Paul draws a line in the sand when he states in Philippians that for him "...to live is Christ..." In this message Pastor David Crabtree unpacks in brilliant detail the meaning of Paul's words and challenges us to ask ourselves the question: How have we chosen to define what our lives mean? Can we join with Paul in saying that for us, to live is Christ? Jesus offers us Real Life. Let's not sell ourselves short and accept anything less than what He came to give us.

Jesus is Risen Indeed!! He proved Himself to be God by rising triumphantly back from the dead. This Easter we celebrated that resurrection life and were reminded that it has given us the power to live! We pray that you would know and experience that resurrection life today!

In John's Gospel we are introduced to Jesus in a way that stands out differently when compared to the other 3 Gospel writers – John gives great emphasis to the Divinity of Jesus in his writing. We find that Jesus came, expressing His divine life and making that life available to humanity through his death and resurrection. This Easter Season, we're celebrating the Real Life that Jesus came to give us!

When Jesus meets the woman at the well, He gives her hope and restoration, causing her to be forever changed. Her response? She returns to her town and invites them all to "Come and See" who Jesus is. We believe that Jesus is calling us to do the same in our community and invite them to "Come and See" all that Christ is able to do in their lives. 

In John chapter 14 Jesus gives us both a promise and an instruction when He tells us that we would be the ones to continue to do His works in the earth. It's a powerful mandate and one that we need to keep in our focus as we fulfill His calling to become Fishers of Men.

While standing by the seashore, Jesus saw two brothers who were fishermen by trade and invited them to join Him in ministry. He announced this invitation by telling them that in the future they would fish for more than just their dinner, that they would "fish for men..." The invitation to us is the same today – Jesus is inviting us to step out of our comfort to take part in His mission of capturing the hearts of people, and introducing the world to Him.

Jesus Christ died and rose again, not just so that you could enjoy the glory of Heaven, but also to give you a victorious life on earth. The Scriptures are full of God's promises to us for victorious living. Discover what belongs to you and start experiencing victory over sin, sickness, fear, anxiety, depression and more today!

The place you belong in the body of Christ is no accident. The Church that Jesus is assembling is fit together perfectly, according to His design and master plan. One of the best things that we can discover in our lives is exactly where we fit in His Body. Today Pastor Joshua discusses the truth about finding and filling the place you were created to be!

As God builds His Church, He reveals to us the gifts and callings that He has strategically placed within our lives. When we discover and embrace His calling for our lives we begin to be fulfilled in ways we never dreamed possible. You're invited in today's message to discover God's purpose for you life and step into the future He's prepared for you with great boldness and joy!

God is in the process of piecing together His Church. Like a master watchmaker, God is the craftsman who is fitting His Church together in the manner that pleases Him and brings Him Glory. Today we begin a series diving into the idea of what it means to be "Assembled" by God. Enjoy and share the message with a friend!

We believe that God is calling us into the greatest time of evangelism that our church has ever known. If we're going to advance into God's purpose for our lives, it's going to happen as we commit to taking the Gospel outside of the four walls of the church and into the community. Join us as we answer the call of God to reach our city, state, nation and beyond!

God called Joshua and the people of Israel to consecrate themselves and expect the Lord to do significant and amazing things in their lives. Today's message challenges us to believe in the same fashion. After all, if God did amazing things for Israel, why wouldn't He do something amazing for you?

When God told Joshua to lead the people of Israel across the Jordan River into the land of promise, He didn't just give instructions, He also gave a promise. Join us as we unpack what God said in the start of our first series of the year: "Let's Go!"

The most potent reality of the Christmas Holiday is that God Himself, became human and chose to dwell with us. Rather than distance Himself from the sin of humanity, He chose to become like us and redeem us from within. When we celebrate Christmas, we're celebrating more than a baby in a manger, we're celebrating the King of Kings veiling Himself in human flesh, to rescue us all...

The Generous Life God outlines in Scripture has one hand attached to Gratitude and the other attached to Vision. In this concluding message of our series, Pastor Joshua Thurman encourages us to give generously and do so without worry.
