Journey: The Trip of a Lifetime
We’re all on a journey to somewhere. But what if in the end we’re all really trying to get to the same place? If so, we need a little help. To get to where you’re going you need some basics: a map, a reliable ride, a reason, a proven path, and some determination. Once you’ve got those, your course is set and the Journey awaits.

Think
The purpose of this series is to show the spiritual relevance in and behind many of today’s most buzz-worthy books, movies, or trends. Each of these has gained prominence in one way or another because they each hit a central value deep within each of us. The desire of this series is that people will learn the biblical truths, see the error in, or be challenged in some way to think about things that create such a buzz in our culture.

Ecclesiastes
What’s the point? What matters? What lasts?
Is what I do, have, and aspire towards really important? These are all questions we ask ourselves at one point or another.

all said and done.

Who do you say I am?
Who is Jesus? Ask ten people and you’ll get ten different answers. Even though He’s the single greatest personality in all of history, many really don’t know who He is. So, who do you say He is?

Longing
Each of us has longings. Whether it’s to be loved,
considered important, or make some kind of substantial difference in the world…weÕve all got them. They are part of who
we are and what we aspire to be. Some of them give us great excitement while others paralyze us with fear.
But at the core of these longings is something greater. We desire an encounter, a breakthrough, a touch by something or someone greater than us. We might not know exactly why or in what way but something in us aspires to more.
Join us this holiday season as we seek to discover the Longing deep within our souls.

Jonah
A runaway prophet and a big fish?
The book of Jonah is more than just the story of a man and his refusal to obey God. It’s a story of God’s
patience for His people and His heart for those who do not yet know Him. The story of Jonah calls people to set aside
their prejudices and reach out to their cities that they might “call urgently on God.”

Out of the Gray
God is speaking and so is our culture. It’s time for us
to sift through the colorless ambiguity of our world and allow the vibrant truth of God to emerge out of the gray.

Vision
God has called His people into a radical pursuit of Himself.
Being the church requires that we throw off fear, apprehension, and doubt and follow the leading of God in obedience and willful
abandon. Join us as we talk about where God’s leading this expression of His church…theGathering.

Freedom
We all want it, but very few of us know how to get it. We’re restless in our pursuit to do enough, be enough, or amount to
enough. But how do we rest? How do we find Freedom in a world where it seems so out of reach? Join us as we journey through the book of
Galatians to discover…Freedom.
