10/20/19  Jordan Rice  John Series  John 1:35-51 One of the first questions Jesus asked people who would follow him is a question we would all do well to wrestle with: "what are you looking for?" What you do matters, why you do it matters even more.

10/13/2019  Chris Travis  John Series  John 1:1-18  We change by receiving both grace and truth from Jesus. Not 50/50 but 100/100.

10/06/2019  Jordan Rice  John Series  John 1:29-36  Whether you're religious or not, there are ways that we all seek to rid ourselves of guilt—by beating ourselves up or trying to minimize wrongdoings. In this message, we’re looking at forgiveness, the one thing we all need and struggle to receive.

09/01/2019 Aswan Morris "Community" Growing Up Series 1 Peter 2:4-10 We often think we can grow on our own. If we work harder or discipline ourselves more we will do more. But the only way we grow is in community. However, community is not something we cleverly fit together, it is formed around two key elements: shared identity and shared mission. When either or both are missing you just have a bunch of individuals piled up. God calls us to be a community that displays Him as He shapes and reshapes us to be that community with one shared identity and one shared mission.

08/25/2019  James Roberson  "Painted Face Religion"  Mixtape Series  Mark 11:1-14 Jesus called Pharisees hypocrites, but at that time hypocrites were what we would understand as mimes. People who paint emotions on their faces to create a look for other people.

08/18/2019  Chris Travis  "Something Better Than Happiness"  Mixtape Series  1 Kings 19:1-7  What makes life worth living? The pursuit of happiness is fine, so far as it goes. But happiness comes and goes. If happiness is the point, where does that leave us when tragedy strikes? A bad diagnosis, an economic downturn, a painful divorce, a betrayal. Everyone faces hardship eventually. What makes it worth it? In the life of Elijah, in his darkest moments of despair, God gives a glimpse of something even better than happiness.
