God’s Creative Purposes — Bob Whitaker (5 June 2016)
From Acts 10:1-20. When we look back in hindsight at the promises of God in the Old Testament, we identify the mission of God in Jesus Christ. God’s mission of redemption was always for the whole world, but that wasn’t always obvious to everyone. This week we’ll look at another development in the creative mission […]

We long to find meaning and significance in being part of something greater than ourselves. What if participating in the ordinary is something extraordinary?
The Invincibility of the Church — Bob Whitaker (22 May 2016)

Though the disciples possessed the same faults and failures from the past, God decided to use them in a mighty way. Is it still true today that God can use us to accomplish […]
A Great Commission — Josiah Leuenberger (17 Apr 2016)
This week’s message continues our April emphasis on missions and begins our journey through the Book of Acts with the story of Jesus commissioning his disciples to the ultimate mission – to be his witnesses in all the earth by the power of the Holy Spirit. Josiah explores the impact of this passage on our […]
