  • The Lie That Broke Everything:

    Made: Recovering The Life You Were Designed For

    Sermon: The Lie That Broke Everything:

    Genesis 3


    When someone asks you to tell them about yourself, where do you begin?


    Most of us start with what we do, our relationships, or what we've accomplished. And there's nothing wrong with that. But what happens when those things change? When we lose a job, a relationship falls apart, or we make a decision we deeply regret?


    If our identity is built on things that can change, what happens to our understanding of ourselves when they do?


    That brings us to the question we explored on Sunday:

    Who gets to tell you who you are?

  • In The Beginning

    Made: Recovering The Life You Were Designed For

    Sermon: In The Beginning
    Genesis 1:1-31, 2:1-3

    We spend much of our lives trying to answer the question, “What am I supposed to do with my life?” We search for purpose in our work, our accomplishments, our relationships, and even in what we do for God. But Genesis takes us further back.

    Before it tells us what humanity is called to do, it shows us what humanity was created to receive.

    God forms the world and fills it with life. He prepares a place where humanity can flourish, and only then do we enter the story. Before we accomplish anything, we are blessed. Before we prove ourselves, God gives us a place. Before we do anything for God, we are invited to be with God.

    This is where Genesis 1–2 reaches its relational climax. Creation does not culminate in a finished world, but in God dwelling with the people He has made. Humanity’s first full day is the seventh day, the day God rests and settles into His creation. Creation's destination is communion: God with humanity and humanity with God. Our first experience of being human is not achievement, productivity, or proving our worth. It is presence.

    Sin fractures that communion. Humanity reaches for life apart from the One who gave it, and the people created for God’s presence begin hiding from Him. Yet God does not abandon His creation. The story of Scripture is the story of God continually moving toward us until, in Jesus, the Creator Himself steps into the world He made. God comes into our brokenness to bring us home to the life we were created for.


    Maybe purpose begins there. Not with asking, “What am I supposed to accomplish for God?” but with asking, “Am I learning to live my life with God?”

    Because the deepest purpose of your life is not something you have to discover, achieve, or earn. Before you ever did anything for God, you were made for life with God.

  • Jesus Had Feelings Too

    MARK 1:39-42, JOHN 11:31-36, JOHN 2:13-17, LUKE 22:39-44

    Pastor Chris Inkpen:

    "God created emotions. He created our ability to feel Joy, Grief, Sadness, Excitement, Anger, Peace, and Compassion. These emotions and feelings are not random, they are part of Being made in His Image, a part of being made Human.

    Having emotions doesn’t make us Weak, Faithless, or less Spiritual, It makes us as God Intended…

    We need to remember that emotions are Indicators not Leaders."
