current sermon series

This fall, we're diving into a new series on the Practices of Belonging. Join us as we journey through Paul's 1st letter to the church at Corinth. Over the next 7-weeks, we’ll discover how the ways we engage can make or break community. We’ll be invited to become people characterized by love whose lives build up the body of Christ.

SUMMER IN THE PSALMS

The Psalms are the prayer-book of Scripture. Over the next seven weeks, these poetic prayers will paint a picture of the character of our God. Since the Psalms are poetry, we'll engage not only our heads, but our souls and mouths as we participate in corporate prayer practices that invite us into a fresh encounter with God. We hope you'll join us for this series every Sunday in July and August!

pictures of the kingdom

Join us for this sermon series on the Parables of Jesus! Jesus was a master storyteller – using everyday experiences to paint pictures of life in His Kingdom. Together, we'll embark on a journey through the teachings of Jesus as we make sense of some riddles and discern how these powerful stories allow us to see God and live life in His reality. 

to live is christ

The first church in Europe was planted in a Roman colony called Philippi, a city that was well-known for its patriotic nationalism and hostile toward the proclamation that Jesus was the true King of the world. As the Philippians face persecution and obstacles to faith, the words of encouragement they need come from Paul the Apostle himself... as he writes to them from a prison cell.

Join us this Lent as we discover how it is possible to find peace, joy, and contentment in the face of trials because of the new life we have in Christ. Through the Book of Philippians, we will encounter the Savior who humbled himself as a servant to the point of death on a cross and who invites us now into a life lived for His glory.

Called

Have you ever wondered, "Why am I here?" Have you ever thought, "Is there more to life?" The stirrings in our souls come from the One Who expands our horizons and invites us to join Him on a great adventure. Over this 6-week series, we'll reflect on the idea of "calling" through the lens of the Book of Exodus and unpack the encounter with God that changed Moses' life and a people's destiny.

the god who gives

What happened on that "First Noel"? What made it such a "Holy Night"? What good news did those "herald angels" sing about? We hear the Christmas carols every year, but amid the hustle and bustle of the holiday season, we may not pause to reflect on what they truly mean. These songs invite us to worship the God who was willing to give it all, including His only Son, to bring light and salvation to a world lost in darkness.

Over the four weeks of Advent (the Christmas season), we come together to celebrate the coming of Jesus our King and to share the hope He brings to a watching world. Join us for this new sermon series as we explore different aspects of the Christmas story and how they teach us to live humbly, intentionally, generously, and worshipfully.

Surprise! unveiling god’s plan for renewal

In the second movement of the book of Isaiah, we find the people of Israel returning from Exile and wrestling with how to make sense of what God's doing in a season of disorientation. In the aftermath of a season of idolatry and barrenness, God makes a surprising proclamation: He will bring about renewal for his people. Sinners are offered forgiveness. Outcasts are invited into the family. Prisoners are freed and welcomed home. Join us in a 5-week journey as we explore how God is at work in surprising ways to restore His People and bring about the New Kingdom and New Creation.

HEARING GOD

How do we hear God's voice? How can we be sure that what we think we hear is not our own subconscious? What if what God says to us is not clear?

As Dallas Willard teaches in his book on Hearing God, "Being close to God means communicating with him, and this communication is a two-way street—telling him what is on our hearts in prayer and hearing and understanding what he is saying to us. The key is to focus not so much on individual actions and decisions as on building our personal relationship with our Creator. Hearing God is but one dimension of a richly interactive relationship, and obtaining guidance is but one facet of hearing God."

This fall, we'll be diving into a new sermon series on "Hearing God" where we will look to the stories of Scripture and the lives of Christians to discover more about this mysterious but essential aspect of knowing and following God. We will also engage inweeklylistening and prayer practices as a community. Join us as we seek to foster a habit of attuning to God and develop a greater confidence in hearing God’s voice.

[LOVE] ONE ANOTHER

Jesus promised that his followers would be known by their love for “one another.” The Greek word for “one another” appears throughout the New Testament, and each description helps form a composite picture of what it looks like for us to live as the family of Jesus. Over this eight-week series we will explore the “One Anothers” of Scripture as we catch a vision for relationships marked by love.

REIMAGINING REST

God invented rest. As we enter the summer, our community is taking a fresh look at rest to discover how this Spiritual practice shapes us in Gospel truth. Join us as we explore how rest intersects with themes like surrender, connection, delight, and our relationship with our Creator. 

EASTERTIDE SERMON SERIES | ENCOUNTERS WITH JESUS

“Easter was when Hope in person surprised the whole world by coming forward from the future into the present.”
― N.T. Wright, Surprised by Hope: Rethinking Heaven, the Resurrection, and the Mission of the Church

The Resurrection of Jesus on Easter Sunday was God communicating to humanity that there is life after death―that the empty grave was the start of a new Creation, and in Jesus, humanity can begin to experience that life here and now.

Eastertide is the time where we explore the ways in which the resurrected Jesus is on a mission to reveal himself to his disciples and ultimately to the world. Through our "Encounters with Jesus" sermon series, we will walk with Jesus' followers post-resurrection, moving from a place of fear, doubt, and shattered hopes to a miraculous resurrection of hope, faith, and confidence in Jesus and his redemptive plan.

Our hope is that this series will build up our faith as we also encounter Jesus and are propelled forth in this world to pursue God’s coming kingdom.

LIFE IN THE KINGDOM

“Jesus makes it clear that the way to God is the same as the way to a new childhood. The innocence that is reached through conscious choices. The Beatitudes offer me the simplest route for the journey home, back into the house of my Father. And along this route I will discover the joys of the second childhood: comfort, mercy, and an ever clearer vision of God. It's a place where I can live in freedom without obsessions and compulsions.”
― Henri J.M. Nouwen, The Return of the Prodigal Son: A Story of Homecoming

This month, we are beginning a new sermon series titled "Life in the Kingdom" focusing on the Beatitudes found in Matthew 5:3-12. The Beatitudes are eight wisdom sayings that open Jesus’ famed Sermon on the Mount. Rather than viewing them as moral teachings or a self-help plan, the Beatitudes can be approached as soulful riddles that invite us into a new way of being in the world -- in deeper harmony with God and the world as God intended it. The Beatitudes call us toward a life that is less like this broken world as we know it and more like the Kingdom that is to come.
