167 Hours - Week 4 - Hour 155

If you're like most, you don't have much free time, so when you find yourself with a little "me time", you may feel like spending it isolated from others.

167 Hours - Week 2 - The 36th Hour

God reaches people in more than just the one hour we spend in a church building. He's working through His people in all 167 hours of the week.

Audacious Claims - Week 4 - Overflow

Our series wraps up with a study of verse 5 & 6 from Psalm 23 with Pastor Adrian Schoonmaker painting a picture of what it would look and feel like to be the guest of honor at a table prepared by Jesus Christ, as he explains how this Audacious Claim separates Christianity from all other religions in this message entitled "Overflow."

Audacious Claims - Week 3 - Shadow

Heartbreak, brokenness, depression - every form of decay is a reflection, manifestation or foretaste of death. They come to rob, kill, and snuff out life and hope. When someone feels their only option to get out of the abyss is to give up, what comfort can they find from a world that romanticizes or even denies death itself? As we continue our series on the "Audacious Claims" of Jesus, Pastor Adrian Schoonmaker examines Jesus' reaction to the death of Lazarus and how this reaction allows us ...

Audacious Claims - Week 2 - Rest

As a society, we are constantly subjected to social and inner turmoil. It's no wonder we look for peace from legislation, leadership, stress-management, medication and especially religion, but why do all of these prescriptions leave us wanting? As we continue our study of Psalm 23, Pastor Adrian Schoonmaker explores more Audacious Claims of Jesus in this message entitled "Rest."  

Audacious Claims

Psalm 23 is perhaps the most quoted in all of scripture, but when we say "The Lord is my shepherd, I shall not want," what do we mean? Will God give me everything I need to be happy and satisfied? In this message by Pastor Adrian Schoonmaker, we'll hear the answer Jesus gives as we start our new series Audacious Claims.

Man on Fire - Week 7 - Earth, Wind, Fire

Man on Fire - Week 6 - House on Fire

Not making a clean break from sin through repentance will ultimately bring disaster into our lives, because God loves us too much to let us get away with it. As the story of David continues, we find him reaping the consequences of his decisions many years later.
