The direction, the flow, of culture right now is a flow toward division. Divisiveness. Do you pick up on that? We live in a divided country, divided by labels and preferences and walks of life. But Jesus and the Bible teach unity. But how can we get there? How can we flip the culture script of division to unity and peace? Join us as we open the Bible to Matthew and Corinthians to reset our thinking and become Cruciformed in peace to one another.

Today we look at Jesus' encounter with the Samaritan woman at the well. We're digging deeper so as to not miss the whole story of the gospel in this encounter. Because this text demonstrates that when Jesus reconciles us to God, he also reconciles across every single divide that exists horizontally. Our gender differences, economic differences, our racial, our ethnic, and cultural differences.

When we get reconciled to God, we get reconciled to each other. And both of these things happen in this text. And anything less than this is not the whole gospel.

Today we look at one of the biggest questions we ask as Christ-followers, "How do I know God's will for my life?" This question arises as we make big life decisions. Decisions about school, work, dating, marriage, where to live, what to drive, the list goes on and on. What's God's will for me? How do we find that out? Listen along as we open the Bible and talk about this big life question.

In this series we've been talking about how as followers of Jesus our lives take the shape of the cross. The cross is a symbol of submission and sacrifice - and it is the pattern, the path, the model, for how those who choose to follow Jesus live their lives. We've talked about the difference between believing and faith, serving God, serving others, hungering for God and now this week, we are going to talk about how we hear God.

We have been talking about Cruciformed faith, and today that shifts a bit. Today we'll understand that , seeking in this Cruciformed life, leads to finding, and that leads to a hunger for God. What does it really look like for us to hunger for God and how do we know if this hunger we have is REAL?

How do we live a cruciformed life to other people in the church? Today we're going to be looking at the idea of serving and how we live toward others. Jesus gave us the best example of how to do this; one example is found in Philippians chapter 2. Listen along to today's message taught by Student Ministries Associate Pastor, Kelsey Weller.

There is a death that must happen in order for us to live. A death to our identity and a death to the labels we take on and allow society to place on us. Today we look at how we as Christ-followers can live a surrendered, Cruciformed life toward God, with Jesus being our example. When we desire to live a Cruciformed life, we desire to live a life patterned after the cross and how Jesus lived.

An authentic experience of Jesus requires that we enter into his often ignored and disregarded teaching to: deny ourselves, take up our crosses, and lay down our lives for his sake and others. The New Testament is filled with with references to 'die' to ourselves and submit our lives to the leadership of Jesus. But the story doesn't end in death, Jesus' story didn't end in death and neither does ours. We die to ourselves to be born into a new life in Christ.

"I have been crucified with Christ and it is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me." Galatians 2:20

In today's message, Grant Bruscoe teaches on living a transformed life when it comes to how we view our accomplishments and achievements. There's nothing wrong with performing well or being successful, but when we allow our achievements and even our downfalls to define who we are, we've greatly missed it.
