One of the greatest joys in the life of a Christian is to pour over the pages of the Bible and, by God’s grace, discover what He is like. We learn through Scripture that there is one God, and that this one God eternally exists as three persons – Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

Throughout this epic trilogy series, we'll be dedicating time to intimately unpack the nature, character, and specific works of each facet of who our God is. To know Him is to love Him more deeply, and for that reason, we’re going to devote ourselves to studying and worshipping the "Three In One”.

Every weekend at church we do a lot of different things over and over during worship services. Things that don't really make sense to the rest of the world, but we do them consistently as we meet with other Christians and as we meet with the Lord. But do you know why we do them?

As we sing, we preach, we confess, we take communion, we commission one another to go out into the world, let's take a moment to reflect why these practices are important and how to get the very most of everything that we do together... when we meet.

What gets the award in your life for what you love most, what you find to be the most ultimate thing? What do you place your identity in more than anything else? What’s your first place? What’s the #1 idol in your life?

As we come off of the celebration of the resurrection, We want to think about some practical ways that the resurrection could actually change our life. One way is to ask a simple question: If Jesus is the true and almighty king of the universe, who’s acceptance and love for us surpasses everything else… then the logical question to ask is, what’s keeping me from experiencing that love and acceptance?

Hence, our new teaching series, asking the question: “What are the idols in my life? What have I taken that was good and made ultimate? Where am I trying to find my value and my identity?”

Before we can celebrate Easter, there's someone very important we need to get to know first: This Is Jesus. To get to know Him better, we're looking to the book of Luke which is all about Jesus.

The first part of Luke answers the question—who is Jesus and how to get your mind around Him. The second section answers the question—what does it mean to follow Jesus, and get your will around Him. The third section aims at our hearts as we long to wrap our hearts around Him, all so we can boldly claim who He is: This Is Jesus!

The story of Christianity doesn’t begin with Jesus in the manger or Jesus on the cross, but with God creating the heavens and the earth. In this series, we will go back to the beginning, to Genesis 1-3 specifically, and consider the origin of some of life’s most important features and what our response to them should be.

Over the course of this 10-week series we will consider a God-centered response to science & creation, the environment, work, rest & recreation, marriage, gender, family & procreation, and finally... the problem of evil and God’s response to it. The goal is that we will see Genesis as Scripture, not to be cast aside as fable and fairytale, but as a guide and gift that ultimately drives us to God and helps us make sense of the world and our part in it.
