"Generous" - Tim Mannin
The Body of Christ (Week 7) Tackling the sometimes difficult topic of giving in the church, we discuss why God created giving, and find that it is not for Himself or His church, but for you and your heart.

The Body of Christ (Week 6) We are part of a movement. The Church is the most significant and powerful movement in the history of the world. We see examples of the apostles allowing their faith to cost them. Are we willing to pay the same price? Are we willing to stand? (Acts 5, 2 Corinthians 11)

Everyone matters and is needed. (1 Cor. 12:1-7, 12:24-27, 14:1, Eph 4:11-16, Mark 10:42-45, John 14:12-17)

The Body of Christ (Week 2) We have come a long way as a church in the last 2 and 1/2 years, but what stories are missing from our story? What do we want to see in our church moving forward? We must be about making disciples. We are an organism, not an organization. (Matt. 28:18-20, Eph. 4:11-16)

The Body of Christ (Part 1) A good church does not simply "happen." The church needs you. It needs everyone, working together. Within all of us, there is something that beats quietly in the background of our hearts that is calling us to more. (John 10:10, Rev. 1:10-11, 3:14-20)
