Fruit of the Spirit | Gentleness in a Time of Harshness | July 17

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?

Fruit of the Spirit | Goodness in a Time of Brokenness | July 10

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?

Fruit of the Spirit | Patience in a Time of Irritability | July 3

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.

In Christ | Sanctification | May 22

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?

In Christ | Imputed Righteousness | May 15

Sermon by Brandon Clements on May 15, 2022.

In Christ | From In Adam to In Christ | May 1

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.

In Christ | Enjoying Our Union with Him | April 24

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”?
