For God So Loved

The coming of Jesus reveals the heart of God and the love that he extends to us. As we continue through this Advent season how can we invite God to prepare our hearts to receive this love and extend it to others?

Come On, Let's All Adore Him!

As we enter into the Christmas season how do we prepare our hearts for adoration so that we share with others the wonder of Jesus' coming and His salvation for our lives? Matt Vogt shares from Matthew 2 to posture us for worship during this season to stir longing within us.

Blessed Are Those Who Are Persecuted Because of Righteousness

We conclude our series in the beatitudes with the last beatitude, a double-beatitude of sorts that sees Jesus reiterate the reality of persecution for his followers. Why would Jesus and his followers be persecuted? And why would we embrace this? We contemplate what this means for our lives as followers of Jesus.

The Powerful Witness of Baptism

As we celebrated Baptism Sunday together it's valuable to ask ourselves why we do this? Why do we get into a tank and get dunked under water as part of our faith? Through the lens of Romans 6 we answer this questions and consider why baptism is such a powerful witness to ourselves and to others.

Blessed are the Peacemakers

The peace that Jesus offers us is very different peace from what the world offers us and it calls his followers to be intentional and active as peacemakers for the sake of others. What does this peace look like and what posture does it call us to? We dig into these questions and more as we continue our series The Kingdom Manifesto.

Blessed are the Pure in Heart

The sixth beatitude, “blessed are the pure in heart” may be the most comforting, compelling but challenging beatitude yet. What does Jesus mean by pure in heart? Is this about perfection? What does the promise that we will see God mean? To wrestle with these words, we look at Psalm 51 and Psalm 139 as we continue our series, “The Kingdom Manifesto”

Blessed are the Merciful

The word is for merciful in the beatitudes is only used one other time in the New Testament, used to describe Jesus himself in Hebrews 2:17. We are meant to see that Jesus is the very embodiment of mercy. So what does Jesus say is mercy? What does this beatitude reveal? We dig into this as we continue our series "The Kingdom Manifesto".

Blessed are those who Hunger & Thirst for Righteousness

How do understand Jesus' words that bless those who hunger and thirst for righteousness? What does that word really mean and how are we to apply it to our lives. We uncover what scripture says about this as we continue our series in the beatitudes.

Blessed are the Meek

Meekness is weakness. Or something to that effect. We typically don't look at meekness in a positive light. But Jesus says the meek are blessed, in-sync with the way of his kingdom. How do we understand meekness and what does God say in His Word? We look at this disregarded quality as we continue our series in the beatitudes.

Blessed are those who Mourn

We don't talk much about mourning in our lives. We might accept it as an emotion for certain circumstances but we don't embrace it. And yet. Jesus says those who experience grief in their lives are in sync with the kingdom of God. How can this be? In this message, we consider how mourning is evidence that Jesus' way is taking root in our lives.

Blessed are the Destitute

The beatitudes are 8 qualities that Jesus says will define those who follow his way, starting with those who are poor in spirit. What does it mean to be poor in spirit? Why does Jesus begin with this beatitude? How can we know it we're embracing this in our lives? We dig into these 3 questions as we begin exploring qualities that are part of Jesus' way to subvert the world's way.

Who Do You Say That I Am?

What is my identity and what is my purpose? Two questions that our world has a lot to say about and two questions that God has a lot to say about in scripture. We dig into some questions around these topics and seek to bring clarity and truth to our lives.

The Kingdom Manifesto - Jesus' Way to Subvert the World's Way

Jesus came with a provocative message, announcing: “repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand” And what Jesus began to teach served as his manifesto, calling individuals to follow his way. What is this call for our lives? We kick off a new series that will take us through the Beatitudes, providing context and shape for what is to come…

Why Do We Gather? Pt.2

We conclude the second part of our message "Why Do We Gather?", continuing to ponder this question in light of scripture and God's desire for His people.

Why Do We Gather?

In the first of a two part message, Pastor Paul invited us to think deeply on the question: Why Do We Gather? In culture where we can pick and choose from diverse online options, why would we bother with gathering together in a local church? How do we consider this in light of scripture?
