WDJD? During our Ash Wednesday service, we started our new series WDJD: What DID Jesus Do?

Week 2 of WDJD?: (Recording of week 2 failed.) When Jesus turned 12, we hear that he stayed behind at the Temple when his family left. Then at 30 years old, he is baptized. What happened in the years in between where we have no information on his life? He waited. He was being shaped and formed by God’s grace as he waited for the right time to come. As we wait, we draw deeply from God’s grace in all seasons of our lives.
Joining Jesus on His Mission: How to be an Everyday Missionary: In this mini series, we focus on John 14:12: “Truly, truly I say to you, he who believes in Me will do the works that I do also. And he will do greater works than these, because I am going to My Father.” Everywhere we go, Jesus is right there at our side and he uses us as “everyday missionaries” to bring his Good News to the people around us. We often remember what we were saved FROM, but do we remember what we were saved FOR?
Anxious for Nothing: It’s normal for us to worry, to be anxious, to be afraid. But God doesn’t want us to be in a perpetual cycle of worry with the hopelessness that goes along with that. (Video for week 1 is not available.)
Our December series is “Seeking Jesus” which you can read as See King Jesus and Seeking Jesus. Get ready for Christmas with us by learning more about our Savior.

Our message series during September has been “Covenant and Kingdom.” Learn about the covenant God made with Abraham, the way God entrusted Joseph and Moses with Kingdom responsibilities, and how Jesus resisted the temptation to break the balance of covenant promises and kingdom responsibilities.
Our August series is titled “Real. Present. God.” and is focused on the theme of the 2019 National Youth Gathering held in Minneapolis in July.

God. opening signal. Click here to watch it.
