United in Surrender | Jonathan Pokluda
What does it mean to be “united in surrender”? In this message, we talk about how we can all be united through surrendering ourselves to God. Maybe the greatest thing you could hear is that you’re not actually following God, and maybe understanding that will help you start following God. We are united when we surrender our sin and our lives to him.

United in Love | Ben Stuart
What does it mean to be “united in love”? In this message, we talk about how we can all be united through the love of Christ, even though our lives, our circumstances, and our sin all looks different. But Jesus and his love for us can overcome all differences. The truth is, we’re in a difficult place. But the Bible isn’t about making bad people good, but about making dead people alive.

United in Worship | Jefferson Bethke
What does it mean to be “united in worship”? In this message, we talk about how we can worship God being aligned with his story, and by understanding what it means to be a human as an image bearer of God. If you’re a human, you have a story. It’s impossible to be a human without a story. We’re all captured by a story, and we can be united in worshipping God when we are captured by his story.

What does it mean to be “united together”? In this message, we talk about how as humans, we were created for connection, and we’re designed to live in community. But at times, we wait on everyone around us to initiate, when we can initiate too. Jesus is a master initiator, and we can look to him to be our example.

United in Truth | David Marvin
What does it mean to be “united in truth”? In this message, we talk about how the Bible isn’t a self-help book, and the Bible isn’t about us. The Bible is about Jesus, and he is the main character from beginning to end. We can be united in truth when we realize that the Bible isn’t about us individually, but it’s about Jesus who unites us all in his love.
