August has arrived. The long hot days of summer are growing shorter. Vacations are winding down and school shopping is on our to-do lists. That familiar sense of one season passing by with another right around the corner is beginning its annual creep into the backs of our minds, and with it comes a renewed sense of priority and the right ordering of time and commitments.
What role does church life play in the ordering of your own time and commitments? The Bible places the church of Jesus Christ right at the center of God’s purposes for all time–a community of persons belonging to Him and one another who are urged to order their lives to prioritize the mission to which they are called, each with an important part to play. But sometimes church falls down the list of what we deem most important and we need the Bible’s strong exhortations and heavenly perspective to see things clearly and adjust our priorities.
We Over Me is a sermon series calling Christians to embrace and live out a biblical view of church life, one that sees the true value of corporate life together and what each individual person is called to be and do within it. What better way to face this season of transition than with the challenge to embrace the biblical vision for life in the Body of Christ!

For the Common Good

The authentication of true Christian spirituality is when the Holy Spirit’s operation and influence in your life is manifested through his gifts, his services, and his energies to the glory of Christ and the benefit of his body. It’s not all about you. He, and we, over me. Speaker: Sean…
What do you want to be when you grow up? There was a time when the answer to this question fell along the lines of aspiring to become a part of something greater than oneself. An astronaut. A scientist. A doctor. People who contribute to the betterment of human civilization. But as culture continues its movement toward the supremacy of the self, the answer to this question is becoming more and more superficial and self-focused. The most desirable future for today’s young people? To be a social media influencer.
What brings you your greatest joy and satisfaction? For some it’s their family and friends. For others it’s their calling or career, or perhaps even a hobby or special kind of activity. But what happens when those things are lost or stolen? Or what happens when those things become ordinary to us and we fail to see them for what they truly are?
