#8: Grow Together

February 27, 2022 • Brad Parkhurst

We choose to walk together, sharpening each other to become more like Jesus. This is non-negotiable; we don’t want any of us to end up comfortable and stay where we are when God is calling us all into maturity and deeper intimacy with Him. We set our eyes on becoming Fully-Connected Disciples and leading others to do the same, together.

THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT //
Though we live in a dark world, the future is always bright in the Kingdom of God, and in this church! We're spending this season talking about where we are, where we're going, and how we're going to get there, in Jesus' name.

#1: Privileged to Serve

January 9, 2022 • Brad Parkhurst • Matthew 9:35–38

In this church family, we see serving as a privilege. To be used by Jesus as his hands and feet is a beautiful responsibility. Serving proves our faith, cultivates humility, and leads us to fulfill the Great Commission.

#2: Raising Up The Next Generation

January 16, 2022 • Jonah Salyers • Psalm 78

Young people are NOT "the Church of tomorrow", they are the Church of today! Jesus has called us to raise up the next generation, teaching them to know, trust, and obey God, and inspiring them to live a life that counts for Jesus. THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT // Though we live in a dark world, the future is always bright in the Kingdom of God, and in this church!

#3: Authenticity

January 23, 2022 • Brad Parkhurst • Psalm 139

When the enemy has you in the dark, it's easy to believe that you're alone, things are hopeless, and nobody would understand. Bringing our struggles to God and to other people can be uncomfortable, but Jesus promises us that freedom and healing are always waiting for us on the other side. THE FUTURE'S BRIGHT // Though we live in a dark world, the future is always bright in the Kingdom of God, and in this church! We're spending this season talking about where we are, where we're going, and how we're going to get there, in Jesus' name.
