Palm Sunday
Choosing the Way of the Cross
(Philippians 2:3-8)Let's not miss the humility of Jesus! God became man and came to Jerusalem on Palm Sunday, because he knew what we needed. He also knew everything that was going to happen, and he didn't turn around but chose to serve us all through the humility of the cross.

Part 2 | The Deliverer
(Exodus 12:1-13)What if the life you’ve been looking for isn’t something you have to create, but something you’ve been given? This week we're going to see how God delivered his people out of Egyptian slavery and into a new life. And yet, what the Israelites experienced was only a shadow of a greater deliverance and new life that God offers you today through Jesus.

Part 1 | The Rescuer
(Exodus 3:1-8)God used a man named Moses to rescue a nation that was enslaved in Egypt. In this series we’ll look at some of the ways God worked through him to bring deliverance. As we do, we’ll see how Moses was a shadow of the greater deliverance that would ultimately come through Jesus. This weekend we'll see how God sends rescuers before people even have a chance to ask for them.

Part 5 | Bold & Humble
(Acts 2:36-41)What does it look like to be bold about your faith without becoming harsh or arrogant? We live in a world where many Christians feel pressure to stay silent, or are tempted to speak without love. Jesus calls us to something better. In part five of The & Series, we're going to discover what that is.

Part 4 | Sinner & Saint
(1 John 1:5-10)Many followers of Jesus find themselves stuck between guilt and doubt, wondering if ongoing struggle with sin means their faith isn’t real. This week we’ll work through two truths that all Jesus followers must hold together: You are a sinner and you are a saint. You can battle sin and stand fully accepted before God.

Part 3 | In the World & Not of the World
(1 Peter 2:11-12)What does it look like to follow Jesus without withdrawing from the world, or slowly becoming just like it? This week we’re diving into the tension of what it looks like to be in the world but not of the world. This will be a powerful message because God has called us to a life that's lived in the tension between the two.

Part 2 | Judge & Do Not Judge
(Matthew 7:1-6)Jesus said, “Do not judge.” Yet moments later, he commands his followers to discern truth, examine their path, and evaluate spiritual voices. So, which is it? This weekend we’ll step into the tension of Judge & Do Not Judge and discover the difference between prideful judgment and God-directed discernment.

Part 1 | Faith & Works
(James 2:14-24)We are saved by grace through faith, not by what we do. But does that mean that we can live however we want and that our works are unimportant? This week we're going to explore the tension between resting fully in what Christ has done and living a faith that shows up in real life.

Do You Live in the Ordinary?
(Luke 2:41-52)Do you live in the ordinary or on spiritual auto-pilot? This weekend, God will challenge us to examine the rhythms and assumptions that shape our faith and remind us where true growth happens. We're going to see how Jesus is not just our example, but our perfect Savior.

Resilient
Part 4 | Relational Resiliency
(Colossians 3:12-17)Resiliency isn't just about what's happening inside of you. It shows itself most clearly in how you relate to the people around you. Strained relationships can drain resilience quickly, and a lack of resilience can just as quickly create strain in relationships. This weekend we’ll see how God acknowledges this tension and and supplies the resilience we need to overcome it.
