A Listening Heart - 1 Kings 3:3-15 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
We’re kicking off our fall sermon series, For Our City, with a journey through the book of 1 Kings. We’ll begin with a surprising question God asks Solomon: What do you want me to give you? Solomon’s answer reveals something important about what God entrusts to each of us and what it means to use what’s in our hands for what’s on His heart. Join us as we begin this journey together.
We Joyfully Open Our Lives To One Another - Ephesians 2:19-22 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As a church, we’re not just a crowd; we’re a spiritual family growing together as disciples of Jesus in honest, grace-filled communities where people are known, stories are shared.

This Sunday we’ll read over King David's shoulder as
Unhindered Uncomfortability - Acts 28:16, 30-31 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Modern life and Western Civilization offers us physical comforts as an amazing gift, but an antagonizing god. Of all the cultural currents that undertow our lives there may be none more subtle but deadly. As Luke closes his narrative (Acts 21-28), we find the apostle Paul being arrested, attacked, humiliated, doubted, shipwrecked, snake-bitten, chained, rejected, awaiting trial and death. We think that alleviated hardship affords comfort (i.e., If this hard thing wasn’t happening to me I would b
