Even at a young age, Jesus knew exactly who He was and why He had come. This week, we'll explore how understanding Jesus' identity helps us better understand our own identity in Him.</p>

Who is Theophilus? Throughout this series, we'll explore the life and ministry of Jesus, uncovering key themes and stories that help us better understand His character and mission and answer one central question: Who is Jesus?</p>

As we look at 2 Corinthians 9, we’re reminded that generosity is about more than what we give. It’s about faithfully sowing, stewarding what God has entrusted to us, and continuing in the good work He has called us to, all for His glory and to make much of Him.</p>

Together, we’ll discover how generosity flows from a heart that treasures God, recognizes His provision, and desires to be part of what He is doing.</p></div>

We look to Hebrews 12 and see that God calls us all to a higher calling to make his name known and how we can finish strong as God calls us to different things in different seasons.<br></span>

Through his story, we’ll discover five distinct ways God uses every part of our story for His purpose and how nothing in our lives is ever wasted in His hands.</p></div>

Our calling is shaped not only by our gifts, but also by the people around us and the burdens God has placed on our hearts. Today, Pastor Clay takes us to Nehemiah, where we see how God used the needs of the people around him and the burden he felt for them to shape his calling.</p>

This week, Pastor Clay walks us through how God has equipped us for the calling He has placed on our lives and how we can use what He has given us to glorify God and make His name known.</p>

It is an opportunity to glorify God and reflect His beauty and character to a watching world. This week, we look at what it means for our work to become worship as we explore the story of Bezalel and the way God called and equipped him to use his gifts for His glory.</span></div>
<div><span style="font-family: "Helvetica Neue"; font-size: 13px;">This week, we continue our new series, Handcrafted, as Pastor Clay explores what it looks like to grow in maturity and sanctification through every stage of life. By asking the question, "What is Jesus asking me to do now?", we fins how to faithfully steward the unique gifts, callings, and roles God has entrusted to us in every season.</span></div>

God has uniquely gifted you with talents, relationships, experiences, and a story that He desires to use for His glory. As we look to Ephesians 2, we'll discover that we are God's workmanship, created with purpose, and begin exploring how to discern the unique calling He has for each of us.</span>
<font face="Lato, sans-serif">This week, we wrap up our summer sermon series, <b><i>The Story Of...</i></b>, as we look at Jesus' parable of the prodigal son and his brother.

Through thisnstory, we are reminded that the spiritual life is often a battlefield. Victory is not determined by our strength, size, or abilities, but by the greatness of the God who fights for us.</p>
