Life, Part 2: Empty Life
In this second week of our series Life we discover that there are times when the life that we have in Christ loses its abundance because we begin to drift toward the habits of our past or we lose connection with other believers and therefore lose the joy of our walk with Christ. No one likes an empty life. We invite you to watch this message as we seek to rediscover the real life that God intends us to enjoy.

Life, Part 1: My Life
The life that we were meant to have and the life we actually experience are often very different. Jesus said that he came that we might have life and have it abundantly, but so often we live mired in a life that is robbed of its spiritual and eternal significance by the lies we believe and the myths that we allow to shape our experience.
This is the first message in our series entitled "Life". Join us in December as we discover what life can really be if it is Christ-directed rather than just life on our own.
Life, Part 1.

You In? Part 3: Contribute
As we wrap-up our series entitled "You In?", we conclude with the third step in our disciple-making process: Contribute.
When we hear the word "contribute" we often think of "giving", and that is part of it. But as those who seek to be fully formed followers of Christ, we see that our contribution goes far beyond the wallet.
Our desire as a church is to see people grow in their walk with the Lord such that they freely and joyfully give of their time, talents, and treasures as a natural response to the transformation that Christ is undertaking in their lives. That's the subject of this week's message on Contribute.

We continue our series entitled "You In?" In this message Pastor Brian talks about the second step in our church's disciple-making process. Last week Pastor Brian talked about Celebrate. We so love gathering together each weekend as a local church family, celebrating who our Lord is, what He has done and continues to do. But if we want to go deeper in our walk with the Lord, we need to go from Celebrate to Connect, the topic of this week's message.

You In? Part 1: Celebrate
This is the first of three messages in our "You In?" series. In these three weeks we are going to take the opportunity to set before our church family three targets for our affection. These three activities are celebrated throughout the New Testament as best practices for those who would seek to have the character and mission of Christ formed in them. These three targets will represent significant new vocabulary that will help shape the direction and DNA of our church family. If you happened to miss this message last weekend, we invite you to carve out some time to listen to it or watch it here. See you in the coming weekends for the rest of the series!

Flawed, Part 3
We live in a culture that is overtaken with a youth orientation. Youth is honored and celebrated and so it is pursued by everyone in culture. The common trap of the youth orientation in our culture is that we give ourselves over to the pursuit of youthfulness. We live under the assumption that we are young and we are going to stay young and so we drift into the malaise of believing that we have plenty of time. So what does the Scripture have to say about the myth that we have plenty of time? Listen as Pastor Brian unpacks the truth of Scripture regarding our use of time.
