Welcome to our new series "Rooted in Relationship", where we dive into scripture to see God's blueprint for community. Pastor Dave and Britni Dooley teach us the foundations of relationships that stem right from creation. We were created in the image of God and designed to be relational just as we see in the relation of our Triune God. Listen in and be encouraged to live as image bearers of Christ.

Rooted in Relationship

Foundations of Relationship | Week 1

We start a new sermon series called, "Everyday Prophets", where we study the minor prophets and how their message applies and changes lives today. 

Everyday Prophets | Introduction

In week 2 of our series, "Everyday Prophets", Pastor Ben teaches through the minor prophet Jonah. We are all very familiar with the beginning part of Jonah's narrative, but have you really taken a look at how the book of Jonah ends? Jonah becomes pretty upset by the fact that the Lord was slow to anger with the Ninevites and showed them mercy instead of wrath. It's a hard lesson for us all in revealing our own posture and attitude towards grace with one another. Who is your Ninevah? Who are your enemies that you should be praying over instead of having bitterness towards?

Everyday Prophets | Week 2- Jonah

Pastor Dave teaches from the book of Joel. Joel comes with a call to repentence.  The consequences of sin altimatley lead us to what we know as "the last days". Joel gives us a glimpse into what those times will look like as a warning. God warns us because He loves us and in that warning, He expects us to respond. 

Everyday Prophets |  Week 3- Joel

Pastor Britni Dooley teaches from the book of the minor prophet, Amos. There is a call to righteousness; to repent from the sins of oppressing the poor, sexual perversions, idolatry, empty religion, and complacency. And while being called out on sin and being warned of the consequences ahead might seem harsh, it's actaully a sign of a loving Father. Our God is a lion, and He is roaring to His people to signal ownership, to establish His position, to warn us of the danger of sin, and to call us back to His kingdom. Our God is perfectly love and perfectly just in all He does. A Father who loves His children, disciplines, and that's exactly what is being revealed today. Have you responded to the Lord's roars to repent and turn from sin?

Everyday Prophets | Week 4- Amos

We held a special outdoor service where the body of Christ gathered under a large tent to worship together, be encouraged by the Word of God, and to witness and recieve new members and those making outward professions of faith through baptism. It was a beautiful picture of the kingdom of Heaven and Lord's faithfulness through generations.

Pastor Dave teaches from the book of Hosea; a prophet who was obedient in living out this visual of God's mercy and love for His people, through his marriage to Gomer. We are encouraged throughout the message that the "story isn't over". The Lord is redeeming His people and calling us back to Him through His love and grace that leads us to repentance and receving the gift of mercy, bestowed upon us through Jesus Christ our Savior. 

Everyday Prophets | Week 5 - Hosea

Pastor Ben teaches from the minor prophet book of Micah. Micah calls out the leaders and false prophets for their idolatry and selfish ambitions. There is a clear warning of harship to come because of this sin that had corrupted their ways. But the story it never over, as we learned from other prophets. Our God who is great in mercy, shows His compassion upon the repentant heart. His kindess and mercy is our motivation to live a life in accordance to His will and purpose. If you carry His name, carry His purpose.

Everyday Prophets _ Week 6 - Micah

Pastor Dave Dooley takes us through the book of Nahum. While a lot of the book is filled with upcoming destruction from consequences of sin; we are reminded of God's grace and mercy that can lead to us to repentance. 

Everyday Prophets | Week 7 - Nahum

Pastor Ben walks us through the book of Zephaniah. The Lord calls out destruction on the land of Judah for their idolatry pagan worship. However, God calls us out the meek and humble, those who seek righteousness, they will be the remenant of Isreal and turn their trust back to Him. We should be upholding ourselves with humility, righteousness, and a gentle strength that comes from having trust in the Lord, not ourselves or other worldly forms of security. 

Everyday Prophets | Week 8- Zephaniah

Pastor Britni teaches from the book of Habakkuk. This book from the prophet is a dialogue between him and God. Right away we see how relational our Heavenly Father is when He responds back to Habakkuk's questions and complaints. He is a God who is fully present in our sorrows and even loving enough to tell us the truth, even when it's hard. But we can rejoice in the Lord, for we know He is faithful, even in the times of destruction.

Everyday Prophets | Week 9- Habakkuk

We exist to see people come to the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ. The church is so much more than a building. It is a body of believers called by our Lord Jesus Christ to share the Gospel with those who do not yet know who Jesus is. As the church, we gather together regularly through Sunday Morning Worship, activities, groups, and much more.
