Authentic Faith
Join us this week as we identify distinct characteristics of authentic faith from the final passage of Jesus' Sermon on the Mount. We are challenged to reflect on what authentic faith looks like and to answer 4 tough questions. 1) Am I on the broad or narrow road? 2) Am I listening to and following the right teaching/teachers? 3) Am I truly in a relationship with Jesus? 4) Am I obediently following Jesus, or do I simply admire His teachings?

Baptism Sunday at Charis
We celebrate the baptism of 4 individuals at Charis. In a short message, we learn about God's saving grace through faith in His Son, Jesus, and what it means to be baptized as one of His followers as an obedient response to the Gospel.

What Kind of Father is God?
There may be no title for God in the Bible that describes His personal, intimate, and loving nature better than "Father". In fact, Jesus describes God to His disciples as "your heavenly father", revealing the intimate context of the relationship Christians are to share with God. In this message, we continue studying Jesus' Sermon on the Mount and learn what kind of father God really is.

Judging Others
"Judge not..." was a command given by Jesus to each and every Christian in regards to the way they view other people. At the heart of Jesus's command was something far deeper than simply making external changes in the way we view or treat others. We find Jesus consistently wants us to look inward to see where the problem really lies. This week we examine an often-quoted passage of Scripture that is sure to devastate egos and self-views, yet provides the only solution available for addressing our hypocrisy in the Gospel.

Do Not Be Anxious
Some statistics show that anxiety-related illnesses attack almost 18% of our US population. So, what causes you to be anxious? How do you currently handle the anxiety you have? How did Jesus handle the times of anxiety He suffered? Join us as we answer these questions and more as we return to our series on the Gospel of Matthew. We'll examine God's plan for dealing with anxiety versus the empty strategies we often pursue.

Charis Life: Growth (Part 2 of 2)
The topic of church growth often assumes a horizontal or vertical focus. Horizontal growth usually involves the number of people coming to your church. And, it's assumed bigger is better. Vertical growth tends to focus on each individual and their relationship with God to the exclusion of the rest of the church. In our second message of a 2-part series on life at Charis, we explore what it means to grow as a community and the impact that can have on both horizontal and vertical growth.

Charis Life: Unity (Part 1 of 2)
We are encouraged in the first part of a 2-part series to understand the depth and transforming power of the unity God has called us to as individuals and a church. This unity impacts our view of ourselves, our fellow members, and the community around us. By God's grace, through faith in Jesus, we learn what it means to "live a life worthy of the calling" as a church.

Heart Treasure
What do you treasure above all else? What things in your life are non-negotiable for your happiness? For some, the answers to these questions might be their careers, checking account balances, comfort, size of their home, their families, and the list goes on and on. Each of us are guilty to some degree of giving these things, which ultimately fade away, a priority in our hearts that God meant only for Him. Join us this week as we evaluate how dangerous these "treasures" can be and how God shines His light for us to see.
