"Life does not consist in the abundance of possessions." In this message on materialism, Andrew Schey echoes the words of Jesus to wake us up to the reality that a life spent pursuing possessions is a life chasing after a lie. Our desire for more, whether motivated by self-satisfaction or fear, competes with our desire for God and leaves us unprepared for eternity. Instead, life is found through generosity and personal responsibility for the least among us.

In this teaching, Andrew Schey discusses the topic of vanity and how we're investing in a dissipating reality when we pour our energies into externals. In particular, vanity can be pursued through the lens of Christianity and replace our core pursuit of reflecting God and undergoing actual transformation. As a church, we don't want false righteousness, but to achieve godliness that has value today and lasting value for tomorrow. When we dig beneath the surface of the superficial, do we find substance underneath?

What is your net worth in heaven? In this message, Andrew Schey tackles the issue of money and how generosity has the power to transform your spiritual life. In Matthew, Jesus says the eye is the lamp of the body; as such, our stinginess infects our whole selves but our generosity is powerful enough to spread light throughout our whole being. When we trust God, money becomes a vehicle for light and we are able to use generosity to multiply blessings and exchange paper money for eternal treasures.

As we kick off Part 1 of our series, Andrew Schey explores how we become what we worship and invites us to journey to discover the meaningful place money, beauty, possessions, and experience can have in our lives when they're redeemed and placed under Christ's lordship. As we heard last week, we're built with a spiritual root system in which we draw life from somewhere - but when we choose to reflect lifeless things we simply build empty idols that will never bring us fulfillment. In this series, we'll break down the empty promises of the world and uncover true Health & Wealth in God, reflecting His image and bearing good fruit.

In this Easter message, Andrew Schey reminds us that with Christ’s resurrection comes his commitment to be faithful to us, and the promise of his Holy Spirit to dwell within us. No matter what you encounter on your journey, you do not go alone. For the God of the universe is "with you always, to the very end of the age" (Matthew 28:20).

In the final message of our I AM series, Andrew Schey unpacks how the Israelites followed the exact pattern for building the tabernacle as God instructed them, which led to a new level of intimacy with God in following the leading of His presence. As followers of Jesus today, this has profound implications for the way in which we lay hold of the life God has given us here on earth. When we strive to follow His exact pattern for walking in discipleship to Jesus, we too can be the well-adorned walking tabernacles where people will come and find the indwelling presence of the living God.

From standing before a burning bush in confusion and fear, asking God to send someone else, we now find Moses fighting on behalf of the Israelites and knowing God intimately enough to be certain that He will respond in love. As we hear from Brian Sumner, it is out of God's good pleasure toward Moses and Moses' desire for the people that God agrees to re-engage and be present with them as they make their way to the Promised Land. This level of intimacy speaks of God's nature and His desire for relationship with us - that if we abide in Him we will be rewarded with an even deeper friendship with our Father.

This weekend, Andrew Schey reflected on the sin of the Israelites in the golden calf episode and the motivations behind their activity in Exodus 32, drawing connections to the ugly side of our human nature. The nature of God is also displayed in this passage, revealing the emotional reality of God in the face of sin and His capacity to be hurt. As such, our relationship with God is a REAL relationship - one with the capacity for great hurt as well as perfect joy and peace.

Echoing the creation account, the details of the tabernacle are beautiful and immersive - a place where heaven literally meets earth. In this place of concentrated beauty, God communicated both His nearness and His otherness. Andrew Schey walks us through the key items of the tabernacle before applying the truth that we are now a tabernacle for God's Spirit. As the place where God's Holy Spirit now dwells, you are a creation being recreated from the inside out - if only you will let Him in.

In this teaching from Brian Sumner, we continue our I AM series in Exodus 20-24:11 where God meets Moses atop Mount Sinai and establishes the laws and commandments for His covenant with the nation of Israel. More than just displaying His mighty power, God pours out His heart through the laws and commandments, revealing His jealous disposition for their hearts, His holiness above anyone or anything else in all of creation, and the practical examples and details of what it looks like to be in a healthy relationship with Him. Like the Israelites, we have the choice to either follow His commandments in loving obedience or follow our own path instead.
