The Soils
Mark 4:2-9, 13-20 What Jesus offers far exceeds our wildest expectations. The condition of one’s heart (responding or refusing the gospel of grace) determines the growth of the spiritual seed and the success or failure of the harvest. This talk concluded with a time of discussion. Here are the questions that were presented: Which soil is why most people don’t come to Jesus initially? Which soil...
The Gospel
Isaiah 55:1-5 We celebrate our discipleship emphasis over the past 9 months. Our Bible passage says that following God with all our heart is like eating at the best banquet ever. And the banquet is not only for us, but for all who would come and see. View the full service on our YouTube channel. By Pastor Paul Sausser

Risking Realness
Matthew 22:37-40 We were meant to know and love, to be known and be loved. That’s the life to which He has called us—this is what we desperately need. When we shift from just fellowshipping to the risk of being known, we learn to truly love each other. View the full service on our YouTube channel. By Pastor Paul Sausser
Beyond Friendliness
1 Corinthians 13:1-7 Some churches hold that all they need to be is friendly to others. While good, what the church needs to practice is true love. Love is concerned with all aspects of another person, while being friendly keeps interaction at the surface. Loving others, individually and as a community, is a core sign of spiritual maturity.

Telling Our Story
Acts 28:31 We’ll be learning to share our 30-second or our 2-minute story of God at work for us. While we may not be as bold as the Apostle, we can tell our story of what Jesus has done for us, whether that be for our salvation, guiding us in life’s troubled times, or an instance when God blessed us with undeserved grace. We’ll look at some pegs to hang our story on: we remember where...
Fellowshift
Acts 2:42-47 The church, the brainchild of God, is intended to do more than inspire people—it is to grow people and help people grow people. In following the methods of Jesus, the early church focused on fellowship, on being together, as the primary way we care for and build each other up. The church family moved from a feed me mentality to feed each other. View the full service...
Relationshift
1 Peter 5:12-13; Matthew 4:19 We believe that Jesus’ mission led him to die on the cross for our sins. That’s a big part of His mission, but it isn’t just that. His mission includes making disciples who, by being together, live out his teachings and tell the gospel story. What good is this truly fantastic real story if no one knows about it?
