On January 13, 1984, President Ronald Reagan issued a proclamation designating January 22 as the first National Sanctity of Human Life Day (January 22, 1973, was the day the U.S. Supreme Court legalized abortion-on-demand in all 50 states). Churches around the United States use the day to celebrate God’s gift of life, commemorate the many lives lost to abortion, and commit themselves to protecting human life at every stage. Today we must do all we can to dignify life on behalf of the unborn, elderly, disabled, embryonic stem cell research and euthanasia.

Sing a Little Louder
Inspired by the true story of an elderly man who in his youth witnessed the horrors of the Jewish Holocaust from the pews of his Church. The 12-minute short film provides a stunning message for the twenty-first century and the current genocide that’s taking place with unborn children in America. This film was shot on location in Holland in August 2014 and is being used to help raise awareness for the one in five children who are aborted before they have a voice.

Embrace the Roots Challenge! God’s deep desire is for each of us to thrive, but we can’t thrive without strong roots and healthy nutrition. The Roots Challenge is a 9-week experience designed to help us grow in both of these areas: refresh your passion for God and become a channel of change to those around you.

Snow, and mistletoe, and presents under a tree. Well-behaved children — and adults — gathered around the fire. The perfect gift; the perfect response. Visions of sugar plums, and…wait. Whose Christmas is this?! Each December we log miles on the highway and points on our credit cards hoping to connect people, places, and longings. As we wrap our gifts and watch for snow, we can’t ignore the tension in our world and our relationships. We’re looking harder than ever for home.…
Sunday, November 6 is the International Day of Prayer for the persecuted Church. Christians around the world are facing persecution in unprecedented numbers. To get a better understanding of the extreme cases of persecution Christians in other countries are currently facing, take a look at the Open Doors World Watch List. Because we have freedom of religion in the United States, we can freely and openly worship Jesus Christ. Here at Christ’s Church we’ll be participating in the IDOP for the…

It’s rooted in the 10 Days between the biblical Feasts of Trumpets and the Day of Atonement. 10 Days is intended to be part of the answer to Jesus’ prayer in John 17:21: “Let them…

Pastor Darrell VanWagner of River of Live brought a message from God’s word, challenging us to focus…
Celebrities. Musicians. Athletes. They’re the icons of our day– or at least, of the moment. The media saturates us with their stories: a viral music video, a quick rise to the top of the sports world, or NASDAQ. We see the headlines, and think, “really?” and then before too long we’re thinking, “wow, really.” We start following the stories thinking they’re just a guilty pleasure, but is there more? Woven into the stories, through the noise, and the hype, are…
Since September, our Sunday messages have been all about Re-Discovering Jesus. We’ve taken a deeper look at Jesus’ teachings, his compassion, and his impact on human history – from Old Testament prophecy to his miraculous birth, sacrificial death, and life-giving resurrection. The final leg of this teaching journey is a series we’re calling, “Strong to the Finish.” For eight weeks in May and June, we’ll explore the ways Jesus is at work in our lives and world today, and how…
Have you run out of gas, spiritually? Things were cruising along just fine–a couple bumps in the road–until one day you realize the momentum is gone. The engine’s making a funny sound, and the maintenance light is on (again). Or maybe you’ve never really gotten your faith in gear. You see people moving along on their journeys, but you’re on the side of the road, watching, wondering what it would take for you to get going. Could you navigate life…
