Jesus, Traditions, and The Mess of It All

Mark 7: 1-15, 31-37

Jesus is confronted by religious leaders of his day who were concerned about how His disciples did not wash their hands and follow their man-made traditions. Traditions can be a beautiful thing, especially if they lead to intimacy with God and others. Yet, Jesus showed the hypocrisy of the religious leaders devotion to rules over closeness with God and love for people. Watch Tyler Gorsline explore how Jesus' healing touch enters into the mess of religiosity and the brokenness of our lives, and how God provides us with a vision for deeper love and closeness than we've ever known before.

You Don’t Need A Bucket List

A future of love and hope, where sickness, disease and death is no more. So, if this is true, what does mean for our present life today?

Finding Life in a World of Death

September 4, 2016 • Tyler Gorsline

Jesus dies. His followers are going to his tomb to put the finishing touches on the death of their hope. What they find is staggering. The grave is open and Jesus is gone. This scene leaves us asking what are our expectations about life and death? According to the Natl Institute of Mental Health says that 68% of us fear death, and we often live lives of perpetual anxiety. Is their more than YOLO? Is their more than just dying and going to heaven? Can we truly live resurrected lives starting now on earth as it is in heaven? Lives of resurrected power? Check out this sermon from Tyler Gorsline to hear more.

We are all Ryan Lochte

All of us are searching for meaning, hope and forgiveness. We all aim to “become something” and will often distort things in order to achieve this. Jesus Christ came to bring us life and meaning with the ultimate act being his crucifixion on the cross. Come to discover this together.
