Forward 03: Human Dignity

The Gospel carries with it several key implications that define the Kingdom of God.  One of those is Human Dignity.  This is a HUGE implication that affects nearly every area of our life, and many of our political issues of the day.

Forward 2: Almost The Gospel

The "Moral Majority" has been fighting for christian values and principles in our nation for about as long as I can remember.  How is that working out for us?  Are we a MORE moral nation today, than we used to be?  Or, are we LESS moral?  What happened there?  Maybe we need a new way of thinking about our values and principles, and a new realization of what we should be fighting for.

Forward 01: Something's Different

Something is definitely different in our culture today.  The real question is, is there something different about you?

You Are What You Eat

Communion isn't just a nice religious tradition.  It means something, and it says something powerful about Jesus, and about us.

Foolish Hero

So many are disillusioned with God, and with the church. They know there is something there that has power to change lives, but it remains somehow elusive. As a result, many have given up and walked away.  It can even seem that the Kingdom of God is diminishing, rather than advancing. What is the source of this disillusionment?  And how can we find strength and security rather than doubt?

Come, Know, Let

We all deal with trials in this life... Jesus promised we'd have them, and boy, was he right!  James, Jesus' brother, gives us three keys to dealing with trials.  Our youth pastor, Jason Turner walks us through those three keys, and shows us how we can endure.

The Final Hero Challenge

Can we think we are worshippers of God, but really be something else? What does it mean to worship in "Spirit and in truth?" 

Summer of Heroes: Halfway There

As we wrap up this series, we'll uncover the dirty little secret about Christians... That we all really want God's blessing on our lives, but that we won't step into them. Are we schizophrenic this way?  What gets us hung up outside of God's blessings, and how can we get unstuck and step into the abundant life that he has for us?

Tower To Nowhere

What happens when you know that God has a plan for your life, but you choose not to obey?  Does God's plan get beaten?  Does God lose?  Or, does He get what He wants?
