Pastors Rick Mckinley and Michelle Jones kick off our new series walking through the theology of our new mutualist position. 

The blessings God speaks over creation in Genesis 2 reveal His ongoing, life-giving care for us. Day seven of the creation story is a celebration of God’s creative work. We continue to observe this sacred pause in the rhythm of our work to remember who we belong to. Pastor Rick McKinley continues our series.

Pastor Rick McKinley continues our series, Genesis: The God-breathed Life. This week explores the activity of the Spirit of God in Genesis 1 and across Scripture. The same Spirit who turned a formless void into a world of creation is present with us today, bringing about new creation in us.

The world of Genesis resists scientific reduction and mythological fantasy. It is neither anti-science nor anti-mystery. Join us as we find ancient answers to the big questions still relevant today. Pastor Rick McKinley begins our series, Genesis: The God-breathed Life.

While what we celebrate at Easter—the resurrection of Jesus Christ—remains steadfast, we acknowledge that this year looks and feels different. For over a year, we have carried the burdens of worldwide sickness, deep loss, anxiety and polarization. We cannot gloss over these struggles, but we can create space for honest conversation and honest stories about who Jesus is. In our cultural moment, we’ve seen Jesus invoked to serve worldly agendas that differ greatly from the Jesus we see in Scripture—the One who set the ultimate example of unconditional love and radical reconciliation. We believe this real Jesus has real hope to offer us today. After you watch the service, we invite you to bring your questions, thoughts and curiosity to any of our follow-up opportunities.

The way we treat and relate to one another matters deeply because we are living witnesses of Christ to the world. Pastor Mike Dean concludes our series, Colossians: Christ Our Life. Call to Worship Prayer for our Schools, Parents, Kids, Teachers & Administrators: Spirit of God, We ask that You would grant us eyes to see and ears to hear the places You are interested in making much of our vocations. For the family of God, humble our hearts that we would put on love and thankfulness. Shape us into people who are constantly speaking wisdom and truth to one another for the building up of Your body under the headship of Christ. And by this love that we find in Christ, may we live wisely among those who do not yet believe in order that we might make the most of every opportunity. May all our words be gracious and attractive, so that many more will come to dwell in Your presence.

What do you put on when someone offends you? Spite? Anger? Those clothes don’t fit you anymore now that you are in Christ. Pastor Rick McKinley continues our series, Colossians: Christ Our Life, with a message on Colossians 3:5-17.
