Stepping into God’s Story - Episode One

January 14, 2024 • Pastor Glenn Garvin • Genesis 1:1–5

Whether you’re an introvert or extrovert, introducing yourself to someone normally doesn’t include a bunch of “stats-n-facts.” Usually, you tell a story. You lead with a story because you’re a person, God leads with His story because God is personal and wants us to know Him. This week, let’s step into God’s big story and find out who He is, who we are, and (most importantly) find out who we are in Him.

March 10, 2024 • Pastor Glenn Garvin • Ephesians 4:15–16

How many times have you gone somewhere to eat or gathered at a party and had some “first impressions” of your experience? We are fairly fickle folks, aren’t we?

Being the ambassadors of Christ, how are we doing at speaking or behaving like Him? Let’s discover some ways we can embody Jesus in the world around us.

Stepping into God’s Story - Episode Seven - A New People

March 3, 2024 • Pastor Glenn Garvin • Matthew 13:31–32

Like a mustard seed, the kingdom of heaven did in fact start VERY SMALL; imperceivable by almost everyone at the time. However, in our fast-paced culture and world, it’s easy to devalue small beginnings. Think about this: Jesus launched His new mission and vision with just a dozen guys. After His death, His followers grew to 120 and then within a few days exploded into 3000 people. How? Let’s talk more about it on Sunday and what it means to be “A New People.”

Stepping into God’s Story - Episode 6 - Jesus

February 25, 2024 • Pastor Glenn Garvin • Matthew 1:1

How do thousands of years of epic earth history culminate in just one person’s birth, life, and death? How does the life cycle of one individual on this planet affect every other human being ever born? How do all of the Old Testament stories find their fulfillment in New Testament? This is how…God planned it! It all comes together as one big, impactful, life-changing story because of Jesus. This Sunday we’re talking about how Jesus is enough. In fact, he’s more than enough!
