Practicing the Way - Intro

This week we begin a new series about what it means to be a Christian and what it means to grow in our faith. This series is inspired by the concepts of the book Practicing the Way by John Mark Comer.  

Is Jesus Really?

This is a stand alone series where we discuss that if Jesus is really who he says that he is, then that should have a massive impact on how we live our lives. 

Slow Down - Seasons

This week we discuss the truth that life has seasons -- both good and bad -- that we get to navigate through. God is working in every season of our lives and we have a role to play no matter what season we are going through. We take five truths out of Ecclesiastes 3:1-13 that apply deeply to our lives. 

Slow Down - Peace

This week we continue the Slow Down series and turn our attention to our inner lives. Pastor Tyler talks about the idea of God's peace and how this is a strong contrast to the inner turmoil and anxiety that plagues many of our lives. 
**The song that was used at the end of the sermon is Peace by Anaiah Nikole. We cut the audio from the recording so we did not infringe on copyright, but we encourage you to go lookup the song on Youtube or Spotify. 

Slow Down - Abide

This week we continue our series Slow Down and focus in on John 15 where Jesus explains the concept that if we are to bear good fruit in our lives, it starts by abiding in God. 

Slow Down - Sabbath

This week we begin a new series called "Slow Down" where we talk about how to cease living in a constant state of rushing and anxiety--both internally and externally. This sermon lays the foundation for the series and covers the important concept of being Sabbath people. 

Wisdom: Sermon on the Mount

This week we continue our Wisdom series by jumping to the New Testament and discussing the Sermon on the Mount. This famous sermon by Jesus is the foundation for Christian wisdom in the New Testament. The principles that Jesus lays out for us in the sermon have influenced Christians for over 2000 years. 

Wisdom: Ruth

This week we continue our Wisdom series with our final Old Testament book we will cover in this series: the book of Ruth. While not usually considered a "wisdom" book, this book has incredible truths to share with us today. 

Wisdom - Song of Songs

This week we cover the book of Song of Songs in the Bible. This book offers God's wisdom in the areas of love and sexuality. 

Wisdom - Ecclesiastes

This week we take a look at the book of Ecclesiastes. Although the book can seem depressing and even disturbing at times, it offers a powerful hope in the end that can affect our lives deeply if we understand it.
