Connecting Point: Connection

Ken introduces our new message series, Connecting Point, by calling the church to unite and commit to each other. Being a Christ follower assumes deep connection with the Church that He gave his life for. Commit to connect to a church and watch as God blesses!

Starting Point: Decide

After the gospel is laid before us a response is demanded. Either this "good news" is a lie or it's the most powerful truth in history. In this message Pastor Ken urges us to act upon the gospel, to make a decision to move in God's direction. God has graciously invited us to be participants in His great continuing story and for us to enter eternal life in the here and now. But as with any gift we've ever received, if we don't open it, we can't enjoy it. Respond to the gospel today, it will change your life for eternity.

Starting Point: Salvation

The consequences of sin and death are too much for us to overcome. But by His grace, Jesus made a way for us to restore our relationship with God through His blood. The only thing God requires is for us to believe. How wonderful is His mercy! In this message, Pastor Ken walks us through the details of our salvation and encourages us to accept His glorious grace.

Starting Point: Sin

It's the three letter word that most of us in churches today would prefer we avoid altogether. It's much better for our personal freedoms if the topic remains "grace" or "forgiveness." But this week, Pastor Ken tackles the ugly word straight on. "Sin" lies at the root of the problem of humanity and the desperate need for a Savior. It's important that we address our sin and come to own it. Though grief and guilt are not feelings  God wants us to dwell in, it can be helpful at times to meditate on the weighty nature of what separates us from God. 

Starting Point: Beginnings

Everyone starts somewhere on their faith journey. Whether you're new to the faith or have been journeying with the Lord for decades we need to reengage our starting point to get back on course. When traveling a great distance, just a few degrees off our target will lead to a drastically different location. In this message Pastor Ken helps us start right by taking us back to the very beginning to discuss how it all started. When we pause to gaze at our Creator our lives begin to realign.

Be The Church: Extend Compassion

Concluding our "Be The Church" series, Pastor Ken unveils the third primary value tied to our church's mission--Extend Compassion. God has demonstrated tremendous compassion to us, His children, by sending His Son to die in our place. Because of His sacrifice, we're granted access to the Father and promised an eternity with Him in heaven. It is now our privileged response to act as extensions of God's compassion to the world around us. Through recognizing and meeting the needs around us and sharing the message of Jesus, God's compassion can spread like wildfire in our community and across the globe!

Be The Church: Build Community

Our second of three core values as a church revolves around community. When we look at the life of the early church from scripture, it's clear that deep community was fundamental to its mission to spread the gospel to the nations. It's no different today. In order for us to be effective in our mission we must constantly build community into the fabric of our church. We are a body after all, each piece contributing to the health of the whole. When working in unison we become the very image of Christ to the world. In this message, Pastor Ken seeks to illustrate these truths and challenge us to take a practical step towards building community by joining a LifeGroup. 

Be The Church: Encounter God

This week Pastor Ken speaks on how Moses encountered God at the burning bush. We learned that when someone genuinely encounters the living God, we are called to action. Will you respond to His call or turn away?

Be The Church: Vision and Purpose

This week Pastor Ken dives into the new year with a discussion on the mission of our church, the difference between believing and following, and challenged us to be the church.

Say Yes to Christmas: Magi
