Pastor Aaron Buer teaches about the power of the Gospel to shape our family relationships. Through this conversation, we are challenged to live out our identity in Christ as completely full and recognize we don’t need anyone else to fill us. This truth enables us to live out love and respect in marriage relationships, empowers us to honor our parents and helps us train up our children in the ways of Jesus.

Pastor Jeff Manion introduces us to Gospel Change. Through this conversation, we see that the deeper we go into the Gospel, the more we become the people God designed us to be. We are encouraged to remember that in Jesus we are infinitely loved, treasured and secure. We cannot earn God’s love, it is a gift we receive. As a result of receiving God’s love, we are able to live in love, forgiveness, sacrifice and generosity.
Pastor Jeff Manion talks about God’s plan to renovate our life. Through this conversation, we see that God has plans for our life even before we choose to follow him. We are challenged to allow our new identity as God’s beloved children to transform us into people who are truthful.
Pastor Aaron Buer walks us through how the gospel changes our view of pain. Through this conversation, we see that God offers hope for a day of complete restoration. We are also challenged to see the hope of transformation through pain as God uses the difficulty we face to develop the character of Jesus in us.
Pastor Aaron Buer discusses ways we can sabotage the gospel message in our lives and the lives of others. Through this conversation, we see that when we try to add something to the gospel, think we can earn the gospel or that something is holding us back from being accepted, we sabotage the work of the gospel. We are challenged to focus on the role grace pays in the gospel.
Pastor Jeff Manion walks us through the power of letting go with the help of the gospel. Through this conversation, we learn that when we go deep into the gospel story, it has the power to transform us one day at a time. We are challenged to provide forgiveness and that optimal forgiveness can provide restoration of a relationship and end the flow and cycle of hate. Here is an additional video from Tim Keller that can help with understanding and practicing forgiveness "Why Tim Keller wrote his new book Forgiveness" .

Where does God meet us? Throughout Scripture, he meets his people in real places—mountains, deserts, seas, and the temple. Each place teaches us something about who he is. Join us for The Places Where God Meets Us, a six-week series exploring how these spaces point forward to Jesus, the one who meets us still.
