    To Follow Is To Sacrifice

    Is sacrifice an important part of your life? When Jesus describes what it means to follow him in Matthew 16, he speaks plainly about the necessity of sacrifice: giving up something you would like to keep in order to gain something greater. He says we can gain the whole world and still lose our soul if we are unwilling to deny ourselves.For some of us, these words carry painful baggage. We have experienced Christian teaching that twisted “deny yourself” into a justification for neglecting yourself, ignoring your needs, or enduring manipulation and abuse.Yet, the challenge remains: sacrifice is central to an abundant, soulful life and a necessary part of following Jesus.Join us for the third sermon in The High Ground, as we explore what it means to follow Jesus by giving up what we cannot keep to gain what we will never lose.

    Knowing God is About Relationships: John 1:1–3, 14, 18

    How do we come to know an infinite God? Are facts and ideas enough to satisfy our souls, or is knowing God more like knowing a friend? John's Gospel tells us the divine became flesh in Jesus. Maybe God is still revealed in tangible ways today through Scripture, around a table of fellowship, in ordinary moments, and even in times of great difficulty. Join us for Part Two of The High Ground sermon series as we step back to discover what it means to become A Place to Know God.

    Belonging is About Identity

    In the fast-moving unpredictability of the world, how do you make room to dream? To plan? To create goals for the future? It starts with finding higher ground. When everything feels uncertain, finding higher ground isn't about escaping the world. It's about gaining perspective so we can see clearly enough to know where to go next.

    The Hope of Renewed Creation: Romans 8:22-28

    We look around us today and see a world that is in pain. What is God’s response to this pain, and more important, what is God’s plan? When we’re uncertain of these answers it’s easy to want to give up. This Sunday morning we will spend some time in the eighth chapter of Romans, and we will seek to find some encouragement to have hope and to press on in the work that God has called us to.

    Rooted and Growing Through Adversity: Matthew 13:24-29, 36-43

    It can be tempting to leave, move, or abruptly change direction when we find ourselves sharing a community, city, workplace or family with people who don't behave the way we think they should. After all, they are "toxic" right? Jesus tells a parable that challenges this way of thinking and implies that, like the wheat in the story, putting down roots and growing amid adversity is often part of how we mature. Join us this Sunday for an exploration of staying present amid temporary pain to cultivate resilience, wisdom, and fruitfulness "...and maybe even discover that we are not nearly as good at telling wheat from weeds as we think we are."

    You DIdn't Miss Your Opportunity: Matthew 13:1-9, 18-23

    Have your ever felt like you missed your one opportunity to live an abundant life? Jesus once told a story about a farmer scattering seed to reveal God's generous way of working in the world. The seeds fell on every kind of ground, in every kind of place. Maybe God is still scattering the seeds of abundance on the ground right in front of us.

    An Inner Authority: Spiritual Intuition: Matthew 10:40-42

    Do you trust yourself? Should you? At some point, most of us have trusted an authority that has let us down or caused us harm. Sometimes we were fooled, tricked, or manipulated. Other times, people simply failed us. In light of those experiences, how do we develop an inner sense of discernment, of intuition, of authority? The ministry of Jesus has more to say about that than we might think. Join us for the final entry in our series, "Authority Issues."
