with Guest Speaker Dylan Morss
May 13, 2010
What is the Kingdom of God? What if it is all around us but we are blind to it? Like Neo learning about the Matrix and his life's purpose, can we find a new way of seeing the the Kingdom of God in the world around us and the part God has created each of us to play in it?

Putting On Your Game Face
with Guest Speaker Jebidiah Bubb
May 13, 2010
Ever thought about how the most successful Olympic athletes train? How about swimming 50 miles each week (Micheal Phelps)? Such athletes pursue with all their might earthly prizes that won't last for eternity. As followers of Christ who desire a genuine and relevant faith, how much more should we pursue the eternal things of God?

Miracles and the Mission

If our goal is to share the Good News about Jesus with everyone, how do we reach spiritual people who don't believe in God? Or people who hate religion?

November 28, 2009
In the light of a traumatic injury to a member of Chi Alpha, Scott decides to focus this week's message on prayer.
