Statistically, you or someone you know has experienced depression and anxiety at some point in their life. This is a massive issue in our world today and Christians are not immune to experiencing it in their lives! So, what does the Bible say about it? In this new series, we explore the life of a man in the Bible that experienced depression, but also experienced God caring and comforting him in a powerful way! God knows what you’re going through, and He loves you!

Every commitment in life has a cost, and Jesus asks us to count the cost of following Him. Today, we get to hear powerful stories of people that have counted the cost to leave behind their old life and say, “I have decided to follow Jesus,” as they are water baptized!

Jesus is the best news the world has ever heard! And every one of us needs to do our part, even if it’s not comfortable or easy.

In this message, we'll look at the importance of the individual when it comes to sharing our faith in a local context. Because we all have a part to play. And we all need God's help to do it.

The early church spread the news of Jesus’ love, not with theology and good preaching, but how they served others around them with selfless living. How could we affect our neighbors, coworkers, and community today by living a selfless life?

Have you ever wondered how others experience God in a powerful way and have lasting life change? Someone in our church family shares their journey of healing in their life that started with the pursuit of God. If we want to experience God, we need to take a step toward the beautiful relationship with Him that He intended for us to have!

Sin is seldom talked about in today’s culture and yet it has the power to destroy your life. The good news is God can heal and restore what is broken because of His love for us! Listen as we hear from someone in our church family share how their life was destroyed by sin, but redeemed by the love and grace of God!

Have you ever quit something, but later came back and succeeded? At the end of Colossians we see a relationship that was once torn by differences, but is now restored! In the same way, God never gives up on us no matter how many times we quit or fail!

What should the household look like as a Christian family? We see that it is based a lot less on "who does what" in the house. And it is based a lot more on "Who" we do it for. Everything we do should be marked by love and self-sacrifice as we try to live the way Jesus did. As we do everything as if we are doing it for God.

Paul continues his letter to the church in Colossae by shifting from, “What Christ has done for us,” to “What we should do” in response. We are challenged to take off the old life and put on the new life that God intends for us to have!

A couple from our church share their story of following God and how that lead to their journey into full time missions. They challenge us to do the same asking, “how much of God do you want in your life?”
