Get A Life

Colossians 3:1-17

As Dallas Willard has said, Jesus came not just to get people into heaven, but to get heaven into people. As God’s people, we are called to a new life—a life of joy, peace, patience and gentleness. A life free of sin, shame, and selfishness. In this study through Colossians 3:1-17, may your eyes be open to the life you could live, and then may your heart be open to actually living it.

Revive

Journey with us

What if Christlikeness became your standard operating procedure, in all circumstances? Imagine a day when you don’t have to work so hard to love God and love others—even when your plans snap loose, when you get passed up for the promotion, when you want to lose it on your spouse, or when you get cut off in traffic. God desires to transform you from the inside out, and in this series, we’ll examine three practices to help you revive our soul.

Indescribable

Describing the indescribable God.

Through this series, we’ll look at a different facet of God’s character, including some surprising qualities you might not fully appreciate about him just yet. There’s a reason this series is so important: Who God is and how we think of him has a significant impact on the way we think and feel and live each day—whether we realize it or not.

One Another

Diving into Spiritual Friendship

We’re wired for relationship and were created for community. The kind of friends we need are ones who love God and love us—and who help us to love God more. Rarely does a person drift into spiritual friendship. It takes determination & deliberation to form a habit of cultivating spiritual friendships. This series is all about the what, how, and why behind fostering spiritual friendships in your life.

Once Upon A Time

The Parables of Jesus

The parables of Jesus are short stories that pack a punch. They’re intended to evoke an emotional reaction from the hearer, and be a catalyst for true and lasting change. Find out what the parables of Jesus can teach you, and how they can transform everything about life, love, leadership, and everything in between on your journey of discipleship.

Everything You Need

Lessons from the life of Elijah

In studying the life of the Old Testament prophet Elijah, we will internalize God’s promise of faithfulness to his people. Elijah’s story illustrates God’s provision, despite unexpected and disappointing circumstances. God gives his people what they need when they need it, whether they know they need it or not. Even when they think they need something else, God gives provision, protection, and direction—he gives everything you need.

Meant for More

Romans 12

Romans 12 was penned by the Apostle Paul to a group of Jesus followers who found themselves in the middle of political turmoil, social chaos, and relational strife. Diversity of ethnicity, diversity of political affiliation, and diversity of opinions about how the church should love God and love others was on the verge of tearing their community apart. Romans 12 shows us that we are meant for more. We may not be Jesus followers in Rome in the 1st century, but Paul’s words are exactly what we need if you’re going to be a unified and effective church in the 21st century.

More Than You Know

Paul's Prayer to the Ephesians

More Than You Know is based on a single New Testament prayer of Paul, Ephesians 3:14-20. It’s a short passage with a lot to take in! In this 3-part series, we’ll dig deep into three lessons from this potent prayer. 1) You’re stronger than you think. 2) You’re more loved than you realize. 3) Your prayers are probably too small.

Keep Singing

A Season in the Psalms

The book of Psalms is the songbook of God’s people. The songwriters of the Psalms model for us how to keep singing in any and every circumstance Through crisis & contentment, suffering & success, problems & prosperity—the Psalms help us find our song to worship God through it all.

The Gospel of John

A Study of the Gospel of John

In this series, we discover the words of John who—after walking closely with Jesus—spends the remainder of his life pondering what he observed: who Jesus is, what Jesus did, and why that matters. Through colorful, connected stories unique to this gospel, John writes so readers might come to entrust their lives to Jesus, the God and King, who gave his life for us and inspires us to give our lives for others.

Chasing Wisdom

A Journey Through Proverbs

Life is a journey, and the choices we make largely determine our direction. Wisdom enables us to navigate through life, making good decisions at every turn. This fall, we’ll examine the book of Proverbs and look to the wisdom of God to direct the path of our lives.

Thrive

Inside Out

The Sermon on the Mount

The Sermon on the Mount reveals the secrets of life. God didn’t hand us a system of rules and regulations to follow; instead, Jesus explains how God originally intended us to live. In this series, we’ll sit at the feet of Jesus with the first disciples, peeling back each layer of Matthew 5-7, to discover that God isn’t interested in modifying our behavior to conform to his standards. He wants us to become the kind of people who will naturally live the way He intended. He plans to change us from the Inside Out.

The Good Life

A Study of the Beatitudes

People chase the American Dream—financial independence, superb health, professional success—hoping to obtain “the good life” those things promise. But what if the pursuit of happiness leads elsewhere? In our series The Good Life, we’ll examine the Beatitudes of Jesus—his announcement of good news to a hurting world—and discover the life blessed by God.

The Prayers of Paul

Journey with us...

Throughout his letters, Paul prays for his friends in churches scattered throughout the region. As we read his prayers today, we notice a stark contrast between the content of Paul’s prayers and the requests we make of God each day. How might your life change if you prayed prayers like Paul? In this series, we’ll examine four of the apostle’s prayers and begin praying them for ourselves and the people around us.

Closer Than You Think

The Life of Joseph

Joseph was raised in a dysfunctional family, abused by his brothers, sold into slavery, and falsely accused and imprisoned—all before the age of thirty. The evidence was stacked to conclude that God was not with him or near him—or even on his side. But despite being punished, an innocent victim of fear and fault, he finds out God is actually closer than he thinks. Join us for a series on the life of Joseph, and let his tangled, tender story color your own.

James: The Way of Wisdom

The Way of Wisdom

Wisdom is the ability to navigate life well. We long to find the right response, the right words, the right approach as we face suffering or success, and as we manage relationships. The New Testament Epistle of James offers us the opportunity to pluck the practical wisdom of a disciple of Jesus and challenges us to make the choice to apply it to our lives every day. Join us as we examine the tried-and-true wisdom of James—and discover how living out a wise faith can impact all aspects of our lives.

Stuff

Developing a Theology of Money and Possessions

Money tempts us with power, protection, provision, and pleasure. Its promises are grand and its shelter seemingly secure. No wonder we trust and treat money like a god—it acts like one! Whether you have a little or a lot of it, money can rule you. In this series, we’ll challenge you to take a look at your relationship with money and possessions and examine whether the almighty dollar has uprooted the place of the almighty God in your life. Join us as we learn together how to understand resources in light of God’s economy.

Journey with us throughout the rest of the summer and discover how the wisdom and care in these letters can impact your own faith and our church community in the days ahead.

Philippians

The Book of Philippians

While a prisoner for his faith, Paul penned a passionate letter to his friends in Philippi. He preaches about unity and teaches about the kind of life that thrives in spite of circumstances. Is it really possible to find joy while bearing the pressures and problems of living in a broken world? The Apostle Paul thinks so. Join us each weekend as we work through Paul’s letter to the Philippians.

Psalm 23

A Deep Dive into Psalm 23

This season, we’ll explore the peace that can be found in the valley of Psalm 23. This song has been studied widely through human history as a cherished piece of poetic comfort, but it’s more than good literature. Each week we will examine a different theme from the psalm, exploring its images and painting a vivid picture of how life with God is intended to be. Join us as we move closer to a reality that few of us experience, but all of us should embrace.

Other Messages

Journey with us...

At Capital, our mission is simple: To lead people to become Christ-centered disciples. We base our mission and vision on that which Jesus declared to be the Greatest Commandment, as found in the following scripture: Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength. The second is this: Love your neighbor as yourself. There is no commandment greater than these. Mark 12:30-31
