In this week’s message, inspired by Languishing by Corey Keyes, we explore the importance of valuing faithfulness over success. Pastor Kurt challenges us to act in faithfulness, even when it’s hard, as a way to cultivate lasting well-being and align our lives with God’s purpose.
This message explores the value of vulnerability over invincibility, drawing from Brené Brown's insight: "Vulnerability is the core of every meaningful human experience." Discover how embracing vulnerability leads to deeper connections with others and how Jesus meets us in these moments, revealing God's presence and power in our lives.

Beauty for Ashes: Broken Yet Beautiful in God's Eyes
Isaiah prophesied and Jesus confirmed that he was sent to bind up the brokenhearted, to comfort all who mourn and to give beauty for ashes. God says, in and through Jesus, that we are broken but beautiful in His eyes.
The picture of Jesus fishing with nets is close to the idea of evangelism that he had in mind when he called his disciples. Evangelism "by net" is a picture of what church is supposed to be - accepting, helping and loving people right where they are. How can we weave a net of relationship in new and life-giving ways?
In God's call for us to advance the kingdom of God in our day and in our own hometown, who is it that God might be leading us to spend time with, invite into our personal lives and to invest in, for their benefit? Let's look to the beginning of Jesus' public ministry in Matthew 4:1-22 to help us answer this question.
In chapter 4 of the book of Matthew, Jesus gives us some fishing advice. Hear what he says in this week's message about not using our own power, but relying on His strength.
The truth of the gospel is most fully witnessed in the restored and restoring relationships of authentic Christian community. It very well could be what church was intended to be when God invited us to be a part of His family. It's the authentic community of Christ, in its shared life together that, itself, becomes the witness of Christ in the world.
Christina Matich, Assistant Director of Family Ministries, shares her very first sermon! She reminds us, through God's word and Paul's message in the book of Colossians, that our mission to the world is not separate from who God calls us to BE in the world. God gave us the gift of each other because we can't
Guest Pastor Steve Starr highlights principles for living harmoniously within various relationships, as stated in Colossians 3:18-24. The passage emphasizes mutual respect, love, and diligence in all interactions, encouraging believers to act with integrity and wholeheartedness, as if serving the Lord, with the assurance of a heavenly reward.
Anthony Apeles walks us through scriptures in Colossians to help us understand who we are in Jesus. When we grasp the beauty of our identity in Christ, we are able to hold our earthly identity lightly.
Join us for the next message in our Colossians series.
How can you learn to recognize the characteristics of a religious doctrine that is not Christ-focused? Tune in as we continue to study the book of Colossians.
If the truth of Christ Jesus as Lord sinks into the very core of our being and becomes the foundation of our shared life together as a faith community, we will find ourselves living with more thankfulness and less discontentedness.
As we continue to work through the book of Colossians, we discover that Paul’s goal in helping people come to full maturity in Christ is so that they will not be deceived by false teaching. Christian truth is an embodied truth – Christ in you, Christ in me.
There is only one reason for Jesus; for his birth, life, death and resurrection. Jesus is ALL because God LOVES YOU! Be encouraged in heart and united in love.
It is natural to ask questions like:
Does God exist?
Is He presently active in the world and in my life?
Is there a purpose for my life?
All the answers are in Jesus!
This Love in action, that Paul writes about in Colossians 1:15-20, becomes the center around which all of our lives begin to make sense.
A study of Colossians changes the worldview of how we understand the nature of life, how God intends for His creation to operate, and how we can navigate our way as a faith community in the life God has called us to live.
