Hospitality is more than being a good host. Meaning "love of the stranger", Biblical hospitality is a practice that is quite literally at the center of the ministry of Jesus and the message of the Gospel.  His scandalous hospitality broke down walls of separation and invited us to come to His table. How can we invite others to the table He has set?

Join Brian Fenimore teaching about fasting as we continue our series on Holy Habits.

In God's economy, how you serve comes right back to you. Sometimes the notion of getting out of your comfort zone to serve someone else can seem scary.  Pastor J. Brian discusses eight different serving scenarios and how to make a difference in other peoples lives without the risk of doing it wrong. If it's God's idea...He'll make a way.  The word this week is interactive with a bit of a game show feel to it.

We are continuing our series entitled Holy Habits. Pastor Bob will be remind us the importance of having a Sabbath day. A day to rest and be refreshed - spirit, soul, and body!

Join us as Ken Beaudry preaches on the holy habit of Communion with Jesus, and why it's so important for our spiritual growth.

Jesus had a rhythm of pouring himself out and then slipping away to be alone with God. We'll look at why that rhythm matters for us too, and what God wants to do in the silence and stillness.

We can't practice the way of Jesus without walking closely with others. We'll look to scripture for 4 ways to be intentional about building the kind of life-changing community that Jesus is inviting people into.

We started a new sermon series entitled "Holy Habits."  Pastor Bob takes us into the Bible to give us an overview of the importance the first disciples placed on their spiritual growth.

Do you want to "grow in ALL respects"?  As we finish out our series in Equipping the Saints, Ephesians 4:15 gives us another key to the growth and maturing of the body: the inseparable relationship between truth and love. Join us so we can grow together!

We've been talking about the gifts Jesus gave to equip the church.  This week, we celebrate how Jesus, the master builder, is building us into a house of living stones!

In our series on the 5-fold ministry gifts, we're looking at the unique assignment of the teacher to make the confusing clear and help the body move from spiritual infancy to maturity.  It's easy to accumulate knowledge, but a true teacher is anointed to turn that knowledge into a changed life.

Pastor Bob encourages us to live a life that carries the essence of Christ.  We are His ambassadors to the world that needs His forgiveness and righteousness!

In this week of Equipping the Saints, we focus on the interconnected roles of the Pastor and the Teacher, and discover how these gifts work together to guard against false doctrine, heal spiritual wounds, nurture the growth of the church, and ground our community in faith.
