This message, "Pure Religion" is the conclusion of our August series, "Bread of Life." Religion is man's attempt to gain access to God. So, can religion be pure? We're going back to see where some of our "religious" roots came from and what was the intent. Join us as we explore heart motivations that can either help us to hear, understand and live or to simply take what was said and create a system that appears spiritual and theological while being worthless to eternity. Scriptures taken from the Revised Lectionary: Deuteronomy 4:1-2, 6-9, Mark 7:1-8, 14-15, 21-23 and James 1:17-27.

New series for September, "Faith that Works." We are not talking about the works or things faith does, but rather, what really works with faith and what doesn't work with faith.

Scriptures taken from the Revised Lectionary: Isaiah 35:4-7, Mark 7:24-37 and James 2:1-10.

Today's message is "Take Up the Cross" and is from our series for September, "Faith that Works." Have you turned down an opportunity for ministry from fear of doing something wrong? Our faith is often displayed by the way we live our life and the words that we speak. How can we say the right thing? How can we live the right way? Let's look at that point where actions, words, hearts and faith, all seem to intersect. Scriptures taken from the Revised Lectionary: Isaiah 50:4-9, Mark 8:27-38 and James 3:1-12.

Today's message is "The Greatest Servant" and is from our series for September, "Faith that Works." You probably seen it in the news: a Christian pastor caught in a crime or other serious sin. Another reason for people to disregard Christ. Yet, many are also turned off of Christ from ministers who walk with arrogance, a fake humility, or jealousy and arguments targeted at other Christians. Is this really what Jesus has called His people to? Join us as we look at that the leadership that Jesus demonstrated and taught. Let's see what being the greatest servant is about. Scriptures taken from the Revised Lectionary: Jeremiah 11:18-20, Mark 9:30-37 and James 3:13-4:3, 6-8.

WARNING: This message is not for the religious person! "Choose This Day" is the third part of our August series, "Bread of Life." The Spirit gives life, the flesh profits nothing.

Join us as we look at the love of God, the journey of life, the spiritual warfare around us, and the choice we must make. Scriptures taken from the Revised Lectionary: Joshua 1-2, 14-18, John 6:59-69 and Ephesians 6:10-20.

This message, "Feasting" is from our August series, "Bread of Life." What is it that you feast upon? What is it that sustains you?

Jesus rocked the world by claiming that He was the bread that gives eternal life. Join us as we look at the difference between the Real food and the fake. Scriptures taken from the Revised Lectionary: Proverbs 9:1-6, John 6:51-58 and Ephesians 5:15-20.
