We, Not Me
One Another (part 1) - "It is all about me!" In modern American society so much emphasis is placed on the individual person. Everything is about customization to suite the specific needs of each person. Uniqueness and one's personal journey is prioritized above all else. Being a part of a community is only valued as far as it meets the individual's needs. This cultural reality can significantly impact the way we view faith, the church, and our walk with Jesus. Please join us as we explore our need for community and the importance of being connected to the church.
Pass It On
Living Proof (part 3) - The early Christian faith emerged from the disciples' conviction that Jesus was the promised Messiah, the one-and-only Son of God. Following Jesus' crucifixion and burial, we're told that "he showed himself... and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive" (Acts 1:3). But how can we, 2000+ years removed from the actual events, be sure God truly entered this world to save us? That leads to a second question: If Jesus is Lord, how can God use us today as witnesses for Jesus? Join us in this sermon series as we explore how YOU can be "living proof" of Jesus Christ!

I Am The Vine
Everyone wants a life full of satisfaction, happiness, joy, and beauty. We are all trying to find this in a variety of places: work, money, security, hobbies, relationship, and experiences. But at the end of day, these things cannot bring us true satisfaction – and we find ourselves running on empty. This is not a new problem, and people from ancient times to now have been trying to solve this problem. 2,000 years ago there was a man who promised an answer to this problem: his name was Jesus of Nazareth.
