Many Christians feel the weight of accurately portraying God to others. This sense of responsibility is also seen in what we approve or disapprove of. Pastor Andy emphasizes how our influence to affirm image is strongest when we are living in step with the Holy Spirit and sharing the Gospel not judging the world.

The Bible teaches that we are to show the image of God, but often we see other images in ourself or other people. Like a carnival mirror or an APP that shows us a warped image, we see something much different than God when we try to mirror the images of this world. Pastor Andy helps us identify and avoid false images.

In this opening message of the series, Image of God, we focus on the significance of what it means that people are in God’s image compared to something else being the image of God.

When facing change, the tension within us can be so strong that it pushes and pulls us away from God and others. Pastor Andy gives insight to how Scripture and the Holy Spirit moves us from a place of being anxious to being restful with Jesus.

In this second message about 'Knowing and Doing God's Will', Ethan Lovelace shares how the cycle of knowing and doing work together, but it's in doing God's will that we experience real joy in our faith.

Ethan Lovelace encourages us to connect what we know with how we live.

For thousands of years, Christians have been regarded as a ‘peculiar’ people because of their high value for life and yet holding to the belief that this life as we know it is only temporary. At the center of this value is the belief in and conviction for living in light of the resurrection. Pastor Andy points us to the resurrection of Jesus as the pathway to living freely and lightly with a high value for life.

In this Good Friday message, Pastor Andy Lovelace describes how Jesus’ death upon the cross was a powerful act that broke the stronghold that sin held on humanity. No longer captive to sin, we join Him in overcoming sin’s destructive work in the lives of others.

The saying, “There is strength in numbers,” communicates the ideas that common ideas, thoughts, and even group presence can have a powerful influence. There are ways in which this is helpful, but can also keep us from living fulling as God desires.

As a new creation in Christ, we are given the privilege of speaking life to those around us. Pastor Andy Lovelace invites us to change our old way of speaking about people and things, and instead of corrupt thinking and talking, we build others up.
