Weird - Because Normal isn't Working
Most people spend their whole lives trying to fit into the scene they find themselves in, not wanting to rock the boat or stick out in any way. It’s certainly the safest way to get through life, but as Christ followers, we are not called to blend in. in fact the Greek word for church means “called out ones”, as in called out from the norm into a life led by Christ. Sure that means looking weird sometimes. But the weird life with Jesus beats the normal life without Him every time. Join us as we look to God’s word for what it means to be weird for His name’s sake.RECENT
What Are You Drinking? - Tom Eichem
What are you drinking? What we really thirst for is something that breathes new life into us instead of just getting us through the moment.
Before and After - Mark Saunders
Baggage. Everybody carries some through life – some of us are buried by it. Spiritual disappointments, relational blow-ups, financial failures and physical addictions can weigh down the best of Christ followers down. But we know that it was for freedom that Christ set us free (Galatians 5:1). This teaching centers on leaving the hurts of our past behind and walking in the freedom we can have in Jesus.

Take Care of your Pastors - Jon Weaver
Most church members don't know how to treat their pastor! If you want to be a considerate church member, there are some things you ought to know. Proper care on the part of church members in certain areas will aid both the pastor and the church in fulfilling their God-given roles.
That Starry Night
Has there been a more significant night in human history? In the humble surroundings of a stranger’s barn, God chose to be born to a teenager and her betrothed husband. They wrapped him tight and laid him in a trough – the infinite God wrapped in fabric and the body of a child. Born with Him were the promises of hope and joy, love and peace. Over the next four weeks, as we lead up to the celebration of the birth of our Savior, Jesus Christ, we will look more intently at these promises as we reflect on what God did for us all on that starry night so long ago.
There are all kinds of churches – old ones, new ones, big ones, small ones – but which churches are the real ones? In our quest to be all that God desires us to be as a church, it is on us to know what goes into to being a real church. As we study the church at Ephesus in scripture, we will be able to piece together the foundations, the doctrines, and the actions of a real church. The first 3 chapters of the book of Ephesians are rife with crucial theology for a real church – enjoy these sermons as they dig into those truths.

Generosity
In a Real Church, the people following Jesus Christ understand that their lives are to be completely yielded to Him in every way, including (and especially in) the expressions of generosity. Simply stated, if Jesus is in you, you are generous because He is generous (even if your actions haven’t yet aligned with your identity in Christ). In this teaching, we seek to understand what keeps us from being generous (excuses), how generosity (once started) is like a snowball rolling downhill, and how generosity is an indicator of a life surrendered to Christ.

Real Church - Beginnings
There are all kinds of churches – old ones, new ones, big ones, small ones – but which churches are the real ones? In our quest to be all that God desires us to be as a church, it is on us to know what goes into to being a real church. As we study the church at Ephesus in scripture, we will be able to piece together the foundations, the doctrines, and the actions of a real church.

Becoming a DOER - 05-29-11
Commands from God don’t bring restriction, but rather they bring you freedom and blessing. Chris Groover looks at James 1:22-25 to find out how to "become a DOER."
Modern Family
A family gathers in front of a camera, someone says “Smile!” and their pose is forever frozen and hung on the wall. But how often does real life reflect that family portrait? Marriages struggle, kids rebel, parents abdicate their leadership role – whether in small or big ways, these are the challenges of today’s family. Families are comprised of imperfect people who do imperfect things. That’s why it’s so important to glean the wisdom of an ancient text (the Bible) in addressing the needs of the Modern Family. Join as we do so in this important series on family relationships.

All Things New
When we find faith in Jesus Christ, we make a trade – our sin for His righteousness, our punishment for His grace, our bondage for His freedom. Paul tells the Corinthian church that “the old has passed away, and behold, all things are made new” (2 Corinthians 5:17). This series walks us through the last two chapters of the book of Colossiansas we discover the particulars of our new life with Christ.
