Thankfulness Hacks from the Apostle Paul

How do you "hack" gratitude?

Many people open their eyes to material blessings God has given them. But the Apostle Paul's hack is to see unseen spiritual realities. That's what makes his heart thankful.

Pastor John will open Colossians 1 to explore how the Gospel gives us endless resources for thankfulness.

The Family Table - Romans 16

Has your experience of following Jesus been more about sitting in an individual seat on Sunday mornings? Or being face to face with others around the family table?

 

As we celebrate our 5th Anniversary, Pastor John opens up an often skipped over passage (Romans 16) to help us root deeper in the Gospel and each other. The family table is foundational to our faith.

Pure Faith - Romans 4:13-25

We talk a lot about faith in our culture, but what is it? Faith in the universe? Faith that things are going to work out okay? 

Cody opens up Romans 4 to unpack what faith really is for the follower of Jesus.

God: Missing or Revealed? (Romans 1:16-32)

Ever feel like God is missing? Because the world is so broken and our lives are so painful, we often feel like God isn't real or if He is, He's hiding. Pastor John explores Romans 1:16-32 to see how God is actually revealing himself to humanity, but not in the way that we would assume.

Is God Working?

Is God working? Sometimes it is hard to see where He is. 

As we wind down our Message on the Move series, Pastor John explores God working to start the church at Philippi through the lens of a famous verse. You'll hear about one funny family activity, reflect on the danger of the spirit world, and be encouraged to see God's word afresh.

Message on the Fringe - The Ethiopian Eunuch

Have you ever been on the outside looking in? Ever been excluded from participating? The Ethiopian eunuch would have found himself on the fringe when he went to the temple in Jerusalem to worship. In this sermon, we hear how the message of the Gospel includes the excluded but also moves us to the outside.

 

You'll hear about a follower of Jesus' primary identity and how kids go crazy for pinatas.

Those First Called Christians

When were followers of Jesus called "Christians"? Not until the Gospel began breaking barriers between different people in Antioch.

 

Dr. Greg Perry of Third Millennium Ministries shares from Acts chapter 11. You'll hear about the first time Greg was called a hurtful name and what the early Christians did when they were kicked out of the synagogue.

Awe & Awesome - The Amazing Spread of the Gospel (Acts 8)

Everything is “awesome”. Yet we aren’t in awe of anything. In today’s sermon, you’ll hear about how God was working in the early church and how He is working today. You’ll learn about the 2.5 billion Christians worldwide and “the most evil man in the world”.

The Road to the Nations (Acts 10)

Have you ever done something that went against popular opinion? Have you ever done something that went against your own logic?

When God calls Peter to go to Cornelius' house in Acts 10, it doesn't make sense to him. But Peter's perspective is going to be shifted to understand the Gospel is great than he previously thought, and breaks down barriers between people.

As Pastor Cody speaks from Acts 10, your own perspective will grow as you think about how God treats people impartially and has no favorite nation. You'll also hear about Cody's fifth grade perm.
