"Dying to Live" - Tim Mannin

Jesus. He changed everything about everything (Week 48) On this palm Sunday, we reflect on what it meant for Jesus to take the cross for us, what He experienced in those moments, and how it shook the world forever.

"Bringing Life" - Tim Mannin

Jesus. He changed everything about everything (Week 42) Jesus commissions his people to go and do what He did, to make disciples.

We must pay attention to our life and realize that the people and places that we intersect with everyday are brimming with potential to bring life to our city. (Luke 4:43, Luke 10, Matt. 28:18-20, 2 Cor. 6:11-13)

"Repent & Believe" - Tim Mannin

Jesus. He changed everything about everything (Week 20)  We all have areas of sin in our life that have been tripping us up for far too long. What is the area of vulnerability in your life? In order to see spiritual breakthrough in our life, we must learn to repent and re-focus our heart. Repentance is a walk, not a one time choice. When we allow God to transform our mind, we begin to see our sin and struggles the way that He does. (John 10:10, Mark 1:14-15, Luke 15:8-10, Gen. 4, Her. 12:1-2, Psalm 119:11)

Wells (Part 6) What if bringing life to your city was more satisfying than anything else?

Grow: Teachings From The Gospels (Part 11) Just like a child playing hide and seek, we hide from God in plain site. He doesn't force us out of hiding, but invites us into a relationship with Him.

Bringing Life To Our City (Part 4) The mission of Jesus is restoration. We bring life to our city when we learn to live like a sent people, not a saved people.

No matter who you are or what you're going through, there is restoration for you in Jesus.   (Luke 24, John 20)
