God’s Will For 2024
At the beginning of a new year it is natural to look forward, to make goals, to clarify vision and direction for your life. For disciples of Jesus, seeking to grow in vision in life is centered around discerning, knowing, and walking in God’s will. In this message we learn from the Bible what God’s will is for 2024 and how we can faithfully walk in it together!
Advent Conspiracy: Love All
Advent Conspiracy is about having an intentional plan and purpose to celebrate Christ during Christmas, rather than mindlessly indulging in the consumerism of our culture that has overtaken the Christmas season, spending ourselves into debt, exhausting our time and energy on things that actually distract us from Christ. Our Advent Conspiracy is an intentional re-orienting of our hearts to celebrate Jesus this Christmas. Love is the central theme of the Christmas story! In this message, we learn from Jesus how we can celebrate Christmas by loving others as he has loved us.
Advent Conspiracy: Give More
Advent Conspiracy is about having an intentional plan and purpose to celebrate Christ during Christmas, rather than mindlessly indulging in the consumerism of our culture that has overtaken the Christmas season, spending ourselves into debt, exhausting our time and energy on things that actually distract us from Christ. Our Advent Conspiracy is an intentional re-orienting of our hearts to celebrate Jesus this Christmas as we Worship Fully, Spend Less, Give More, and Love All. In this message we challenge assumptions we unknowingly hold in our gift giving and seek to imitate the way in which God gave to us in that first Christmas: intentionally, relationally, and personally.
Advent Conspiracy: Spend Less
Advent Conspiracy is about having an intentional plan and purpose to celebrate Christ during Christmas! It is about an intentional re-orienting of our hearts to Christ, letting go of traditions that actually take our focus away from Jesus during Christmas and fully embracing the wondrous moment when Jesus entered our world to make things right. When we allow Christmas to revolve around accumulating more money or possessions, barriers are raised between our hearts and God’s command to love Him and others. So in this message we learn from Jesus how to guard against covetousness, comparison, and consumerism regarding money and possessions so that we might experience the true life of peace, hope, and joy.
Mic Drop: The Life
Jesus claimed to be “the way, and the truth, and the life” and that “no one could come to the Father except through him”. That statement is a Mic Drop in a world that says there are many ways to “god”, truth is relative, and life consists in worldly things. In this message we discover in a fresh way that Jesus is the sources and sustainer of life, and are guided in practical ways we can “take hold” of life in Him.

Anxious For Nothing: Talking About Jesus
In Christ Jesus it is possible to live a non-anxious life! However, living anxious for nothing is not just about us experiencing greater peace and joy in life, but Jesus calls us to not be anxious so that we can be a conduit of his life to others around us. Speaking to others about Jesus has the potential to stir up anxiety in us, yet Jesus, knowing this, teaches us that we don’t need to be anxious about what we will say, for the Spirit of God promises to speak through us.

Apostolic Prayer: Courage
Jesus taught us to pray for God’s Kingdom to come and will to be done on earth as in heaven. For the people of God to live this out in the world, COURAGE is required! In this message we look at a prayer for courage that early followers of Jesus made while facing opposition to the kingdom of God and ways of Jesus.
Apostolic Prayer: Sanctification
Jesus taught us to pray for God’s Kingdom to come and will to be done on earth as in heaven. For the people of God to live this out in the world, they must be different than the world. So in John 17 Jesus prayed that all his people would be sanctified (holy, set apart, different) in the truth. Jesus then died on the cross so that his people would be sanctified, not conformed to the pattern of the world, but transformed from the inside out.
Apostolic Prayer: Love of God
Jesus taught us to pray for God’s Kingdom to come and will to be done on earth as in heaven. One of the defining characteristics of His Kingdom is LOVE…love for God and love for other people.
