Our Core Values
Not Difficult
October 29, 2017 • Chris Edmondson • Acts 15:1–31, Luke 19:10, Luke 15:4, John 3:16
Most people don’t have a problem with God. After all, plenty of people show up for church on Christmas and Easter. Unfortunately, people do have a problem with the church. For centuries Christians have made Christianity so complex that people simply write it off as irrelevant and confusing. In this session we’ll see how this problem surfaced in the very early days of the church, how they dealt with it then, and how we should deal with it now.
Generosity is a Heart Issue
October 22, 2017 • Dr. Carlo Serrano • Matthew 6:21, Exodus 24, Exodus 25:1–4, Exodus 36:2–7, 2 Corinthians 9:6–8
“Since you excel in so many ways—in your faith, your gifted speakers, your knowledge, your enthusiasm, and your love from us I want you to excel also in this gracious act of giving.” - The Apostle Paul (1 Cor. 8:7)
Life is Better Connected
October 1, 2017 • Chris Edmondson • Hebrews 10:24–26
Small groups are where people come together on a regular basis and “do life” together. This allows us to genuinely connect with others while being encouraged and challenged in our relationship with God. Being involved in a small group is the simplest way to impact and influence people directly for Christ.
This Is Us
September 24, 2017 • Chris Edmondson • Luke 19:10, Luke 15
People who were not like Jesus liked Jesus, and he liked them back. Since the church is the body of Christ, people should be drawn to Jesus followers. Even if they don’t agree with the message of the church, they should like the church. So, why isn’t that true?
