The church does not exist for itself alone; it exists to share the love of Jesus with others - to be ‘witnesses’ of the good news of Jesus. So how can we do this well - in a way that points people to Jesus, instead of repelling them from the church? Today we explore what it means to be the church together.
Discipleship
The Good & Beautiful Life (Series Opener)
What does it mean to be happy? Truly happy? And what if happiness is not what you think it is? Join us this Sunday as we talk about true happiness and how we can experience it.
Follow Me: Following Jesus
We all have different assumptions about what it means to be a Christian. Some people believe Christianity is all about being a good person, while others believe it’s about going to heaven when you die, while others believe it’s all about professing certain beliefs about God. But what about Jesus? What did Jesus - the founder of Christianity - say about Christianity? What kind of life is He inviting us into? Listen here to find out!
Church as a ‘Family’
We live in a world where, through technology, people are more connected than ever before and at the same time more lonely than ever before. Even in churches, at times. People can attend regularly and yet feel completely disconnected from others, leaving many of them to wonder why they bother with church at all. But what if God’s vision for church was something completely different? What if the church was supposed to be a family? What if real (messy) community can be found in a Church Family?
Hometown Missionary
When we think of a "missionary" we tend to think of someone who has abandoned the North American way of life to move to a remote and needy part of the world in order to bring help that wouldn't be there without them. We tend to think of these "missionaries" as having a high calling, and for the most part, we're comfortable leaving the missionary stuff to those who have received "the call". But what if being a missionary is the one thing that every Jesus-follower should have in common? What if being a missionary looks drastically different than we think? What does it mean to be a "hometown missionary"?

The Mystery
The mystery of Spiritual Growth - Christ in you the hope of glory.
Who’s Following Who?
Jesus’ invitation to each of us is clear: “Follow Me.” And yet most us invite Jesus to follow us instead. Which raises an important question: Who’s following who? Are you living an “all-in” life for Christ or are you living for something or someone else? Are you following Christ or are you expecting Him to follow you? Maybe it’s time for you to go “all in.”
The Bullseye
What is the church, really? And what is it supposed to do? Join us as we discuss “the bulls eye” of the mission that Christ has entrusted to His church.
