Unsinkable

April 15th, 2012 marked the 100th anniversary of the sinking of the Titanic, a ship once considered to be “unsinkable.” As a church and as individuals, what lessons or truths can we learn from the Titanic so that we don’t repeat history and end up sinking our lives and the lives of the people that we love?

This Changes Everything

Throughout history, there have been certain moments and events that, from that point on changed everything. Things were never the same. In this series, we are going to look at several of those "from this point on, things were never the same" events.

What's It Going to Take?

April 28-29, 2012 | Lead Pastor - Jim Burgen

Life-changing moments only change our lives if we are willing to pay attention to what God may be trying to teach us through those moments. (Baptism, Conversion of Saul, Acts 9)

Intersection

Life is often times described as a journey or a road. If that’s true, then along that road a traveler will experience intersections, crossroads, exit ramps, and detours that will cause them to stop and make a decision regarding which direction to go...from this point on. The purpose of this series is to look at ways and truths that can help us better navigate those intersections.

Backseat Driver

What do we do when following Jesus is something totally different than what we've ever thought of or considered before? (Nicodemus, Bad Religion, A better way, the love of God)

Reverse Engineering

Many times, we, as men, have a vague idea of who we want to be and where we want to end up in life...but, spend most of our time thinking about who we currently are and what’s going on right now. Then, when we never experience or achieve what we said we wanted, we act surprised, shocked, even angry, and confused. In this series, we want to challenge men to look into the future and where they want to end up. Then, work backwards from there to where they currently are. It’s called Reverse Engineering and maybe, this time, things can be different.

Christmas Presence

Christmas is the time when we give and receive gifts to and from people that we love. The question is…what can you give to God? I mean, it's Jesus' birthday, right?

Two Deals

In life we are often confronted with choices. In this series we will explore the two deals on the table for how to live your life that Paul explains in the book of Romans. Are you going to live your life relying on your own ability to do good things? Or are you going to live your life relying on God who has done a very good thing for you?

Deal #2

Deal #1

October 8-9, 2011 | Lead Pastor - Jim Burgen

In this short two week series, we are going to take a look at the excuses we use when what we want to do is in conflict with what God tells us to do.

Excavate

Just like anything in history, occasionally, it is good to stop and look around and make sure that we haven't drifted off course of our original purpose or direction. In order to do that, we have to do some "excavating." We have to dig away all of the layers and layers of "stuff" that tend to accumulate, cover up and bury the original model. It's the same with our lives, our faith and our church. In this series, we will look back at the original model and ask ourselves if we are still on course.

9/11 tribute. How did we get to where we are today?

H2O

Man has traveled thousands of miles outside of the Earth’s atmosphere, landed on the moon, and sent satellites to distant reaches of the galaxy. Yet over 70% of our own planet is still unknown, unexplored, and unexperienced...because it is covered by water. Many of us have learned to paddle, swim, surf, or sail across the surface of the water, but few of us have ventured below. Is it possible that we’ve adopted the same kind of surface-level, toe-in-the-water, skim-along-the-top relationship with God...and what are the possibilities and risks of diving deep?

Steady Tide

September 3-4, 2011 | Teaching Pastor - Scott Nickell

God is faithful

Thirsty

August 27-28, 2011 | Teaching Pastor - Scott Nickell

Like a River

August 13-14, 2011 | Lead Pastor - Jim Burgen

The justice of God is described as a rolling river. His righteousness is a never-failing stream. What does that mean for his people?

Big God...Little Me

August 6-7, 2011 | Teaching Pastor - Scott Nickell

A Drop in the Ocean

July 30-31, 2011 | Lead Pastor - Jim Burgen

Running

The people who wrote the Bible used many comparisons and metaphors in an attempt for us, the readers, to understand how "spiritual" matters and "real life, everyday" matters aren't really that different. Here in Colorado, you can't drive more than a few blocks before you encounter a runner out training for a race or trying to get into better shape. Running has many similarities to faith. Both can lead to really good places. And, both can be frustrating and cause us to give up and quit. The question we're going to look at in this series is, how do you keep running even when you feel like you can't keep going?

Running With a Limp

What do you do when Jesus gets in the way of what you want to do and where you want to run?

Running your race is better if you have someone to run with you.

Hitting the Wall

June 11-12, 2011 | Lead Pastor - Jim Burgen

Every runner eventually hits a wall that determines whether they quit...or keep going.

The Race

June 4-5, 2011 | Lead Pastor - Jim Burgen

Just like in a foot race, there are many things in our faith that can "trip us up."

So Far, So Good

In this first series in this new building, we want to make sure that we remember who and what brought us this far...and who and what we need to be sure to hang on to as we move into the future.
