This week we followed up with another sermon in the series, “A Consuming Fire”, in which we are looking through various passages and books within Scripture all with a goal of being open to God our Refiner. “May we experience a purifying and indwelling of the consuming fire of God.” A purifying that changes us and an indwelling that empowers us. Notes from Sunday's Sermon:The Psalmist is longing for “home”.In the presence of God is a joy like no other.In the journey, with all its ups and downs, is abundant joy.Once you have constant access to something it can become undervalued no matter how valuable it actually is.Do we ache for God like that?

In the fourth week of our series, “Wholehearted”, Pastor Jeni preaches on the power of fear within our lives and how it can hold us back from living wholehearted lives with God. We take a look at the power dynamic between King Saul and David after David is anointed by Samuel. Through this lens, we discover the importance of having trustworthy individuals in our life that can call us out when we are not walking the path of God's best for our lives. Notes from Sunday's Sermon:Fear is a powerful motivator.How is fear keeping you from wholeheartedness?Living wholeheartedly means remembering that God's ways are higher.Living wholeheartedly means choosing the higher way.Jealousy, Fear, and Anger when left unsurrendered impede our wholeheartedness.Who are the people in your life who you have given the green light to be corrective?

Pastor Jeni Hall is back with us once again to preach the sermon as we discover how peace can exist deep within us because of Jesus Christ; a peace that surpasses understanding. Things to consider as you listen:We do not become chaos immune when we choose obedience to Jesus. We live in this anticipatory Shalom - we live expecting and awaiting the day when all will be made right.We are most like our Father in heaven when we not only live at peace, but when we bring peace to spaces.We don't just dine in peace at the table in the midst of chaos, but often God asks us to scoot over & make room at the feast of peace for our enemies.

We are kicking off a new sermon series this week titled, “The Journey Deeper”. This series will be all about spiritual disciplines that shape and form us. We will be discovering God's best for us through 8 spiritual disciplines found throughout Scripture. Pastor Jeni introduced our first practice this week, “Sabbath and Solitude”. Join us for a wonderful first week in our new series.*There will be a resource list at the bottom of this page.Things to consider as you listen:The regular, rhythmic practices of a Jesus follower become the trellis on which their life in Christ grows. Be WITH Jesus. Become LIKE Jesus. DO what Jesus did.The invitation before us is to engage in these practices both alone and together.God rested.The first day for the first humans was a day of holy rest with God.The world tells us we earn rest. The Good News tells us God gifts us rest as a testament that our worth is 100% defined by who God is & what He does, not what we do.A day of holy rest has been a part of God's design since the beginning.Sabbath - “to stop”The Sabbath is a 24-hour period set aside to stop, rest, delight, and worship. An ancient way to find rest for your soul.STOP - The deliberate decision to disrupt the undertow of demands that never end. REST - The deliberate decision to set a different pace for the day.DELIGHT - The invitation to make space for the things that bring joy.WORSHIP - The deliberate decision to make this day an act of worship before the Lord.SOLITUDESolitude - a taste of sabbath rest every dayThrough solitude, we're invited into Jesus' pattern of retreating from distractions to be fully present with the Father and returning to serve in community.

This week is the final week in our series on The Apostles Creed. For this week, Pastor Jeni has us look at A TON of Scripture looking at the section of the Creed on, “I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, & the life everlasting.” Join us for this exciting conclusion to a wonderful sermon series on The Apostles Creed.Things to consider as you listen:1) Christ was seen by many in his resurrected human body.2) If Christ rose from the dead, we will too. If he didn't our Good News isn't very good.3) Our bodies are buried in brokenness - marred by the residue of sin, but they will be raised to life as whole & complete images of God's good design.The Life Everlasting is coming when we will be with God forever, experiencing the beauty of his good design for the earth & humanity.
