    1 · When Nobody Seems to Notice High school can make you feel invisible. You walk down a hallway packed with noise, and somehow nobody really sees you. They see the grades, the jersey, the hoodie, the attitude— but not the you underneath it all. You start to think maybe the world runs on ...read more

    What is the missional church? How does a church transition to being missional? What do missional Christians look like and act like?

    Last week we started a new series called an elemental church. We looked at God’s dream for a church and talked a little about the dreams that we have for our community. In the past few years, the word missional has picked up some steam and become somewhat of a buzz word among pastors and ...read more

     | 8,324 views

    Heart problems abound in our culture. In a society so fast-paced as ours, heart problems are inevitable. But there is another kind of heart problem which is even bigger. You may call it blindness of the heart.

    Ephesians: Our Identity In Christ Part 4 Eyes of the Heart Ephesians 1:15-19 For this reason I too, having heard of the faith in the Lord Jesus which exists among you, and your love for all the saints, do not cease giving thanks for you, while making mention of you in my prayers; that the God of ...read more

    Baring The Fruit Of The Vine

    Contributed by Randy Stephenson on Jan 23, 2012
     | 3,442 views

    Jesus calls true believers to bare the Fruit of the Spirit. Are personal attitudes needing to be dug out so you can bare fruit?

    Mark 1:14-20 One of the problems about baring the fruit of Christ is the hardness of our attitudes. Four early disciples of Jesus were fishermen. They had attitudes about their skills and profession that Jesus wanted to use for the glory of God. But they had to do some digging in the hardness of ...read more

    Jesus meets us in our deepest thirst, heals our shame, fills our emptiness with living water, and transforms us into storytellers of grace.

    WHEN THE WELL FINALLY DRIES Most of us carry a thirst we don’t mention out loud. We keep going through the motions, juggle responsibilities, stay productive, and hope nobody notices the cracks in our souls. Sometimes we hide those cracks even from ourselves. This woman did. She kept walking to ...read more

     | 7,448 views

    Our purpose is not to build a great church, but to reveal a great God.

    His name was Simon, but his friends called him Peter. If we translated his name into our language we would probably call him “Rocky” or “The Rock.” Peter was one of Jesus best students—one of his closest followers. He had heard most of Jesus sermons and parables. He had been present for most of ...read more

There are so many decisions to make, so much pressure, so many competing voices yelling their version of “truth” into our ears every day. It is incredibly easy to feel like we are ...read more

    God calls us by name, not by our failures. When our confidence ends, His grace begins, restoring identity, worth, and hope.

    There are some sermons that come out of study, and some that come out of history, and some that come out of doctrine… But every once in a while, a sermon comes out of the quiet places inside the soul.
