What's Your Purpose?
May 14, 2017
We are all in search of purpose in our lives. What are we here for? This is complicated even more as we try to join our purpose together with one another. On May 14th, 2017 we learned how we can unite in a common mission, glorifying God by the way we live.

The Power of Forgiveness
April 30, 2017
Often we have greater expectations of others than we have for ourselves. Often we see our weaknesses in others and we struggle to forgive them. On April 30th, 2017 we learned to bear with one another's weaknesses and forgive them as God has forgiven us.

Burden Bearer
April 23, 2017
Life is filled with struggles and temptations. At times, the weight of sin is simply to much handle. Yet, as the family of God, we do not bear that burden alone. On April 23rd, 2017 we learned how we are to help one another lift the burden of sin and lay it at the foot of the cross. Please join us in reading Matthew chapter 18 and Philippians chapter 4 verses 1-9 in preparation for this message: Burden Bearer. Click on the image to listen.
Serve with Love
April 2, 2017
What's in it for me? Sure, we're willing to serve one another, but to often we're really self-serving. On April 2nd, 2017 we learned to lovingly lend a hand without expecting anything in return.

Loving Correction
March 26, 2017
We're to accept one another in disputable matters. Does that mean we stick our heads in the sand when our brother or sister wanders into sin? On March 26th, 2017 we learned to lovingly help a struggling believer back onto the Lord's path. Please join us in reading 1 Thessalonians chapter 2 in preparation for this message: Loving Correction. Click on the image to listen.
Acceptable Acceptance
March 19, 2017
What do we expect? None of us are perfect. Yet, Scripture does give us a pattern by which to live. Within that pattern we have liberty. But how should we treat each other when our freedoms don't align with theirs? On March 19th, 2017 we learned to accept one another, as Christ accepted us. We would love it if you joined us in reading Titus chapter 2 in preparation for this message: Acceptable Acceptance. Click on the image to listen.
Can't We All Just Get Along
March 12, 2017
One the greatest deterrents to the Christian faith is our lack of unity. We bicker and argue with one another. Meanwhile, our division turns those who might seek Christ away from His family. On March 12th, 2017 we moved past our differences as we answer Jesus' prayer with unity. We would love it if you joined us in reading John chapter 17 in preparation for this message: Can't We All Just Get Along. Click on the image to listen.
Nature of a Servant
March 5, 2017
He knelt before them one by one, slowly pouring water over their feet. Then, with his bare hands he rubbed the grime away. Finally, he took up the towel, massaging their feet until they were dry once again. On March 5th, 2017 we looked at the example of Jesus as we learn to honor one another. We would love it if you joined us in reading Philippians chapter 2 in preparation for this message: Nature of a Servant. Click on the image to listen.
All in the Family of God
February 26, 2017
Father, brother, sister, family, for some, words like these bring thoughts of comfort, joy, and love. For others, they rend the heart with feelings of past hurts and sorrows. With painful memories in our past, how can we be part of a loving family? On February 26th, 2017 we looked at what it means to be part of the family of God as we build up one another. We would love it if you joined us in reading Hebrews chapter 13 in preparation for this message: All in the Family of God. Click on the image to listen.
We're All in this Together
February 19, 2017
There are times in our lives when we may feel isolated and alone. Even within the church, there may be times when we may feel disconnected from those around us. But as the body of Christ it shouldn't be that way. On February 19th, 2017 we looked at how we are all in this together as one body of believers. We would love it if you joined us in reading 1 Corinthians chapter 12 in preparation for this message: We're All in This Together. Click on the image to listen.
Building Up One Another
February 12, 2017
Many people have their varying opinions about church. Honestly, the church at large has often become something it was never meant to be. On February 12th, 2017 we began a new sermon series focusing on several of the "one another" passages about who we are to be as the church. We would love it if you joined us in reading Galatians chapters 5 in preparation for this message: Building Up One Another. Click on the image to listen.
