10 Years of Faithfulness

It's almost hard to believe its been 10 years since a small group of brothers and sisters in Christ, were sent out by our Downtown Church to show the love of Christ to our neighbors along Two Notch Road.

For 10 years now, God has been faithful to us.  For 10 years, we have sought to respond to God’s faithfulness by being faithful to Him as a Jesus-Centered Family on Mission with Him.  So, with this sermon series, we’ll look back on and celebrate God’s faithfulness to us and how we, as his church, seek to faithfully live out what He calls us to in His Word.  We will also look forward and consider how we can continue to grow in faithfulness to God over the next 10 years.

Being faithful as a Jesus-Centered Family on Mission hasn’t always been easy, but it has always been worth it.  Let’s step into the next chapter of what God has for us with great unity, excitement, and hope.

Fruit of the Spirit

Do you ever feel like there are two competing forces waging war within you as you try to follow Jesus? Do you ever feel a gap between what you want your discipleship to look like and the actual lived reality of your day-to-day life? 

Galatians 5 gives weight to this battle within us, telling us about these two competing forces with competing desires - the Spirit and the flesh. And the invitation for all of us as followers of Jesus is to crucify the flesh and cultivate the fruit.

This series will take nine weeks to walk through the Fruit of the Spirit we are called to cultivate, as we examine the life and teachings of Jesus and how the Fruit of the Spirit was evident in His life.

To help facilitate LifeGroup discussion, we'll be posting resources for each week of the series.
