Following God's Family Blueprint
The apostle Paul told the Ephesians that their family relationships could be restored to God’s intent by submitting first of all to the Spirit and then to one another becoming the family that God designed. We can follow four steps to God’s blueprint for the family and experience the blessing of oneness and being a light to this world for Christ.

Sacred Marriage: God, Design and Display
Join us this week as we begin a five week teaching series on marriage. Marriage is treated casually and aimlessly in our culture. But God has a different view of marriage. In fact, He is the creator of marriage. He has given it a sacred purpose. As we launch into this series we begin with God, His design and His displaying purpose in marriage.

Gifts
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.

Created for Community (some audio difficulties this week)
These days, there is an appetite for spirituality and a huge distaste for "church." Is this really what God wanted? The church was intended to be a dynamic, life-giving movement of people who experience and extend the love of God together. In fact, Jesus said that you can't be spiritual on your own, that the spiritual life is something we do together. If you catch a glimpse of God's dream for doing life together, we are convinced you'll never want anything less.

Toppling the First Dominos - Part 2
At the launch of The Ark Community Church we seek to see God's path and purpose for our church.

Will you be the firstfruits for God whereever He has placed you?

Science & Faith: Allies or Adversaries?
Have you ever wondered whether belief in God makes you unscientific? Let's be honest... does belief in God mean you're naive and stupid, not up with the times? A lot of people think so. Maybe you've been told science is for smart people and faith is for blind people. Is that true? We're going to go on a journey today, a journey of discovery, to see whether we have reason to hold unswervingly to belief in God in an age of science. The good news is that as you dig, you'll find God is deeper still. Science and faith do not have to be adversaries, but can and should be allies. In fact, good science can bring you closer to God. Let's jump in! Key Passage: Hebrews 11:1-3
