This week in our series, “The Journey Deeper”, Pastor Jeni preaches on the topic of Witness. First looking at Colossians 3:1-5 & 10, Pastor Jeni reminds us of the biblical definition of “to witness”. She goes on to preach on how our lives are the greatest witness that we possess and that through our lives we can put Jesus on display. Furthermore, we can simply tell our stories of how Christ saved and is transforming us. Join us as we continue in “The Journey Deeper” series with a meaningful message on Witness.
Things to consider as you listen:
To witness is to tell what you’ve seen or heard.

Welcome to week 5 in our series titled, “The Journey Deeper”, where we are exploring how the regular, rhythmic practices of a Jesus follower become the trellis on which their life in Christ grows. This week is all about Community. We take a look at the early Church formation as well as the creation of humanity at the very beginning to hopefully shape how we view - what we believe - of Community. Join us as we seek God’s direction for our community-driven, spiritual lives together.
Things to consider as you listen:
As image bearers of the Triune God, we were created for community.
We’ve been intentionally designed to need one another.
1 in 5 U.S. adults experience feelings of loneliness on a daily basis.
Fictive kinship group = people who are not related by blood or marriage but form strong bonds and act as family members, providing emotional support, stability, and practical care.
The local church is built on relationships that become “kin” - where encouragement, support, and accountability is foundational.
Community Groups - a chosen family built upon shared life and commitment to Journey Deeper together through fellowship, study of God’s Word, and prayer.
ACTS 2:42-47
4 Invitations for Community:
Be family around a table.
Share your joys and sorrows.
Advocate for growth.
Stay.

We are back with another week in the series, “The Journey Deeper”, in which we are exploring spiritual disciplines that we as believers can discover and implement in our lives. This week’s sermon was all about Scripture. Pastor Jeni took us through several passages in Scripture to remind us of the goal of Scripture and what Scripture is and is not. Join us for a deep dive into the purpose of Scripture this week as we journey deeper together.
Things to consider as you listen:
God’s Word is not our “how-to” guide for life. It’s our “who-is-God” manual that informs who we become.
Knowing God has to be our goal for reading Scripture.
The life of Jesus is the lens through which we read the Old Testament.
Scripture leads us to salvation.
Scripture teaches & corrects us.
Scripture gives us wisdom & discernment.
Scripture prepares & equips us for every good work.
Scripture gives us hope.

We are returning for Week 2 of our series titled, “The Journey Deeper”, in which we dig deep into the spiritual practices that form us into the likeness of Christ. Week of this series is all about Service. Pastor Jeni leads us on a walk through Scripture as we discover together how service is called to be both internal and external/for the Church and for the world. Join us as we build upon our understanding of what it means to serve one another and the world.
Things to consider as you listen:
The regular, rhythmic practices of a Jesus follower become the trellis on which their life in Christ grows.
Jesus followers do what Jesus did.
Jesus followers are washers of feet.
Serving is both internal work & external witness.
It makes an impact in the church & in the world.
INTERNAL WORK
CHURCH When we serve one another,
it changes us.
WORLD When we serve those in need,
it changes us.
EXTERNAL WORK
CHURCH When we serve one another, we are
embodying God’s love for his people.
WORLD When we serve those in need, we are
embodying God’s love for all.
We are most like Christ when we are washing feet.

We are kicking off a new sermon series this week titled, “The Journey Deeper”. This series will be all about spiritual disciplines that shape and form us. We will be discovering God’s best for us through 8 spiritual disciplines found throughout Scripture. Pastor Jeni introduced our first practice this week, “Sabbath and Solitude”. Join us for a wonderful first week in our new series.
*There will be a resource list at the bottom of this page.
Things to consider as you listen:
The regular, rhythmic practices of a Jesus follower become the trellis on which their life in Christ grows.
Be WITH Jesus. Become LIKE Jesus. DO what Jesus did.
The invitation before us is to engage in these practices both alone and together.
God rested.
The first day for the first humans was a day of holy rest with God.
The world tells us we earn rest. The Good News tells us God gifts us rest as a testament that our worth is 100% defined by who God is & what He does, not what we do.
A day of holy rest has been a part of God’s design since the beginning.
Sabbath - “to stop”
The Sabbath is a 24-hour period set aside to stop, rest, delight, and worship. An ancient way to find rest for your soul.
STOP - The deliberate decision to disrupt the undertow of demands that never end.
REST - The deliberate decision to set a different pace for the day.
DELIGHT - The invitation to make space for the things that bring joy.
WORSHIP - The deliberate decision to make this day an act of worship before the Lord.
Solitude
Solitude - a taste of sabbath rest every day
Through solitude, we’re invited into Jesus’ pattern of retreating from distractions to be fully present with the Father and returning to serve in community.
