The Other Side of the Gospel

March 12, 2023 • Matthew 28:18–20

Being a disciple of Jesus means we obey all that he's commanded. In The Great Commission Jesus challenges us to "Make Disciples." The way we do this is through life on life. We open our lives, set an example, and teach the Word!

The Praying Church

March 5, 2023 • Acts 4:23–31

When the early church prayed, they were filled with the Holy Spirit which led them to be boldnesses for Jesus Christ in the midst of opposition. The same applies for us today! When we as the Church gather to pray, God moves in extraordinary ways!

God's Plan for His people

February 26, 2023 • Acts 1:6–8

Access has been granted, so let's worship the King!

February 19, 2023 • Hebrews 10:19–25

Jesus is our great high priest; and since he gives us access to God's throne in heaven, through his shed blood on the cross, every believer should be all-in as a worshiper. We don't want to be a "shoulders-up" church, but want to love and worship our God with all of our heart, soul, mind, and strength.

The Treasure Principles

February 12, 2023 • Matthew 6:19–21

Our treasures belong to God. We can’t take them with us when we die. So, let’s invest in the unfailing kingdom of God.

Why Commit?

Doing Life Together

January 29, 2023 • Acts 2:42–47

A Biblical church must not only Preach the Word, and be centered on the Gospel, but also be devoted to one another. As Christians were called to be real and care for others needs all because God found us at our worst and welcomed us in.

Why Christians are Pro-Life

January 22, 2023 • Micah 6:8

All humans are created in the image of God. Therefore, babies in the womb have intrinsic worth. As a result, as Christians we should stand for right to life and also care for those who are considering abortion or have had one.

Preach the Word

January 8, 2023 • 2 Timothy 3:16—4:4

If we truly believe and live as if the Bible is God's Word, its power has the ability to transform our lives. Therefore, we must not only hear it, but heed it as well.

Of First Importance

The Gospel is essential for not only our salvation but also everyday life. In order for the Local Church to function as God's Word describes, we must keep the Gospel at the center.
