A new year, a new chapter, and a new building.... but is our goal accomplished now that we are here? We can not just sit in these chairs and expect for things to happen. Bringing life to our city in 2016 first begins with humility and asking for sight. (2 Chron. 7:14, Luke 18:35-43)

Read More"Carpe Diem" - Tim Mannin

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.

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

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"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)
