We admit it. We have an agenda: we want you to join the church. All believers in Jesus in every time and place are members of the universal church, but committing to a local church is a vital part of the spiritual life for every Christ-follower. In our teaching series, CHURCH 101, we are taking several weeks to describe the foundational commitments of church membership. Our members are those who have accepted the mission of helping others become passionate followers of Jesus through the ministry and community of this church. Over the next few weeks, we will discuss what that means as we explore practically how we can live for Jesus as a part of His church.

Galatians 5.13-21: Through Love Serve Others
Those who have been set free by Jesus have been called to freedom, but that freedom can be used for different things. Today in Paul’s letter to the Galatians he gives us the purpose of freedom and how we can enjoy the freedom that Christ has given freely to us.

Experience The Impossible Part 1 - Called
In this series we'll explore the life of Peter - a life of one impossibility after another. Peter, an uneducated fisherman who denied Christ, but yet was told by Christ himself that, on this rock I will build my church. Matthew 19:26 says, "With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible." We believe that God has called us to live beyond the world of the impossible - beyond where problems seem insurmountable - beyond where situations seem hopeless and destined to fail. We do this through listening to His voice and staying connected to His Spirit. It is when we experience God in this way that we can truly experience the impossible.

Galatians 1.11-24: Disciple - be one, make one
The gospel is literally a joyful message. Paul encounters this joyful message on the road to Damascus. God called Him and revealed Jesus to His heart. In a moment the mystery of the cross and the empty tomb of Jesus was unveiled to Paul. Paul never recovered from that. He was changed. He was now a disciple. He was commissioned to preach, to make disciples. We are all called and commissioned as Paul was. Sure it looks different on how we have the Son revealed to us, but the story line is the same. We are chosen and called as the Son of God is revealed to our heart. God also calls us to a particular service for the equipping of saints for the work of service to the building up of the body of Christ. We are all called to be a disciple and to make disciples.
