The Mighty Men’s Story

Bible Text: 2 Samuel 23:13–17 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: The Stories We Live By

Introverted or extroverted, we all crave community–a group of people who will never let us down and always let us in. This Sunday we continue our sermon series on First and Second Samuel.

Koinonia

Bible Text: Philippians 4:10–20 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: One Body: Living Into the Unity the Gospel Provides

We like the image of the self-made man. We like the idea of getting ahead in life by our own bootstraps and ingenuity, without any help from anyone. But as they say, it’s lonely at the top. No matter how much we achieve, we still need the companionship and help of others. As much as we hate it, we are needy. But in the upside down kingdom of Jesus, being needy is a wonderful thing.

Everyday Gospel Unity

Bible Text: Colossians 3:12-17 | Preacher: Kyle Wells | Series: One Body: Living Into the Unity the Gospel Provides

We like the idea of unity, but what does it take to actually accomplish it? In today’s divided world we often decry the division but neglect the virtues required to live in community: kindness, humility, gentleness, compassion, patience, and bearing the burdens of others. How can God change us from the inside out so that we can be people of peace instead of hostility? This Sunday we continue our series on the unity of the Christian Church.

The Unity of the Faith

Bible Text: Ephesians 4:11-16 | Preacher: Reed Jolley | Series: One Body: Living Into the Unity the Gospel Provides

What does it look like to grow up? Adulting has become a sort of buzz word today. People often use it to describe the responsibilities one faces when becoming an adulthood. But what is it like to adult as a Christian? Most often we view maturity as a form of independence. But what if growing up means not independence, but interdependence? What if responsibility actually looks like existing in, receiving from, and giving to a community? This week we learn about a key distinctive of Christian maturity—unity.
