The Heart of God
It’s coming! It starts this week! A brand new sermon series that will explore the single most important concept in Christianity. This sermon series has the potential to change the way you see yourself, God, and life forever. It may be the most important series you’ll ever hear. Join us Sunday as we get started.
Yearning For God
Sometimes you hear people talk about having a “close personal relationship with God.” But what does that mean? And what does it look like? Is it just superficial happy-talk, or is there really something to it? This Sunday we’ll explore some very practical ways to build a connection to God that is deeper and more meaningful.
Fences
We hear every day that love is the answer or all you have to do is love. What do we mean when we say that? What does love look like? This Sunday we will explore what it means to love as Jesus did.

What’s Next For Me?
We’re all on a journey. Where are you on yours? As we move into another new year, now is a great time to pause and assess. That’s what we’ll do this Sunday, as Pastor Jeff shares a concept from both science and Scripture that will help each of us assess where we are, and what our […]
The Secret . . . Of The Shepherds
Every Bible story is meant to teach us something important about ourselves, life, and God – including the Christmas story. This week, as we prepare our hearts for Christmas, we’ll explore what God wants us to learn from the experience of the shepherds who were “abiding in the fields, keeping watch over their flocks by […]
What I Really Need For Christmas
How confident are you that God really loves you? Not the you that “you should be,” but the you that you actually are from day to day, with all your ups and downs. There is no greater gift than knowing, in the depths of your being, that you are infinitely loved. This Sunday, as we continue […]
Best Gift Under The Tree!
We’re in the midst of a sermon series called “Power Up! (on I Corinthians).” Our goal is to try to understand what made the early Christians so powerful. Each week, we’re looking at a different concept. This week we come to one of their most important sources of power for living – the idea that […]
Control Feak
How well do you do in relationship? Not just spousal relationships, but all kinds of relationships . . . with family, coworkers, friends? This Sunday we’ll look at the single most important principle for successful relationships — and apply it to the sensitive subject of sex – as we continue our “Power Up!” sermon series based on the New […]
This Body of Mine
As spiritual people, sometimes we get so focused on our souls, we forget about our bodies. We figure, “As long as I’m taking care of my soul, God doesn’t care how I treat my body.” But it doesn’t work that way. Body and soul are deeply interconnected. This week we’ll take a look at passage […]
Abundant Living
It’s one of those phrases you often hear spiritual people use. But what does “abundant living” mean? And how do we get there? That’s what we’ll explore this Sunday, as we continue our “Power Up!” sermon series.
