This morning was our last Sunday in the Civic Center. We have called it home for the last two and a half years. As we prepare to move into our building on NW 23rd St., we look back a remember how thankful we are for all that God has done. What is it that God has taught you in this place? (Joshua 4:1-7)
Read More"Carpe Diem" - Tim Mannin
Sometimes life can seem as though we are pushing against the wind, but there are moments when those winds change and we must seize the opportunity in front of us. As we begin this new chapter in our church, we ask the question... who in our life needs this gospel? (Acts 1, 2, 10)
Read More"God With Us" - Tim Mannin
The Body of Christ (Week 8) "God with us" isn't intended to be a comforting statement, it is intended to awaken the reality of life beyond the everyday monotony of survival. (Acts 3, Romans 8)
Read More"Generous" - Tim Mannin
The Body of Christ (Week 7) Tackling the sometimes difficult topic of giving in the church, we discuss why God created giving, and find that it is not for Himself or His church, but for you and your heart. What are we giving and have we been faithful with what we have been given? (Luke 16, Gen. 4, Mal. 3)
Read More"The Church is a Movement" - Tim Mannin
The Body of Christ (Week 6) We are part of a movement. The Church is the most significant and powerful movement in the history of the world. We see examples of the apostles allowing their faith to cost them. Are we willing to pay the same price? Are we willing to stand? (Acts 5, 2 Corinthians 11)
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

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)
Read More"At Risk of Atrophy" - Tim Mannin
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)
Read More"It's Not Over Yet" - Kaleb Kinney
The mission is not over yet! Whether we've experienced miraculous things or difficult times, God's mission is still moving forward. What is the next step for you? (2 Kings 2, Luke 24)
Read More"Washed By The Word" - Tim Mannin
What does it mean to be washed by the word? We have a genuine hope in our lives that we would honor God, but we struggle by living a life of duplicity. We must let the word into our life and be washed by it in order to live a life of simple purity. (James 1:5, Luke 10:41-42, Psalm 109:105)
Read More"Beyond" - Tim Mannin
in Grateful
Grateful (Part4) Words have a power in our lives. How we use them can change every situation we are in. What words do we use when we talk about God? How do we describe Him? He is BEYOND words. (Gen. 1:1, Rev. 22:21)
Read More"For The Storms" - Tim Mannin
in Grateful
Grateful (Part 3) There will be challenges and storms in our life and faith. In the midst of those storms, how do we pray? In the belly of the fish, we see Jonah praying a prayer of thanksgiving. What has God rescued you from? (Jonah 1 & 2)
Read More"You Are Not Alone" - Tim Mannin
in Grateful
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)
Read More"A Grateful Life" - Tim Mannin

We have corners of sin in our life that can take over rooms and if left unchecked, eventually overtake our house. How do we shine light into that darkness? (Luke 22, 1 John 1:5-10, 2:1-6)
Read More"The Gospel Divides" - Tim Mannin
Living 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)
