Gospel & Race
"Corrupted Christianity"
Many struggle to reconcile the value of the gospel and Christianity with the fact that people throughout history have abused Christianity and used it as a tool of oppression, slavery and violence. In this message, we explore God’s intentions for His Gospel message vs. the corrupted version we’ve seen used throughout history.

Recovering from the Trauma of Racism
Genesis 1:26-27, Matthew 22:36-40
The Fall of humanity brought with it not just a disruption in our vertical relationship with God, but also a horizontal distortion of the way we view our neighbor. This message unpacks our country’s historical racism and the way forward as a community of faith together.

"A New Family"
Mark 3:20-21; 31-35
Jesus enacted a profound shift in our most fundamental loyalties, because the people we surround ourselves with influence everything about our lives. When we're born again, we're born again into a new family.

"Forgiven"
Ephesians 1:7-8
There are ways that we all seek to rid ourselves of guilt—by beating ourselves up, or trying to minimize wrongdoings. In this message, we’re looking at forgiveness, the one thing we all need and struggle to receive.

"Adopted"
Eph: 1:5-6, 17-19
The great tragedy of the Christian walk is that many of us approach God primarily as a judge, and not a parent. To be adopted by God means that we have access to God as Father.

"Loved Before the Foundation of the World"
Eph 1:3-5
All throughout scripture, there’s a theme: it is not us that chose God, but God has chosen us. Understanding this has profound implications for the issues of our identity and purpose.

"The Will of God"
Ephesians 1:1-2
In life, we pursue what we value. Oftentimes we don’t value time with God in prayer and scripture because of poor expectations or a bad approach, but what if there was another way? In this message we unpack Epehesians 1:1 to see how we can connect with God.
