Work | You Need a Sabbath | January 16

Just because we aren't gathering together this week doesn't mean we can't continue to discover the unlimited power of the Holy Spirit that dwells with us. In this sermon from our Work series, we inspect how the act of Sabbathing helps us to look more like Jesus and have a healthy view of our work.

Acts | The Mission of Acts | January 9

Sermon by Adam Gibson on January 9, 2022.

The Holy Spirit is God within us and the one who empowers our mission. He is the secret sauce, for lack of a better way of saying it, for everything that we want to see happen in our city. If He doesn’t do it, it doesn’t happen. We want to see people saved, healed, brought from death to life… if that’s going to be a thing, we need him.

Sermon by Ryan Rike on November 21, 2021.

This week we’re doing what some of what you might call house-keeping. We are handling some family business together.

For Our Good Always | You Shall Not Covet | November 14

Sermon by Jake Blair on November 14, 2021.

As we wrap up our series on the Ten Commandments, the final command says, “Do not covet.” According to this command, coveting is ultimately rooted in misplaced desire. The call was to therefore curb your desires in such a way to find your provision in God alone. But as you will see, in our culture we don’t really have a category for this. Desires are to be celebrated not tamed. So what do we do with this?

For Our Good Always | You Shall Not Bear False Witness Against Your Neighbor | November 7

Sermon by Jake Blair on November 7, 2021.

In this week’s teaching, we explore the 9th commandment, “You shall not bear false witness.” “Bearing false witness” means to tell a story about someone that isn’t true; you act as a witness to their behavior or character and do it in a way that doesn’t line up with reality. This subject is more complicated than you might think. It’s possible to bear false witness knowingly or even unknowingly.

For Our Good Always | You Shall Not Commit Adultery | October 24

FOGA-Sermon - Wk10.jpg

Sermon by Adam Gibson on October 24, 2021.

In the seventh commandment, we see that Jesus is ultimately after our hearts. He commands us to not commit adultery, but also to not do anything that might distort God’s covenant love towards us. Our call then is to love our spouse because it says something about God’s character.
