The gospel according to John offers us a different depiction than the rest of the gospels. It is not so much a complete story about everything Christ did, but rather an articulation and exploration of who Christ is and what that means for us. Today, we explore how our faith in Christ hinges upon who He said He is and how these declarations about His life impact ours.

We often can find in our relationship to Christ a developmental deficiency that may hamper our relationship with Christ over time, frequently leading to isolation. In an exploration of Colossians 3:4-17, pastor Andrew points out the critical elements asked of Christ followers, which when acted upon and exercised, are the greatest preventative measures to isolation.

Covenant Sunday :: 2/7/21

The gospels often on speak on Christ’s physical care He bestows on individuals. Yet his teachings lay out for us the "manifesto" of this upside down kingdom, providing for us a way in which we live our lives fulfilled. Pastor Andrew explores how Luke’s writing from an educated, respected and wealthy perspective, gives a clear picture of how one can live a free and fulfilled life.
