This week Lead Pastor Matt Dean teaches through John 1:14-18.

This week Lead Pastor Matt Dean teaches through John 1:9-13. He reminds us of what it means to be a child of God and the life that comes from our adoption as sons.

This week Executive Pastor Lee Cadden teaches from John 1:6-8. He reminds us to be on guard against the religion of self-worship and to look to Jesus as the light of the world. The great privilege and responsibility of all who have life in His name is that you can no longer remain an ambassador of self, but you must bear witness to a dark world with all of your life.

This week Lead Pastor Matt Dean continues our series in John's Gospel. He takes a look at Chapter 1:1-5 and reminds us that to have life in His Name, we must believe in the truth of Jesus.

This week we begin a new series that will take us through the entire year. We will be studying deeply through John's Gospel and looking at what it means to have life in Jesus' name. Matt reminds us that to have life in Jesus is to be redeemed by Jesus, forgiven by the work of Jesus, and made alive by Jesus. In other words – to have life in Him name is to have Jesus. He is the gift. He is the goal, and He is the reward.

Seeing Jesus — and our whole life response to bring glory to Him. That’s the goal. May there be GREAT GRACE  upon us all – that we too would posture ourselves first generously before God, and then from that generosity of His grace to us, that we would posture ourselves generously before one another, now and for then, with the certain hope we have because of eternal life with Him. 

This week Lead Pastor Matt Dean concludes our series on generosity. He reminds us that when people see Jesus – generosity is not difficult, unless money is more important to them, but you need to know, even if that’s you today, repentance and obedience is always an option for those who follow Jesus. God is truly able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

This week Lead Pastor Matt Dean taught from Luke 12:13-34 and reminded us that our treasure is in Jesus Christ. Earthly treasures are temporary and fleeting, but Jesus is forever. Therefore we must set our minds now on what will be then and live in generosity and good works while keeping our eyes fixed on the only source of life, Jesus.

This week Executive Pastor Lee Cadden concludes our series on the book of Romans. He finishes the journey we began 16 weeks ago by reminding us that we are fully alive in Christ, “wise to what is Good and innocent to what is evil” and that we should posture our lives around this truth.

This week Lead pastor Matt Dean picks up in Romans 14. He teaches what The Word says about Christian Liberty and reminds us that instead of passing judgment along to each other (about disputable matters), let us pass on words of encouragement and lives of mutual joy in Jesus and one another. Let us hold firmly to the essentials of our faith and pursue unity with one another. So then let us pursue what makes for peace and for mutual upbuilding. The goal is living in harmony for the glory of God.

This week Lead Pastor Matt Dean continues our journey through the Epistle to the Romans. He picks up in chapter 13 this week and reminds us that in view of God's mercy because we have one true King – we can honor authority over us to the best of our ability as we increasingly align our lives with Jesus. Because we have one true King – we are called to walk as God’s chosen ones – holy and beloved. How we live truly matters - how we love one another truly matters - and with eternity in mind – in word or deed – we are to live in Jesus name with thankfulness to Him.

This week Lead Pastor Matt Dean teaches through Romans 12. He leads us through the following response to God's mercy in our lives.Here’s my whole life (from You) so now I know that all that I am and all that I have is from you God.  You chose me. You saved me. You awakened my heart to see you and believe. You called me yours. You accomplished my salvation. You gave me righteousness. You are my Peace. You are my eternity. And (through You) I belong to the Church and with your people - You have given me gifts to use in the gathered Church and with the community of Christ followers.  God help me live by faith through the promises you have given me, God help me serve selflessly through the strength you have given me, God help me give generously through Your provision for me, God help me care for others through the capacity You have given me. God help me love people in my life through Your life in me. (to You) in this broken world I know there will be hardship, suffering, opposition, and hard choices — but I offer

This week Lead Pastor Matt Dean picks up in Romans 10:17 and brings us through the end of chapter 11. He reminds us that God is sovereign over salvation and that applies to all people and our response is worship. For from Him and through Him and to Him are all things. To Him be the glory forever.
