Kelly Romoser & Emma Youchoff lead us in worship | Pastor Lindsey introduces her father as he tells his story about fatherhood and faith

"Paul tells us to 'take captive every thought and submit it to Christ.' That means we take captive and submit the way we think about something even as seemingly abstract as time. Unsurprisingly, Jesus can use this too in order to form us in our discipleship to him."

With humankind's choice in the garden to reject God's will for them to live according to his design and purpose for them, the two most important requirements for Life in the Kingdom of God were lost. Pastor Dave discussed what those are, how Jesus makes those available and why it matters more than we may think.

Understanding how to live in harmony with creation as a part of God's desire for the flourishing and wholeness of the world that is understood as "shalom", is essential for the accomplishment of God's purposes and has everything to do with how we see our role in the world beyond Sunday and into Monday

In Genesis 2, after having made a declaration that all creation was "tov me'od" (very good), God makes makes an unusual, yet critical, observation about humankind

As we look back to the garden to understand God's design in creation, we learn that what God declared as "good" was much more profound than we had imagined

Pastor Lindsey talks with Shelly Romoser and Kelly Caringer Romoser about learning and living the joy and beauty of motherhood

"Shalom" was how the Hebrew people and prophets described what God wanted and where the human story was headed. What that looks like in the garden, then, is the much needed lens to understand how to live in "new creation" now

To understand God's intent for life now, in the "already here but not yet fully realized" reality of "new creation", you have to understand what his design and intention has been from the very beginning

Pastor Dave begins a new series designed to help us understand what it means to live in the "new creation" that is set in motion with the resurrection of Jesus
