Becoming and Being the Body of Christ

Romans 12:4-18

February 11, 2018 • Pastor Justin Keogh • Romans 12:4–18

What comes to mind when you think of the church? Do you think of the church as a temple, a family, a priesthood, or a body? All of these metaphors are used in scripture to describe the new reality that is formed when we, by God's grace, through faith in Christ, become believers. These metaphors describe the deeply interconnected nature of our new life together. Today we'll look at how we're made into a new body and what that means for us living and serving together.

Persevering to the End

February 13, 2022 • Pastor David Parker • Hebrews 12:1–2

How we think about the last day of our lives has tremendous implications for the decisions we make every day, and the trajectory of our lives. This morning, we’re going to look at Hebrews 12:1-2, and explore how this passage admonishes us in how to persevere in the faith and make it to the end.

A Message for God's Messengers

January 2, 2022 • Tim Shao • Jeremiah 1:1–10

The Old Testament lays the foundations of God’s story of redemption. As God’s New Testament people today, the Old Testament is our family history. Today, we will look at the prophet Jeremiah, who was one of God’s messengers in the Old Testament. We will study how God called Jeremiah, and consider how we have more in common with him than we might think.

Seeing God Clearly

January 3, 2021 • Pastor Adam Sinnett • Matthew 5:8

We unpack one of the most simple, yet profound statements in all of the Bible—Jesus’ call to purity of heart and the subsequent promise of seeing God in Matthew 5:8. What does it mean to “see God”? What does it mean to be “pure in heart”? How does that impact how we understand our life, the genuineness of our faith, and the single-mindedness of our hearts? These are worthy questions to ponder as we enter into a new year!
