This week we move to unpack more of John 3.

This week we continue to unpack John 3:16.

This week we continue to unpack John 3:16 by diving deep into what it means to actually believe.

We continue talking through John 3:16 this week as we focus on loving the world as God loves it.   What stops us from loving others and how do we truly live in love as Jesus?

Nicole Unice shares the next message in The Gospel of John series with the focus on one of the most well-known verses in the Bible, John 3:16.   Nicole focuses on how just 4 words from the verse, "For God So Loved" impacts our faith and how we share love.    "Love is always expansive."

We're back for part 2 of the Christianity and Politics sermon. Wags shares on our house rules as a church to love others, our city and engage in political issues as faithful followers of Jesus.

This week and next, we're taking a break from The Gospel of John series and focusing on our faith and politics as we near another election. Wags leaves us with 2 questions from this week's sermon to think on- Are you more concerned with "losing your country" than misrepresenting Jesus? Does my view of politics show that I am seeking a kingdom outside of the conservative/progressive rhetoric we're operating within?

This week we're talking through what it means to be born again from scripture in John 3 and how God has designed us to live into who we're designed to be.   Thanks for listening!

This week, we're talking through if our passions are in the right place. Wags shares from John 2 on the story of Jesus in the temple courts and left us with 2 questions-   Based on your daily routine, what are you passionate about and what sacrifices/compromises are you making to pursue it? Would Jesus come in and flip over tables or say well done?

We celebrated 10 years together as a church on Sunday *cue confetti and cheers*!!!   Wags shared on looking towards the possibility of what God has in store for our lives next as we don't stay fixated on the past but keeping looking towards the future. God's not done yet!   "Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, the new creation has come: The old has gone, the new is here!" 2 Corinthians 5:17

There is more to the story to the miracle that took place of Jesus turning water into wine... Wags shares from the Gospel of John about our faith as a joy and a blessing.   "If God never puts limits on us, why do we put limits on God?"

This week, Nicole Unice shares the next message in our Gospel of John series. She guides us through both the book of Genesis and the Gospel of John to compare the questions that we are asked in our faith... where are you? and what do you want?   "Jesus knows who you are AND who you are going to be AND what you need... And he wants YOU to know who you are, who you are going to be and what you need."

We're starting our new series in the Gospel of John as we go through this book of the Bible.    "In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of all mankind." John 1:1-4

We've wrapped up our Rizzdom series before we start a new one next week! We're talking through who we are as a church and why we do what we do. Wags left us with 2 questions-  Does this make me more like Jesus? Does this make me love others more?

In our last week of the Rizzdom series, we're talking through what this compelling life means in discipleship and righteous living.   "The main thing God gets out of your life is not the achievements you accomplish. It's the person you become." - Dallas Willard

We're talking through how we love our neighbor well through how we examine our words, what we tolerate and our actions.    

Today we're discussing Proverbs 3:21-26  by focusing on God's provision and goodness as we process worry and anxiety.    "Unchecked worry and anxiety will make us unresponsive to the work of the Spirit."

Jackson Hicks shared our next message in the Rizzdom series focused on wonder and curiosity.   "When we embrace wonder and curiosity, we see God's vastness who is the creator of the universe and our personal God."

Corey Goss shares the next message in our Rizzdom series as we focus on what the Bible says about discipline, correction and conviction.    "Followers of Jesus can embrace discipline as proof of God's love"    

This week we're talking through how do we live a life of compelling generosity.   "What should rise in us is not a Christian's standard of living, but His standard of giving"

This week we're talking through how we cultivate humility in our lives and in our faith. Thanks for being with us!

"Our depth of our faith is determined by our trust in the character of God." Wags shares about our wisdom and trust in God go hand in hand and leaves us with a few questions to think over-   Questions about trusting God- How often do I go to Him first? What is my response when I don't get what I want? How excited am I to seek out what God desires? Do I know and appreciate how much God values me? Is there an area of your life where there is partial obedience
