What Does it Look Like to Live Sent? 
 
God gives his people a clear mission: to go and make disciples. Yet, we are often hindered in this mission because our lose focus and sight of the goal of knowing Jesus and making Him known. ‘Live Sent’ is a declaration that we as believers are sent by God, carrying the good news of Jesus Christ. In this series we dive in to what it means to live on mission - to show His love in the culture around us to the people whom He loved enough to die for.

God Through Us After the last words of the Old Testament were recorded, there was silence. 400 hundred years passed without another word from God to His people.   Yet, the silence did not mean that God wasn’t working. Soon, every prophecy spoken by the prophets about the coming Messiah would be fulfilled, but most certainly not in the way that they anticipated.  In our sermon series ‘Fulfilled: How the Fulfillment of All Things in Christ Leads to Our Fulfillment in All Things,’ we see how Jesus is the fulfillment of every one of God’s promises to His people. We will look at how Emmanuel, ‘God with us,’ is the God who is ‘for us,’ and the God who works ‘through us.’ Ultimately, we will see how Jesus Christ’s fulfillment of all things changes everything for us.

An Important Distinction 
 
When we think about worship often we think of music, a specific tradition, or an event we attend. People have debated these things for some time. Certainly worship is more than just something we do once a week. 
 
What if there are some things we have gotten backwards about worship? Even more, what is worship really all about? 
 
The Old Testament prophet Malachi speaks a great deal on how we approach God in worship. In our new sermon series: ‘Malachi: The Heart of Worship,’ we will see what a heart of worship is and how everything about a Christian’s life is shaped by an understanding of who God is and what He has done.

Graduation is supposed to be one of the 'mountaintop' experiences for students as a milestone and culmination of years of growth and hard work. Graduations certainly looked different across the world in 2020! 
 
Thankfully, we have a God who doesn't just work on the mountaintop, but also in every single moment (big and small) in between.Today in services we look 1 Kings Chapter 19 and the life of Elijah as we see how God uses every step of our journey to make us more like Him and to accomplish His plans.

"The problem is not forgetting God intellectually. It is forgetting God morally." - James Montgomery Boice 
 
It can be so easy to say we 'believe' something, yet not live in a way that reflects that belief. Listen to this teaching from our sermon series on the book of Hosea. In 'Forgetting God' we see how living for ourselves and our own glory only compounds and grows our dissatisfaction. Only living gladly in Christ so that others will be glad in Him can truly satisfy the longing of our hearts.
