• About This Series
  • The book of Acts isn’t about what happened after Jesus lived among us. It’s about what happens now that Jesus lives in us. People from all walks of life find a new identity. At the intersection of these new lives, a community emerges unlike any the world has known before. And through sacrifice, courage, and generosity, this community makes its mark on every other community. And it’s how the world is changed.

• About This Series
  • It is not good to be alone. We are better together. We are wired for connection, for relationships, for friendships. So let’s talk a bit about how friendship works. How do friendships start and grow? How can we lean in and find more meaning and joy in our relationships? And most importantly - How is God present and at work through our friendships?

  • The Brand is Love3/31
  • Branded by God4/7
• About This Series
  • Companies want to create a permanent association between their product and our desires – wealth, power, and pleasure. We live in a branded world. We are branded people. Which is one reason Jesus seems more and more remarkable. He didn’t choose wealth, power and pleasure. No, he chose poverty, sacrifice, and suffering. This is the mystery of Easter: we remember the day a crucified man became the Lord and Savior of the entire world.

• About This Series
  • Work, then rest. This is the rhythm of life the Bible suggests. The one that matches how God wired us. The one that will allow us to thrive. In this new teaching series, we’re going to talk about Sabbath (shorthand way of saying work, then rest), not as a random command, but a habit that leads to more joy, lasting peace, and - Can you believe it? - better work.

• About This Series
  • We’re turning our attention to Genesis 1-11 because many of our biggest faith questions start here: Why am I here? Why is life so hard? Why are relationships so attractive and frustrating at the same time? Why does God allow so much suffering? These are not unanswerable questions. You just have to begin in the beginning.
