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 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

Pastor Dave takes us through the book of Obadiah. While the book itself is small, it's content on God's response to pride, is not. We are challenged to seek the Lord and have Him search our hearts for these areas of pride. May we guard our hearts of this sin, and follow Jesus with all humility. 

Everyday Prophets | Week 10- Obadiah

We welcome our pastoral intern, Brayden Bostelman, to teach on the book of Haggai. Right away we see how God is calling out His people for losing sight of their first love, God Himself. They were so focused on building lavish lives for themselves, that they neglected to build God's temple. The Lord got their attention to draw them back to Him. We are encouraged and challenged to come back to our first love, Jesus. 

Everyday Prophets _ Week 11- Haggai

Pastor Ben teaches from the book of Zechariah. The whole book is multifaceted, but Pastor Ben is focusing on chapter 4 today. The Lord is encouraging His people through Zechariah to continue on mission in building the temple. There are three themes we see in Zechariah's prophetic words of encouragement: 1) The obstacle before you is real, 2) the promise of the Spirit is greater, and 3) the completion through God is certain. 

Everyday Prophets | Week 12- Zechariah

Pastor Dave closes out our series Everyday Prophets with the book of Malachi. We learned that old habits die hard, and that we should be giving our first and all to Jesus. 

Everyday Prophets | Week 13 - Malachi

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.
