Worthless Devotion
What does a knowledge of God and His son Jesus do in your life? It is inherent in all of us that in each moment, our brains are making risk-reward decisions. We are willing to take higher risks with the greater probability of higher rewards and of course lower risks when the reward is also […]
Flowing Out
For the past four Sundays we have been unpacking each of the four things found in Acts 2:42 that the early church had devoted themselves to. In this message we wrap up our series through these verses by looking at what flowed out of that devotedness by taking a look at what to protect ourselves […]

Over the past two weeks we have explored primarily two passages of scripture that demonstrate that there is a Biblical mandate for believers to pursue deepening relationships with a small […]
Striving Together
