At Hand
...John the Baptist came preaching…”Repent, for the kingdom of heaven is at hand…For this is he who was spoken of by the prophet Isaiah… Prepare the way of the Lord; make his paths straight.” Matthew 3:1a, 2, 3b (ESV)
repent (v.):
to feel such sorrow for sin or fault as to be disposed to change one’s life for the better; be penitent.
prepare (v.):
make ready or suitable or equip in advance for a particular purpose or for some use or event…
Join us for the series leading to Easter Sunday in which we will prepare our hearts for the Kingdom of Heaven. For it is At Hand!

Revolution
What does the DNA of a radical church look like?
That’s what we want to be: radical for Jesus. We want our worship to be radical. We want our love to be radical. And we want radical desire for the lost and dying to know Jesus personally.
Join us in February for “Revolution: The DNA of a Radical Church,” and discover what a radical church looks like.
Sharing is an admirable and desirable virtue … though it’s one that’s difficult to live out. We tend to focus on our own needs and all we feel we deserve.
But that’s not what God intends for us. When we share, we are most like God. And His blessings for us when we share are abundant.
Join us in January for “Overflow,” and discover the joy found in sharing.
What if your best days are ahead?
When it comes to spirituality in the American church, some people seem to delight in a “doom and gloom” mindset. But what if our best days are ahead of us?
Think back to when you were closest to God. What if you could be that close again?
What if your walk with Christ was close and exciting? What if you heard His still, small voice every day? What if you kept up a running conversation with Jesus all week long? What if you really joined with Jesus on His mission to help the poor and win the lost? What if you really prayed for friends and family members and saw them come to Christ? What if your prayer life was passionate and productive and punctuated with answered prayers? What if reading the Bible was gave you insights and intimacy that really transformed your life.
It would be safe to call that personal “revival.” And what if hundreds – even thousands – of people in NE Ohio had those very same experiences?
Revival is possible. It’s a gracious gift God can sovereignly give to those who seek Him with all their hearts.
Join us as we encourage each other to seek God for revival.
The story of Christ’s birth is one of promise, hope, and a revolutionary love.
So what’s happened? America spends an average of $450 billion a year every Christmas. Yet when its over, many of us are left with this empty feeling of missed purpose.
What if Christmas became a world-changing event again, one that included the poor, the forgotten, the overlooked and the sick?
