You Belong Here

We don’t care what you wear, how many piercings or tattoos you have, what candidate you voted for or even if you know anything about the Bible. We are a church filled with people just like you with every kind of story imaginable.

It’s dark, it’s loud, and it smells a lot like coffee. We love Jesus.
We love the Bible, and we love our church.

We’re having a ton of fun, but we aren’t just playing around.
We love what we get to do here.

We think you’ll love it too.

Last week’s Teaching:
Healing Service

 

Once a year, we set aside a special service to do something the Bible repeatedly calls us to do: pray boldly and ask God to move.

This week’s message was intentionally short so that we could spend the majority of our service praying together, coming to the altar, and asking God for healing and help.

In this message, Pastor Tim explains what the Bible teaches about healing:

• Healing is biblical, both physical and spiritual.
• Our part is to believe, confess, ask, and trust.
• God’s part is to hear, heal, and answer according to His will.
• Sometimes God’s answer is immediate. Sometimes it takes time. Sometimes He asks us to wait. And sometimes His answer is no, because His grace is sufficient.
• Our confidence is never in a pastor, an elder, oil, or even prayer itself. Our confidence is in Jesus.

Healing is a tool, not the goal. The goal is to know Jesus, trust Jesus, and glorify Jesus.

And because we trust Him, we can boldly ask Him for miracles while still praying the prayer Jesus prayed: “Not my will, but yours be done.” Luke 22:42

If God has answered a prayer or done something significant in your life, we would love to hear about it.
