Rerouting
The birth of Jesus was foretold for thousands of years, but even with all of the information about him, nothing could compare with what a moment in his presence would actually be like. The wisemen had heard about him but it wasn’t until they met Him that they truly understood that Jesus can change your life.
Identity Matters
Identity Matters
Your identity matters. Who you believe you are, and who you choose to follow. Jesus came to set you free so that you could live out you’re full God-given identity and purpose, and he came to show you as a man dad it is entirely possible to see the kingdom of heaven come down.

How does Peter go from telling Jesus he’d die for Him, and later while trying to defend Jesus from his captors, cutting off the ear of someone who was there to arrest Jesus – to 44 years later asleep in a prison cell chained to two guards the night before he was to be executed? How do you go from feeling like you need to conquer the world by exerting your voice or strength to being at peace with whatever life bring your way? In Peter’s life, we see that real spiritual maturity is measured in depth of surrender and expressed in obedience, not in hype or overconfidence. Spiritual maturity isn’t measured in how many bible verses you can quote, it is measured in how you die to yourself.

The lives of the disciples weren’t transformed because of their scholastic study. In Acts 4:13 we read why they were transformed, because they “had been with Jesus.” As a church we are charting a course for the future and everything is hinged on one thing, the presence of Jesus. We believe that Jesus is the most attractional and transformational force on earth, and that if we get serious about walking into His presence we will experience the same proximity effect that the disciples did.

The Lion And The Lamb
The Lion And The Lamb
Jesus is described in many different ways throughout the Bible, and two of them in Revelation 5 are as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah and the Lamb that was slain. But what does it really mean, and who cares? These two names of Jesus point to two different sides of Jesus’ character that can literally change your life, your relationships and your future.
