This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Extra Mile (pt 3)

Gospel Of Mark | Part 3 | Pastor Chris Heller 

 

Have you ever been so blessed, so blown away, so taken back by the treatment you have witnessed or received by another that you said, “I have never seen anything like it?" 

This Sunday, we will witness four men who went the extra mile for a paralyzed man in order to bring him to Jesus, and then Jesus both did and said something that left everyone saying, “We have never seen anything like this!”

This Is Who He Is - Gospel Of Mark | Everyone Is Looking For You (pt 2)

Gospel Of Mark | Part 2 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This Sunday, we will follow Jesus as He “immediately” encounters one of the busiest days of his early ministry. Join us as we learn how He navigates the emotional and physical strain of ministering to the growing crowds made up of the lost, the sick, the unclean, and even the demon possessed!

This Is Who He Is | Part 1 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Join us this week as we begin our new series in the gospel of Mark, “This Is Who He Is!”

Bring your journals this Sunday, or pick one up in each foyer, as we cast a net into the deep waters of this amazing gospel that is full of action, hope, and - of course - lessons from the life of the Son of Man!

Follower | Take Up Your Cross (pt 3) | Easter Sunday

Follower | Part 3 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This week we'll conclude our Easter series, FOLLOWER, on Resurrection Sunday! During Jesus' last few days on earth, he prepares his disciples for the events to come and instructs them that they must deny themselves, take up their cross, and follow him. They couldn't possibly have fully understood the horrors they would see Jesus endure or anticipated what would be required of each of them as the crucifixion unfolded.

What does it mean to deny ourselves and "take up our cross?" It certainly doesn't sound easy, and it isn't, but it's worth it. We will take a close look at what is required of us to be a true follower of Christ.

Follower | Eye Of The Needle (pt 2)

Follower | Part 2 | Pastor Gabe Vanderstel

 

Last week, we were challenged to count the cost of following Jesus. We learned that Jesus calls his followers to reorder their priorities, sacrifice their comfort, and never look back.

This Sunday, Pastor Gabe will be sharing from the gospel of Luke as Jesus calls each of us to consider what obstacle may stand in the way of us following him completely. As we reflect on Jesus’ challenge to a rich young ruler, we will consider what we are most afraid to lose as the result of following Christ.

It’s not always easy, and it will require sacrifice, but for those who are willing, following Jesus offers a great reward.

Follower | Foxes Have Holes (pt 1)

Follower | Part 1 | Pastor Jon Adams

 

We live in a culture that loves to talk about leadership. Every day there are more “experts” filling up your inboxes, your podcast feed, and your social media with new and better ways to lead, to get ahead, and to make your mark. Jesus teaches something a whole lot simpler. He teaches us the power of following. In our three-part Easter series, Follower, we’ll be looking at three passages of scripture where Jesus calls us to follow him.

Pastor Jon will be starting the series this Sunday with a message called “Foxes Have Holes,” where we’ll be challenged to count the cost of following Jesus. It’s not always easy, and it will require sacrifice, but for those who are willing, following Jesus offers a great reward.

Jonah | Examined By God (pt 5)

Jonah | Part 5 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

This Sunday we will conclude our Jonah series with the sermon "Examined by God".  We will find our author on a hillside outside of Nineveh feeling very disappointed with God at what his eyes are seeing.  He accuses, questions, and even judges God's grace on Nineveh!

How will God respond to being put on trial by Jonah? Join us this week as we will see who will get the final word.

Jonah | Changed By God (pt 4)

Jonah | Part 4 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Have you lived long enough to realize that there are simply different seasons to life? Things change, people change, we even change . . . and we find that not all changes that come are welcomed, but sometimes very necessary. 

This week, we will follow a changed prophet (Jonah 3) into Nineveh and learn from his short, simple, yet very powerful message of repentance that changed an entire city.

If you find yourself in a season of change, this should be an encouraging Sunday. 

Jonah | Surrounded By God (pt 3)

Jonah | Part 3 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Have you ever felt stuck, even trapped, in life’s circumstances . . . or maybe your own consequences? Has it ever seemed like no matter what you do, life just isn’t working out or you aren’t making any progress? Are you tempted to think God is holding you back or preventing your progress?

This Sunday, join us as we read the psalm of Jonah (Jonah 2), inspired within the pit of despair. A song written about the time his God chose to rescue him, even while he was drowning in his own mistakes.

Jonah | Rebelling Against God (pt 2)

Jonah, How Far? | Part 2 | Pastor Chris Heller

 

Last week, we learned from God’s prodigal prophet what occurs when God’s children run from His call on their life. This Sunday, we will witness what God’s discipline looks like when we rebel against His will for our lives.  

This should be a great message for those who need to identify if the current storm in their life is the result of a trial that needs to be endured, or a consequence that needs to be confessed.
