Dave Bianchin 09-16-2018 The Other Six All around us every day are people who matter to God. We work with them, eat with them, play with them, and fight with them. But are we truly helping them? How many of these people will be closer to God and to fulfilling the purpose for which they were made, because YOU were in their life? You can be someone who helps brings forth life-changing blessings in the lives of others. In this series, you’ll gain vision and practical ideas for being a person of profound everyday influence. Remember, it’s not mainly about how you live on Sundays. It’s all about the way you choose to live “The Other Six.” Acts 1:8; 1 Corinthians 12:4-11; Ephesians 4:7-13

Pete Stearns 07-15-2018 Press Pause A common theme today is that life feels overwhelming and busy. We feel like we must do it all so, we run nonstop through our obligations at work, school, church, home and beyond. In The Fourth Commandment God actually demands that we stop and rest yet this is the one command we are often rewarded for breaking. How can we make keeping the Sabbath a regular part of our lives? In honoring this deep and rich practice, we find God’s answer to our desires for control, striving, and success. We are provided with rest and the gift of presence. We are reminded that the world is God’s creation and under His control and while we act like “human doings” we are above all else, “human beings.” So, press pause on the harried grind through life and join us for this four-week series where we explore God’s sabbath requirement and the gift of deep restoration and peace that it provides. Psalm 90:12; 92:1-2 Psalm 100

Tracey Bianchi 06-24-2018 We all have a different idea or sentiment that comes to mind when we hear the word, “home.” For many of us, it’s a physical place, but when we look at the life of Jesus, he never really had one true home.
