When God's word lives in us his holiness lives in us!Af Scott Koreman

This week we're beginning our new series exploring what it means for the Word to be alive in us!Af Dustin Strauss

Jesus taught us all about life and walking with God, and at the end he taught us what to do with all of that - to take his teaching, and teach others. Go make disciples!Af Dustin Strauss

Jesus is alive! Join us as we celebrate the resurrection and explore what it means that Jesus is raised to life again for us!Af Dustin Strauss

Jesus has taught us how to live, how to worship, how to follow, but he also told us about the end. Our lives and this world will not go on forever - God will bring a conclusion to all things according to his will and for his glory. How does that change the way we should live?Af Dustin Strauss

Jesus is calling us to follow him, but we have to set down everything we are and everything we have if we do. The Rich Young Ruler couldn't do it. Can we?Af Dustin Strauss

The call of Jesus isn't to deny the world, it's to deny ourselves. We don't want to follow the patterns of the world, but Jesus is inviting us to see that the problem isn't all around us, it's in us too.Af Dustin Strauss

Jesus taught us what our mission looks like, what he has called us to do, and he is inviting us to follow him as he brings his Kingdom here to the world!Af Scott Koreman

Jesus has taught us how to live, and what life in his kingdom is supposed to look like. We are called to something far deeper than just acting nice!Af Scott Koreman

What did Jesus tell us about his kingdom? What did he tell us about life and worship and relationship? Join us as we begin our study of the things Jesus said to us, and what he means for us to do about it!Af Dustin Strauss

Jesus is the resurrection and the life, and he has power over death and all of creation. We have nothing to fear if we believe in him!Af Dustin Strauss

Jesus doesn't point toward the way, he doesn't tell us about the truth, and he doesn't describe life. He IS these things, and he is inviting us to know them in him.Af Dustin Strauss

Jesus is the light of the world, driving out darkness and helping us to see!Af Dustin Strauss

The Word was made flesh, and he told us that he is the very thing that sustains and feeds us. He is the bread of life, and is everything we need to live!Af Scott Koreman

Jesus is the Gate and the Good Shepherd. He is the way and he is the guide, and he came to lead us home!Af Dustin Strauss

As we explore the word this year, we come to the season of advent and confront the reality that the word is not a book but a person, and that person has told us what he is. Jesus is the Word made Flesh, and he has come to reveal his Father to us!Af Dustin Strauss

The power of prophecy is not the telling of the future, but God calling us back to relationship. He wants us to trust him, to know that he is in control, and that he desires that we would live in relationship with him!Af Dustin Strauss

Walking through hardship and suffering is incredibly difficult for us to do, and we can even often feel like we're failing because as followers of Jesus shouldn't we be filled with joy all the time? God has filled his word with lament to show us that he hears our cries, and that our hurts are not failure but part of relationship.…

God has given us his word for all kinds of reasons - to tell us about himself, what he has done, how we should live, how we should understand the world. But he has also given us is word simply that we can worship him! He has provided us the words and the direction to understand what it means to worship, and to live in a way that brings him glory.…

God has given us his law in creation, and revealed his law in his word. He has written out his will and purpose for us, and as we live in alignment with his will, we will find life!Af Dustin Strauss

God has determined how things are meant to work, and has laid the foundations of his law in the foundations of creation itself!Af Dustin Strauss

The history of God reveals how he has walked with and worked through broken people, just like us, to accomplish his will and purposes.Af Scott Koreman

Part of the story God has given us is revealing his power over the things of this world and the things in our lives. God records history to help us see that he is in control and to help us to trust him.Af Dustin Strauss

God wants to reveal himself in his word, and as we read his story, we must listen to see what he is trying to tell us about who he is!Af Dustin Strauss

The Bible talks about God's wrath, but our wrath is not the same as his, and we must trust him and bring glory to him in peace and love to others.Af Dustin Strauss

Envy is a subtle and powerful thing that can poison so many things in our lives. But we serve a God of overabundance and amazing promises, and if we truly believe what he has said there's no room for envy in our hearts!Af Dustin Strauss

God created physical relationships as a beautiful expression of his very nature of unity and relationship, and he wants us to live in that truth!Af Dustin Strauss

Where do we find fulfillmnet? Where do we find restoration and encouragement? Do we seek the presence of God? Or do we seek to fill ourselves with the things the world has to offer? God has created us for himself, and we will not find wholeness until we rest in him!Af Dustin Strauss

Do we believe that God is enough? Or do we have to take care of ourselves, to hold on to as big a pile of money as we can? God desires that we trust in his abundance, and to know that he will provide.Af Dustin Strauss

Pastor Scott continues to set the stage for our exploration of the power of the gospel over the hurt of sin in our lives.Af Scott Koreman
