Join us as we explore how discipleship starts with being discipled and leads to multiplying disciples everywhere.

Were all too familiar with the deficits in our lives - the places we feel empty without anything to give, the gaps between who we are and who we feel God calling us to be; the places of insufficiency and insecurity. The good news is that deficits dont disqualify you from the race God has called you to run, theyre actually the places he wants to partner with us in. God never asks us to give what we dont have, he only asks us to make available what we do. Thats the theme well see this week as we wrap up our 99th anniversary series, ONE MORE.

Life is a journey and at some point well all wonder where it's taking us.

When was the last time you missed out on something because you hesitated? A limited time offer, a limited quantity sale. Maybe it was an experience or an opportunity you just missed out on.

In this message, well see how the Shepherds didnt hesitate, and because of it they got to be part of one of the most life-changing moments in history.

There comes times in every one of our lives that an important, not always easy to hear conversation needs to be had, when we need someone who cares about us, to sit us down and tell us something along the lines of:
I know you dont want to hear this, but you need to hear this. Thats the type of conversation Jesus wants to have with us as we wrap up our series on the beatitudes - you will be blessed, yes, but it wont always be easy - there will be persecution! -
We are in a moment in time when the stress of our culture is almost palpable, the fragmentation and divisions readily apparent. Relationships are strained on many fronts; it's easy to diagnose that there's a widespread lack of peace all around us. And yet, many have discovered a source of peace that persists in every circumstance, overcomes every anxiety, and assuages every fear. Join us today as Pastor Jeremy shows us how we can receive this peace, and how we can share it with a culture in desperate need.

"The age old debate: pure maple syrup or table syrup? We easily settle for "good enough" because it seems easier, it's more accessible, and doesn't cost us much. The same is true when it comes to our character. We often settle for appearing to be pure in heart than actually being pure in heart. Jesus has something to say about that, and offers a way forward."

"If you hurt me, I will hurt you! Give generously to me, I will give generously to you." - Thats the give and take system our culture operates under! In a culture that keeps scores and prefers things even, Jesus radically flips this social norm on its head when He says, God blesses those who are merciful, for they will be shown mercy. In one sentence, Jesus proposed a completely new way of interacting with the people around us.
