Loneliness
Are you too busy to invest in relationships? Or is your busyness an attempt to cover over an ache of loneliness? Scriptures tells us we were created with a hunger for relationship that we cannot escape or deny. Through Jesus we can enter into relationships with a desire to serve and deal with disappointment.

Community is...
God commits to make a people for Himself. This is His plan, to redeem a “people,” not just individuals. We’re not saved to be isolated individuals. This church, His people, our community, is what Christ died for and it is what we are saved into. The story of the Bible is the story of God fulfilling His promise to be our God as His people. So how do we do community? We do this by calling you into a messy community life where you “devote” yourself to learning the Gospel in fellowship with one another. This is not clean and tidy, but messy and disorganized at times. It isn’t a program to be attended, a curriculum to be mastered, but instead a life to be lived as the Gospel comes and regularly breathes new life into our wandering hearts.

The Making of A Man Part 2
A godly father will never stop checking on how his kids are doing. Sometimes our mere presence brings children into control especially male children. Men can teach what they know but will be followed for who the are. Men do not ever think your walk with God is not being watched.

A Divine Community
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.
