Where Are You?
Today, as we wind down from a full year of ministry at SixEight Church and just before we gear up for a brand new season of ministry this fall, we stop for one week and ask ourselves a very important question: Where are we? When it comes to our relationship with God, it can be…
Love The Lord With All Your Heart, Part 3: What Have We Done?
As we finish up this look at what is, according to Jesus, the greatest command, we find a very interesting scene that unfolds in Mark 12. Jesus is dialoging and being challenged by the Elders, Teachers of the Law, Pharisees, Herodians and others who were gathered there. What we discover is that there is actually…
Love The Lord With All Your Heart, Part 2: Soul, Strength & Mind
Last week, we covered the idea of loving God with all your heart. This week, we’re going to try to gain a better understanding of “Soul, Strength and Mind.” As we are going to learn, the point of it all is that God wants our sold out, all the chips on the table, commitment. But…
Love The Lord With All Your Heart, Part 1: What Drives Us
We’ve heard this verse a hundred times. We talk about our heart all the time. We encourage one another to “follow your heart.” But, is that really good advice? Do we even have a proper understanding of what our heart is? And what does it mean to love God with all our heart? Let’s dig…
Love Your Neighbor, Part 3: Love Is The Fulfillment of the Law
As we finish up this series on loving our neighbors, we take a very practical look at some of the things the Bible says to do and not do when it comes to loving our neighbors. In Leviticus 19, we hear about all the rules for living in community. Some of them seem out there,…
Love Your Neighbor, Part 2: The Good Samaritan
Right after Jesus told us about loving our neighbors, he gave us an illustration about what it really means to do that. It’s one of the most popular stories in the Bible, and yet there might be some elements of the story we gloss over because we’re so familiar with it. Listen in as we…
Love Your Neighbor, Part 1: The Way We Love One Another
One of Jesus’ most famous passages is where He tells us to Love our neighbor as ourself. It’s all over the place in our world, even secular media will throw that phrase around all the time. Where does this start though? We are supposed to love our neighbor, but can we love our neighbor if…
Own It, Part 3: My Mission
We’ve talked about owning our own faith and owning our church, but what about the mission God has given us? How does this faith that we have, that we experience when we’re together with our church family intersect with the rest of our lives? Or, do we even try to bring it all together? Maybe,…
Own It, Part 2: Lay Down the Controller
For many of us, church is something we attend. It’s the pastor’s thing. I come to it, when I feel like it, but it’s just something I do. Well, what if I told you church isn’t something you go to or do? And what if I told you that God has designed this community to…
Own It, Part 1: Pick Up The Controller
We talk a lot about faith. We are supposed to have faith in Jesus and that’s our “saving faith.” But, what does that mean? Is faith something we do or is it something else? We invite you to listen in as we cover this tough topic and try to gain a better and biblical understand…
O Captain, My Captain!
It’s a classic movie now (although I remember when it was first out!), but many of us still love that classic scene of Dead Poets Society where the students take a stand for their teacher, who they feel has been unfairly fired. As we take a look at Baptism, this serves as a good reminder…
Baptism Sunday, April 30th, 2017
We have been blessed to be able to baptize 33 individuals since September 1st of 2013. And we would be honored to be able to help you take this step in your walk as a follower of Jesus Christ! If you’re wanting to get baptized, contact the church office to find out more. Our basic understanding of…
The End…or is it, Part 3: All The More…
So, Christ died on the cross to pay for our sins, and we know that our old self was crucified with Him on that cross. And, Christ was raised from the dead by the glory of the Father and we too receive this new life in Christ. What we thought was the end was only…
The End…or is it, Part 3: The Power To Live The New Life In Christ
Last Sunday was awesome! It was Easter, we celebrated the Resurrection and this new beginning we have because Christ conquered the grave. And it’s a powerful and epic story. It’s great. We love the resurrection. We could talk about that all day long. “Hey did you know my God rose from the dead?” But Don’t…
Journey Through The Empty Tomb, Day 48
Well, that was Easter. Jesus has Risen. Now what? Where do we go from here? Matthew 28:18-20, Luke 24:45-48; Acts 1:1-11; John 14:15-27; 15:26-27 The question we need to ask ourselves is: Are we just standing around looking at the empty tomb, or the fact that Jesus ascended? Or, are we actively pursuing the great…
One Of My Biggest Struggles As A Pastor
One of the greatest struggles I face as the pastor of SixEight Church is knowing how to lead in a way that works for everyone. I don’t want anyone to feel like they’re left out. I don’t want anyone to feel like this just isn’t the church for them. The sad truth is, that’s impossible….
The Disciples Project, Module 2: Baptism and Holiness
Jesus’ command was to “Go into all the world and make disciples, baptizing them in the name of the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And I am with you always, even to the very end of the age.” We’re making disciples, and a part…
