Psalm 23 || The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry

Join us this morning as Jim kicks off our new sermon series based on the book The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry. Throughout the summer we will journey through the book together as we uncover how to stay emotionally healthy and spiritually alive in the chaos of the modern world. Sunday we will look at a familiar passage (Psalm 23) and unpack how to slow down and enjoy the still waters.

Ephesians 3:14-21 || Who Do You Consider Family?

Who do you consider family? How important is family? In Ephesians 3:14-21, Paul demonstrates how our families are formed and we are stronger together than apart.

John 13:34-35 || How Do We Love One Another?

A Hand Up || Matthew 14: 22-36

Join us as we read about Jesus walking on the water. When we keep our eyes on Him, we have a pathway through the storm. The storms of life give us good reason to be afraid. But Jesus is bigger than even the scariest of storms.

Rest and Be Available || Matthew 12:1-14

Do you live life half awake? Maybe you like routine so much that somewhere along the way you forgot the power of shaking things up a bit. Do you need to become more fully alive?Join us as we dive into Matthew 12:1-14.

Faith to Follow || Matthew 9:9-13

Today we will study Matthew 9:9-13. Why does Jesus eat with the tax collectors and sinners? What does He say about this? Start thinking about who you invite to sit at your table and what this means about who you want in your life. When Jesus invited you on this adventure called your life, He did it so you fulfill the ambitions He has for you - to be fully alive and fully His. See you this morning!

What Do You Want? || Matthew 8:5-13

Today we will discuss Matthew 8:5-13 and the story of the centurion's belief that Jesus could heal. It's amazing to see what can happen when we have faith and ask Jesus a simple, direct question. Jesus wants us to be clear on our ambitions.

Where are you? || Matthew 7:13-14

Figuring out where you really are is a big part of discovering who you really are. Come along as we discuss the path of determining WHERE are you. Are you taking the wide gate path or the narrow gate path?
 
Sermon by Joel Phillips, Covenant Pastor of Evangelism 

Who Are You? || Matthew 3:13-17

Think about if someone asked, “who are you?” what would you say? There is massive power in self-awareness. If we can learn what the core motivations behind our actions are, we can figure out where they came from and take the action necessary to make progress forward. Join us as we discover who YOU are.
 
Sermon by Joel Phillips, Covenant Pastor of Evangelism 

Underneath It All || Matthew 1:1-17

We know you have a lot of dreams in you. Maybe they haven't taken shape yet; they're just a big blob of ideas. Maybe you haven't discovered them yet. That's okay! The beginning of them are inside you. You're busting with possibilities, gifts, and abilities that you can offer. Jesus invited you on this adventure called your life, and He did so you could be fully alive and fully His. Join us this summer as we begin the good and hard work of understanding who you are and how God made you so you can unearth the ambitions that may have been sitting dormant in your heart. Get started today!!
