How To Know Jesus / Identity Theft / Week 3

There is a difference between knowing about someone and really knowing someone. A lot of people might  know about Jesus, but how do you really get to know him? Can you know him personally? Do you have to be a religious person? Does your past impact your ability to know Jesus? In this sermon, we talk about how your list of accomplishments, your past, and your religious achievements doesn't make you right with God and how you can move to really knowing Jesus.

Has Your Identity Been Hijacked? / Identity Theft / Week 1

Everyday we are surrounded by voices trying to speak into our lives as to what should define us. But not all of our identities are created equal. In order for you to have healthy relationships and be healthy mentally, emotionally, and spiritually yourself they can't all be equal! So which identity is most important?  In this sermon, we're talking about how you can begin to navigate the confusion and ultimately discover who you really are and how you can find true freedom, peace, and comfort in your life.

Letting God Use You / Church Defined / Week 5

God has so much more for you than to digest religious content. God says, I have a job for you. One that I have uniquely designed you to do. We might be looking to God and faith to bring value or comfort to our lives, but what we often miss is that God has a purpose for you to carry out! A purpose that He has designed specifically for you! One that brings joy, motivation, and the opportunity for you to make a difference in the world. So what is this purpose and how can you find it?

Who Is The Church For? (It's Probably Not Who You Think) / Church Defined / Week 4

What if the assumptions you have about the church right now are completely untrue? What if they are actually what's keeping you from what God has always wanted for your life.

What It Looks Like To Live Biblically Centered / The Church Defined / Week 2

Wanting Justice For Others But Mercy For Ourselves / I Witness / Week 5

There are people who have wronged us and those we care about. They've done things we feel they should NEVER be forgiven for. But we're not without guilt either. We violate our own conscience and hurt others all the time! So how does God decide who gets forgiveness and who gets punished?

Are You A Fan Or Follower / I Witness / Week 4

What is required to be a follower of Jesus? Do you just need to have certain beliefs? Be baptized? Confirmed? Does your good need to outweigh the bad? If you're in good standing with God, what should that relationship look like? In this sermon, we're diving into the story of Judas (you know, the betrayer) to see how the faith of someone who followed Jesus so closely, went so off track.
