The Gospel and the Church

What is the Church?
If you were a kid growing up in church, you inevitably learned the rhyme, "this is the church, this is the steeple, open the door, see all the people!" Well, that's wrong.

In this first message at Park's Crosby Campus, Jackson Crum shares the truth that the Church is people who have been called out of darkness and into God's glorious light.

Remember to Live
The people of Israel were about to move out of the desert and into a land that lacked nothing, according to the Moses. The only thing that could spoil it all for them was if they forgot the Lord in the process. Things are the same today as they were then. No matter what we possess or what our surroundings look like, life is pretty empty without the presence of God in the midst of it all. It's easy to forget the Lord when our hearts and minds are captured by our wealth. Listen as we look at one way we can help ensure that we remember the Lord and in so doing, remember to truly live.

The Call For Authentic Servanthood
There is a big difference between the idea of a perfect church and the reality of it, between the idea of authentic servant hood and the reality of it. It’s easy for a church of authentic Christians to become selfish, ingrown and distracted from its purpose, so we need to guard against this problem by integrating Biblical principles into the practice of Christ-like servanthood.

A Worshipping Community

If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.
