Sermon Series: Work It Matters
Senior Pastor Jeff Manion begins the Work: It Matters series by looking at work in a perfect world. In the first two chapters of Genesis, we see that God worked and he gave people work to do. God provides a three-step pattern for us to follow: chaos, order, satisfaction. Moving in the New Testament, we learn that whether we like the work we do or not, we should do it well and with a good attitude for Jesus.
Genesis 1-2
Colossians 2:2-3

The Masks of God
Senior Pastor Jeff Manion talks about three radical ideas that can transform the way we view our work and the work of others. In this conversation, we see that work is an expression of God’s care, an expression of our love and is an overflow of grace. Matthew 6:9-11 Mark 12:28-31 Ephesians 2:8-10

The Sea
Pastor Aaron Buer continues our Spaces series by exploring The Sea, the space of fear, through three scenes from Mark's Gospel. We discover that when a furious storm leaves seasoned fishermen feeling powerless, the answer isn't to stop the fear but to remember who is in the boat with us. We learn that the same Jesus who calms the chaos also has power over spiritual darkness and over death itself, freeing a man held by a legion of demons and raising a little girl to life. We are challenged to respond to Jesus with reverence and awe by trusting him, worshiping him, and obeying him, even when fear feels overwhelming.
