Christmas 2019: How to People

Each Advent season we take time to pause, slow down, and savor. As a church, instead of “ramping up” we slow down. We preach the lectionary instead of a sermon series, have some acoustic sets of worship, and hold presence over production. This Christmas, join us as we take a deep breath and celebrate the coming of Jesus Christ.

Gratitude

Gratitude is the barometer of our spiritual health. It is how we tell the level of our intimacy with Jesus. It is not just a nice idea, but is a command of God to be thankful in everything. Who do you need to say "Thank you" today?

New Life Sunday

Baptism is an outward sign of an inward reality. It is the expression of a heart that is sold out for Jesus. As we go under the water, we take every identity we’ve been given with us: gender, race, culture, etc. but when we rise, we leave all of those under the water and rise to say, “The only identity that clings to me now is my identity as a child of God.” So watch as we celebrate this new life with others on New Life Sunday.

Blindspots: Cultural Blindspots

We all know blind spots are dangerous when we’re changing lanes at 70 mph on an interstate highway. But just as critical are the blind spots that block us from seeing the truth about ourselves and others. Blind spots are, by definition, invisible to us. No matter how hard we try to see them we can’t, at least on our own. Our only hope is for God and others to come alongside us and help point them out. In this series we see what the Bible has to say about our religious, relational, financial, and cultural blindspots so that we can learn to see and be transformed.

Love Where You Live: Therefore We Love

God loves the world. All of it. Even though the world is broken, God is in the business of redemption. After Jesus rose from the dead, he told his disciples, “go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything I have commanded you.” When he said that, every follower of Jesus called into the great purpose of helping him redeem the world. You were born on purpose for a purpose. God did not make a mistake when he placed you in your family, or at this point in history. He put you here, now, so that you could follow him, and love where you live.
