"How to Feast” focuses on how and why we should spend time every day in the Bible.

God’s word is like food: we need it daily to sustain us. As a church, we will be taking three weeks to explore the Bible’s importance: why do we need it and how should we interact with it? Join us and let’s eat.

How do you experience a life change that actually changes your life? Last week we looked at how to break free from the destructive habits in our life. But how do we actually experience the deep transformation that we long for? In the conclusion of Reset, we discover the necessary context for us to have, not just a momentary change but a sustained life change in Christ.

How do you break the power of destructive habits in your life?  In part 1 of Reset we learned that we have a new starting point but the problem is we still have all our old patterns and practices that keep us being the person God made us to be.  This week we learn how to break free from the habits that have held us captive.

Every New Year we have renewed fervor for life change and personal resolutions. Unfortunately, that excitement tends to only last a short while, and results in little to no actual life change. How would our lives radically change if Jesus were in the business of making all things new?

Where do you begin when you need to hit a reset on your life? We have all tried New Year’s resolution or goals that just fall flat on their face shortly after we began. What if there is a different starting point altogether?

This week we are learning about the third member of the Trinity: the Holy Spirt as we conclude our series on the Apostle's Creed. Holy Spirit: The Holy Spirit is the third person of the Trinity, God in very God who alone gives new life to the believer [Regeneration: to spiritually be made alive] and empowers the believer to live out this new life [Sanctification: the process of becoming more like Jesus]. The Holy Spirit indwells every follower of Jesus and testifies to our spirit that we are children of God.

At the center of Christianity is not a philosophy or a list of rules to obey. At the center of Christianity is a person. Jesus doesn’t ask us to believe in his teachings, or say that he is pointing the way to God.  Jesus calls us to believe in him and that he is the way, the truth and the life. Who exactly is Jesus?  What do Christians believe about Jesus?  What if God became one of us? And what does that mean for all of us?

The early church was incredibly diverse ethnically, socioeconomically, and politically.  As theologian Scot McKnight describes, it was a "fellowship of differents and unlikes". However, it was their unwavering belief in Jesus that united this fellowship of differents. It was this unity of belief amidst their diversity that made the early church irresistible and unstoppable.

What do we do when we are faced with tough passages in Scripture? How do we know how to interpret them and understand what God really means? Throughout the Bible, we see how tightly Jesus holds to the Word of God. It seems to be that we should know the Bible better so we can therefore know Him better.
