    This week we start a new series called “A Contrarian’s Guide to finding the new you.” It’s built around the idea that we all want to change - we all have resolutions and things we want to do differently this year, but most of our stuff all sounds the same - (Get crowd response) Lose Weight, eat ...read more

    There is really one answer to a divided church and that is THE CROSS. It is the cross that reveals the love of God.

    Up to this point in the first chapter of 1 Corinthians we have been discussing the divided church. There is really one answer to a divided church and that is THE CROSS. So that is our focus this evening. Paul emphasizes in verse 17 that words of human wisdom are not the answer for a divided ...read more
