Throughout Scripture, the metaphor of trees runs strong. We are told to be "like a tree planted by streams of water" and Jesus said, "I am the true vine, and my Father is the farmer. Every branch in me that doesn’t bear fruit, he takes away. Every branch that bears fruit, he prunes, that it may bear more fruit." We'll be walking through the book of Ephesians looking at what it means to be "rooted and grounded in love." Join us today as we start the journey in Ephesians 1.1-2!

Discover how God works through ordinary people to accomplish extraordinary things. This message explores the powerful story of Peter and John in Acts 4, who despite being 'uneducated and untrained men,' boldly proclaimed Jesus and saw 5,000 people come to faith. Learn what it means to chase God's dream by believing bigger than what seems possible, doing greater things than we could accomplish alone, and trusting further than our comfort allows. Understand how the Holy Spirit empowers ordinary believers to have extraordinary impact, just as He transformed Peter from someone who denied Jesus to someone who boldly proclaimed Him before the authorities. Explore the reality that approximately 3 billion people worldwide still have no access to the gospel, and discover how God wants to use you right where you are to reach those in your spheres of influence. This teaching unpacks how a city is transformed not by one person or church, but by each believer doing what God made them to do where they are. If you're questioning your adequacy or calling, this message offers the encouraging truth that you are enough—not because of your abilities, but because of God's power working through your obedience.

Continuing our sermon series looking at our core values and vision:Following Jesus means embracing His mission to make disciples of all nations. This mission flows from Jesus' complete authority over heaven and earth, earned through His death and resurrection. As disciples, we're called to go, make disciples, baptize, and teach others to obey Jesus' commands. This isn't optional—it's central to our identity as followers of Christ. We fulfill this mission both by speaking the gospel with our words and demonstrating it through our actions, reaching out to everyone in our sphere of influence without exception.
