Read MoreLiving The Gospel: teachings from the book of Luke (Part 7) The gospel is complicated and is transcendent above the differences we possess in life and personality. Is there a right way to live the gospel? Is there a wrong way to live it? Ultimately, it doesn't matter who you are, but rather, what path you are on. What are you compromising on in your life that could pull you from the narrow path? (Luke 24:36)

Living The Gospel: teachings from the book of Luke (Part 4) Who is it that we look at like our neighbor? Is society telling us that it is ok to stereotype someone and hate them because they are different? We must be a church for both the sinners and the saints.

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)
Dream Wildly (Part 6) Many of us think of God's will as a balance beam that we are one mis-step away from falling off of. However, living in God's will is more about walking by the Holy Spirit in your everyday life. Instead of worrying about "someday," how are we submitted to the Holy Spirit today? Walk by the Spirit and it will lead you into the dreams that God has for you. (Gal. 5:25, Acts 1:8, 2 Sam. 6, 1 Cor. 2:9, Phil 1:6)
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)
Dream Wildly (Part 4) Sometimes we can look alive and be dying inside. In these moments we are often afraid and focus on what we don't know rather than what we do know. It is in fear that we limit the limitless one. Live awake, be wide awake for what God has for you. (Jer. 1:5, Phil. 1:6, James 1:23-25, 4:17, 1 John 3:18, Rev. 3:2, Joshua 14:7-12)
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)
Dream Wildly (Part 2) Your dreams must begin with God's will, but we often feel as though we are searching for the needle of God's will in the haystack of life. However, living in God's will is less about what you do and more about who you are. (1 Thes. 5, Rom. 12, 1 Peter 2, Matt 6, Gal. 5, John 3)
Dream Wildly (Part 1) Beginning a new series on dreams and what it means to discover them, we start with God's dream for us as believers to experience His love and power. His Spirit is here and ready to be poured out. It is time to turn from our inherited expectations and allow His Spirit to give us new dreams, new perspectives, and new possibilities. (Acts 2:12-32)
The Lord's Prayer is a powerful prayer with many layers to it. This morning we slow it down and collectively spend time in prayer as we open up each section of this passage. (Matthew 6:5-14)
In the middle of the difficulties of life, we often ask the question "why" and feel as though God is not coming through for us. In the story of Job, we are reminded of God's faithfulness and provision. He speaks in the midst of the storm. (Job 39, 40)
The Cross (Part 3) There is wonder in creation, it proclaims who He is. Who is God in your life? We often treat Him as though He is common, but He is beyond description. Therefore, if we follow an uncommon God, we should lead an uncommon life. (John 21:4-14, Luke 9:18-20)
