In recent years, Christianity has faced some of its biggest challenges in the Western world. Churches are in decline. Personal evangelism is a thing of the past. Sin is rampant. Our current “scientific” and secular culture has shown the foolishness of faith, and on and on it goes. So, how can Christians find the motivation necessary to overcome the challenges of our modern culture and continue the mission that God has called us to? By remembering the end of the story! Today we begin our newest message series! In Revelation: All Things New, we’ll discover a glorious description of the end of all things and the great kingdom to come. As truth floods our hearts and magnificent images fill our imaginations, it is here that we find motivation for our present challenges. Listen to our first message of the series, Praise Our God, and be encouraged that our Family Mission is to Spread the Praise of God among our Neighbors and the Nations! 

What happens after we die? This is one of the biggest mysterious and curiosities spanning all humankind. There is so little knowledge about what happens to us after we die, there is all sorts of cultural intrigue around this question. We all want to know, because we’re all unsure, and we’re all going to die. Today we conclude our series called The Essentials: Why Truth Matters. In this series we are going to seek to lay down and identify the essential truths, the basic doctrines of the Christian faith growing through together one of the oldest affirmed creeds of the Christian church, The Apostles’ Creed. As we read 1 Thessalonians, we support the statement “I believe… in the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.” The church in Thessalonica was also concerned over this same question; what happens after we die? Paul is going to offer further instruction related to the resurrection and how it impacts our lives today. Join us for our last message of the series, I Believe in the Resurrection of the Body, and celebrate that Resurrection is coming!

Isn’t it interesting how we naturally want mercy and forgiveness for ourselves when we mess up but want swift justice for anyone that harms us? This is the tension that we live in daily and it’s a tension that we navigate unfairly every day. The only person that perfectly balances forgiveness and justice is Jesus. Today we continue our series called The Essentials: Why Truth Matters. In this series we are going to seek to lay down and identify the essential truths, the basic doctrines of the Christian faith growing through together one of the oldest affirmed creeds of the Christian church, The Apostle's Creed. Through a deeper look into the book of John, we are looking at the truth that we “believe in the forgiveness of sins”. Having our sins forgiven is a foundational need of everyone. In our text today we are going to see Jesus perfectly balance justice and mercy without promoting sin or condemning sinners. Here, let’s answer the question; What does forgiveness look like? Join us for our newest message of the series, I Believe in the Forgiveness of Sins, and celebrate together that Jesus forgives sins! 

Why do you do the things that you do? Think about it. Is it because someone you respect taught you? Are you wearing something you thought looked good on someone else? Have you started taking on hobbies your friends have? It’s pretty common, we become the people we surround ourselves with regularly. The same thing happens within the church! We don’t stay stagnant individuals. But what is actually happening? What is the important of the church? What does God do in the church? Today we continue our series called The Essentials: Why Truth Matters. In this series we are going to seek to lay down and identify the essential truths, the basic doctrines of the Christian faith growing through together one of the oldest affirmed creeds of the Christian church, The Apostles’ Creed. Through an investigation into Ephesians, we see how scripture enforces the statement “I believe in… the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints” and teaches us about the role of church. When those who follow Jesus as Lord come together, we start to grow in specific ways. Join us for our newest message of the series, I Believe in the holy Universal Church, and learn how God’s church is where God’s people grow in God’s image. 

Today we continue our series called The Essentials: Why Truth Matters. In this series we are going to seek to lay down and identify the essential truths, the basic doctrines of the Christian faith growing through together one of the oldest affirmed creeds of the Christian church, The Apostles’ Creed. Looking further into the book of John, we take a hard look at verses that support our belief that “He suffered under Pontius Pilate; was crucified, died, and was buried; he descended to the dead.” Jesus’s death is one of the most famous deaths in history, but do we truly understand the weight of what His death meant? Join us for our newest message of the series, I Believe in the Sacrifice of Jesus, and may we be  humbled that through His death, Jesus put sin to death.

Unfortunately when Bible stories become so main stream and casual, we lose the beautiful and power of those moment! Jesus’ death and resurrection is not just a story in a kids book. His victory has dramatic and amazing impact and consequences for all of our lives. But you might wonder what that really means? How does the so-called resurrection from the dead of a man who lived over two-thousand years ago have any impact on my life? Today we continue our series called The Essentials: Why Truth Matters. In this series we are going to seek to lay down and identify the essential truths, the basic doctrines of the Christian faith growing through together one of the oldest affirmed creeds of the Christian church, The Apostles’ Creed. We analyze the statement: “On the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.” What does Jesus’ victory mean for me? Join us for our newest message of the series, I Believe in the Reign of Jesus Christ, and celebrate that Jesus’ victory impacts everything!
