The ancient Greeks exalted the human intellect and believed the meaning of life could be obtained through human reasoning. But their higher education and endless philosophical debates did not bring them one iota closer to God. Paul dismissed the wisdom of this age for a greater wisdom, the wisdom of God! The “natural man” does not receive this wisdom, but the “spiritual man” does, even to the point of having the mind of Christ! Join us this Sunday! Communion to follow!

The ancient Greeks put a high value on the quest for wisdom. They exalted the human intellect and believed wisdom could be obtained through human reasoning and philosophical debate. When Christianity began to spread in the first century, most Greeks scoffed at the message of Jesus and the cross. They prided themselves in how intelligent they were, but in God’s eyes they were fools! True wisdom has nothing to do with the human intellect. True wisdom comes from God!

The Corinthian Church had a big problem! This problem was so toxic; it was destroying the church from within and hurting their witness without. The problem was a lack of unity! During the Last Supper, Jesus told His disciples, “By this all will know that you are My disciples, if you have love for one another.” How can we experience a unity so profound that it strengthens the church from within and expands our witness without? Come discover more this Sunday!

During the 1st century, the city of Corinth was a booming metropolis. Located about 50 miles west of Athens, it was not only a center of wealth; it was also a center of entertainment. The city was famous for its wild party life and its citizens indulged in every form of immoral pleasure imaginable. Corinth was a mess! But right in the middle of that mess, Paul planted a church, because he knew that Corinth was a city that needed a Savior! Join us next Sunday as we kick off a brand new study in 1 Corinthians and invite a friend!

Why do we love Jesus so much? Why are we so drawn to Him? One of the reasons is because He was a “giver”, not a “taker”! We’re drawn to Christ because He was selfless, not selfish; because He was altruistic, not narcissistic; because He came to give, not take. As believers, we’re called to follow in Christ’s footsteps! Join Pastor Mike next Sunday to discover more and invite a friend!

2,000 years ago, a dead man came to life and walked out of His grave. Since that day, the world has never been the same! His name was Jesus and He was more than just a man, He was the Son of God! Did you know that because Jesus was victorious, you can be victorious too? Because He lives, you can live in freedom! As His follower, you can experience freedom from anything that would try to bind you. Join us on Easter Sunday as we celebrate our Hero who rose from the grave and learn how He can set you free! Invite a friend and please arrive early!

We want our weekend service to be one of those moments in your life that you love. We want our building to be a place that you can’t wait to come to, and a place when you leave, you can’t wait to come back. But there’s something we need you to understand. What happens here was never meant to stay here.

During the Last Supper, as Jesus held the bread and the cup, He gave His disciples a command. He said, “Do this in remembrance of Me.” As we follow Christ today, it’s important that we still remember. Next Sunday, we will dedicate the entire service, the music and the message, to remembering the Lord’s broken body and His shed blood. Join us as we remember, “THE CROSS”.

We as Christians often look at ourselves as sheep. We love the idea of lying down in green pastures and being led by still waters. But the metaphor of being like sheep is just one side of the Christian persona. In the Scriptures, we’re not only known as sheep; we’re also known as warriors! When you decided to follow Jesus Christ, you signed on a dotted line to go to war! If you’re going to have any chance of victory in this war, you must know your armor! Join us next Sunday as we end the 2-part series on spiritual warfare called, “The Armor of God”.

Most of our lives are spent in two places: at home and at work. Do you look forward to going to work at the beginning of each day? Is your jobsite a place of development and productivity or a place of dysfunction and conflict? How about your home? Do you look forward to going home at the end of each day? Is your home a place of happiness and rest or a place of tension and unrest? Join us this Sunday and discover ways you can add value to the two places where you spend most of your life.

One day Jesus lifted up His voice and said, “If anyone thirsts, let him come to me and drink. He who believes in me, as the Scripture has said, out of his heart will flow rivers of living water!” Deep down inside, we all have an unquenchable thirst for God. When we trust Christ, the Spirit comes into us and satisfies that thirst. But our greatest capacity is not our ability to contain God’s Spirit. Our greatest capacity is our ability to allow Him to flow out of us and be a blessing to others! Discover more about being filled with the Spirit this Sunday!

As believers, we have so much to be thankful for! In our “B.C.” days, we were dead in trespasses and sins! But God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive together with Christ! Now that the Lord has saved us by His grace, how should we respond? Now that we are “AWAKE” spiritually, how should we live? In our passage this week, Paul gives us many practical examples of what we should do for God, in light of all that He has done for us. Join us this Sunday and invite a friend!

Because humans have been made in the image of God, we are very special! The psalmist wrote, “For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I fearfully and wonderfully made.” (Psalm 139: 13-14) When God created you, He made you into a 3-dimensional being; a being that has a body, a soul, and a spirit. Join us next Sunday as Pastor Mike teaches us about the trichotomy of man and how we can experience true wholeness in our inner being in 2015.
