Acts Part 2 | A Defining Moment | August 28

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.

Acts Part 2 | The Movement of God | August 21

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?

Following Jesus Together | Abide | August 14

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?"

Fruit of the Spirit | Self-Control in a time of Self-Fulfillment | August 7

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?

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

Sermon by Ant Frederick on July 17, 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.
