Being United—The Seven Unities

Presented by Chad Messerly - December 18, 2020

We often talk about the goal of being united. But is being united the only goal we need, or does it matter what we are united by? There are many things we could be united by, but are they all good? Right now our world is not united on much. The Church is to be different. In this FNL Chad Messerly will discuss the seven things we are to be united by within the Body of Jesus Christ.

Self-Reliant or Selfish?

Presented by Daniel Harper - May 15, 2020

On other occasions, maybe they just don’t want the answer because they like the one they’ve developed! Asking questions can be hard, but it’s vital for our growth. Answerable questions left unasked are missed opportunities for growth.
