Happily Ever After?

The idea of marriage is filled with so many myths: true love comes naturally; I didn’t marry the right person; if only they would recognize their need to change. These myths create a mountain of expectations that will never be met and often leave husbands and wives disappointed, disillusioned and unsatisfied. In this series we [...]

Love Illuminated

The focus of the book of 1 John is on love, but John really helps to redefine what love is – both God’s love for us and our love for him and others. He takes love out of the “define it how you want it, touchy feely stuff” to something much more tangible. Join us [...]

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.

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.

Attached

Every one of us is attached to something—some person, thing or experience. The trouble with our attachments is that sometimes they let us down. Join us for the next three weeks as we explore the attachments that become part of our identity, and uncover the truth about our identity in Christ.

Judged

Most of us are familiar with Jesus’ instruction not to judge others. But what exactly did He mean? And are we supposed to look away when a close friend or family member is doing something dishonest or immoral. Are there times when it is wrong not to judge? Join us this weekend as we explore the answers to these questions and more.

Twilight: Before Dark

Join us for our new series on sex, dating and relationships called “Twilight: before dark.” Twilight is an extremely popular book series ( and now a movie) that follows the relationship of two teenagers. We’ll use this pop culture story as our back drop to talk about: moral boundaries, what the bible says about sex, purity as a lifestyle, dating and how far is too far, and choices and standards that lead to a healthy marriage.

Time – Balancing a Busy Life

Many of us are faced with decisions about how we want to spend the next year. We have to decide: What we want to do, vacations we want to go on, activities our kids want to do. You might be in the middle of a career change or searching for a new job. You have to make a number of choices of how you’re going to spend your time. It’s no wonder why we hear people say, “If I just had time! If I just had a few more hours in the day.” So, how do we maximize our time? How we make the most of it? How do we follow the examples of those before us who used their time well? Join us this weekend as we look at time and what really matters.
