Real Life Church

On this Sunday, our whole church, including our kids, joined together for FAMILY SUNDAY, where Pastor Steve continued our series, A Thrill of HOPE.

Our HOPE Series continues, talking about The Poop Truck. Yes, the POOP truck!

The poop truck represents things that we didn't ask for, things we didn't expect. But HOPE knows how to diagnose what's happening, and it knows how to see a brighter future.

In part 1 of our HOPE Series, Pastor Steve talks about what happens when people lose hope, and how we can ignite hope in and through our lives.

In the final message from our MAKE ROOM Series, Pastor Taylor talks about how Jesus came both to save AND seek the lost, and how we often want to see people saved, while being unwilling to seek. God has called us as a community to seek the lost.

In part 7 of MAKE ROOM, Pastor Ed Holmes talks about how we can make room in our lives for generosity - in common ways. What may feel common to us is something that could bless someone else. But in order to do this, we must first overcome the "Disease of ME."

In week 6 of our MAKE ROOM Series, Pastor Steve talks about how our gifts (resources, talents, knowledge, etc) will make room for others.

In this part of our MAKE ROOM Series, Pastor Steve talks about how we want to be the kind of community that makes room.

In Part 4 of MAKE ROOM, we explored what it looks like to make room in our theology. Our eye often goes to imperfections, shortcomings, what's wrong - both with ourselves and with others. Our tendency is to superimpose our beliefs and understandings onto others, not allowing them to have their own process of discovery. While all of our beliefs matter and are important, the most important is that it produces the fruit of the Spirit (love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness & self-control).

In part 3 of MAKE ROOM, Pastor Steve talks about how our greatest moments, opportunities and God-moments often comes as a result of an interruption. We can choose to let them be irritations or opportunities!

In part 2 of MAKE ROOM, Pastor Steve explores what it means to have a Kingdom approach to the "others" in our lives and in our world. The "Other" might be someone who looks or acts different than you, or someone whose beliefs or lifestyle are in opposition of yours. God has called us to sift through the clutter and find common ground with people.
