Building Healthy Churches
The letter of 1 Timothy is one of the pastoral epistles, written by Paul, as a mentor to a younger protégé Timothy, a pastor and significant part of his first century itinerate ministry. This book provides us with a holistic vision for the church, it is concerned with what the church believes, how it is led, and seeks to shape how it lives in public. This letter teaches us about commendable Christian leadership and how the church should be known for how we are concerned for those less fortunate as it seeks to follow Jesus. This epistle is helpful in the building of healthy churches and it inspires us to collectively fight the good fight of faith.

The Resilient Life
We live in an anxious age. Our 24 hour news cycle, social media hype, and globally connected world fuels our fears. Danger seems to be lurking around every corner. To counter this, the secular world has crafted “safe spaces” to shield the next generation from pain and suffering. But is this the solution? Are we meant to avoid stress and live a comfortable?
Paul’s second letter to the Corinthians tells a different story. With boldness and love, Paul exhorts the believers: “We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; (2 Corinthians 4:8-9, ESV).” In short, he calls the Corinthian Christians, and us, to love the resilient life?

What is the resilient life? We are able to recover quickly, because we know where our hope lies. As Paul writes, “So we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For this light momentary affliction is preparing for us an eternal weight of glory beyond all comparison (2 Cor. 4:16-17, ESV).” This series will look at themes in 2nd Corinthians and draw from the five practices of resilience outlined in the book Faith for Exiles. By the end of this series, we hope you will be prepared to live a RESILIENT LIFE for Christ.

A Journey Toward True Revival
In a world of division and distraction, discouragement is a natural reaction. The polarization of our culture, and within the church, leaves many wondering—what is God doing? Is there any hope? Will there be a revival?
This sermon series will tackle the topic of “revival,” both personally and corporately. It is so easy to get caught up in the noise of our world, that we forgot our first focus should be our relationship with Christ. When our hearts are transformed by his Gospel … everything else follows.
Over these four weeks, we will answer four questions about revival. What is it? Why do we need it? How do we get it? How do we know it’s real?
We pray your heart is both overhauled and refreshed this January

Luke ACT 5, Final Week of Jesus
The final five chapters of bring us to the end … the final week of Jesus’ first coming. He enters Jersulam, he tells his followers about the end of the world, he has a last meal with them … and then he goes to the cross. He takes our sins on himself. It is the culmination of his mission: to seek and save the lost. This is why Jesus came. The cross is how he will save the world … and the cross has changed the world. Do you want to be saved? You cannot miss this final section of our series.
Luke Series Overview
Have you ever lost something … something that was precious to you? It could be a family member, a wedding ring, a career, or, today, even you phone. Parts of our lives are precious to us. The question is: how far would you go? If someone or something is lost, how far would you go to seek and save them? We live in a world fill with lost people. People are searching, seeking, something bigger and better—something to fill the gap we sense in our hearts. People are longing for salvation but finding it in the wrong places. We need a savio
The Gospel of Luke is the story of God himself, Jesus Christ, coming to earth to seek and save the lost. Luke is a long book, but it shows us many dimensions of Jesus. In every section we see Jesus seeking us. He comes as a baby through the incarnation … seeking us. He performs miracles to show his power .. as he seeks us. He walks along the road with us as we ask questions. He dies for us … but then he rises again. And now, he sends his followers out into the world to seek the lost.
It’s the call of Jesus. How far would you go … to seek the lost?
What is the point? These books begin with hope, but end in disappointment. The spiritual state of the people are unchanged. The political and social reforms don’t address the core concerns of the heart. The book points us forward to the need for the new covenant which would renovate the human heart as prophesied by Jeremiah (ch 31) and Ezekiel (ch 36).
