Part 1: United in a Divided World
In many ways the Way of Jesus is counter cultural. One of those ways is the drive towards unity. While division and strife rule our day to day lives and newsfeeds, the Way of Jesus fights for unity, even in the face of disagreement and embraces the differences amongst us to create a community working together for the common good of man in the Kingdom of Heaven. Do you know this sense of unity? Pastor Ryan begins on a series on how we become the Indivisible Church as we practice Unity in a Divided World.

Part 4: The Truth About Purpose & Calling
Would you live differently if you believed you were intentionally made by someone? Would it change the way you interacted with others if you believed they were intentionally made by someone? Some see our existence as a matter of happenstance. They believe the right factors lined up by chance and resulted in the world we see. The Bible tells another story though. It tells the story of a Creator God who looks at you with pride and calls you the result of His craftsmanship, created in Christ and for good works. Pastor Ryan wraps our series on Foundations for a Good Race by looking at what it means to be created with Purpose & Calling.

Part 3: The Truth About Righteousness
What does righteousness actually mean? And what do I have to do to be "righteous"? If you've ever wondered these things, you might have encountered worldviews that have given you a list of things to do or ways to go about life that can make you a righteous person. The radical thing about Christianity is this: righteousness is not a thing you do, but a Person you know. It is a relationship with a God that became a man and exchanged our interpersonal separation for right standing and restored life and love.

Part 2: The Truth About Our Condition
What do you believe you deserve for your life? What is the truth about the condition of your life? Pastor Taylor examines three critical questions when it comes to addressing this foundational issue in our Christian journey. Who has the wisdom to diagnose our condition?; What do they say about our condition?; and What can be done about our condition? It's not a great starting point, but the Great Physician IS great!

Part 1: The Truth About Jesus
Who do you say that Jesus is? What you believe to be about Him is the foundation from which our entire life flows. Some people say that Jesus was a good man and a good teacher. Some would even say He was a prophet of God or a demigod. But the Biblical truth is simply this: Jesus is God. This is the starting place as we begin a series examining four essential truths that are Foundations for a Good Race.
