We wrap up our series "How Do I Connect With God?". Learn how to put it all into practice.

Connecting with other people can be hard. What do you do when the person you're trying to connect with is God?!

Whether you believe in God or not, we are all wired to connect with the one who created us. We will be spending three weeks looking at how we connect with God and why it matters that you discover your spiritual pathway to connecting with your heavenly father.

This week Jared will finish the series “Be Orange”, looking at the yellow light of the church, shining out to the next generation, to help them win.

Helping the next gen win is one of the greatest privileges we have as the current generation. Two amazing gifts God has given us to do this is the family and the church. Not working in isolation, but together, with the red warmth of the home, and the yellow light of the church, coming together as a wonderful Orange to help the next gen win. This week Jared will start the series “Be Orange”, looking at the red warmth of the family, being impressed upon the next generation, to help them win.

We explore how when we try and fix the messes that come up in our lives we can end up overwhelmed and stuck. Hear what happens "when it won't go back in the box".

We finish our series, A Better Question. "What breaks your heart?" is the better question that will lead you to make your life more than just all about you. We are going to be putting our answers into action.

Did you know that two statements can seem to contradict but actually help us understand the world? A statement like 'Gaining is achieved through giving' can help us reach a new perspective and live fuller lives.

If you have ever asked yourself, "what am I going to do about me?", you can end up spending all your time making everything about you, and at the end of your life all you will have to show for yourself - is yourself. If you would like to experience a life filled with purpose and meaning, maybe there is a better question.

We can all feel excluded from time to time. Whether that is missing out on being picked for a sport, being invited to a social event, or feeling alone in a crowd, it is something that we all experience. Hear about the inclusive way of Jesus.

Josh shares about when we go through changes in life, there is always someone to help us through.

Kerry Pearce shares with us, Generous Giving - Best Investment.

As we head into the rush that seems to come with the Christmas season, what would life look like if we lived in a more slowed-down form of spirituality where our doing for Jesus flowed out of our being with Jesus?

Ed Devine shares with us.

What must one believe about the Bible in order to be a faithful follower of Jesus? We conclude our series, The Fundamental List.

Jesus' last words on Earth were to go and make disciples. Hear why this instruction from Jesus is not only good for the church but good for our world.

Engagement in the church is how we grow and how the kingdom grows.

If you have ever struggled with why God doesn't just let everybody go to heaven, then this week may be just for you. We look at our 5th fundamental, "Jesus died for my sin to reconcile me to God".

"Why doesn't God do something about _____?", is a big question that many of us wrestle with at some level. I mean, if we were in God's position we would have already done something about it by now. Learn about our 4th fundamental; Jesus promised justice in the end and invites us to trust him in the meantime.

One word that is not used much in our culture is the word sin. It can seem taboo, archaic, and out of touch with modern day thinking. Hear what Jesus had to say about sin and why it matters.

Jesus came to illustrate and demonstrate what God is like.

Week one we look at the first Fundamental Idea that is held by those that follow Jesus- Jesus is God's Son and our final King.

We were made to live this life connected to people. Listen to be encouraged as we look at how life is better together.

We conclude our Faith Full series by looking at what happens when life does not go as planned. It is in the moments of loss and grief or change where faith can grow or fall away. We focus on the fifth thing God uses to grow our faith, Pivotal Circumstances.

It is difficult. Moving in the same direction over a period of time to see change in our lives is not easy. We continue to see how trust in Jesus grows as we talk about Private Disciplines.

Josh continues the series, this week focusing on friendships.

When we get to use what little resources we have available to make a difference in someone's life it seems to make a difference in our life as well. Hear about how God grows our faith when we offer up what we have to him.

We are answering the question, how does our trust in Jesus grow? Hear how committed Jesus was to having his teaching applied by those that follow him, and this is good news for everyone.

One question I get as a pastor from time to time is, 'how do I ensure my faith grows?' Well, we are starting a 6-week series that is going to look at this question. It will be a chance to see how as a church we ensure that all who are a part of our community, from new to seasoned followers of Jesus, grow in their faith.

This week, we will continue our conversation about parenting. At the heart of every transgression, a relationship has been damaged. So, how can we coach our kids in the art of building and repairing relational bridges?

If you're a parent or have played a part in raising someone, you know the weight that comes with preparing a child for their future. Beyond just looking for parenting tips, learning to cast vision for a child's future can take them further than you can ever imagine.
