone would have really planned them, but God is still God! He still keeps promises, He still has plans for you and He still wants a better relationship with you. As we begin 2022, let's hope and expect something more from God. And a great way to do that is to put first things first. In today's message, we will look at the secrets to being successful putting prayer first this year.

As we come to the end of 2021, most of us will begin to think about how it went and how next year will be.  In this message, we will be challenged to think and pray about what we take with us into next year and what we want it to look like.

In this message, we will take a look at the Christmas story to rediscover the thrill of hope that it truly brings.

As Jesus is delivering this counter cultural way to live in His kingdom he just keeps dropping bombs. I wonder if anyone was like, can we get a break here Jesus, how about something easy? There are points where what Jesus is saying seems too hard or even impossible. We will all be tempted to point at others and say, they aren't doing all this, but then Jesus would probably smile at us and say, that's ok for them, but what do we do?

Most of us eat too much at Thanksgiving. We convince ourselves that we will eat better the next day, we will go to the gym or whatever we need to say to let us grab one more piece of pie, turkey, etc. Our excuses feel good, until we realize that our waist size has changed. Then we are faced with a decision, do we make size adjustments or life adjustments. In the sermon on the mount, Jesus presents us with a similar decision. Will we adjust what He says to fit our lives or will we adjust our lives to fit what He is saying.

When Jesus gave us an invitation to His kingdom, He also gave us a new way to live. In this message, Pastor Alex looks at the counter cultural way we are supposed to navigate our anger.

Last week, we started our sermon on the mount series and quickly discovered that this sermon would change everything. It changed everything for the people that heard it then and those of us that hear it now. Jesus gave us a new way not just to think, but to live. A counter cultural guide to kingdom living. In today’s message, Pastor Kevin looks at verses 4 and 5 and talks about how Jesus is offering to change our stories.

 Over the next month we are going to look at the sermon of all sermons. The sermon on the mount. It will serve as our counter cultural guide to kingdom living. In his most famous sermon he unveils what the kingdom really looks like. Jesus so beautifully turns righteousness and the kingdom of God upside down. The religious leaders at the time emphasized the external things, but Jesus emphasizes the internal things that spill over to the external things. He spoke with confidence, conviction, clarity and an authority that the religious leaders didn’t have. He challenged traditions, he cherished people and he called unlikely people to be a part of a new kingdom. In fact, He is still calling unlikely people to it today.  In this message, we will see who actually inherits the keys to the kingdom (it's not who culture thinks).

This week in our Neighbors & Nations series, we have US missionary, Andy Estrella. He has given the last 14 years of his life to reaching college students at Missouri State University. In this message, we will hear stories of life change on the campus and be invited to take part in God's mission to reach the world around us.

Social media has made it so easy to follow other people. With a click we can see what they are doing, where they are going, things they like, etc. If we get disinterested, we can simply unfollow them. This very passive way of following others has, at times, influenced what following Jesus looks like. If we are to be a disciple, we have to know what following looks like. In this message, Pastor David takes us back to the first invitation to rediscover what following looks like.
