From an Old Testament perspective, the purpose of sacrifice was a way of bringing people into the presence of God. More than sacrifice merely being ‘giving something up’, it is perhaps better understood as a giving over of the valuable, the sacred. Pastor Donny explores why God is worthy of our sacrifices and challenges us with the question, “What do you need to sacrifice?”

‘How We Change’ is to focus on the way of Jesus. If you catch this, you catch this series (and if we miss this, we miss the series). Focusing on the way of Jesus keeps our spiritual practices vibrant and relational (and keeps us from a focus on the practices themselves which will turn stale and legalistic. Focus on the way of Jesus – that’s where the life and vibrancy and flourishing is found.

Pastors Dary and John share church-wide and also campus-specific vision for the new year.

God is more committed to your flourishing than you are. Don't you want to see that?? Trust him and let Jesus grow his righteousness grow in you and through you.

What was the next day like for the shepherds? Or for Mary and Joseph? Gathering together for a single service after the celebration of Christmas Eve and Christmas Day, we’ll take this opportunity to explore living in the ‘ordinary after the extraordinary’.

Especially at Christmastime, we get to celebrate in wonder that the light has come and we do not need to walk or stumble around in the darkness. Jesus is the light of the whole world, a light we all so desperately need!

God desires to connect with us and we can know this through the Christmas Story. Join Pastor Foth for this special Christmas service.

In this week’s 2 part message, we encounter the power and the posture of a God who makes the impossible a reality! As we come to grips with his greatness, we’re going to find ourselves asking the question: Why would this great God pursue me? Our prayer is that the answer would continue to stir awe and wonder and worship!

At Christmastime we joyously celebrate that God’s love came SO FAR to rescue us. But so little about that vast distance is understood. It’s unexplored. Unfathomed. That’s the big task we’re going to start with, to set the stage for these weeks of Advent. We’re going to try to find the jaw-dropping awe and wonder in the furthest journey ever traveled, “From Cosmos to Cradle”.

Pastor Dick Foth shares a very special Thanksgiving message with us this weekend. Please join us for his message entitled "A Grateful Heart"
