This is message two of four messages that will be equip you to share the gospel using four words & four stories that illustrate it. This message brings home the powerful point that the Gospel is God's unconditional acceptance of you into His Kingdom , into His family & into His mission. This truth comes alive through the story of the woman accused of adultery. Christ's acceptance of her baffles the woman's religious accusers and brings astonishing relief to her. In Christ all are accepted. The gospel is a call to embrace & enjoy this life changing reality!

You Give

October 3, 2021

Using the story of the feeding of the 5000, this message invites us all to think and act from a heavenly instead of an earthly perspective when addressing problems in our communities.

Eternal Life Here & Now

We are about to enter the part of our sermon series where we’ll learn to engage our neighbors with love through our actions and our words. This message pauses to recalibrate our understanding of some of the most misunderstood topics of the Bible: Heaven, eternal life, salvation & the kingdom of God. This will allow us to engage our neighbors with greater clarity, confidence & purpose!

Holy Eating

September 5, 2021

Communion ought to be a time of celebrating Christ’s finished work on the cross. It ought to be a time when we proclaim his victory over sin and sickness. Yet for many, communion is a time of navel-gazing self-examination. It’s a time of asking, Am I good enough for God? Am I worthy? Jesus said “take this cup in remembrance of me,” but we often drink in remembrance of ourselves. This is a misplaced focus. Communion isn’t about you but him. So where's the confusion coming from? It's a misreading of the grace Apostle's letter to the Corinthians, chapter 11, a passage that I will unpack in great detail in my message entitled, "Holy Eating".

Dirty Eating

August 29, 2021

Are you an influencer or the influenced? The magnetic influence of Jesus after 2,000 years truly defies explanation. But the reason for His influence does not elude us . How was Jesus able to entertain dinner guests that were considered the absolute worst that Jewish society had to offer at the time while maintaining His integrity, focus and identity? This message provides the powerful answer which can make all who listen carry the same magnetic influence that Jesus exuded.

Clean Eating

Begin With Prayer: Perspective

July 18, 2021 • Bryan Finley

How will we ever see our communities transformed by the goodness of the Gospel? We must begin with prayer! However, if we begin praying for our neighbors from the wrong perspective, we may be guilty of "praying" curses rather than blessings! Using the story of Peter's vision in Acts 10, we will realign our perspective so that we can RECLAIM our neighbors as God's people!
