Living by the Spirit in a world that pulls us another way
Series Overview:Paul’s words in Galatians remind us that the Christian life is not simply about trying harder to be good. It is about staying rooted in the Spirit so that the life of Christ can grow in us. Love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control are not personality traits. They are evidence of God’s grace at work in ordinary people.
In this series, we will explore the fruit God desires to grow in us and the “trouble” that often competes for space in our hearts and lives. Together, we will ask: What is shaping my reactions? And how might the Spirit form us into people who look more and more like Jesus?

Series Title: I AM: The God of Exodus, The God of Jesus Christ
Series Overview Who is God? In the book of Exodus, Moses encounters God in a burning bush and asks for God's name. The answer changes everything: "I AM WHO I AM." God reveals God's identity as the One who sees, hears, delivers, provides, guides, and remains faithful to God's people.
Centuries later, in the Gospel of John, Jesus makes a series of remarkable declarations: "I am the Bread of Life." "I am the Light of the World." "I am the Good Shepherd." "I am the Resurrection and the Life." These aren't simply metaphors. They echo God's holy name revealed in Exodus, revealing that the same God who rescued Israel is now made known through Jesus Christ.
Throughout this series, we'll journey through the story of Exodus alongside the Gospel of John, discovering how God's character remains constant from generation to generation. The God who called Moses still calls people today. The God who freed the oppressed still brings freedom. The God who provided in the wilderness still provides for us. And the great "I AM" continues to meet us in Jesus Christ.
Join us as we discover that the God of Exodus is the God of Jesus Christ—and the same faithful God who is present with us today.
The God revealed to Moses is the same God revealed in Jesus Christ.
Over four weeks, we will explore how God brings hope out of heartbreak, belonging out of loneliness, and new beginnings out of unexpected places. The story of Ruth reminds us that even when God seems quiet, grace is still at work—and life really is better when we walk through it together. Join us this August for Better Together as we explore how God brings hope, healing, and new beginnings.
