BIG IDEA: It is time to lose your religion and follow Jesus!
Have you ever felt like there was meant to be more to life? You are just drifting, overwhelmed by stress, work, and you are always pressed for time--you find yourself merely going through the motions. You just want FREEDOM! You want to be saved from this hum-drum life you're living. You just want to experience life the way it was meant to be. If this describes you, then we invite you to find the freedom, life, and the answers you are looking for by losing your religion.
Finding Freedom - Galatians 5:1, 13-14
This message will focus on helping each person discover what it means to trade their sorrow, shame and sin for God's peace, hope, and forgiveness. Satan uses these things against us in our lives to keep us in bondage...but Christ has been sent to free us!
Finding Jesus - John 6:25-40
This message will focus on the aspect of shedding our religious traditions and forms in order to truly find and live for Jesus Christ in a life-fulfilling way.
Finding Life - Philippians 1:20-21
This message will focus on the concept of what it means to live a fulfilled life of purpose and mission. We will explore what this statement means: to live is Christ, to die is gain! This is opposite of the world's advise. We'll discover what this means in practical terms.
Fish TalesFishing can be fun, but what is someone's life depends upon it? What does it mean to reach the lost in a lost world? This message series will equip with the knowledge and passion to reach the lost.
Jesus wants to make His followers fishers of men. God will take and shape the potential of His followers so that they will be perfectly positioned in someone else's life to help them understand how to be a follower of Christ.

Why bother to try to convince people to accept Christ? Salvation is found in no one else but the name of Jesus. As followers of Christ, we have to fish, because the message of salvation is not intuitive; it must be shared.
Pastor Ben Radant, our Children's Minister, is presenting the message this week

What's the relationship between building a family upon Christ and being a fisher of men? Come and find out this Sunday.
Becoming a Christian isn't about praying a prayer, attending church, or becoming committed to God. The message of Christ is simple: God loved us enough to give His Son, Jesus, to die for us. All He asks of us is that we place our trust in Him, and He will give us eternal life.
It is easy to become consumed in our Christian world, and forget about those who don't know God. It is our responsibility to go back to those people and share what we've discovered.
Pastor Chad Allen, our Youth Minister, is presenting the message this week

This sermon series will focus on the different reasons why Christians can praise God on a daily basis even during the midst of times of persecution, trials, tribulations, and times of victory. We will examine what it means to walk the path of praise and thanksgiving and how this relates to true victory found within Jesus Christ. The challenge throughout this series will be for each Christian to bring a prayer of thanksgiving and praise up to God on a daily basis no matter what difficulties they may be facing on that day.

Living Beyond MyselfDiscover joy through serving others! One of the greatest realizations of a Christ-follower can make is this: You have been created and equipped to live an abundant life filled with joy and extraordinary fulfillment. And Christ says that to live this pulse-quickening, satisfying life, all that’s needed is to mirror his habit of serving the people around you. But where do you begin?
