"Go & Tell" Sermon Series - When Jesus invites us to know Him and follow Him, it is a very important invitation! He is inviting us to eternal and abundant life in Him, while inviting us to join His mission. We are never more like Jesus when we are inviting others to experience His life-giving hope! This week, as we look into John 4, we will learn much from "The Jesus Invitation".

"Go & Tell" Sermon Series - A lot of our walk with Jesus is consists of us fighting our own struggles and trying to keep our feet on the narrow road. But there is so much more to being a follower of Jesus! Not only are we to walk close and clean with Jesus, but we are to be on mission together in order to share the message of Christ's love with a world that needs transformation. This week we will consider Paul's words in 2 Timothy to always be prepared to proclaim His message! We also will look at the confidence and boldness Peter has when he shared the gospel at Pentecost. Join us this week as we  learn how together we can be "Intentionally Telling the Good News"!

"Go & Tell" Sermon Series - In Acts 17, we find Paul engaging with the people of Thessalonica with the gospel. He used the scriptures to reason with them and lead them to faith in Jesus! This encounter teaches us vital lessons on how to receive and teach the scriptures. All in all we must consistently learn how to be "Connecting People to Jesus"!

"Go & Tell" Sermon Series - Beginning this Sunday, we want to explore the command to "GO" on a deeper level. We know Jesus tells us to go in His great commission. What we struggle with the most is the "how" behind going. What does Jesus mean? What does this look like for the church? What does it look like for each believer?

"The Message of Easter" - This is a time in which we mark the beginning of the passion week, the last days Jesus would walk the streets of Jerusalem, ultimately being led to Calvary where He would give His life for us on the cross. This worship service is a collection of scriptures and worship songs that tell the story of the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus! It's literally the gospel celebrated by God's people together!

This is the most important Sunday on our calendar = Resurrection Sunday! It's well known to the world and frankly sometimes too well known to the church. We know what it means and we know the events that took place on Easter. What difference does Easter make? The events and accomplishments surrounding Jesus, the Son of God, changed everything. The implications of Resurrection Sunday are foundational to our faith, and necessary for our future. Join us this Sunday at we celebrate the resurrection of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and ask the question, "What Difference Does Easter Make?"

Final Message in "The Essentials for Every Believer" Sermon Series - In closing out this sermon series, we will be looking at the essential of being a witness for the gospel! Before Christ ascended, the last command He gave was for us to be "witnesses". What does it mean to be a witness for the gospel? In essence, Christ is asking us to be the evidence, the transformed lives that show the world the good news of what He's done!

"Essentials for Every Believer" Sermon Series - Last week we discovered together, "The Essence of True Fellowship"! What did fellowship look like in the early church? The model given us there must now carry over to the 21st Century church, so that true biblical fellowship can be experienced. This week we find ourselves in Hebrews 10, where the writer not only turns our attention towards the implications of the gospel on the church, but also calls us to action on how we respond to fellowship. Join us this week as we look at "The Foundation and Fruit of Fellowship"!

"Essentials for Every Believer" Sermon Series - An essential for believers that is often overlooked and not emphasized is fasting. Jesus not only spoke of fasting but also practiced it during His ministry time here. What is fasting? Is it necessary? What do we accomplish when we fast? Pastor Louie Giglio says, "When we fast, it is creating space through the withdrawal from earthly appetites in an intentional and concentrated effort to access the things of God (and God, Himself) for satisfaction of the soul and supernatural breakthrough." Join us this week as we look at "Developing a Desire for God"!
