The Book of Galatians: Freedom in Christ

For this fall season, on September 18^th, we’ll go through the book of Galatians, start to finish. This six-chapter letter to the churches in Galatia, modern-day Turkey, is all about our freedom in Christ. It serves as a great introduction to how we are saved from our sins. Even more, it provides a real-life example of how people in Biblical times disagreed with one another and took a stand for their beliefs. In our culture, in this election season, in the ongoing circumstances of change all around us, it’s vital for us to stand for our beliefs while also standing together.

Home

As we've been going through the school year, on the second Sunday of each month, we have reflected on the word "home." What it means to be home, the struggles that come with home, and the joy knowing that earth is not our true home. This Lenten series will show us how to find our home in God by relating stories of people from scripture who have truly found their home in God, no matter where they have roamed or strayed. Please join us on Sundays!

Reel Faith

Throughout this summer, we will consider a wide variety of movies and how they can point us to particular truths we find in Scripture through our sermon series entitled “Reel Faith.” Each week during this series, we will use a few minutes of video footage from a particular movie to draw out themes from Scripture in creative ways. Similar to our summer sermon series from 2014, Rock of Ages, these movie clips will not feature anything inappropriate and they will provide a new way to consider timeless truths.

Upcoming Movies:

9/4/16     Austin     "Reel Faith: Harry Potter"

Be Still

In our busy world, “rest” has become a four-letter word. On the second Sunday of each month throughout this year, we explore God’s plan for living a Sabbath lifestyle. Discover how God can do more with our “less” than we can do with our “all."

Engaging the Culture; Changing the World

During this season on Lent, as we embark on a journey of discovering our own brokenness, we will also journey alongside others who experience brokenness. We will examine how following Jesus’ example means embracing humility, and engaging the culture. As we partner with others, through the help of God’s Spirit, we change the world. Come and see how you can participate in this journey.
