Baptism and Surrender

Good works don’t save us, but we are saved to do good works.

The entire Old Testament is God calling humanity back to Himself, helping us remember who He is and who we are supposed to be, and giving us the ability to choose life instead of death - to choose wholeness, instead of brokenness. It all leads to the moment we find in Matthew, Mark, Luke, John, and Acts - the climax of the story, the coming of our Rescuer - Jesus.

God calls to point people back to Himself - and for much of our time - it might feel like we’re listening in on a phone call that has nothing to do with us. But in the end, it will come together. 

To "level up" you need to grow in your faith and understanding to move beyond the basic teachings to a deeper, mature level of knowledge.

If we desire to live more like Jesus, it begins with a new self.

“Calling” is not to be a burden or fear of missing out on God’s will for your life, but what does it mean?

Members of our congregation shared personal stories to remind us of God's faithfulness as we begin a new year.

Even as this life experiences difficulties, suffering, and trials, we can confidently live knowing God is for us, evidenced by our salvation even if nothing else is apparent.

God chooses and pursues individuals for His offer of salvation, which is fulfilled through Jesus Christ.

In the parable of the bridesmaids, Jesus is telling His follower that they need to be prepared and ready.

Jesus calls us to live fruitful lives born out of loving relationship with Him. And as we do that, we’ll experience joy and opposition.

Baptism is something we do, it’s something rather important, but we don’t talk about it very much.

Communion is not simply a transfer, it’s a trade. It's an important spiritual practice and Christian tradition.

What kept Judas, who spent so much time with Jesus, from accepting who Jesus was? What keeps us from surrendering our lives to Him?

Transformation takes place through faith and trust in Jesus. During your spiritual journey, you'll face challenges, but they'll change your relationship with Jesus.

The pull of this world is so strong and insidious, we will drift if we are not rooted in Jesus.

We are surrounded by cultural realities and pressures, local, nationally, and globally, that tend to draw us away from trusting in Jesus. How do we resist the pull of the world around us to focus on Jesus?

After centuries of waiting, God’s promised had arrived as Baby Jesus was born. And his birth requires a response. An invitation...

We’re called by Jesus to become a disciple but what does that look like?
