Purpose
Find Yours

We all want to know why we're here. In every single one of us, there's something that says "I want to find meaning and I want my life to matter!" We crave purpose. And God wants us to walk in it. So listen in and find yours.

God is…HERE
He really is!

God is...HERE. Some believe the good news. Some deny it. Some live like it's the truth, while others keep the good news quiet. But God is...HERE! So it's time that we stand for what we believe, and it's time that we believe that He's ready to do some supernatural things!

How He Loves

We sing the songs about God's love. We have the cliché sayings about God's love. But do we really get it? Do we truly understand it? Wherever we are in our journey with God, one thing will always matter: we must know HOW HE LOVES. Listen in and discover God's heart and His overwhelming love for us!

Look Both Ways
Heaven & Hell

Remember growing up & always being told to “look both ways before crossing the street”? There’s some truth to that, isn’t there? Before I cross over to the other side, I need to be aware of what’s coming. Heaven on one side - Hell on the other. You could even say that this is the most important crossing you’ll ever make. Let's take time to look both ways.

Ask God
Answers to Life's Greatest Questions

Everyone has questions. Even in a society where vast amounts of knowledge can be accessed at the click of a few buttons, we still find ourselves lacking the answers we need. We desperately need answers because these questions we're asking have eternal significance. So rather than look elsewhere, or ignore the questions altogether, let's ask God and discover the truth.

The Revival
Bringing a Generation Back to Life

The first church turned the world upside down. They brought God’s Kingdom to the earth and the movement was unstoppable. They were making history. Now, so much of our church seems to be history. We have lost momentum and fallen so far away from who we once were. For times like these, though, there is still hope. It’s time to come back to life. It’s time for a revival. Join us as we fight to become who and what we were made to be.

Closer

Prayer. Boring - Dull - Sleep - Pointless - God up there & me down here - Formulas - King James English - Yeesh! I really don't think prayer's supposed to look like what we think it's supposed to look like. Because when I hear Jesus talk about prayer & I see the heroes of the faith pray & I read God urging me to pray - that's not boring, dull, or formulaic. In fact, He says that if we draw near to Him then He'll draw near to us. I want that. I want God to be... closer. I know you do too - even if it does seem impossible at times. Draw closer to God & experience the thrill as He draws near to you.

UnNormal

It's easy to forget how Jesus said His followers would actually live and what their new lifestyle would actually look like. They would, He said, leave behind security, money, convenience, and even family for him. They would abandon everything for the gospel. They would take up their crosses daily. They would be anything but normal. However, somewhere along the line we’ve become normal, average, and ordinary… and the truth is that normal just isn’t working. It's time to break free from the norm to lead a radically unNORMAL (and incredibly more fulfilling) life!

Red Letters :: Sermon on the Mount

Nowhere does Jesus talk more clearly about what it looks like to follow him than in the Sermon on the Mount. It’s a provocative and counter-culture announcement about what happens when God shows up: The poor, the meek, and those who mourn are called blessed. Enemies are loved, the poor are cared for and God’s will is done on earth. Join us at Fusion as we spotlight Jesus’ words spoken on a hillside years ago, and written down in the Bible in those famous red letters.

Boy Meets Girl

We all know how the story goes - Boy meets Girl :: Boy and Girl fall madly in love and never fight :: Boy and Girl get married, have 2.3 kids, and live happily ever after in their house behind the white picket fence with their dog named Poofy. That may be how the story goes, but that's definitely NOT how life goes! In a world where real love seems just out of our reach, we somehow know that God has someone out there for us. Will Boy ever meet Girl? We believe so. Listen in to find out why, when, and how.

Follow Me
leading a generation

Our generation is looking for someone, anyone to follow. Is YOUR life “followable?” Can you honestly say, “Follow me as I follow Christ?” In a world full of hypocrites, finger pointing, relative truth, and “strings attached” love, it’s absolutely imperative that we stand up and live lives that are worth following! But what exactly makes a “followable” lifestyle? Listen in to find out!

Hello, my name is the Church

What comes to your mind when you hear the word 'church'? Most would say that stained glass windows, steeples, sermons, Sunday school, the Bible, choirs, or maybe even images of controversy and scandal flood their mind. But what is the church really? While many are saying, "The church, why bother?" the Bible surprisingly tells us the church is the apple of God's eye. Men and women through history have given their lives for it. It's the Temple of God, the body of Christ, and His bride. And this church is on a mission with an unstoppable force. So listen in as we are re-introduced to the people, purpose, and power of this amazing thing we call the Church.

