As we enter our second year as a church our mission is clear: To Enjoy Jesus, Love People, and Make Disciples. But if we do this and as we do this, what do we hope/pray to see? What picture will we please with God to paint into reality on the canvas of Redemption? As we live out our mission, our vision is this: To see the gospel go deeper into the life of our church and wider into our neighborhoods. (01-08-17)

Resolutions are the norm for New Years, but what about reliance? What if we made it a point to start this year off by truly seeking God and asking Him to lead us, guide us, and motivate us in 2017? (01-01-17)

Peace is something that can seem much more like a dream than a reality. We look around and we see war, hate, conflict, and tension. So, is peace really possible? Yes, real and lasting peace is possible, but it's not found in the right circumstances, it's found in the right savior. (12-18-16)

Jesus came to bring great joy! So why is it that we aren't always joyful? Understanding exactly how this "joy" came about, what Jesus has really offered, and now where we stand with Him if we know Him is so important to understanding joy. (12-11-16)

At this time of year more than any other, we are consumed relationally; thinking about the people in our lives, no longer in our lives, or relationships that have become distant. It's easy to assume we fully understand love; what it is to receive love and offer love, but maybe, just maybe it would be goof to re-think love. And what better place than Matthew 1 and the Father's sending of His son in a lowly way, to a lowly couple, to save a lowly world. (12-04-16)

Hope is something everyone wants and needs. This was just as true thousands of years ago before the first coming of Christ as it is today. Everyone is placing their hope in something, but is it the right thing? Is what you're placing your hope in today able to save you tomorrow? When it comes to God, He has been faithful throughout and all of His promises have been fulfilled, the greatest being the coming of Jesus, our greatest hope. (11-27-16)

In this stand alone sermon we look at gratitude and why it's so important to the Christian life and our discipleship. As those who have been given so much through Jesus, we should be the most thankful and grateful people around. In Luke 17 we see a great example of the type of gratitude we should offer Jesus as those who have been healed. (11-20-16)

Your politics won't save you, your country won't save you, money won't save you, good health won't save you. Why? Because it's Jesus alone that "holds everything together." So if you've been placing your hope in anything and everything other than Him, maybe it's time to come back to the ONE thing, the one person, the one God, that can't be bought, that can't be built, and can't be destroyed. His name, Jesus. This is above all else, is our hope. (11-13-16)

We live in a very fast paced, individualistic city that's growing at a faster rate than ever before. Over 86,000 people moved to Seattle this past year alone. In a city with so many people, knowing others is a given right? The sad reality is deeper relationships and meaningful relationships are much more rare than common. So let's slow down and really know others. (11-06-16)

Why do we pray? How do we pray? And why is it far to easy to forget about prayer in the busyness of our lives? Chances are we talk to many people throughout the course of a day, but how often do we talk to God, and more than that, as a personal Father who loves to speak with His children? (10-30-16)
