Series: Church = X
Join our community for a journey through the story of the early church in the book of Acts. 
For most of us church has become the sum of our experiences that we have had while we've been a part of it. But what if church could be redefined by the dream that God has for his people when they come together in His name? What might happen to our city and in our world if the church equaled a new variable that was defined by our lives lived on mission?

Transformations come only as we go the long way round, only as we're willing to walk a different, longer, more arduous, more inward, more prayerful route.
Series: Community
Join us this Sunday as we examine the word and idea of community.
Series: The True Vine
We are exploring the life of Jesus for the next several months by following the chronological narrative of his life through the first four books of the New Testament. If he is the ultimate human example of life and love, it makes sense that we would dedicate a significant amount of time to exploring who he really is.
Throughout the series we're going to keep coming back to the image that Jesus gives about himself in John 15 where he says that he is The True Vine.

Series: Game Show
How do we live in a world that has become polarized
by legalism and relativity? Do we have to choose sides or live somewhere in the
middle? Is it simply a choice that we make based on our personality and
upbringing? Join us as we seek to discover the role that truth plays in a world
that feels ambiguous.

Series: Delusions of Grandeur
Some of us have glamorized faith. It is not for the faint of heart and for those looking for a quick mission trip to Mexico. It is a life. And if we don't live it we end up like the disciples at the end of John who settled to go back to fishing.

Series: The Sound of Your Voice
Priests in scripture represented healing and forgiveness to the people as they burnt offerings. Jesus was our ultimate priest through his life sacrifice that created a new covenant that eliminated the role of the priest. And yet the new testament tells us that we are now a "royal priesthood". This now begs the question, what is the role of a 21st century priest?

Series: Epilogue
21st century Christianity finds itself in the 29th chapter of the book of Acts. Most people read until chapter 28 and never fully realize the invitation to continue the journey into the 29th chapter. For the next 5 weeks we will be looking at the different parts that make up our "being." From there we can better discern how to point those parts toward God that our lives truly find its purpose in the story of God. As we follow Jesus, our lives comprise the Epilogue to the book of Acts.
Series: i am not a number
For the next two weeks, the STATUS community will be taking an introspective look into making ourselves known. In a culture that values numbers and results, anonymity can often be the result.
For us to actually find community we must run the risk of honesty, vulnerability, accountability and failure; four words that don't land well in 21st century America, four words that were embedded in the teachings of Jesus.
Series: FAMOUS LAST WORDS
