    Why is Jesus Unique?

  • Is Religion Killed by Science?

    Is Religion Killed by Science?

    Sep 15, 2019 • 28:58

    Because of their belief in God as creator of an observable cosmos marked by order and constancy, Christians deem science a worthy enterprise. But they also understand the limits of scientific knowledge, which can explain to a degree the how of creation, but never the why. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Hot…

    Would God Really Send Me To Hell?

    Sep 22, 2019 • 42:14

    In today’s day and age, the doctrine of hell often makes us feel uncomfortable and perhaps even rude. However, today we unpack the necessity of hell in revealing the justice, humility, and mercy of God. Speaker: Aaron Meservey Series: Hot Topics Scripture: Luke 16:19-31

  • Can the Bible Really Be Trusted?

    Can the Bible Really Be Trusted?

    Sep 29, 2019 • 34:36

    The Bible has stood the test of time and can hold its own in the face of scholarly criticism. But the Bible can be trusted not just because it stands up to scrutiny, but because its author and source and inspiration has proven Himself faithful and true. Speaker: Sean Scribner…

  • Can Jesus Really Change Us?

    Can Jesus Really Change Us?

    Feb 9, 2020 • 19:50

    By the power of the Spirit of Christ, we do not need to be hopelessly locked in the powerlessness and despair that comes from knowing what is right but only being able to do what is wrong. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Hot Topics Scripture: Romans 8:1-2

    How Does the Bible Address Suicide?

    God alone knows the content of every person’s heart. God alone is the king, lawgiver, and judge. God has given us his Son that we might have abundant life in him.

Beyond the Bumper Sticker
Sermon Series

You see them everywhere you go. Christian catchphrases printed on plastic and slapped on someone’s bumper—as enigmatic as they are ubiquitous. They are the taglines of well-intending people of faith seeking to communicate something profound to a world listening at 140 characters at a time.

But what do they mean?

Repeating a message does not guarantee its reception. Nor does trimming it down. Big ideas that get reduced to bite sized portions for mass consumption often get lost altogether. Words that once meant something can cease to have any real meaning at all.

Join us for a series of summer messages called “Beyond the Bumper Sticker” as we seek to peer behind the clichés to uncover the truths meant to be conveyed. The gospel is more than a slogan. It is the Good News of what God has done for the world through Jesus Christ. Come learn what that, along with its various expressions, could mean for your life.

    Jul 28, 2019 • 41:13

    Jesus Christ proclaimed peace, established peace, and even is peace itself. We must do more than wrap our lives in clichés. We need to embody the realities beneath them and be ambassadors of his peace to the world. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Beyond the Bumper Sticker Scripture: Ephesians 2:11-22

  • It's Not a Religion, It's a Relationship

    It's Not a Religion, It's a Relationship

    Aug 4, 2019 • 40:23

    God invites His people into a relationship, but what kind? For many, we have a religious impulse that seeks to earn God’s attention or favor through good works. Others completely disregard any moral outflow of following God. In reality, God invites us to participate in His new covenant that sets…

  • Christians Aren't Perfect, Just Forgiven

    Christians Aren't Perfect, Just Forgiven

    Aug 11, 2019 • 51:05

    God’s desire for your life and mine is far greater than mere sin management. He is not asking for perfect performance. He is asking for your heart. All of it. Everything you are able to offer in this moment. Nothing more. Nothing less. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Beyond the Bumper Sticker…

    What Would Jesus Do?

    Aug 18, 2019 • 31:59

    The people of God walk by faith and not by sight. We don’t need to see the answer to an impossible question before we take the next step. We simply need to trust the one who is guiding our lives and be obedient to what he has already revealed about…

  • Let Go and Let God

    Let Go and Let God

    Aug 25, 2019 • 39:12

    As Christians, we are not called to just sit back and watch events unfold around us until we get to heaven. We are called to make every effort to do the work of the kingdom in whatever form that takes in our lives. Speaker: Sean Scribner Series: Beyond the Bumper Sticker…

  • God Bless You

    God Bless You

    Sep 1, 2019 • 23:48
