This is part 3 of our Membership series. This time, we focus on the Great Commission. Evangelism, also known as the ministry of reconciliation, is the primary ministry of every member. Evangelism is not a spiritual gift. Instead, it is part of our shared purpose while we remain on earth. Are you opting out of this ministry of reconciliation?

Go! - 2 Corinthians 5:1-21 - 05.18.2025

What Jesus prepares His disciples for in John 15:18-27 is something that many can't relate to or understand in the modern American church context. Was this expectation of hostility from the world ONLY for the first followers of Christ? Or has something been lost in the modern experience that should be found?

Disciples & The World - John 15:18-27 - 5.25.2025

Jesus told the disciples something that is hard to believe at first. He said He was going away, and that this was to their advantage. Do you believe this?

Advantage - John 16:1-15 - 06.01.2025

Jesus declares beautiful and powerful promises to His disciples prior to His crucifixion. Christ's intention is to encourage them to have peace and joy in Him and knowing that He has overcome the world.

Take Courage - John 16:16-33 - 06.08.2025

Jesus prays a beautiful and glorious prayer, exposing the glory of the Christian life in Him.

Glory - John 17 - 06.15.2025

David Watters, missionary with Ethnos360, encourages us to examine how the gospel has transformed our lives and to share this transformational message with the whole world.

The Curse is Being Lifted - Greg - 7.6.2025

In this powerful message from John 18:12-40, we explore Pilate's profound question: "What is truth?" Through Jesus's arrest and trial, we witness various responses to truth - from Peter's denial born of fear, to religious leaders clinging to shadows while missing the substance, to Pilate's disinterested pragmatism.

Jesus declares He came into the world to testify to the truth, and that everyone who is of the truth hears His voice. This sermon challenges us to examine how we interact with truth in our own lives. Are we like Peter, sometimes afraid of the consequences? Like the religious leaders, holding to forms while missing Christ? Or like Pilate, too busy with worldly concerns to hear the answer to life's most important questions?

Discover how Jesus, who declared "I am the way, the truth, and the life," submitted to false accusations and crucifixion not as a victim, but as the Lamb of God fulfilling His purpose. Learn what it means to walk by faith, not by sight, and to humble ourselves before God's truth even when it surprises or challenges us.