I HEART

Our generation is suffering from an epidemic of people who spend their lives on absolutely useless things! What’s really your heart? What’s your passion? What's your life pointed at? In I HEART, 5 passion-filled speakers speak on what their true passions are.  And it’s our heart that as you listen to this series that your heart will be pricked to give your life to things that truly matter. Maybe God will even begin to pull out your true passion, focus, and meaning in life. What do YOU heart?

Now What?

Have you ever shown up at church and it's like everything is going over your head? It's like you get it... but you don't really get it. Or maybe you've been in church your whole life but, if you were honest, you couldn't answer the question, "What is Christianity all about?" A way that a lot of us get messed up in our faith is that we come into the church, but the church has moved on past "the basics" to deeper things... so we never end up getting the elementary truths of the faith. Well, we want to fix that. Listen in as we get established in the foundational truths of Christianity.

Naked
the bare truth of sex, love, and happily ever after

Doesn’t something deep inside you crave real love? But aren’t you tired of crappy dates and dead-end relationships? Tired of having your heart torn in two… again? Then logic would say that something probably needs to give. In this world we’re all looking for “the one,” but how do we find them? And what do we do when we meet them? And how do we avoid messing it all up? Listen in as we peel back the layers of Sex, Dating, Marriage, Heartache, Love, Joy, and true Beauty.

The Call
4/29/2009 to 5/27/2009

2,000 years ago Jesus stood before His disciples and proclaimed these words, “Go and make disciples...” We call it the Great Commission, and it's the highest calling on our life! But somewhere along the line, the heart behind that commission has been lost. Listen in as we set out to embrace Jesus’ words again, recapturing God’s heart for us and the world around us. It’s time to stop talking about it & start doing it. And it begins now.

Hello, my name is Jesus
1/21/2009 to 3/04/2009

Come be introduced to this man, Jesus. He walked the earth 2,000 years ago but remains the most significant and controversial person in all of human history. Observe the prophecies surrounding His coming, feel the groaning of the Jewish people for a Messiah, witness His birth and His life, and be changed by His death, resurrection, and soon return. You cannot meet this man and leave unshaken.

God On Mute
7/23/2008 to 8/27/2008
“My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?” It was the cry of Jesus on the cross and it’s the cry in many of our hearts. Mom dies, a child gets cancer, a friend turns their back on God, and I can’t find a job or a wife. Where’s God when life hurts? What’s the deal with unanswered prayer? And how can a good and all-powerful God allow evil and suffering in the world? People have been wrestling with these same questions for generations. What’s your answer?

Take Back the Future
5/21/2008 to 7/02/2008
What does the future hold for you? What does the future hold for the church & the world? Are the coming days bright or bleak?
The good news is that even though the future may not look all that bright, the future is not set in stone and we have been given a charge and the power to make a difference! From combating abortion & divorce to simply speaking to a co-worker to starting a movement or giving someone a hug, God wants to use you in the small & large things of life to make His Will a reality on earth.
There are many who would create the future for evil. Where are those who will create the future for good? Create a different future. The time is now.

Sex. God.
Exploring the Truth About God & Sex
9/5/2007 to 10/10/2007

Hopefully we all know what sex is by now! But that begs the question, "What does God have to say about sex?" Parents told us it was forbidden. The church keeps silent about it, while the world screams, "It's great...just use a condom!" No wonder we don't know what to think or do! In Sex.God., we take a wide lens look at sex and answer questions like, "What's the big deal with porn?", "Does he really love me?" and "What does the Bible really say about sex?" Listen in as we discover the true meaning of Sex and its connections to God. Interested?

Clarity

Baby Jesus? Buddy Jesus? Plastic Jesus? Jesus 911? There are so many different ideas about who Jesus is that it starts to get really confusing. Who is Jesus, really? That's an important question because how you view Jesus determines what you do with His message. In Clarity, Avery Nesbitt debunks the myths of who Jesus is and then challenges us to live out that knowledge. Who do you say He is?

Roots
Discovering Christianity's Jewish Roots
7/11/2007 to 8/1/2007

News flash! Jesus wasn't a Christian...really. Jesus, the disciples and the heroes of the faith were almost all Jewish! And what God did was take His timeless truths and put them in culture in a way that made sense. There is more to God, the Bible and life than we realize. Things like the Sabbath, Messiah & Marriage make a lot more sense when we view them through a cultural lense. We have a deep, meaningful, profound faith...let's dig up the Roots. PLEASE listen to this series...it will change the way you view the Christian faith.
