Start the new year in Acts.
Do you ever feel dysfunctional? Do you allow actions in your past to define you? Do you wonder if your life is substantial? If so, I have good news. You can become a whole person. You can be remade. You can live a life that matters. This is the operative work of the church: to be transformed by the power of Jesus and to join Him in changing the world. That’s why the AXIS vision is to, “Become whole & Remake the world through Jesus.” When I relay this to people often... Read More

Put God In His Place
It’s easy to over-simplify worship with our definitions. It happens all the time. It’s also easy to over-philosophize worship. This too happens much. I would like to humbly submit that worship, amongst other things, is the act by which we keep God in His place and we keep ourselves in ours. Do you acknowledge in this moment that God is the sovereign ruler of your life? Are you willing to move with His promptings thus acknowledging He is great and you work in... Read More

On Wednesday night, Josh talked about the kingdom of heaven, and the parable of the man who found treasure in the field and sold all that he had to buy the field. He knew that was what he had to do.

It is our choice to acknowledge God and see what He is calling us to do. Like Jake said a couple weeks... Read More

Feb 8th: Wonders
Everyone kept feeling a sense of awe; and many wonders & signs were taking place through the apostles. Acts 2:43 (NASB) Have you ever heard that fear is a subtle form of atheism? I have. For years this idea has been a source of guilt for me. And that’s because I tend to worry about things. Some of the stuff that concerns me is legitimate. But sometimes I turn the slightest of possibilities into inevitable realities. After all, a giant meteor “could” knock earth off... Read More
