Communion Sunday 9:30AM

Deeper formation in Christ is often etched in hiddenness and mystery. Dr. Effler encourages us to embrace the mystery of Christ as we allow Him to shape us and lead us into our God-given destinies.

When Mystery Becomes Destiny

Who are you becoming? Every day, we are being shaped into something. In part 2 of “Become like Jesus,” Pastor Shannon talks about the intentional ways we can begin the journey toward deeper formation in Christ.

Become Like Jesus, Part 2

Who are you becoming? We are all being shaped daily into something whether we realize it or not. Listen to learn some of the ways we are unintentionally being formed every day into the people we are.

Become Like Jesus, Part 1

We must learn how to possess God’s presence right in the middle of the chaos of everyday life, and it will require intention and practice. This week, Pastor Shannon encourages us to “practice the presence,” so that our lives will begin to be shaped by Jesus.

Be With Jesus

What matters most in life is not what we do with our hands but what we allow Jesus to do in our hearts. This week, we are invited to begin the deep work of formation—a journey that can only be taken by following Jesus our Rabbi.

Follow the Rabbi

Pastor Shannon reminds us this week that nothing can separate us from this Christmas message: God is with us! Jesus stepped into our messy world and invited us into His world, so that we can Iive with peace.

Peace Found in the Message

Because Jesus is the Prince of Peace, we can have peace with God and peace within. To begin this series, Pastor Shannon invites us to embrace God’s peace this Christmas season.

Prince of Peace

We spend time in reflection, repentance, and thankfulness during this special communion-centered Advent service.

Communion Sunday

Are you constantly preoccupied with what you do not have, or have you learned to thank God for what you do have? In this sermon, we are challenged to have a grateful heart no matter the circumstances and reminded that a spirit of thanksgiving should be one of the most distinctive marks of followers of Jesus.

Radical Gratitude

Embracing the gift of spiritual friendship as found in scripture makes much of God! In week 2 of “A Beautiful Way,” Pastor Shannon describes what spiritual friendship looks like and how it is designed to bring God glory in all things.

Spiritual Friendships

How much fruit do you want your spiritual life to bear? In week 1 of “A Beautiful Way,” we discuss how God uses spiritual pruning and find that if we want our lives to produce “much more fruit,” then we must be prepared for the pruning that will lead us there.

Spiritual Pruning

Many of us self protect because of the pain we have experienced. Guest speaker, counselor, and elder, Mark Carpenter, challenges us to move toward the chaos and mystery of life by believing we are fully loved and delighted in by God. It’s only then that we become who we were truly created to be.

Mask of Pain

Shame is a neurophysiological event that affects the entire body, and many of us are trapped by it. No matter how much shame is a part of your story, Jesus is offering you another way. Listen and be invited to take off the mask of shame and receive the living water Jesus provides.
