In this message Pastor John urges us to see our church as our family. The church is a healing community, a home base for our children, and a place for singles to find and create family. The church is also a place for older adults to invest. We are reminded that Israel was God's family, and that in the New Testament, the early church became a place for spiritual mothers and fathers to live out God's mission in the world. Pastor John encourages us not to be passive "passengers" at church, but to see our church body as a family and to participate as a family member.

June 21, 2015 • Annie Thaichareon & Pastor John Lo
In this sermon Annie, our Children's pastor, and John give us a vision for why our kids are so important to God's mission and the life of our church. We learn that God is in the midst of equipping the next generation to lead out prophetically. We need to honor and value the role of our children in our church family.
Parents for the 21st Century
June 14, 2015
In this sermon, a pastor shares candidly about his experience parenting 3 kids and living out his commitment to God's mission in the world. We learn that parenting is really discipling kids to grow in maturity and knowledge of God. We also learn that healthy families are adult centered and not child centered.
Godly Women for the 21st Century
June 7, 2015 • Pastor Debbie Sayovitz
In this sermon Pastor Debbie gives us a vision for what it means to be a godly woman in today's generation. While the voices of media and pop culture bring expectation that women can "do it all," and "have it all" and simultaneously look effortlessly flawless, the Bible gives us a different vision for femininity: one of freedom, contentment, and submission to God's leadership.
