Searching for the Messiah
The Jewish people longed for the arrival of the one who would come. Moses spoke about one who would come to be like him. Tied up in the word Messiah was anticipation and expectation. The Messiah hadn’t arrived yet, but steeped in the hope that he would arrive were ideas about what he would be like. Some thought he would be a high priest, bringing forgiveness and reconciliation with God. Some thought that he would bring emancipation from the rule of their oppressors, delivering them…

Church: Community
SUMMARY Our focus for our message series this summer, Church: Community is on what it means to be the church of Jesus Christ. The first few messages are focused on the basics – being a praying, forgiving, healing, and witnessing community. These are basic ways we display how we are different to the world around us. If these behaviors are not evident in our lives, we miss the opportunity to witness of the ability of Jesus to transform us. The…
PLANTED
It is always good to understand what our foundation is, the base we stand upon. It is always good to know what forms that foundation. Over the next five weeks we will look at the Shema, the beginning of the really long sermon in Deuteronomy 6:4-9. It is a text that our Jewish brothers and sisters use every time they worship. They often begin worship reciting a litany based on the Shema which you will learn. All of it will…
STORY
In Acts 22 and 26, the apostle Paul gave his testimony to two different groups as he was arrested. He explained he went from observant Jew to Christ follower. We all have a story like that to share. In this short series, Randy will share his personal story of how Jesus became his foundation. The following week, Scott will have us examine what our own story might be and how we can be prepared to share it. And on April…
I AM
On the way Jesus asked them, “Who do people say I am?” Mark 8:27 For thousands of years people have been asking “Who is God?” God himself describes Himself as the “I AM.” But what did that mean then? And how is it relevant to us now? As we journey through the Lenten season toward the celebration of Easter, we will bring the I AM to life as we reflect on the seven I AM statements declared by Jesus. In…
More Than A Feeling
God is close to the brokenhearted and will save those who are crushed in spirit. Psalm 34:18 Like pain is a warning sign to our body, so emotions are to our soul. At our worst, we stuff our emotions deep within like toxic waste that has been buried deep beneath the earth surface or we spew them like lava spurting from a volcano. Either way, be it years later or in the moment, when not handled well our emotions can…
Gifts From Above
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights… James 1:17 The Christmas story is much greater than the moment when Jesus was born into the world. It is a story that spans the ages from the beginning to the present and into the future. It is a story of gifts that were intended to be given by our loving God the Father, through His coming Son and by the Spirit so…
Faith That Works
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault and it will be given to you. James 1:5 True faith produces wisdom and fruit. A faith without action and without life change is ultimately a dead faith. The book of James speaks to the realities of a living faith in Jesus—the kind of roll-up-your-sleeves and get-your-hands-dirty discipleship that is borne out of an authentic relationship with the risen Lord. James, the…
Finding The Way
Your Word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path. Psalm 119:105 There may not be a better tribute to the Holy Scriptures than the one that is provided in Psalm 119. Every verse in Psalm 119 exalts the Word of God and the God of Word. This psalm has been called the “Mount Everest of the Psalms” and every verse mentions and exalts God. In these one hundred seventy-six verses, all but five verses reference the…
Together: Ordinary People with Ordinary Callings
Nevertheless, each person should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to them, just as God has called them. 1 Corinthians 7:17 The good news is that God has a call on every individuals’ life that He has created. Living into your call can happen through faith in Christ and following the leading of His Spirit. The reality is that understanding our calling gives deep meaning and purpose to life. Furthermore, if we all would focus…
Together: Experiencing A Savior Who Knows
Lenten Series: March 6 – April 17, 2022 As we head into Lenten season, our hope is you will understand that we have a Savior that suffered much for us. Along with being tempted in every way, our Savior suffered in every way emotionally, physically, socially and relationally. As God and man, he experienced loneliness, grief, mockery, exhaustion, brutalization, betrayal, abandonment and misrepresentation. The benefit of reflecting on His suffering is to understand the extent of His love for us…

In this seven-week series, we…
Remembering

The Israelites traversed the desert, heading toward the promised land. Similarly, we are a faith community heading into a new future.

In this series, we learn from the Israelites’ story,…

The Essentials
The EssentialsFollowing Jesus from the Inside Out 9-Week Series October 4 — November 29 Galatians 5:22-23, NLT But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control.

Though it is so well known, its life-altering impact can be lost on…
Radiant, The Power of Our Light …Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her 26 to make her holy, cleansing her by the washing with water through the word, 27 and to present her to himself as a radiant church, without stain or wrinkle or any other blemish, but holy and blameless. —Galatians 5:25b-27 Two thousand years ago, a gathering of people in a middle-eastern city began a movement that would circle the globe and leave its mark on individuals and cultures on every continent.
