John's gospel tells the story of God's love revealed on earth in the person of Jesus Christ. John wrote the story of Jesus' life so that we might believe that new life is available through the one and only Son of God. His life and heart were transformed as he followed Jesus. That's true for you too!
What controls you, rules you. We so often settle for lesser gods and heroes. The Old Testament book of Judges tells the story of people trying to live their lives without the truth, grace, and power of their loving God. Join us this summer to find out what happens when everyone does what is right in their own eyes. Spoiler Alert: it isn't pretty!
Follow the stories of six people who are seeking to live out their faith in the everyday of their ordinary lives. We'll hear from people in our faith community who are pursing new life by following Jesus, welcoming everyone, and loving all.
Most of us want to influence the people around us. We want to make a positive difference in our families, workplaces, schools, and communities. Jesus was able to change the lives of those around Him because He practiced spiritual training. As we follow Jesus, we will engage in these training habits as well.
Life is full of tension. Many times this tension appears when our beliefs clash with our broken culture and world. If you are seeking to live in authenticity then you will need to consider the tensions that challenge how we live out our faith.
Our vision, pursuing new life together in Jesus, means we follow Jesus, welcome everyone, and love all. It is a vision that keeps us connected to our Lord, creating a place of belonging for all people, and expressing love in practical ways in our backyard and around the world.
Jason Heppner, Student Ministries Pastor and Nate Severson, Community Life Pastor team teach about how something incredible happens when we start seeing people the way Jesus sees them.
