The explicit gospel

When Christians stumble and fall, when they screw up, do they run to God or from him? How we   understand the gospel is key to answering this. Even for those who go to church regularly, it’s easy to become complacent and think we don’t need to preach the gospel to ourselves every day, and that is where we go wrong.

 

The gospel is the core of Christianity. It is the set of beliefs on which everything else rests. It is the story of who we are and what we are on earth for. The true gospel is meant to be experienced in the present, past, and future. Yet, for many people who have been to church for any period of time, it may have not been made explicit. Its clear and concise message is not often conveyed, and for that reason a lot of Christians would find the gospel of Jesus Christ difficult to explain. There are many false gospels out there fighting for our attention.

 

Video sessions with Pastor Matt Chandler and small group discussion will remind us what is of first and  utmost importance - the gospel. The fundamentals of Christian belief are made clear, but with a depth that should even change the life of the most mature Christian.

facing retirement god's way

Retirement is a part of life that many people have not embraced.  Many times, finances have been  discussed through work situations but living in a way that honors the Lord and  demonstrates His life      transforming power is not a part of that discussion.  

 

What does retirement look like for the person who has followed Christ their whole life?  What do I do with my time? What does the Bible say about it? 

 

Enjoy various speakers who are walking the journey and are seeing God at work in many unique ways. Our  time will also be spent talking about some of the ways we can help our families prepare for retirement. 

 

Led by Pastor Joe Burchill with Kaeleigh King | D1 

prayer in action | year round

Each Sunday morning, year-round, there is a prayer gathering where participants learn more about prayer and will spend time in specific prayer for the services. This will be a unique gathering format. Prayer times will be focusing on the speaker of the day, the work of the Holy Spirit in the services and joining together to enter worshipful prayer.
