Sermon by Michael Bailey on September 4, 2022.
Knowing what to expect is essential in life. Whether it comes to becoming an adult, getting married, or learning to parent, expectations are critical. It's the same with being a Christian. In Acts 9, we look more closely at Paul's life, the opposition he faced, and what that tells about following Jesus.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on August 28, 2022.
From Acts 4 onward, the early church receives murderous threats from the Jewish elite. In Acts 9, we zoom in on one in particular: Saul of Tarsus, a religious, moral zealot who believed he was on the right side of history. This week we see what happens when God’s Spirit uses God’s people to help change the trajectory of his life.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on August 21, 2022.
As we get back into Acts, what does it mean to be the church? Why is it important? And how can we step into God’s story for us some 2,000 years removed from what we see in Acts?
Sermon by Andrew Flowers on August 14, 2022.
We have a few catchphrases to narrate who we are, what we do, and what we’re about as a church. One of those is that we’re a people who are “Following Jesus Together.”
One of the primary tools we use to help us follow Jesus is our Covenant Practices - seven practices we believe are crucial for your spiritual health - one of which is abiding with Jesus.
So for this sermon we’ll be answering questions like, “What is the Bible?” “Why does it matter?” And, “Who are we becoming when we commit to this practice?"
Sermon by Kent Bateman on August 7, 2022.
As we wrap up our series, we look at the final fruit of the Spirit: self-control. How do we live this when our world sees self-control as repressive or, at the very least, something we don’t want to emphasize in our lives?
Sermon by Garrison Weiner on July 31, 2022.
When our expectations don’t line up with reality, we can often it meet it with cynicism or naïveté. So how can we become people of joy no matter what life throws our way?
Sermon by Michael Bailey on July 24, 2022.
This week we look at the fruit of faithfulness and how God’s faithfulness towards us is meant to move us towards faithfulness to Him and others. But in an age of continual compromise, how do we as followers of Jesus fight to live this out?
Sermon by Ant Frederick on July 17, 2022.
We live in an age where often times, the more forcefully and bluntly you state how you feel about an issue, the more you’re celebrated by those who hold the same beliefs as you. So for us, how can we press into the fruit of gentleness in an age where harshness is seen as virtue?
Sermon by Michael Bailey on July 10, 2022.
“To live according to the purpose you were created for,” this is goodness. "When all is as it should be," this is the fruit of the Spirit we’re looking at this week. But how do we know what we’re created for, especially when there is so much confusion around this?
Sermon by Allen Tipping on July 3, 2022.
In our culture, we can easily be a people of reactivity, impulsivity, and immediacy. We want it all and we want it now. But in this weeks sermon, we see that God is patient. His patience for us creates time and space for growth, maturity, change, and redemption. And by the Spirit, we can exhibit that same attitude towards others.
Sermon by Jake Blair on June 26, 2022.
From Mr. Rogers to Ted Lasso, we love seeing snapshots of kindness. But what does this fruit of the Spirit actually mean? And how can we access radical kindness in a world that so desperately needs it?
Sermon by Brandon Clements on June 19, 2022.
When the Bible talks about “peace” what exactly does that mean? Is it the absence of hard circumstances or something deeper? In today’s sermon we’ll explore biblical peace and how it’s meant to anchor us even in the worst of situations.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on June 12, 2022.
For this series we’re taking nine weeks to walk through the Fruit of the Spirit we are called to cultivate, as we examine the life and teachings of Jesus and how the Fruit of the Spirit was evident in His life.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on June 5, 2022.
In the final week of this series, we explore shame vs honor culture of the Bible and how, in Christ, we are cleansed, forgiven, and restored.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on May 29, 2022.
Jesus is in the business of making all things new and He first starts with us. For this week we’ll look at 2 Corinthians 5, and how through reconciling us to Himself, God uses us to reconcile the world to Him.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on May 22, 2022.
What happens when you hit a spiritual “wall” in your walk with Jesus? What happens when, despite your best efforts, you notice your life doesn’t match up with what Scripture calls you to? For our sermon this week, we explore the good news of how, in Christ, we have His imparted righteousness to help us.
Sermon by Brandon Clements on May 15, 2022.
All of us have this incessant need to prove our goodness to ourselves, to others and to God. For this week, we’ll look at Romans 3-4 and how in Christ, we are freed up from having to prove ourselves because Jesus is our righteousness.
Sermon by Andrew Flowers on May 8, 2022.
For our sermon this week, we explore what it means to be adopted in Christ. In Him, not only do we have a Father who delights in us, but we've now been given a family to be a part of.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on May 1, 2022.
"You may teach what you know, but you reproduce who you are." This is whether you’re in a position of leadership or if you’re a parent: we reproduce who we are. The same is true theologically. This week we look at 1 Corinthians 15 as we unpack the concept of who we were in Adam and who we’ve become in Christ.
Sermon by Michael Bailey on April 24, 2022.
The terms “in Christ,” “in Him,” and “in the Lord” are used in the New Testament over 150 times to describe what it means to be a Christian. For the biblical authors and the early church, this concept was foundational in understanding who we are with God and with others. So, what does it actually mean to be “in Christ”?
