The Makings of a Healthy Church

Weekly Messages ·

2024/09/09

When I was growing up, I wanted to be a doctor. I loved the idea of helping people stay healthy, diagnosing their illnesses, and making sure their bodies were functioning as they should. The human body is remarkable, but as we all know, it requires the right care—a good diet and regular exercise to help it function properly and grow strong. In our passage this weekend, Luke, the physician, is essentially giving a prescription for a healthy church, outlining the diet and exercise that made the early

The Day Peter Became A Preacher

Imagine the scene: the streets of Jerusalem are filled with people from every nation, all gathered for a festival celebrating the harvest God provided them. Suddenly, the sound of a mighty wind rushes through the city, capturing everyone’s attention. Flames of fire appear above the apostles' heads as the Spirit of the Living God fills each one of them, and they begin speaking about God in languages they’ve never known before. Confusion and amazement sweep through the crowd. What is happening? What

When was the last time someone over-promised and under-delivered on a promise to you? Megan and I recently completed some updates to our home, and if you’ve ever gone through home renovations, you know this is a common experience of homeowners. Contractors often promise that a renovation project will be finished within a certain timeframe and budget, and with excellent results. But more often than not, the project ends up taking twice as long and costs twice as much. If you’ve been through it, you

You Will Be My Witnesses

This Sunday we begin our yearlong study of the Book of Acts. This book is an incredible journey through the early days of the Christian church, right after Jesus' resurrection and ascension. It is filled with examples of the transformative power and unstoppable work of the Holy Spirit. This week we will talk about the reality that Acts really happened and the Spirit that was promised to the apostles has come and is at work in the world today. Imagine what would happen in our community if we lived

ROOTED: Nameless Psalm, Faithful God

Weekly Messages ·

2024/08/04

Our God gives us insight into the personal prayer journal of believers thousands of years removed from our time. Yet somehow, their trials and triumphs seem eerily resonant with our contemporary experience.. “Though you have made me see troubles, many and bitter, you will restore my life again!” The psalmist, acquainted with suffering and familiar with pain, remains confident in Gods restoration! Do you? If not, let’s learn how to find that confidence together. If so, let’s gather to encourage

ROOTED: No Longer I Who Live

Weekly Messages ·

2024/07/29

Have you ever had to learn a “new normal?” Something significant happened and caused a ripple effect in your life to the point that things could not stay the same—you had no choice but to adjust, to learn a new way forward. Paul here is speaking of the greatest of all new normals, the gift Jesus gives to all who through faith, love and trust Him with their life; that “new normal” gift is this: through faith, Jesus lives in you, through you, and for you–each and every moment of your life. “It is no

ROOTED: The Greatest Invitation

Weekly Messages ·

2024/07/21

“You’re Invited!” Whether you are 7 or 70, hearing these words means the world to us… For example, we all remember what it felt like as a kid to be invited to birthday parties… and what it felt like to not be invited. We remember in part because that feeling never really goes away. You can say not being invited to that wedding or hangout or work party doesn’t bother you, but it does (you know it’s true). Invitations matter to us. In this week’s scripture passage Jesus extends an invitation to us

Rooted: The Love of a Compassionate Father

Weekly Messages ·

2024/07/14

This Sunday, join us as we dive into one of Jesus' most beloved parables: the story of the prodigal son. But instead of focusing on the wayward son, we will explore the heart of the compassionate father—a heart overflowing with unconditional love and boundless forgiveness. Through this powerful story, we will see how the father's response to both his wayward and his faithful sons reveals the depth of God's love for us. Whether you identify with the prodigal son or the elder brother, this message

ROOTED: Psalm 1

Weekly Messages ·

We celebrate our nation's independence and the Declaration of Independence, which highlights Americans' inalienable rights to "life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness." For much of my life, I didn't give much thought to what "the pursuit of happiness" really means. If you asked people, most would probably say it means Americans have the freedom to do whatever they want. Just look around, and you'll see that in action. However, the Declaration of Independence doesn't endorse Hedonism—the pursuit

