We continue to explore what it means to be God’s people doing God-things in God’s cities.

GoTC – 4
Help, I need somebody. Help, not just anybody… Who doesn’t need some help every once in a while. How far will you go to help your friends in need. Listen to this story of some friends who tore a whole in a roof in order to get their friend in front of Jesus (Mark 2:1-12). […]
GoTC – 3
As we continue to explore how we can be God’s people doing God-things, we look at Matthew’s story in his relationship with Jesus (Matthew 9). In going after hearts, Jesus wasn’t afraid to step into the mess – including breaking bread with collectors like Matthew. By stepping into the mess, Jesus met Matthew where he […]
Grace

Seeing As God Sees – Part 2 & 3
If we are to love as God loves, we must see as God sees. But what does that look like? Ezra had the gracious hand of God upon him because he spent time studying the Word, putting it into practice and teaching it to others (Ezra 7:10). This series explores these three ideas and provides tools […]

Ever wonder why church? Maybe you think about why you go every Sunday or maybe you think about why would anyone go to a church.

Embrace: Part 6
John Smith delivers the closing message in the Embrace series with a strong and challenging message – Love Never Fails. God’s message is for everyone and we are called to love one another. And whoever does not know love does not know God, for God is Love (1 John 4:8).
Embrace: Part 5
This week in the Embrace series turns to Jonah to see God’s ability to love even through the haters. Jonah went to amazing lengths to avoid God’s will – Jonah knew God is a loving and merciful God yet Jonah had nothing but hate in his heart for the people of Nineveh. Jonah held so tightly to his […]
