Revival Starts Within (Week 7) Jesus desires unity for us, yet the world we live in is more divided than ever. In this message we talk about the dividing realities of our culture, and how a culture of revival is one of unity, one-anothering, and oneness! What are we cultivating with our lives? (Mat 13:24-26, Jn 17:20-24, Hb 13:1)

"Jesus Loves Parties" - Tim & Christie Mannin
in Jesus.
Jesus. He changed everything about everything (Week 44) This morning we discuss the example of hospitality and acceptance that Jesus showed through grace, love, and generosity. Are we living out our lives in this way? Are we radically inclusive to all that we share our lives with? Are we feeling the conviction of building and creating community the way Jesus did? (John 2, Matt. 9:10-13, 25:35-36, Luke 14:12-14, 19:5, Mark 12:30-31)
Read More"They Broke Bread" - Tim Mannin
The First Church (Part 4) The gospel is expansive and free. We as a church desire to lead our culture, but we can't lead it through violence and hostility. We must lead through building relationships and the breaking of bread. This morning we hear stories from others in our church about the importance of community, building relationships, and breaking bread together. (Acts 2:42-47, Matthew 26:26-28)

Philippians (Part 9) Everyone loves a great ending to a compelling story. In today's message we look at Paul's final words in his letter to the Philippians.

in Philippians
Philippians (Part 5) In the verses we study this morning, we see Paul referencing the Exodus story and how the Israelites complained and grumbled. In so doing, they were so caught up in the mud of their circumstances, that they missed the miracles around them. They had forgotten how far God had brought them. In Paul's letter, he encourages them to stop their grumbling and shine like the stars of the universe. (Philippians 2:14-16)
Read More"Humility" - Tim Mannin
in Philippians
Philippians (Part 3) The root of self-centeredness is so deep and pervasive in our lives that we often don't know how to take the first step towards humility. This morning we are implored to challenge our self-centeredness by beginning to pray differently, focus on others, and value our community. (Philippians 2:1-11)
Read More"The Pursuit of Life on Life Community" - Blair Humphreys
Bringing Life To Our City (Part 8) This morning we welcome guest speaker Blair Humphreys as he discusses what it means to be connected to the people around us. Often times we find ourselves living in silos of separated community, but what this city needs is people to share their lives with each other. The Church is called to be soul on soul, life on life community so that others are truly known and truly loved. (Thes. 2:8)
Read More"The City Saved The Church" - Tim Mannin
Bringing Life To Our City (Part 3) As we read in Acts 17, we see how Paul addresses the city after he first understands it. How is your story connected to the bigger story? Your life isn't about you, but about the endless possibilities of the gospel through you. The city invites you and the gospel into it, everyday. (Acts 17)

Each of our families are unique and different, and no matter what role you play in your family, we have been challenged to carry out the mission of Jesus. We all own the role of creating the culture in our family, and this morning we ask for strength and courage to do so. (Joshua 24)

This morning was our last Sunday in the Civic Center. We have called it home for the last two and a half years.

Read More"Becoming The Body" - Kaleb Kinney
The Body of Christ (Week 5) As a church, we are called to be the body. We must all value ourselves as equal in our roles within this body, for it is His church and His kingdom that we are advancing. What is it within the body that you are called to do? (Romans 12:1-21)
Read More"Is The Church A Family?" - Tim Mannin
The Body of Christ (Week 4) Is the Church supposed to be a family? Is "Family" a word that we attach to a church just to feel nice? How can we grow deeper in what it means to be a Church Family?
Read More"Place & Passion in the Body" - Tim Mannin
The Body of Christ (Week 3) We talk about serving in the church, but rarely talk about the spiritual gifts. We ask for energy, devotion, and love, but don't ask "who are you becoming" or "what are your spiritual gifts?" We must not reduce ourselves to small meaningless existence in the Body of Christ. Everyone matters and is needed. (1 Cor. 12:1-7, 12:24-27, 14:1, Eph 4:11-16, Mark 10:42-45, John 14:12-17)
Read More"Making Disciples" - Tim Mannin
The Body of Christ (Week 2) We have come a long way as a church in the last 2 and 1/2 years, but what stories are missing from our story? What do we want to see in our church moving forward? We must be about making disciples. We are an organism, not an organization. (Matt. 28:18-20, Eph. 4:11-16)

The Body of Christ (Part 1) A good church does not simply "happen." The church needs you. It needs everyone, working together. Within all of us, there is something that beats quietly in the background of our hearts that is calling us to more. (John 10:10, Rev. 1:10-11, 3:14-20)

Grateful (Part 2) You don't have to do it all on your own, God designed this world for us to be dependent on others. To be grateful, we must first be humble. Who are you thankful for in your life? (Rom 12:4-5, Heb 1-:24-25, Phil 2:3-5, Psalms 139)

"The Great Wall" - Tim Mannin
Living The Gospel: teachings from the book of Luke (Part 1) In society, we build walls and tell God where He can and can't go. Living the gospel deconstructs walls and carries the good news of Jesus everywhere we go. (Luke 5:27-32, 6:6-11)
in Dream Wildly
"The Body Of Christ" - Tim Mannin
Dream Wildly (Part 5) Just as children grow as they get older, we too as the body of Christ must continue to hunger and thirst for God as we grow in our spiritual maturity. As a church, we must all be dreaming about what it means to live into our potential within the body. (Eph. 4:11-16, Psalm 63:1-8, Matt 5:6, Romans 12:4-5)

"Crushed Dreams" - Tim Mannin
Dream Wildly (Part 3) What sin in your life is your Achilles heel? It can be the smallest of things that crush our dreams, but God gives us the strength to stand firm and to overcome the enemy. (Heb. 12:1, 1 Pet. 5:5-8, Phil. 4:8, 1 Cor. 10:13, Rev. 16:20)
