Why do Christians worship? This sermon teaches that true worship is not about religious systems, traditions, or outward actions but about becoming the kind of people who worship the Father "in Spirit and in truth." True worship begins with God's pursuit of us, is led by the Holy Spirit and grounded in the truth of Christ and Scripture, and ultimately reveals Jesus in a way that transforms both individual lives and the world around us.

This week our service is a discussion style gathering where we talk about how to engage with Scripture and turn the words we read into prayers for our life.

Next time you read the Bible, consider these questions:

• What did God reveal to you?  
• What did you learn? 
• What has God done in this passage? 
• What is God inviting you into? 

Then, turn God's invitation into a prayer request.

Why do Christians gather together in church? This week Pastor Josh preaches on how the Church is an essential part of God's design for the Christian life. Through the biblical images of the household of God, the body of Christ, and the temple of the Holy Spirit, we see that God uses the Church to give believers family, purpose, and His presence, equipping them to grow in faith together and embody Christ's love in the world.

This week Pastor Josh starts a new series talking about the importance of key things in the Christian faith; and he kicks off the series with the importance of Scripture. The Bible is the Word of God- it instructs, reveals, testifies and invites.

Pastor Blake joins us this week to wrap up our Parables series with a sermon on The Prodigal Son. We learn a new way to look at this story and how the lavish love of Jesus will never stop chasing us down. Look up The Prodigal Son by Kelly Latimore to join us in Lectio Visio at the end of the message.

Pastor Josh closes our parables series with a sermon on the parable of the Wedding Fest. This sermon is a reminder of God's persistent invitation to all of us, and a call to wake up and respond to the Gospel with full participation. 

This week Pastor Josh teaches that forgiveness is not about trying harder to be more merciful, but about entering the new life of Christ where, having faced both our own sin and our wounds, we receive God’s undeserved mercy and extend that same mercy to others through the example of the crucified Jesus.

This week Pastor Jordan joins us and preaches on the Parable of the Ten Virgins. We learn that everything Jesus does is to call us closer into relationship with him. An expectant relationship with Him that produces enduring spiritual readiness through intimacy, dependence, and perseverance in the wait for His return.

This sermon teaches that the kingdom of God grows through deep, hidden roots of intimacy with Jesus. This is an intimacy formed over time through endurance and uprooting rival loves, that ultimately produces lasting spiritual fruit both inwardly and outwardly.

This week Elly preaches on how the kingdom of heaven is the greatest treasure we can find, worth surrendering every lesser pursuit because true wealth is found not in accumulation or balance, but in being rich in God, relationships, and purpose through wholehearted devotion to Christ.
