Philippians

Watching believers sharply divide over secondary issues makes one truth abundantly clear: the gospel was never meant to share the spotlight.

The church will never unite around social issues, political parties, or secondary causes. Believers on every side are convinced that if others were just more educated, they would agree. Meanwhile, the enemy is pleased as our focus drifts away from what truly binds us together.

For us, the linchpin of our partnership is the gospel.

What happens when Christians make the gospel, not opinions or other causes, the center of their unity?

Philippians

The partnerships we chose can make life incredible or miserable (marriage, friends, work, church, and more). Understanding that, how we do identify and form the right partnerships?

What's My Purpose?

We will never be satisfied until we discover and embrace God's purpose for our lives. But knowing what His purpose is for us is only half the equation. Next, we need to know HOW God works to fulfill His purpose in us.

Here's the truth: the power doesn't come from us. Unless we are abiding in Christ, our lives will not align with His purpose. To help us fulfill His purpose, God has given us some incredible gifts. When we discover what God has given us and apply them to our lives, His glory is increasingly reproduced in us.

What are those gifts from God that help us fulfill our purpose?

What's My Purpose?

It is easy for believers to confuse God's purpose for their life with specific assignments God gives. Yes, God has made every person with unique gifts, talents, abilities, and passions... and He calls us to specific assignments based on His will and His design. But those ASSIGNMENTS are not our PURPOSE! Any assignment - marriage, parenting, ministry, occupation, etc. - ultimately finds its significance in the way it points back to God's PURPOSE for our lives.

The significance you're craving can only be found when you identify and embrace God's PURPOSE for your life. And His purpose is unchanging... assignments may come and go, but His purpose remains the same.

So, what is it? What is God's purpose for your life?

Over time, words like "love" seem to lose their punch. In English, we use the same word "love" to describe our affection for both God and for our favorite flavor of ice cream!
In John 13, Jesus uses the Greek word "agape" - and we translate that Greek word into the English word "love". What if we took a fresh look at that word? How would a better understanding of love shape our view of God, of others, and of ourselves? What would happen if the church turned to agape like Jesus? Let's find out! Sermon notes attached.
Join Pastor Jerry at 10am as he helps us unpack "agape" in John 13. This will be the final message in our series, Love Has Come.

Maybe it’s time to change your perspective.

Like David in Psalm 8, and like the disciples whose perspective Jesus reshaped in Mark 4:35–41, we’re invited to see differently. That change begins when we trade control for trust, allow eternity to shape how we live today, choose worship over worry, and remember this simple truth: He deserves it all.

Love Has Come

Luke 2 is full of stories of awe and wonder about the coming of our savior, Jesus Christ. However, we will not be covering the famous stories from Luke 2 like the story of the shepherds, the angels, and Jesus' birth. 

Join us as we dive into Luke 2 and see the wonder and joy of the savior through God's Promise.

Love Has Come

Have you ever had one of those promptings from the Lord that you knew was from Him? A difficult assignment that demanded your response?

When Mary received a difficult assignment from the Lord (Luke 1), her response was to willingly obey... and even rejoice!

How did she do that?

She had faith in what the angel told her. The angel revealed to Mary that Jesus is LORD. Mary's response was rooted in her faith that He is Lord of ALL.

Faith in Jesus as Lord changes our perspective on difficult assignments. They go from curses to blessings; from inconveniences to purpose; from annoying to dignifying; from misery to invitations of deeper joy.

Wouldn't you like to be like Mary? Don't you want God's invitations in your life to be felt as the incredible blessing that they are? Let's look closer at Mary's faith in Jesus as Lord in Luke 1.

Love Has Come

The greatest stories in the world are stories of conflict - where light and darkness collide - and where love and redemption ultimately prevail.

At Christmastime, Christians celebrate the greatest story of sacrifice, redemption, and love the world has ever known. It is the story of how the God of heaven left the glories of heaven to take on our likeness and give His life to save us from our sins. At Christmas, we remember Love Has Come... and He is Savior.

The Power of Giving Thanks

Have you ever noticed how easy it is to breeze right by significant works of God without pausing to give Him thanks? Throughout the Bible, God set up practices intended to disrupt the day-to-day lives of His people so they would pause, reflect, and give Him thanks!

Join us for this special Thanksgiving service as we PRACTICE thanksgiving! Together, we will pause, reflect on God's mighty works this year, and give Him thanks!
