Trust

Trust is the reliance on the integrity, strength, ability, surety, etc. of a person or thing; confidence. Trust is central to relationships, business and family. Join us for a new four-week series “Trust,” as we look at how to become a trustworthy person, build trust, extend trust to others and restore trust once it is destroyed.

Won’t You Be My Neighbor?

Remember the sneakers? Remember the sweater? Remember the cute little song? It was always a beautiful day in Mr. Rogers’ neighborhood. And no matter who you were, you were invited to be his neighbor. It was an invitation to be in relationship—but not a real relationship. It was, after all, a TV show. Life can be a lot more complicated than Mr. Roger’s idyllic neighborhood. Maintaining real-life relationships that are healthy and authentic is challenging. Whether it’s a relationship with your parents, your friends or a stranger, Jesus’ call to “love your neighbor” has huge implications.

Epidemic

What if an epidemic of grace broke out in our community? What if it spread beyond our community to our nation and the world? The epidemic begins this weekend. Be a part of the story. Join us for one of our worship services.

Contraband

Perhaps more impressive than any of the miracles in the Bible is the Bible itself. A collection of 66 books written over a span of 1500 years by over 40 different authors, the Bible remarkably tells one single story. Yet, the Bible is considered dangerous and contraband in many places. Don’t miss this week as we discover what God’s story is all about and what this means for our own life story.

Epic

All of us want to be epic. Heroic. Great. Beyond ordinary. But what is epic? What is greatness? What is heroic? Join us this Sunday as we start our new series “Epic: surpassing the ordinary.”

Snapshots of the Savior

Over the next two weeks we’ll look at snapshots from the life of our Savior. The first week we’ll focus on the cross and what that means. The second week we’ll examine the empty tomb. Don’t miss these two exciting weeks!

Finding God

People often come to church hoping to “find” God. But God is rarely found in the places we might first suspect. God is found in the sacred spaces of this world that reach beyond the walls of church buildings and religious activity. Join us for a new five-week series called “Finding God” as we examine the way we think about encountering God and look through different eyes.

If Only

Regrets. We all have them. A missed opportunity, a poor financial decision, a boundary crossed, a relationship damaged. Life is filled with “if onlys.” Sometimes they haunt us. Sometimes they control us. Sometimes they define us. So how do you handle regret? Do you ignore it? Deny it? Just move on?

Most of the people we look to as models of faith had some “if onlys” in their lives. It was in the midst of their experiences that God became real hope re-ignited. Join us as we explore the faithfulness of God in the midst of life’s regrets.

The Third Day

The Third Day. It represents hope. It means that our present circumstances do not have to limit our future. It means that change is possible. The Bible proclaims that Jesus rose from the grave on the third day. That ancient text is a reminder that nothing is more powerful than God – not sin, not our past, not even death itself. Because of The Third Day, we can move from darkness into God’s marvelous light. Join us April 7 & 8 for our Easter Services and experience the power of The Third Day in your own life.

HD: Clarity

Do you have a “High Definition” television? HD TV’s are extremely popular these days because the picture is much sharper, cleaner, and well, just better than “standard definition.” You might say HD offers us more clarity. We believe the Bible offers clarity on the best way to live, and how to handle even the most difficult issues in life. For the next five weeks we are going to look at what Scripture has to say about some of the hard issues students and their friends navigate through every day.
