Setting the Captives Free
Far too many people are held in bondage today to the darkest parts of the MAZE. They are captives to porn. They are victims of harassment, assault or abuse. Some are even literally held as slaves. God sees this evil and injustice. He hears the victim’s cry. He acts today through His people to bring freedom to the captives. And one day He will act to end all evil and injustice forever!

Sexual Boundaries (Setting the Right Ones)In the MAZE we try to divorce sex from the intimacy of a committed marriage. In so doing, we undermine the sex and the marriage. But God created sex to be a powerful emotional and even spiritual exchange that produces intimacy and oneness.

Sexual BoundariesGod created sex to be an expression of relational oneness and permanence shared between a husband and a wife. It is a gift, but we have abused that gift in so many ways. Like a shattered pot, pieces of our soul are left with every partner we encounter. Like the same piece of duct tape used over and over, with each new partner it becomes harder and harder to form true, intimate and emotionally health bonds. These wounds remain until they are supernaturally healed through Jesus Christ.

Love NowAs Christians, we LOVE GOD and LOVE PEOPLE by giving our lives for others because Jesus gave His life for us. But that love and sacrifice is not just for the preferred future when everything is as it should be. It means LOVING NOW because we know God is working RIGHT NOW! He is present and active. We believe He has placed us at this point in history for a reason. And we urgently want to join Him!

Love PeopleEveryone we meet lives somewhere between the poles of passion or pain. Sharing Jesus with them is as simple as connecting the truth and love of Jesus with their passion or their pain. We do this best by pointing them to Jesus with our lips and our lives.

Love GodJesus said that every command of God hangs on our love for God and love for our neighbor. It is the standard of life with Jesus and the way in which we bring glory to God. Only Jesus modeled it completely, but in Christ I am transformed to become a person of love too.

The Kind of People Who Lay Down Their LivesAs JESUS gave His life for US, WE give our lives for OTHERS in our community and world. That’s the vision for our church. That’s why we worship . . . care about people . . . grow in Christ . . . are faithful to God’s Word even when it’s hard . . . and why we want to be a community that serves and loves like Jesus. And the only way to live out this vision is to be a follower of Jesus and not a fan.

Make it MatterThere’s something exciting about the idea of a brand-new year, isn’t there? It’s a clean slate, a blank page, a fresh start – insert your own cliché here – a chance to make things new. What would it look like if you prioritized your relationship with Jesus Christ above everything else this year?

Fixing What’s BrokenConflict is real! No one can change that. There is nothing you can do to make yourself conflict proof. But in Christ, you can have peace in your life despite any conflict that may come your way. In fact, because of the gift of peace with God, we can seek peace with others.
