Sanctification is God’s will for every believer. The word itself can seem complicated and overwhelming but it simply means separation from sin and dedication to God. Yet a closer look at scripture reveals 3 stages of sanctification that show God’s plan and our role in being sanctified. Sanctification is us becoming who God has called us to be, and it is our primary call as Christians! Paul tells us in 1 Thessalonians 4:3a 'For this is the will of God, your sanctification!…' Let's explore and discover God’s truth for us!

Scientists are projecting that they will have brought the woolly mammoth back to life after having been extinct for 4000 by 2028! Aside from being a remarkable accomplishment, this provides a compelling example of what the Bible calls ‘re-birth’, ‘being born again’, or ‘regeneration’! In this message, we will explore what God says about regeneration.

In the beginning God’s intention for humanity was that we enjoy him forever. However, endowed with free will we read in the book of Genesis that Adam and Eve sinned, which brought about a break in fellowship with God. Redemption is the story of God's loving response to humanity's sin by sending his son to forgive us and call us back into a relationship with him. Join us as we go on this journey of understanding what it means to be redeemed!
