"Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him." (Colossians 3:16-17 ESV)

What do you think about when your mind is empty?

What is it that so fills your life that it is spilling out of you?

What are you teaching others?

You cannot be outwardly what you are not already inwardly.

Listen to last weeks sermon here.

New Member Sunday

This Sunday we welcome new friends into our church. These are individuals God has arranged to be joined to us for our good, the good of our church, and for His glory. They have completed Starting Point, been interviewed by our leaders, and are eager to press into the life of our church body.

"But as it is, God arranged the members in the body, each one of them, as he chose." (1 Corinthians 12:18 ESV)

It's one thing to be somewhere, another thing to belong. This is what we communicate when a person becomes a member of our church. We are all agreeing with one another...you belong to us and we belong to you. This church becomes your church as much as any other member of the church.

You belong to us. We belong to you.

Video Campaign

Great news. God has provided the finances to purchase better video equipment. This new gear will meet the needs of our growing church. More people will be able to see the lyrics on Sundays and join us in singing the anthem of saving grace. Thanks to all who gave cheerfully and sacrificially. May God use it all to bring him glory.

Star Wars

So what do you do when you buy a big projection screen? You break it in by watching Star Wars! Episode 4 of course. Mark your calendars. We are planning a church-wide, afternoon viewing of Star Wars to celebrate. BYO lunch.

Sunday, August 9th

Pastor Eric referenced The Reason for God by Timothy Keller this past week during his sermon from Mark 11:1-11. Buy the book on Amazon or at our bookstore.

The Christian gospel is that I am so flawed that Jesus had to died for me, yet I am so loved and valued that Jesus was glad to die for me. This leads to deep humility and deep confidence at the same time. It undermines both swaggering and sniveling. I cannot feel superior to anyone, and yet I have nothing to prove to anyone. I do not think more of myself nor less of myself. Instead, I think of myself less.

We've outgrown our existing Sunday projection equipment and need your help. Please consider giving towards the purchase of a new system that will meet our needs and enable us to reach more of our city. It's hard to sing when you can't see the lyrics from the back (or middle).

• New Rear Projection Screen
• Refurbished iMac Computer
• ProPresenter Media Projection Software

Thanks to everyone who has given. We are getting close to reaching our budget. Every gift makes a difference.

Give now by credit card.

Give Sunday by writing "video" on your check or envelope.

Have you been searching for an opportunity to grow in your knowledge, understanding and love for Scripture, Jesus and the Church? We've provided a solution: Sunday School. A weekly prelude to our service designed to acquaint us with Jesus and expose us to the depths of His Word.

If you haven't been to Sunday School recently, you may have missed our in depth study through our Church Statement of Faith. Join us for the next two weeks as we conclude this study and prepare to kick off what comes next.
