Work is a good thing. As we celebrate Labor Day, we are right to esteem work and workers. Even God works (and rests)! However, Jesus once said that our primary work is to trust Him. Often we would rather DO for God than TRUST God. Sometimes believing is hard. But without faith it is impossible to please God, and Jesus has shown himself trustworthy.

The Work of Faith

Jason Bowman - Have you ever felt stalled out in your faith? Have you ever felt like you just weren’t moving forward? Jesus finds himself surrounded by people who are stalled out, but he does not give up on them just as he does not give up on us. Rather, he provides just what they need to move forward.

Moving Forward In Christ

Life does not always make sense. When we encounter our most difficult circumstances, what do we do? In Exodus 32, we see the Israelites faced with having no answers and feeling abandoned. How do they respond? As we study their reaction to this trial, Jason Bowman encourages us to fully and radially trust God - even when our lives make no sense.

Trusting When It Makes No Sense

Non-committal. Church shoppers. Church hoppers. Church droppers. How do modern approaches to church compare to the New Testament? In Acts 2, we see that believers “devoted themselves” to the church and her practices. In this message, Pastor Ross exhorts us to embrace the church as central and essential rather than peripheral and optional.

Devoted to what?

Church Alive

The church is not a human institution. It is God’s idea, His design. To love Jesus while minimizing or degrading the church is to insult His bride! In Acts 2, we see the beginnings of this new community and its unique functions or marks.

The Birth of a Body

Jesus is Preeminent

Centering lives on Jesus Christ, through genuine community, authentic worship, biblical teaching, and holistic mission.
