Part 4 - SERIES: Grounded Grounded | Part 4: Grounded in Christ We believe that Jesus Christ is God incarnate, fully God and fully man, one Person in two natures. Jesus—Israel's promised Messiah—was conceived through the Holy Spirit and born of the virgin Mary. He lived a sinless life, was crucified under Pontius Pilate, arose bodily from the dead, ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father as our High Priest and Advocate.

Grounded - Part 4: Grounded in Christ

Part 3 - SERIES Grounded Grounded | Part 3: Grounded in Despair We believe that God created Adam and Eve in His image, but they sinned when tempted by Satan. In union with Adam, human beings are sinners by nature and by choice, alienated from God, and under His wrath. Only through God’s saving work in Jesus Christ can we be rescued, reconciled and renewed.

Grounded - Part 3: Grounded in Despair

Part 2 - SERIES: Grounded We believe that God has spoken in the Scriptures, both Old and New Testaments, through the words of human authors. As the verbally inspired Word of God, the Bible is without error in the original writings, the complete revelation of His will for salvation, and the ultimate authority by which every realm of human knowledge and endeavor should be judged. Therefore, it is to be believed in all that it teaches, obeyed in all that it requires, and trusted in all that it promises.

Part 1 - SERIES: Grounded Grounded in God There's a number of things in life we can take for granted. In the same way, we can take for granted some of the essentials of our faith and spiritual lives. In this 10-week series we're using our Statement of Faith as a guide as we dig deeper into the essentials of what we believe and why they matter to everyday life. We begin by looking at who God is.

Part 5 - SERIES: Generous God's generosity includes his forgiveness, and God is the most generous forgiver of all time. Forgiveness is an act of generosity that's free to the recipient, but always costly to the giver. Because God has so generously forgiven us, we must learn to forgive each other. Pastor Josh walks through 3 things forgiveness is NOT and 3 things forgiveness IS that he learned from another pastor, and have proved to be helpful.

Blue Christmas 2021 Blue Christmas is a special service for anyone struggling with loss or loneliness during the holidays. This year Pastor Josh leads us in a devotional, acknowledging the hard things in life, while trusting that God can and will use them to create beauty in the future, much like the knots in a tree.

Part 4 - SERIES: Generous God is incredibly generous to us, it's his very nature. He's also created us in his image, to mirror him in the way we live—including being generous ourselves! Every good thing we have is a gift from God, and our giving (and overall generosity) begins with how we receive good gifts from him. Do we really recognize that all we have is his? Am I a "sponge" with the good gifts he gives, always trying to hold on to as much as I can, or a "hose" that operates as a conduit, receiving his blessings so I can bless others? Giving begins with receiving and reveals your heart, setting the stage for God's blessing.

Generous - Part 4: God's Generous Call

Part 3 - SERIES: Generous No matter how much we get, it's never enough—unless it's Jesus. We're hardwired "wanting" and lacking. God did this so we'd long for him, he's the only one who makes us whole, complete, and content. When we search for happiness we're usually longing for contentment which is in Jesus, not stuff.

Part 2 - SERIES: Generous When we speak of who God is, we’re speaking theologically of his attributes or his character. We often talk and teach about God’s love, sovereignty, infinite power, and holiness among his other attributes. And rightly so, because he is all of these things! But we don’t always consider his generous nature. God’s attributes can be thought of in two categories: incommunicable and communicable (those he does not share with us and those he does). Generosity is one of his communicable attributes, one he shares with us. God’s very nature is to be generous and give good gifts.

Generous - Part 2: God's Generous Nature

Part 1 - SERIES: Generous God so loved the world that he… gave. Our God is lavish in his generosity and during this Advent season we’re taking time to consider his generosity. At Christmas, we remember that God gave. He gave his Son, and Jesus gave his life—all out of love for us. Ephesians 2:1-10 shows us that God’s generosity saves us from eternal danger, saves us by Jesus, and saves us for good works. How will you image Jesus be generous yourself this Christmas season?

Part 5 - SERIES: The Heart of Christ Jesus is our advocate, and when he ascends to be with the Father he promises to send another Helper. The Holy Spirit is that helper. Many struggle with their understanding of the Spirit, thinking him to be an impersonal force or thing. But the Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, and is a person. He is a person who helps us in many ways, including experiencing the heart of Jesus in both rational and relational ways. The Spirit, in all that he does, glorifies Jesus Christ. He does not and will not and cannot lead or act in a way that is contrary to the heart of Jesus and the Word. The Spirit helps us experience Jesus’s heart and the Father’s heart toward us. (This series is based in large part on insights from the book Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund.)

The Heart of Christ - Part 5: He Sends a Helper

Part 4 - SERIES: The Heart of Christ Have you ever stopped to consider what Jesus is up to right now? Functionally, we might tend to think that following his ascension Jesus doesn’t have much to do but wait around for his glorious return. Scripture says otherwise. Jesus is as engaged, interested, and invested in our lives today as ever. Romans 8:34 reminds us that he is seated at the right hand of the Father, interceding on our behalf. Hebrews 7:25 tells us that he lives to intercede for us! 1 John 2:1-2 says he even advocates for us when we sin. Jesus has accomplished our atonement, justification, and redemption through his death, burial, and resurrection. He is now applying it to our lives through his intercession. Jesus saves to the uttermost by interceding and advocating for us! (This series is based in large part on insights from the book Gentle and Lowly by Dane Ortlund.)
