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? During this series leading up to Christmas, we will be looking at what God is "shopping for" this Christmas and what we might give him.

What is the most logical, reasonable thing that you can give to God?

Adopted

Surely, being a Christian has to mean more than just, “I’m not going to hell.” While we ARE saved FROM something, we are also saved FOR something.

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?

Our Response

November 5-6, 2011 | Teaching Pastor - Scott Nickell

Deal #2

October 29-30, 2011 | Teaching Pastor - Scott Nickell

What is the fallout of taking deal #2 (totally embracing God's grace)?

Deal #1

October 22-23, 2011 | Teaching Pastor - Scott Nickell

We all stand convicted and guilty before God based on our inability to live up to His perfect standard. The question becomes, what do we really rely on to be brought into relationship with Him.

Excuses

I Didn't Know

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

Justice provides. But Justice also protects.

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

We have become a culture bent on building everyone's self-esteem. Everyone gets a ribbon, there are no losers. What happens to our self-esteem when we come to terms with a very big God?

A Drop in the Ocean

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

Crossing Over

July 9-10, 2011 | Teaching Pastor - Scott Nickell

Many of us are slaves and yet think we are free.

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

July 2-3, 2011 | Lead Pastor - Jim Burgen

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

Every runner knows that food is vital to running a good race. If that's true in running, what should we be feeding on in our spiritual life?

Let US 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.
