Jesus is telling a story to challenge us to choose. What will we build our lives upon? Because we’re all building a life – and it’s your foundation that matters most – adornments, accessories & architecture mean nothing if the foundation can’t hold you up. It starts with a decision to choose Jesus over all other philosophies and plans available or offered. Growing your faith is the ongoing choosing to build your life on Jesus – his ways, his teachings, his life being the model & foundation, one decision at a time.

Each One Matters
May 28, 2017 • Pastor Jack Schull
Distance is a part of life - it can be measured, counted and even felt. But God doesn't like relational distance - so He put in motion a plan to bridge the gap of relational distance by sending Jesus. Jesus is the Good Shepherd who searches for everyone - because Each One matters. We're now to invite others closer to the Good Shepherd by leveraging our life: Found People help find people. *Parable of the Lost Sheep in Luke 15:1-7
A Sharing Heart
May 21, 2017 • Pastor Jack Schull
In this week's parable Jesus is asked to play referee, but as our Savior he turns it and tells a story to highlight the pull of greed and to warn us about its dangers. The parable is the story of the Rich Fool (Luke 12:13-21). The problem wasn’t that the guy was rich or that he had extra – the problem was: he didn’t know WHY. Jesus challenges us to have our hearts shaped to match God's heart of generosity. Principle: when I’m blessed with MORE than I need – it’s to partner with God in blessing someone IN need.
