This week we study Joseph's response to Mary's pregnancy. Joseph's willingness to surrender his reputation for the sake of God's plan exemplifies the transformative power of humility, trust, and obedience, revealing the depth of blessings that come from surrendering our pride and social standing.

Matthew 1:18-25

As we continue in the Advent season, we study the interaction between Mary and Gabriel, and Mary's response to what God has for her. Her surrender of a dream leads to a life most blessed (not easy).

Luke 2:26-38

In this season of Advent, we embark on a profound journey of learning to trust and surrender, exploring the stories of key figures in the birth of Jesus. Through these narratives, we will uncover the beauty of surrendering to God's divine plan. This week, we examine the genealogy of Jesus, and see how God transforms family narratives and generational curses.

Matthew 1:2-17

This past Sunday we gathered with the whole family and reflected on the truth that we can trust in the story God has written and can respond in gratitude.

There is an update from the Rim Vision Leadership Team following the message.

Philippians 1:3-6

What does the Bible say about death, the end times, and heaven? To conclude our Rooted & Renegade series, we look to the Bible to see what scripture says about the return of Christ and what that means for us as believers.

Rev. 1:1-3, 19:10, 2 Tim. 3:1-5, 4:1-5, 1 Thess. 4:13-18, John 14:1-3, Luke 23:43, Phil. 1:21-23, 1 Cor. 15:35-58, 2 Cor. 5:1-10, Acts 1:9-11, Matt. 24-25, Dan. 7:9-14, Matt.9:15

The Holy Spirit is the presence of God working to make all things new. He brings order to chaos, creates purpose, and sustains life by giving us an identity of sonship.

Acts 1:4-8, Genesis 2:1-7, 1 Corinthians 6:19-20

Salvation is the work of Jesus that has saved us from the penalty of sin, is saving us from the power of sin, and will save us from the presence of sin.

Ephesians 2:1-5, Romans 3: 23-26, Galatians 5:17, Philippians 1:6, Romans 8:18-25

In week five of our Rooted & Renegade series, we study what Jesus says about His Church. The Church is a family centered around God, in a special covenantal relationship with God, and uniquely designed by God to bless the world.

LaShaude James

Ephesians 5:21-32, 2:18-22, Acts 2:42-47, Matthew 22:36-40, 28:16-20

The incarnation and life of Jesus inform how we should value mental health. Every miracle Jesus performed involved mental health, leading us to the question: How do we as the church show the beauty of Jesus in the world of mental health?

Scott Heare

John 1:1-14

God wants to be known - not as an object to analyze but as a person to apprehend. God is going to great lengths to make eye contact with us. Of them all, Jesus is the key to seeing & knowing God. The Bible is one Epic, unified story that points to Jesus.
