Abide

John 15:1-8
Guest Speaker: Elita Friesen

In John 15, Jesus teaches us that we are to abide in him. But for many of us the question might be how?  How are we to remain attached to Jesus no matter what life throws at us? In John 15, Jesus paints a stunning picture of how (and why!) we are to abide in Christ.

Human Identity and Disability

Guest Speaker: Greg Harris

One of the non-negotiable truths of Christianity is the inestimable value of human life. We believe that every single human being is made as the image of God. While we believe that to be true, we don't always live in light of that truth in our everyday lives, especially when it comes to how we think about and engage in the area of disabilities. This message helps provide a framework for thinking about the topic of human identity, disability, and why it matters for the life of the local church.
