The Weight of the Crown

Four monarchs. Four crowns. Four famous rulers. One calling. Lead the people while serving God. Some Biblical kings and queens modeled devotion and obedience to the Almighty. Most chose to serve themselves instead of the Creator.

Many powerful lessons to learn. Challenges to overcome. Battles to win and victories to pursue. These are some of the Biblical truths we will encounter in our new sermon series called The Weight of the Crown: Leading People While Following God.

Join Pastors Avery Stafford, Caleb Lu, and Juan Garcia as they share messages from the narratives of four rulers: Saul, David, Esther, and Solomon. You are invited to join us!

The Greatest Year of My Life Sermon Series

We just worshipped on Easter Sunday—a celebration of the risen Savior. But the empty tomb is more than a single event. It is an ongoing reminder of the King of king's sacrificial love for you and worthy of your praise. But is He worthy of your allegiance?

You know that feeling of leaving the previous year and entering a new one. And many times, you cannot wait to get as far away from the previous year as possible, right. But what if every year finished as the greatest year of your life? Does Jesus have a role in defining a successful life for you? Are His life goals now your life goals? Ultimately, do you REALLY want to follow Him? These are examples of questions which we will seek honest answers in this new sermon series called The Greatest Year of My Life.

Pastor Avery will preach for 3-weeks challenging us to measure a successful life through "Kingdom of God" metrics. Come every week ready for God to transform your life!

2:42 Sermon Series

Welcome everyone to a brand new year. Along with the calendar change come other changes like weather, season, personal goals, and resolutions. These new beginnings can motivate us to see and feel some forward motion in our lives physically, mentally, socially, emotionally, and even spiritually.

However, change can accompany pain and struggle. This was the case for the launch of the Church. We invite you to join us as we consider four foundational commitments that the early church made as we start a new sermon series entitled 2:42. Our preaching pastors will focus our hearts and minds on making the same four commitments as our Common Ground community grows in new, exciting ways. Please make plans to worship with us through the month of January as we delve into the 2:42 sermon series.
