In this sermon, Pastor Kory asks the question, "What are spiritual gifts? How do we use these gifts?" This is the second of our GPS series where we are finding our place in God's purpose. Listen as he unpacks spiritual gifts described in 2 Corinthians 12. Let this message encourage you to grow in your understanding and exercising your gifts.

This week, Pastor Kory has a great conversation with Bryon Tang about living on purpose. They talk about how our story prepares us for ministry, the best way to find your gifts are to try them out, how fixing plumbing is ministry and ask the question of whether drummers are musicians!

In this sermon, Pastor Kory asks the question, "Do we believe that God can do immeasurably more than we can ask or imagine?" This is the first of our GPS series where we are finding our place in God's purpose.

How would you describe grace? Listen as Pastor Kory shares the complexity of grace and shaping how to meet some of our core needs as humans.

If reading Genesis over the past few weeks has got your mind buzzing with questions, you aren’t the only one! Where did Cain get his wife? How old is the earth? Are Adam and Eve historical figures? What do you think about evolution? How does Genesis help us in some of the current questions about sex and gender? Join Kory and Abby as they talk through these and many more questions our church family has been asking. We might not have all the answers, but we can find our footing in the authority of Scripture and our Creator God who is big enough for any question we ask.

If you want to talk more about your questions, send us an email at [email protected]. We’d love to dig deeper with you.

While sin is serious, God is gracious. Our story is the story of a God who pursues in order to heal, forgive, convict and challenge us on the journey.

Last week we talked about the weight of sin. It’s serious, it’s damaging, and it wreaks havoc and brokenness all throughout our world. And, because sin is so serious, it can be easy to think that a pure and holy God wouldn’t want to be anywhere near it, but Scripture paints a different story. Yes, God is holy but nothing – not even our sin – will stop Him from pursuing us. Dive in with the crew to the stories of the woman at the well (Brenna’s favorite!), Hagar, and Hosea and get a glimpse of the our good, loving God who never stops chasing after us.

As always, if you like what you hear, give us a rating and review on whichever platform you use to listen to podcasts. We’d love to hear from you!
