This past Sunday Pastor Greg Kennedy began our new message series From the Inside Out.

He shared what the Kingdom of God is and what it means to be a part of it.

You can check out the message here when it is available.

Think About This

Why is the Kingdom of God so different than many other kingdoms? Why is obeying the law in the Kingdom of God not what is required to be a part? Why does God allow us to voluntarily become a part of His Kingdom?

Answering the Call

This past Sunday we gave the opportunity to Open Door to become a volunteer in helping us minister to the children and youth of Open Door. 

Boy did you answer the call!! 

Over 40 individuals signed up to help us take our children's and youth departments to the next level. 

Thanks to all those who signed up and are already serving! 

If you would like to volunteer in an area of the church click here. 

As a final note we wanted to share with you a comment we recieved from a visitor to ODM and the experience he had. 

[He] wanted to let us know what a wonderful job we did.  Someone came out to the car, helped him into his wheelchair, and pushed him in.  When he had to go to the restroom, someone went with him to make sure he didn't fall, and at the end of the service he was pushed back out to the car and helped in the car.  [He] wanted to call and say thank you to everyone for being so nice and that he would be back.  [He] said he had never seen anyone be so nice and to help in that way.

He regularly attends another church out of town, but he wants Open Door to be his second church home.

It is awesome to serve with such great people in the kingdom. 

ODM you are awesome!!!

Think About This

Faith formation is never just about ourselves. It’s about one another because our lives have an impact on those around us. How does this affect the way we relate to our children? What responsibility do parents have to demonstrate the character of God to their children?

With Everything

We've had a lot of questions about the song that we've sung for the past two weeks.

We sang it to end the Beautiful Collision series and we sang it again to end worship and last Sunday's service.

The name of the song is With Everything by Hillsong.

You can purchase or download the song and the entire CD through iTunes by clicking here or you can visit the Rock Christian Bookstore.

What does the song mean to you?  Click here to comment.

Think About This

Did Jesus Christ pay the ultimate sacrifice just so that we could go to heaven? What is His desire for us and how does the parable of the lost son demonstrate that?