EXODUS: Different People, Same God

Weekly Messages ·

2024/06/30

"Where are you from?" is the ultimate “Get to Know You” question. Everyone’s life story starts somewhere, and when someone begins to tell their story, we’re instantly taken back to the past. We get to meet the people, visit the places, and experience the events that have shaped them into who they are today. Without knowing these key moments from someone’s past, we can’t really understand who they are now. This is one reason why I believe Exodus is so important. It defines Israel's story and in many

Exodus: The Faithfulness of God

A GPS's purpose is to get us from one destination to the next. God isn't always worried about the destination but He is in the business of forming and shaping us into His image. As the Israelites are about to embark on a journey into the wilderness they are going to be reminded of God's faithfulness and begin to learn what it looks like to depend on God as they enter into unfamiliar territory.

EXODUS: The Tabernacle

It is an awesome thing to consider: that the LORD desires to be with His people. It was His plan all along–to center Himself among His people and for His people to orient their lives around Him. The tabernacle made this possible for a people in the wilderness. How might it be possible for us today? -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion Why do you think God gave such detailed instructions for the construction of the tabernacle? How does this reflect His character and priorities? How can we discern

EXODUS: The Meaning of His Name

Weekly Messages ·

2024/06/09

Sometimes we wonder what God is like, but we don't need to speculate when it comes to God. God has clearly revealed Himself to us. He has told us who He is and what He is like. He has made Himself known to us. There's no need for speculation when He has provided us with a clear understanding of His character and His love for us both in the Scriptures and in His Son. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion Have you ever had an experience with God that made you want to know Him more deeply?

Have you ever known someone whose presence in your life mattered to you? Have you ever known someone whose presence mattered most to you? We live in a time where people want “The Kingdom, but not the King.” They might not express it like this, but their actions reveal a clear truth: when given the choice people want more from God instead of more of God. Is this true of you? Let’s talk about it. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion How do you personally relate to Moses' declaration that he would

Do any of you have a most prized possession? Something you keep in a glass case or out of the reach of children? Autographed memorabilia? A wedding ring? A piece of art, perhaps? Now, can you imagine destroying that thing to prove a point? Moses once did such a thing with what is–to this day–quite possibly the most valuable thing to ever have existed.

If I were to tell you that the wrath of God was real, which I believe it is, and that it is coming on account of something, one thing in particular, would you want to know what that one thing is? I hope so. In fact, I would hope that you would not only want to know what that one thing is, but you would want to know everything you could about it so you could stay as far away from that one thing as humanly possible. Yes? Good. Let’s talk about idols of the human heart. -- Questions for Reflection &

Have you ever had a mountain top experience? These are moments not so much about reaching the literal peaks of mountains, but about the part they play in one’s life. The transformative high points of one’s life where things were never the same afterwards. Moses and the elders of Israel had one–a meal with God Himself on His holy mountain. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion Instead of simply imposing obedience, God chose to establish a covenant with His people, demonstrating grace.

EXODUS: The Ten Commandments (Part Two)

Weekly Messages ·

2024/05/05

The Ten Commandments are timeless wisdom. Wisdom is “knowing what to do with what you know.” It is the application of knowledge. The Bible says “the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom” (Prov. 9:10). The way to godly wisdom then is not by listening to your gut but by listening to God. If we want to know right from wrong, if we want to know how to live “the good life,” if we want to know how to live in a way that blesses our friends and neighbors, we’d be wise to do things God’s way.

You won’t want to miss this Sunday. Family Worship Sunday. Connect 4 Lunch. And, to top it off, we have multiple members of our faith family taking their walk with Jesus to the waters of baptism. To fully appreciate what it is that they are doing, we are going to spend some time looking at what we believe is the biblical understanding of baptism. My prayer is that we’d all get to a place where even if we don't fully comprehend it, we can be certain it's a sacred moment. -- Questions for Reflection &

Weekly Messages ·

Could you name the Ten Commandments? Studies done over the years show that the majority of Americans and even Christians struggle to recall them. While memorization is valuable, it's more important for us to grasp the truths embedded within the words spoken by God to His people. Truths that are still relevant for us today. -- Questions for Reflection & Discussion Why is it important to understand that the commandments are a faithful response to God and not a prerequisite for a relationship with God
