Praising God (Psalm 8)

It provides adequate support for walking in rough, rocky stretches and stability for the slippery spots. In this exploration of the Psalms, we will see that no matter where you find yourself in life there is an appropriate faith response to your life situation. Are you ready for the hike?

Priceless Photos... Valuing Life from the Cradle to the Grave
If the Bible is correct, then you and I are far from accidental. We have intrinsic value because we are made Imago Dei – in the Image of God. And the truth is, you will never know who you are until you know who’s you are. Your value, and the value of those around you, will never ultimately be found in the world’s eyes, but through God’s. It’s our prayer that God will change how you see yourself, and change how you see everyone else around you. He wants us to realize the priceless photos we come in contact with everyday, from the cradle to the grave and everywhere in between. Key Passage: Genesis 1:26-27

Gospel-Centered Marriage
If Jesus is the reigning Lord of heaven and earth, then discipleship (true Christianity) is measured not simply by what I believe, but by how I live my life in relation to the rule of Jesus in my marriage. Is the gospel the center of my marriage? If not, what is? Why do I believe these other things, idols, should be at the center of my marriage?

We the Church: Engage Culture
Often times there appears to be a gap between church and culture, our 'spiritual' life and our 'real' life, but this isn't how it's meant to be. God is Lord over all things, the ruler and maker of all creation.

Making Life Work - Speak Truth
More than stating facts, speaking truthfully is about being a reliable and faithful friend over the long haul. Speaking truthfully must be done with love and the ultimate purpose of leading people toward the healing and redemptive power of Jesus.

One Picture is Worth 1,000 Words
Whether "never-married", divorced, widowed or otherwise "single-again", over 40% of the North America adult population is single. When the church teaches and emphasizes the critical role of the "family", we often forget to talk to this huge population who are not currently married. While the Bible upholds the sanctity of marriage and promotes a healthy family life as the key unit of society, it also has much encouragement to individuals who are not married. The unique contribution that a single person can give for the glory of God makes it a life worth celebrating and exploiting. Rather than seeing singleness as "2nd best", can we celebrate the gifts and opportunities God gives to those who are doing life "solo?" Key Passage: 1 Corinthians 7:32

Gospel-Centered Singleness
Gospel-Centered Singleness Singles are often times categorized in the church -- "not yet married." This makes them seem "incomplete" or "second class" at times. In the first message of the Gospel-Centered Home series, we take an in-depth look at gospel-centered singleness. The gospel calls singles to embrace their current state of singleness as a gift from God in order to maximize their effectiveness for the gospel. What does this mean biblically? Practically? What are the obstacles? What are the solutions?

The Superior Christ (Romans 5:15-17)
From Adam we have inherited sin, guilt, condemnation, and death. But in Christ and by his death we receive so much more than mere restoration of these things. We receive not only forgiveness, but justification, the very righteousness of Christ. And we receive not only life, but eternal life, victorious and reigning life.

From Adam to Christ (Romans 5:12-14)
Adam and Christ both represented groups of people. Adam represented all humanity and through him we all sinned and die. Christ represents all those who believe in Him, and through him we have obeyed and live. It may seem unfair that Adam's sin be counted as our own, but it is equally "unfair" that Christ's righteousness be counted as ours. By grace through faith in Christ, salvation is offered to all of Adam's descendants.

Making Life Work - Trust God
The book of Proverbs encourages us to trust God and pursue wisdom repeatedly. It says that pursuing wisdom is like cultivating a relationship with a beautiful woman. Originally written to adolescent boys in training, the point is clear about wisdom's significance. When we walk the path of wisdom we become more than just people who know how to make good choices.

A Worshipping Community

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.
