Sunday Message Series

Are you living hopefully? Are you prepared to give an answer if someone asked you, ‘Why do you have such hope?’ If we know who Jesus is, if we have embraced what he has done for us, and if we have been impacted by his life, we will be able to give an inviting answer. We can become difference-makers.

How compelling is our faith? When our world is marked by despair, or filled with fear--what is there about our lives that would be attractive, and even compelling, to those who are looking for hope? What is there about us that would draw others to Jesus?

How do you keep hope? When there are so many disappointments, how can you position your own heart to persevere with hope?

With all that is happening in our public and private worlds it is likely that hope takes a beating. Discover the HOPE that will not disappoint.

It is easy for us to get confused about ownership. We live in a consumer-driven culture and our giving often reflects that culture. But there is good news, there is an Owner and he is gracious and generous. He has invited us to partner with him in his work, his mission, his heart. Understanding this can create for us a full and wonderful adventure as followers of Jesus Christ.

The talk of Christmas peace is good and meaningful. But life has a way of challenging the peace. So, when your peace is confronted by chaos, and anxiety wants to rule your heart, what do you do? Explore the developing of a new Way of the Heart.

Did you know that you were designed to experience the transformative love of God? It is not secret that the whole planet has lost its way. But Jesus has come to remedy this massive relational catastrophe. He has come to reverse the curse and pour God's love into our hearts.

When God chooses to act in mercy, it is radical. His action moves in counter-intuitive ways, working in conspiracy against our self-absorbed lives and introducing us to risky faith and purposeful freedom.

What is there about Advent as a present-day conspiracy that liberates us from being mere consumers and transforms us into being world-changers? What is there about the birth narrative of Jesus that invites us into a radically new way of living?

This holy season, this Advent—the celebration of the coming of Jesus—we are invited to enter into the joy of worship. To worship God is to find oneself worshiping Jesus. It is a striking feature of the story of Jesus that people came to worship him. To worship him is to declare that he is above all. That he has captivated our hearts and we find joy in surrendering to his love.

Through Jesus Christ we are invited into a reconciled relationship with God. Life happens! Transformation, healing and growth in love. God is relational and it is his will for us to experience his love, the love between the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Then, real church happens.

Real Church is for everybody! Be part of 'everybody'.

How does God deliver his goodness to us? How does he encounter us, shape us and encourage us? God has revealed to us that he envisions a community of followers, a movement of powerful love on the earth. Real Church is nothing less than the resurrection community of the followers of Jesus empowered by the Holy Spirit. Discover how to enter into the vision of Jesus.

Did you know that God cares deeply about the earth? That he desires all of creation to be restored, welcomed into his love and healing power? Did you know that you can play a significant role in that restoration? Discover more of Jesus' vision for the Church, Real Church.

What is so special about the Church? Could you answer that? Do you want the kinds of experiences that deepen your love for 'church' and create a hunger in others to be a part? Real Church is Jesus' Vision.

Did you know that Jesus has made a decision about his followers? He has decided that we would be empowered to continue his reconciling and healing work here and now. Real Church happens when real people believe and act upon Jesus' vision. Discover our amazing potential and future as the Church. "You are the light of the world!"

REAL Church is all about community. How are you connected?

Join us as we discover REAL church - the Jesus way... it takes a resurrection.
