Discipleship

The Advent season provides an opportunity for us to grasp the wonder of Christ’s grace, presence and peace and the hope we have through His birth. Join us for the four-part sermon series “God and Sinners Reconciled” as we explore the first chapter of Colossians and explore God’s character, heart and desire to live among us through Jesus. This Christmas, let’s remember Christ’s birth, sacrificial death and return to glory—the facets of the Advent season that lead to the best gifts we’ll ever receive—a restored relationship with God and life everlasting.

Christianity began with a small group of Jewish people in a backwater town 2,000 years ago and grew to become the largest faith group in the world. The Gospel spread quickly, and it continues to move and grow as faithful believers share the hope that is in them. Join us for “Sharing Hope,” a four-part series that explores the ways the Gospel creates hope and how that hope impacts our lives, our community, our church and our world.

Join us the first three weeks of April as we focus on Jesus’ death and resurrection and what that means for us.

In “Set Free,” part one of the Galatians series, birth truth—we are justified by faith alone in Jesus Christ alone—was explored in thorough defense of the one and only true Gospel message. In part two of the series, “Live Free,” we will delve into identity truth—we are children of God—and the profound freedom we have in Christ Jesus. Christian liberty, which is derived from these two truths, is the fertile ground on which we can live in the fruit of the Spirit. If we live a Spirit-controlled life by faith in the sanctifying grace of God, we don’t have to return to the bondages of this world. We hope you will join us for this eight-part series and come with open hearts and minds and the desire to live free in Christ Jesus.

Have you ever wanted to share the Gospel with someone but couldn’t do it? What holds you back? What are you afraid of? We need to remove those fears because Jesus commands us to love one another, and sharing the Good News of Jesus is one of the most loving things we can do. Join us Sunday mornings for “Relational Evangelism,” a four-part sermon series that includes honest conversations about what holds us back from sharing the hope of the Gospel. The series will also cover how God can use all of us, no matter how broken we think we may be, to spread his Word and how we can intentionally build sustainable relationships with others as a first step to sharing the Good News.

Celebrating Advent remind us of the grand scale of Christmas, that Jesus descended from His throne in heaven to be born as a human baby in a stable, knowing that ultimately, He would die on a cross for the sins of the world, rise from the dead and ascend to heaven on the third day. He now wears the crown of the King of Kings and will one day come back again. This five-week series focuses on the Scriptures that tell this story and will help us reflect on the true meaning of Christmas and the hope, love, joy and peace Christ offers each of us.

Worship is a natural human expression written in the code of our DNA. We were all created to worship beyond the walls of a church building. However, we can easily worship the things of this world rather than to the Creator of all things, leaving us thirsting for more. In the Gospel of John, Jesus addresses the topic of worship with a Samaritan woman at Jacob’s well. This divine encounter opens her eyes to the source of true worship found in Him.

Discipline is often strived for at the start of the new year. But motivation and discipline are two very different things. Do you fall back into patterns of choosing what you want now over what’s best for you in the long run? Don’t lose hope. There is a Greater Reward waiting for you. Discover how to let go of the status quo and stay focused on who God says you are and what He wants for your life. This January we will study spiritual disciplines and how they can strengthen your walk with Christ and your relationships with others.
