UNASHAMED: DISCIPLESHIP
Matthew 28:16-20
As a church we are focused on what it means as well as what it looks like to be an “Unashamed Disciple”. The first week Pastor spoke on the necessity for each of us to “Know People’s Stories!” If we are going to be unashamed disciples then we need to engage the people God has put in our lives. We need to enter into the messiness that is people. We need to know who they are, what they believe, where their struggles are, and help...
Luke 14:25-33

In our text today Jesus teaches us that being a disciple, at its core, is truly very simple. Even though it is very simple it involves our whole life. This is where the message of Jesus becomes hard for many to accept and believe...
Matthew 4:18-22
In a couple of days 2015 will soon be behind us. We were challenged this year to be Unashamed of the Gospel in our Home, in our Neighborhood, in our Workplace, in our Church, and in our World. Now, let's build upon that by taking on Christ's call and command to “Come and follow me” (Matthew 4:19) and “Go and make disciples”. (Matthew 28:19)...
Ecclesiastes 1:1-11; 12:11-14
Solomon's Call to Respond: Trust God's Word. (vs. 11) Do not trust the ever-changing counsel of the world. (vs. 12) Be so in awe of God that you spend every moment of your life living for Him. (vs. 13)...
